A new assisted living home in Prince George’s County, Maryland, is aiming to blend comfort, cultural connection, and around-the-clock care when it opens later this month.

Heaven’s Hands Wellness, a Black-owned, husband-and-wife-run residence, will begin welcoming seniors on Aug. 22 in Upper Marlboro. Owners Flora and Beks Amadi said their goal is to provide what they call “compassionate care, guided by grace” in a setting that feels more like a home than an institution.

“To be a resource for families, and for the growing population that needs this type of service — especially in our communities — you can’t really quantify that,” Beks said in an interview with WTOP.

The five-bedroom, four-bath residence features private and shared bathrooms, motorized beds, and amenities such as Jacuzzis in some rooms. “Each room is specific to the individual — with color, style and taste,” Flora said. “We range between twin beds to queen-size beds, and some even have Jacuzzis.”

In addition to the physical comforts, the Amadis said the home will offer licensed staff available 24/7 to assist with daily living activities, including medication administration, help dressing and grooming, and hair or nail care. Meals will be personalized to residents’ preferences, and respite care will be available for families needing short-term stays.
