89 Assisted Living Facilities Near Baltimore County, MD

I liked Lighthouse Senior Living at Hopkins Creek, I thought it was very nice and pleasant. The marketing director gave me a wonderful tour. It seemed a lot bigger to me than it looked from the outside. I liked that they had a couple of different rooms, different types, and styles of rooms. I like this facility better than the other one I toured, but it’s just relative. I thought it has more open spaces in the building itself, and the furnishings were more set up for and conducive for people to gather as a community there, and talk and chat. It’s very clean, very excellent and set up better to me than the other place. It’s funny because I read their reviews online, and I wasn’t as impressed with one of the bad reviews, but I decided to keep an open mind and I like the Lighthouse better. The staff was introduced to me as we went, and a couple of nurses and a couple of other people like the activities director. The activities were listed, there were numerous activities that I could be involved in. It just seemed like it was a more active community. (read less)

From the moment we entered the front door of this beautifully renovated, charming, historic Catonsville home, we felt we were entering the home of a family! It was a cold and snowy February day when we did our “tour”. We were saddened that our elderly father was suffering from dementia that reached a level where he required more help than we could provide. Being a big Catholic family, we now needed a loving place for Dad which would provide the extra care and services that he needs and where we can visit him frequently. We were cheerfully greeted by Linda, with personality plus, who actually stepped outside the door to welcome us, and who has become a dear friend to our Dad and family. We stepped inside to the beautiful living room which has comfy sofas and chairs and a giant TV. It was so clean and smelled of lavender. There is also a nook on the side with a small table for playing games every afternoon and having conversations. We proceeded to the left hallway to see 4 beautifully renovated bedrooms, all neat and tidy. The bathrooms on that side are also renovated to fully accommodate the handicapped residents. On the other side of the house, there are 4 more beautifully appointed bedrooms with a renovated bathroom. The center is the heart of the home, and has a big new kitchen, a dining table set up for lunch with 8 table settings, and the gorgeous fireplace was aglow. It was here that Linda introduced us to Matt Decker, the owner of Waterfalls. With a big smile, a handshake, and his welcoming demeanor, Matt became our refuge. His little Yorkie is his companion. We truly felt like we walked into a Hallmark movie! Matt sat us down at the dining table near the fireplace and let us talk about our Dad and our big family and what Dad’s needs were. We’ll never forget Matt’s response. Matt told us he regretted his memories of his own father in his last days. Matt’s dream was to create a “multigenerational family atmosphere” for elderly residents, and he fulfilled his dream and opened Waterfalls in 2018. Matt told us he had a room available and the trained staff to provide Dad’s needs and help with his ADLs. The rest is history! We had already toured the other bigger facilities in the area and did not like the “hospital atmosphere”. With its small 8 resident house, Waterfalls was the right “family” place for our Dad. Matt’s mother, Doris, is one of the residents, and this speaks to the character and caring nature of Matt and his staff. All of Matt’s staff are skilled caretakers and so friendly, especially Margarita, a brilliant pre-medical student from Ecuador with a heart of gold and is responsible for the residents’ medical needs, and Ivy, an amazing cook from Jamaica who serves up homemade delicious, flavorful food and nutritious meals with a smile and a prayer, and Debbie, the Activities Director, who is full of creative ideas and fun activities, including daily game playing. And of course, Linda, who was first hired in 2018 and brings sunshine and her skilled caretaking to Waterfalls. Matt and his son, Ryan, also cook and their soups and dinners are delicious. It is comforting for our family to know that Matt and a few of his adult children live upstairs in case of an emergency. The Decker family is the best! The love they have for one another spills over to all the residents. It is a pleasure when Ryan, Matt’s son, makes homemade smoothies for their 3 pm snack! Dad is happy, thriving, and “at home” at Waterfalls. His favorite times of the day are breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner! We have come to know all the wonderful staff and residents and we can say, without a doubt, they have truly become our extended family! You can feel the love at Waterfalls. It’s called “Waterfalls” because there are several beautiful, calming waterfalls located throughout the house and decks. Dad especially loves sitting on the big front porch and the deck. Matt is currently working on adding more space to Waterfalls. This home currently has 8 resident rooms. I would rate it a million stars because Waterfalls is really one in a million! (read less)

I recently visited the facility and was very impressed with the owners and staff. They took very special care of the property and residents in their care. Exemplary customer service, their staff was always quick to respond to all the questions I had. Have been looking for a future option for my mother and I think that I have found the very one. Their at home family atmosphere will make her feel right at home. 🥰 (read less)

This facility is exceptionall! The staff works VERY close with us to ensure mom’s care needs are handled. She wasn’t very active, and veryy reluctant to transition into a facility. Now she’s become a social butterfly! The place is beautiful, bright and ALWAYS CLEAN! Activities are always coordinated for Mom. The Nurses and therapist are very sweet. After 2 years, I’m happy to say we’ve made the right choice! (read less)

I like The Cottages of Perry Hall. I like the fact that it was more of a family setting. I didn’t meet everyone, but from what I saw, the staff members seemed nice. They said they had an activity coordinator to set up activities for them. The facility needs updating, but they are in the process of updating and renovating. Everything seemed nice and clean. They just hired a chef, so that should be nice. (read less)

The staff at Dulaney Valley is excellent to work with, and it was a good place. It’s a small group home, and everybody has a roommate except there are two private rooms. They have a nice size dining room; I had been there when they had breakfast and lunch, and it was a very good meals. They had bingo and other stuff. Price is very good as well as the staff.

