New Montevue home opens as elder care milestone in Frederick County
Frederick County officials and residents dedicated the new Montevue Home a milestone in county history. The domiliary care facility now houses about 50 residents, with 60-room capacity, in a modern building across Montevue Lane from the original structure, which was closed this year after residents moved to the new site. Dana Cable, Hood College gerontology expert, urged expanding care options beyond institutional settings while noting the growing elderly population. He suggested community-based day centers and family caregiving as alternatives, cautioning against forced institutionalization for insurance benefits. The Montevue Home, connected to Citizens Nursing Home, remains a key facility for seniors and some younger disabled residents.
