"There are not enough words for me to express how amazing Winter Growth Assisted Living Facility is, and how much they have blessed my family! My sister had a severe stroke in 2012, and I became her legal guardian at that time. By 2018, she was able to be moved to assisted living, which was quite a task for me to undertake because I didn't even know where to start. I live in Howard County, so I wanted my sister to be closer to me, and everyone that I spoke with mentioned how I should apply to Winter Growth because it was such a wonderful facility. They were not kidding! I called one day, had a tour the following day, and was already submitting the application shortly after. I was so impressed with Winter Growth's layout, staff, care given to the residents, etc. I knew that day this was the place for my sister, and seeing the dogs and cats in the facility just sealed it for me as we are animal lovers! Winter Growth just felt like "home". Sure it's not flashy and doesn't have all the latest technology or renovations, but how many of us can say that for our own homes? For me and my family, home is a place where it is warm, cozy and comfortable, and Winter Growth has all those boxes checked. We were very fortunate to have my sister accepted as a resident, and she has been very happy living there. She has her own room and privacy, but also has support at any time, should she need it. She enjoys the food and the company of other residents and staff. They have become her family as well. As with all of us in life, there are days that may not go so well, but the staff at Winter Growth will work with my sister and include me, so that all of us are on the same page. We always come to resolutions that benefit everyone. I know from personal experience that Winter Growth always looks out for the residents best interest, and treats them with respect and dignity, which I appreciate so much. Winter Growth always plans special events for the residents with their family's like Christmas dinners, Valentine's gatherings, or any other special occasion that comes up. My family, including my 2 children, always enjoy visiting because it's such a homey and welcoming environment. My sister also has many visits from other friends and family, and each one of them has told me that she is in an amazing facility! From March 2020 to the present, things have been tough with the pandemic, but we have made the best of it by speaking via FaceTime daily, dropping off items, having things shipped to her, etc. Winter Growth took the care and safety of their residents very seriously, and still do, and thankfully my sister has been healthy throughout everything. In a time of uncertainty, anxiety, and fear, I have had constant peace of mind knowing that my sister is receiving the best care at Winter Growth, where she is safe, healthy, and happy! I couldn't have asked for a better facility for my sister to live. We are so thankful for all they do by providing wonderful care and accommodations for their special residents. Winter Growth has been such a blessing to my family!"

"My mother attends Loudoun County Adult Day Center. Their program is awesome. They provide constant stimulation for a person with dementia who needs constant interaction and encouragement. There is a variety of activities day-to-day like art, music, and outings. The staff is very friendly, food is provided, and it's a clean facility. I would highly recommend them."

"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. "

"I was finally able to find a place for my Mother to go to. I got her into an Assisted Living Facility just 2 weeks ago. I ended up choosing Leewood for her in Annandale, Virginia. They had exactly what I needed.They got accommodation assisted living and transition to nursing home as well. What really stood out to me is that they offer a subsidized badge. Since she doesn't have a lot of money, they got her into a spend down program and she will be able to go on Medicaid after her money runs out. I really like the place. Again, they had exactly what it is I was looking for for my Mom. I didn't wanna have to put her somewhere else and if she need to be transitioned to a nursing home, I don't have to start the process all over again. From their accommodations, to their environment, to food, to their rooms, I got nothing to say but good things to them. I am totally impressed with the place. "

"My mom's a client of Daybreak Adult Day Services. It's perfect. They pick her up with the bus and she loves the ride. I think it makes her feel more independent. They have all kinds of activities too. They feed her a morning snack and then lunch, and they have an afternoon snack before she gets back on the bus and comes home. They have all different courses of activities during the day. They have people who come in and sing with them, and they play games. They have an outdoor area for nice days. There is a goldfish pond outside. It's just a really nice place and we like it. The price is very reasonable as well. The place is beautiful and clean. It just needs some stuff on the walls. Of course, if it had stuff on the walls, that would probably be harder to keep perfectly clean. They offer two snacks and a lunch, and the food is excellent. Their ham salad is amazing. They serve all different kinds of food, and they send in the menu. The day that we went to check it out, they had ham salad, and that was really, really good. The staff are amazing. They just seem to have a boundless amount of patience, energy, and smiles. They're just so pleasant to deal with, and they're so accommodating. They do whatever they can for the people they're taking care of. I just absolutely love them. People who have had family members there are still in contact with the staff even after the family member has passed on; that's how amazing the staff is."

"I was worked w/them through an agency. Over all the care is wonderful , inter-generation environment , they have different activities & recreation for the patients. How ever they had visitors in the NEW building on Windsor blvd , & they knew they was coming and they would be strapped for help , they called the agency & said they had an available shift open for Tuesday & Thursday 9-4:30 , iWent there & Lynette told me she had visitors and that they would be leaving at 12pm. I was working my but off until irealized the visitors was gone & Lynette came over to me and told that I can go home & when I looked at the time & it was only 12:30pm , so they used the agency to cover up the fact that they don't have enough help for all of those people , & used me just for 3.5 hours when they told the agency it was a minimum of 4 hours at least. So from what I've seen they are strapped for help and do a lot of covering up . the care is great but the way the handle business is not appropriate "

"My brother-in-law went to Crescent Ridge. The staff was very good. Everything was good at Crescent Ridge, and the only reason I pulled him from there was that they didn't have transportation to come to my area to pick him up in the morning and to bring him back in the evening. That's the only reason I really took him away from there. The rooms were clean and neat. The bathroom and the dining area were clean and neat. Food was good, but it was catered. It was almost like a Meals-on-Wheel type food that they brought in, but they did the breakfast there themselves. The lunch and the dinner were brought in. With regards to activities, they had dance, music, TV, exercise, and they would go on little trips. As for the management, they did everything very well. There was no problem with scheduling or billing. Everything was good. "

"Spending time with the staff and clients can be fun and stimulating. My daughter volunteers over the summer playing her violin and doing arts and crafts. "

"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."