The staff is caring considerate and kind. The facility was super clean my mom was in love with the home. The Covid precautions had made my family feel extremely safe and comfortable. I would give 10 stars if i could. (read less)

When I visited Glynn Taff Assisted Living Inc., everybody was very friendly, cooperative, and very pleasant. They showed me the dining room where residents would eat. Their menu was very appetizing and was easy to read. I thought the rooms were very small though. That is the reason why my dad did not like it; but for me, it was acceptable. The private room was really nice, and I liked it. The first rooms they showed us were semi private, so he would be sharing a room with another person. It would be very small for two people with only a curtain dividing one person from the other. The facility looked clean and neat. The nursing assistant that showed us around was very nice, pleasant, and very well versed as far as what was going on in the facility. I was very happy with her. (read less)

I went to Woodholme Gardens. It was very nice, and the young man was nice as well. The apartments had a sink. It was a shower with a bed, and then there was the area where she could sit, and where she put her clothing. They had all kinds of games. They told me they had activities where they take them out. They had a van, where they take patients out to the grocery store, and take them to doctor visits. It’s very clean. He showed me a courtyard where they do cookouts, and they do outside activities with the clients. (read less)

We toured Dulaney Valley Assisted Living at Baldwin. They were very good. They had the stairs, and they had the lift chairs. My father likes to wander on his own, so that’s why we were looking for a place that had a room on the one level where he didn’t have to do the stairs. The room was very nice. It was not a huge room, but a very efficient room, like a bed, a nightstand, a dresser, and a window to look out front. It was very nice. It was one of those ones where I visited at lunchtime, and it just smelled amazing. They were a good facility. It was really nice, but they had the stairs. The staff member was very knowledgeable. She explained everything. Whatever they were cooking for lunch, it was good. The people that were there were enjoying it. The other thing was that they weren’t open yet to visit. If you went to visit, you would have to visit them through the door. You could have a door visit, but you couldn’t go inside and visit them. I’m sure it will change in the future, and it’s also winter. But the door that we went it, it was a very nice patio, and it kind of had like a farm setting behind it, so that was nice too.

It was my first time to CSLC to visit my Mom; it was a surprise for her birthday! As I rounded the bend onto the property, a calm euphoria enveloped me: the beautiful trees and foliage, the sun shining through onto the quaint, welcoming surroundings. They have a great security system in place. Upon entering, I felt like I was walking into a friend’s home, so warm and inviting with aesthetic modern décor. I was greeted by residents and staff, and they directed me to my Mom’s room. The door was open and I spied my brother standing, arranging flowers, and he turned and nodded, and I greeted my Mom, so surprised was she. I had a great visit over that weekend! I was able to meet some of the wonderful and attentive staff. Yes, these individuals are my Mom’s caretakers, however, it became clear that they are much more. I thank everyone for all they do to make sure Mom has everything she needs. I give a shout-out to Keke, Tia, Megan, Tavonne, and Marcus and Mary. My family is so grateful to CSLC. Mom is truly blessed to be surrounded by patient, compassionate, empathetic and caring people. Thank you so much. (read less)

Lifespring was an old house that had been redone. The facilities were not as attractive as the others, but it was clean and taken care of and the people seemed content and relatively satisfied. The person who showed us around was very nice and very pleasant and seemed to get along with the people who were there. (read less)

My visit at Paradise Assisted Living was fine. They accept Medicaid. The staff gave me paper to fill out, but I haven’t gone back with it, and we’re still looking for other options. We liked it, and we thought was very nice. We liked the fact that it has a nice big porch all the way around it. The only thing I didn’t like was there’s no gate. It’s always monitored and everything, but that was the only thing that kind of concerned us. The rest of it we like. They have a nice room. The outdoor was very pretty. They had nice gardens, and they had a place where the residents can plant things in the garden. The staff was very nice, very competent, and warm. Everything was nice and, you know, everybody seemed helpful in a combined way to you. So, you know, it’s nice, very nice, and clean. It wasn’t modern, and we only saw one room. The communal area was small. They had a little room for a library, or where they watch TV, but it was very small. (read less)
