ANNOUNCEMENTS

At Winter Growth, we understand the emotional and practical challenges of finding the right care for a loved one living with memory loss. For professionals in the aging services field - and for those personally balancing work and caregiving - we want to share a special opportunity in our Howard County Memory Care community.

We currently have openings for new residents in a setting that offers:

• Private rooms and 24/7 personalized support
• 6 hours of daily enrichment - cognitive, physical, and social
• Onsite nursing and a warm, home-like atmosphere
• Transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no buy-in fees

For a limited time, families can lock in current monthly rates for one full year (must move in by June 30, 2025).

If you’re advising a family - or making decisions for your own - we’d be honored to be part of the conversation.

Contact Janelle at (410) 964-9616 for more information or to schedule a tour.
