Why Laurel Families Choose Brookeville House
Small Homes. Real Care. Big Difference.
Laurel sits at the crossroads of three counties, which means you have options. But more options doesn’t always mean better options. Most assisted living facilities in the area follow the same formula: big buildings, high volume, thin staffing.
We took a different approach.
An Actual Home, Not a Facility Our three Brookeville residences are real houses—not repurposed hotels or purpose-built institutions. Residents live in comfortable, B&B-style homes with private and semi-private rooms, cozy living areas, and peaceful outdoor spaces. It looks like a home because it is one.
Only 8 Residents Per Home Large facilities house 50, 80, even 150 residents. At Brookeville House, we cap each home at 8. Smaller means quieter, safer, and more personal. Your parent won’t get lost in the shuffle.
1:4 Staff-to-Resident Ratio This is where boutique care really shows. With dedicated caregivers on-site 24/7 and only 8 residents to care for, our ratio is approximately 1:4—about four times better than industry averages. That means faster response, deeper relationships, and care tailored to the individual.
Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing No games. No surprise fees. Our monthly rate includes room, board, meals, personal care, medications, activities, and housekeeping. We’ll give you an honest quote upfront, and that’s what you’ll pay.
