Assisted Living Near Glenmont, MD — A Small Home, Same County

Assisted living near Glenmont, MD

Bright Hands is a 5-resident assisted living home at 14109 Burning Bush Lane, Silver Spring MD 20906 — on the border of Glenmont.

We're owner-operated by Nimmi Perera, a Maryland Assisted Living Manager, Certified Medication Technician, and Certified Nursing Assistant with over 10 years of senior-care experience. With only 5 residents and Level 3 licensure , we can care for adults with complex needs — including dementia — in a true home setting.

About Glenmont

Glenmont 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, Glenmont 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 the Glenmont Metro station (Red Line terminus), Glenmont Shopping Center, Glenmont Plaza, Wheaton Regional Park, Brookside Gardens, and the Matthew Henson Trail. The Georgia Ave / Connecticut Ave corridors handle most everyday errands — grocery stores, pharmacies, and primary-care offices — without families needing to get on the Beltway.

Glenmont is fully inside the 20906 ZIP code — the same ZIP as our home at 14109 Burning Bush Lane. Bright Hands is about 3 miles north of the Glenmont Metro station, on a quiet residential cul-de-sac. For families whose parent has lived in Glenmont for decades, this means there is no "adjustment to a new neighborhood" to layer on top of the adjustment to a new home: same streets, same Giant, same Holy Cross Hospital, same primary-care offices.

Why families from Glenmont choose Bright Hands

Three reasons Glenmont 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 Glenmont 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.
