About Aspen Hill

Aspen Hill is a community of about 50,000 in eastern Montgomery County, anchored by Georgia Ave and Connecticut Ave. The housing stock is a mix of mid-century ranch homes, garden apartments, and newer townhomes. Family-oriented and quieter than Wheaton or Bethesda, Aspen Hill has a settled character — many residents have lived there for 40 years and now want care options within the same community their family still lives in.

Key landmarks include Aspen Hill Library, Northwest Park, the Matthew Henson Trail, and Wheaton Regional Park just to the south. The Georgia Ave corridor handles most everyday errands — pharmacies, primary-care offices, and grocery stores are all accessible without getting on a major highway.

The 20853 and 20906 ZIP codes both touch Aspen Hill. Our address — 14109 Burning Bush Lane, Silver Spring MD 20906 — puts us at the edge of that same footprint. Many residents who think of themselves as Aspen Hill residents are technically in 20906. We are very much in the same corner of the county.

Why families from Aspen Hill choose Bright Hands

Three reasons Aspen Hill families choose Bright Hands:

1. Drive time — you can check on a parent twice a week without spending an hour in the car. Families who visit frequently tell us the 8-minute drive changes the relationship — they come more often, they stay longer, and they feel less guilt on the days they can't make it.
2. A small home feels familiar — particularly for a parent who has lived in a single-family Aspen Hill house for 30 or 40 years, a 5-resident home with a real kitchen and a quiet back yard is a much closer match than a 120-bed facility off Rockville Pike.
3. Level 3 license means your parent doesn't have to move again — we can keep caring for someone as dementia progresses or medical needs increase, within the bounds of what Maryland Level 3 permits.

The care we provide

At Bright Hands we provide assisted living for adults who need help with daily tasks — bathing, dressing, mobility, meals — as well as residents with dementia, complex medication needs, or post-hospital recovery. We're a Level 3 licensed program, meaning we're authorized by Maryland OHCQ to manage the highest-complexity care permitted in an assisted living setting. Every medication pass is handled by Nimmi personally (CMT certification). A caregiver is awake and in the home overnight — not on-call remotely. See dedicated pages for our memory care and short-term respite stays.

What it costs

Bright Hands is private-pay, all-inclusive. Our rate is $5,000/month — the same for every resident regardless of care level, with no level-of-care surcharges. That covers the private room, all meals and snacks, medication management, laundry, activities, and 24/7 awake care including overnight.
