Adult Day Care Communities in Damascus, MD

"I was pleasantly impressed with this facility. When I visited the facility with my 93 year old father, we were greeted warmly and the staff was friendly and professional. The facility was very clean. The large room had soothing music and most of the participants were out shopping. I enjoyed the multicultural environment, the languages and food that are offered. The staff was kindly toward my father. They offer many activities (craft, art, music and exercise) to keep the residents involved and stimulated. "

"My husband and I visited three adult day programs in our area. My husband liked this one best. We found it was quieter and less busy. This was easier for him to deal with and he did not feel so overwhelmed or confused by his alzheimer's disease there. I appreciated the longer hours available, from 8am to 5pm, if I needed them. There is also a support group that meets in the same building on two different days that I have found helpful. Finally the staff has been very good at helping my husband to adjust to the program and working with me to get him to attend. I appreciate their flexibility in allowing us to adapt the program to fit our family. "

"Wonderful staff. Very dedicated. "

"Easter Seals is a brand new facility. It's an inter-generational center and It is really nice and wonderful. They had a place in there where they could do the people's hair, where they could get people showers. They have a big screened in porch that people could go out all the time. They had gardens in the back that they can go into. They had PTs , OTs, speech therapists and health nurses. They had transportation but it's a bit far away out here and it's a difficult trek for my husband with the traffic situation. "

"Iona House is an extraordinary facility that provides a full range of adult day care services as well as delivered meals and health and wellness services. The staff is warm and welcoming and there is always something new going on such as an art show by seniors. "

"We chose to have my mother in Caritas House Assisted Living because she is a devout Catholic and they have all the services and support that she wants and needs. The staff is friendly, accommodating, informed, helpful, and thorough. She has a 320-square-foot room on a corner with two big windows, high ceilings, and a large bathroom. It's very nice. The food is fine. There's a variety offered every day and it's good. They also have snacks available pretty much throughout the day whenever she wants them. There are classes, programs, gatherings, and social events every day of the week except for the weekend. There is a virtual mass offered every day, as well as an in-person mass offered on Sundays. There's a large garden terrace area, large common areas with game tables, small libraries on each floor, and large televisions on each floor."

"This is senior housing, subsidized for those who qualify. It's a massive place that takes up several blocks"”in a gorgeous location, just behind the Potomac River. It is close to the new baseball stadium and near the waterfront, so there are lots of places nearby for eating and entertainment. It's also easily accessible by train. There is a beautifully manicured lawn, and many apartments have great views of the city. The whole place has a nice feeling"”built in the 70s. Instead of seeing walls, you see windows, so the design helps make it seem like a happier place"”and hip. There are white floors and high white ceilings, which gives it a modern, a clean look. Parking is challenging; there is no lot, so visitors have to parallel park on a one-way street. It is extremely secure--monitored with a call-in and sign-in system for those who enter. It's also very well maintained. The place inside is very pleasing to the eye, because it has lots of glass and big windows that look out on landscaping. It feels spread out, never crowded. All apartments are private"”nice, moderate size, with appliances that are not new but kept very nicely. Some group activities are offered, mostly organized by the residents, most of whom seem very active; there is no communal dining. All residents are responsible for covering and paying for their own care needs. "
