About This Community

Welcome to Winter Growth

Helping Older and Disabled Adults to Celebrate Live

Winter Growth is a non-profit organization founded in 1979 in Brookeville, MD. Our mission is to provide community based services for older and disabled adults that support them in achieving their highest potential for independence, dignity, and life satisfaction. We are licensed by the State of Maryland to provide Adult Medical Day Care and Assisted Living. Our vehicles for the Assisted Transportation Program are certified twice a year for safety by the State.

At Winter Growth, we recognize that each individual has a different set of needs. We know that there are times when a nursing home is the best care solution. When an individual truly needs 24-hour care by registered nurses and on site physicians, the nursing home is often the best venue to receive this care. However, unwanted nursing home placement is sometimes chosen for lack of services that could support people in their home or in a small assisted living home.

The flexible menus of care services we have developed are designed to work individually or in combination to help older adults avoid unnecessary institutionalization. Often a nursing home could be avoided but for the availability of a service that can reasonably be provided in the community. At Winter Growth, we are committed to filling those gaps.

Our services are also designed to support families in their desire to continue to care for their family members in their homes or sometimes in one of our small family-style assisted living programs. Each of our services has the goal of promoting integrity, self-esteem, and life satisfaction for both older and/or disabled adults and their family members.

Services Include:

Adult Medical Day Programs, including:

Activities and Care for Cognitive Alert Participants
Activities and Care for Participants with Dementia
Targeted Fitness Groups
Nursing and Personal Care
Social Services
Meals and Snacks
Transportation

Winter Growth’s target populations include older adults:

Who are isolated, lacking social contact, mental stimulation, exercise, and proper nutrition.
Who lack appropriate transportation to access medical care.
Who suffer from age-related depression or long-term mental health issues.
Who live with one or more chronic illness(es) that limits their ability to perform primary or secondary activities of daily living.
Who require a secure environment with experienced staff and structured activities during the day and/or evening hours.
Who require nursing oversight (less than 24 hours a day) for a chronic illness or disability.

Funding and Fees

Winter Growth is a 501(c)(3) fee for service organization. We set fees designed to cover our cost of providing quality services, and then work to identify all available sources to help individuals of moderate and low income to pay those fees.

My aunt is at Winter Growth. It's beautiful. It's pretty much memory care units and also an assisted living unit. So it's two in one. They're separate in terms of workers and in terms of how they operate. They're all single rooms. No shared rooms. The staff is pretty much good. The food is good. They have physical, occupational, and respiratory therapy, all of that, at least five days per week onsite. They have activities on site. It's a wonderful place. The staff is great. They're awesome. They're wonderful staff. They have three prepared meals per day. They have a chef onsite seven days per week. The structure of the building is wonderful. It has more than enough room for all the clients to roam on the memory side. It has a courtyard that you can go outside, go into the garden, and pick whatever they want to pick and come back inside. You don't have to supervise them because it is a courtyard, which means that you can't leave the premises. They're just in between two buildings. They provided a garden there and they can go to the garden whenever they like. The doors are always open for them to go out, there are benches out, they can just sit there and relax and come back when they're ready. It has a lot of social areas where they can sit with each other or they can go by themselves. So it's great.
