"I was nervous about finding a place for my mother, but when I found this one, I was so glad I did ! . Not only was my mother well cared for here, but the staff and owner of the facility made me feel very welcome . They were also very helpful in keeping me updated on my mom, who I visited frequently and who was in wonderful hands. They host alot of activities , game nights and they even go out some time to keep the residents busy . If you're looking for a place to call home for a member of your family, I would absolutely recommend this location. Thank you Mrs.Kim !!"

"The Cottages of Perry Hall is always clean. It's individual cottages and there's 16 residents in each cottage. Every month the main room and the hallways are decorated for whatever holiday is that month. They're always changing, and it's always bright, and it's always cheery as far as the atmosphere. The care is very good. If anything happened to him, they'd always be on top of it. He has a balance problem, so he falls, and they've been right there. And if anything happens, they will call and let me know. They have the doctor that comes in, and they have a podiatrist that comes in. They have a beauty salon there where the woman comes in and does hair, and the man trims the beard. They have everything covered. Laundry is done regularly. The food is very good. The caregivers are always very pleasant. They always greet you. I've been there where they come down and check on my husband. The atmosphere is good. They're very well taken care of. They have a fantastic activities director. I've been there when she was doing activities with them in the main area. She's just really good. She has more energy than I ever had. She will have them sitting around in a circle in the main room. They're singing songs, they're moving their arms, and they're moving their legs. She might be doing some memory type of things like tossing them a ball and asking them a question, like what was the thing that you remember, or what was the happiest day in your life. They do cornhole tosses. They have parties. They have a whole bunch of activities, just different activities to get them up and moving and thinking and just keeping them busy, so they're not sitting in their rooms all day long. If the residents don't want to, they don't force them, but they encourage them. They had a crab feast and a Thanksgiving event for the families before Thanksgiving. Relatives were invited to a Thanksgiving dinner. They are having events that include the family and the families are always welcome there."

"I visited Ideal Comfort Assisted Living and toured for assisted living. It's not a good facility. I would never take my father there. The rooms are too small, and there's no privacy. It's not set up for level 3 care, so my father wouldn't have 24-hour coverage. It's not handicap accessible, and the neighborhood is not that great as well, so it just wouldn't be a good fit for him. The person who gave the tour was nice enough. That wasn't the issue; the person was okay. The only suggestion I will make is that I think they need to break down the number of people who are in there, I think they need more privacy and more staff. I think they are understaffed if they're going to offer level 3 care."

"My mother is in Seaton Towson. The director came to the previous rehabilitation center my mom had been in. The LPN used her skilled nursing ability to assess my mother on two occasions, and the second occasion enables my mother to be able to be eligible to move to Seaton Townson. They picked her up. They also had me see a room in advance. They also asked for a very minimal deposit to hold the room. There were two rooms shown and they gave us the rationale for a first floor room versus a second floor room. In her case, we chose a larger room, which is on the second floor. They encouraged her to come out of her room and walk, and she needed to walk due to a lower limb injury. She arrived and everything was ready for her. I needed to replace the bed to be a hospital bed. Everything else, like a mini-refrigerator, brand new, modern room, modern bathroom with a shower and seated area, and bars were all available to her. Occupational therapy and physical therapy come in twice a week. She's also been evaluated for dementia, and there's a follow-up periodically to reevaluate as well. She is receiving meals three times a day in a community area that is very well set up and they don't eat alone. They have people that are selected to sit with and have conversations with. The meals are more of a cafeteria style, but they are much better than where she was. They also have snack time. If she needs to stay in her room for any particular reason or a special diet, they will bring the food to her. She just had her front bridge removed for a new one, so she needed cold and soft food, and she needed that in her room for a while. They do the laundry there, but there is a cost. They provide towels and whatnot. I've given her additional towels as well. Their hours of operation to the public where you can actually get into the facility and have someone pick up the phone is 8:00 until 5:00. When mother has appointments they have free transportation Mondays and Thursdays. They have a beauty area. They have many common spaces. It's an old barn that had been renovated. It's in Maryland, so it has that colonial feeling to it, but it's very bright. Everything is in golds and beautiful light tone browns and off whites. It's very uplifting. They're able to keep it clean. They keep the door locked, but there's always a person to let you in in their glass doors. There are lots of windows in the room and in the whole common space area."

"My brother-in-law was at Symphony Manor for almost 2 years. EVERYDAY he got extraordinary care at every level. This is a place where staff took the time to get to know him (He had had a stroke), found out his needs, and loved him. He made special relationships there and I will forever be grateful for the way that Symphony treated someone I loved. "

"I didn't feel Alma's Grace Assisted Living was a good fit for my mom. The majority of the residents were male. The rooms were satisfactory. The staff was helpful, but I really didn't stay long. It was a quaint house. I didn't have any problems other than I just didn't feel it would be the right fit."

"We toured Charter Senior Living of Towson. I liked the person that did the interview, she was wonderful and a very compassionate person. The location was a little too far for me to travel to visit, but I liked the place and everything it had to offer. They had a variety of doctors available, more than other places did. While most places only have a doctor and a podiatrist, they had many services available. They also had a salon, and they had many different activities to keep the resident busy."

"We toured Care Transitions. The nurse, I think his name was Ryan. He was nice. Everything was clear like all her needs would be met. He was able to answer all of our questions. The room was nice. She was looking into a private room. It's a good space, has a good-sized bathroom, and has a big TV. Things were generally clean. It is an old Baltimore home, so there are still stairs to get in and then there are stairs on the upper levels. So, if she wasn't going to be in the private room, she couldn't stay there because she couldn't do the stairs. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming."

"My friend will move into Serenity Garden Manor. It was nice. The people were friendly. It was clean. It looked like it was well-kept. They had a stair lift. We met the owners, which was nice. The location was good, and the parking was good, too. The two ladies we met were friendly, kind, and patient. The facility was nice, and the rooms were big."

"Heart Homes was small, and it felt comfortable. It was warm and homey. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They had activities. They were playing bingo, and they watch TV. The bedrooms were fine and a decent size. They were clean and had their own bathroom. The dining room was the right size. "
