Adult Day Care Communities in Olney, MD

"My mother was a daycare member before COVID, and suffers from dementia. During the COVID isolation, she went downhill fast, due to isolation, and it was necessary to place her in an assisted living facility. She was very happy with the day program, so I figured the assisted living would be a good fit, and it has been. Her dementia progress has definitely slowed due to the activities they provide, she's put on the weight she'd lost during her isolation, and after an expected adjustment period, has been very happy there. Her room is smaller than at some of the facilities I've seen, but there is still plenty of space for her things (I believe more might be confusing to her), and there is a great deal of open area for socialization. The staff are attentive to her individual needs, and are as accommodating to the family when we come to visit or take her out as COVID restrictions allow. As a health care worker, I am very pleased with the strict guidelines they follow to keep the vulnerable residents healthy. As she cannot leave without an escort, for safety reasons, the facility provides a secure, beautiful garden courtyard where she can go on her own. This place might not be a perfect fit for some, but with my mother's dementia, it provides her with excellent security (no one can go in or out without a staff member being present), good opportunities for socialization, and staff that work with her to make sure she's utilizing as much of her facilities as she is able.

"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. "

"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 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 "

"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."

"My mother goes to Leewood for respite. I have nothing but good things to say about them! They take care of my mom, she loves being with them. She's always happy to see everyone and her friends! She participates in activities, she eats very well there and she has fun! My mother is a stroke patient, she is unable to speak many words as well as use her right arm. They are always assisting her and making her comfortable! Amy- the director, always goes beyond the call of duty. She runs a wonderful place, and it shows by the caring nature of her staff! When my mother is in their care, I literally have nothing to worry about! They are our second family, and I am truly blessed to have them in our lives. "

"My mother was going to Crescent Ridge Adult Day Care at one time before her dementia got bad. I saw it maybe two years ago. It's a very active facility. They had a little dog staying there, and they had crafts. They used to pick her up in the morning and bring her back home in the evening. It was real good. The food was fine. They were talking, reading the newspaper, playing games, dancing, and playing music. They kept them active."

"My mom, who is a stroke patient has been coming to PACE since August of 2014. From the beginning, our PACE family has helped us out tremendously with my mom's recovery! She has improved so much with in the past 3 years, with their care. This group not only cares for its participants, it also cares for the caregivers as well! I am truly blessed that there are in our lives!"

"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."

"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."
