Assisted Living Communities in Hagerstown, MD

"My mom moved in at Harmony at Martinsburg about a week ago. It is clean and friendly. Her room is a single room, but it's certainly adequate. And it seems clean and well organized. She seemed satisfied being there. Her room's location is convenient. She's close to the nurse's station and she's not too far from the front entrance."

"My mom stayed here and died here. I can't tell you how comforting, supportive, responsive and friendly the staff has been through the whole process. They have made everything so much easier- even forwarding her mail months after the fact and helping with all of the details I needed help with after she died. I'm SO grateful for them and recommend them 900 percent! They gave me peace of mind during a really dark time. "

"I toured Paramount Senior Living at Chambersburg. It's an absolutely beautiful setting. It's in the mountains. The grounds were spacious, wooded, and well-kept. The independent living area was very nice. The apartments there are large and all one-bedroom. They're very spacious. The staff who accommodated us was the manager of the facility, and she was informative, positive, and very helpful. The dining area for independent living was small but very clean. They were in the process of cooking dinner, which smelled very good. They had bingo activities. They had trips to the local theaters. I can't remember everything that was on the activity list, but it was a very full activity from what I remember. If I could convince my mother to move in there today, I would."

"My father has been in Spring Arbor of Frederick for three years now. His wife was in memory care there, and he's in the assisted living. We have been very happy with them. They just had a change of management, so it was a little touch-and-go there for a couple of weeks when they were trying to bring in new staff and new management. Overall, we were pretty pleased. They were good with the memory care for my stepmom. The staff members are usually very helpful and nice, and they have activities and transportation when he has to go to doctors' appointments. It's just been tough because of COVID, and they've just started allowing visits in the state of Maryland. They even have a visiting alpaca that comes once a month. The rooms are very roomy and very nice, and the housekeeping is pretty good. He has a little button that he can push when he needs help. We've been happy with them. He wasn't there for about a month and a half recently because he was in nursing rehab, but he's back now, and he's wheelchair bound just from being so weak from the pneumonia. They set up PT. We're very pleased with them. They've been good. We've had a few glitches, which I think was mainly because of management changing, but it turned out OK. He doesn't like the food, but I thought it was really good. The place is very nice, easy to get to, everything's spacious, and it's very fresh and clean. We really liked it; it's just far away from us. They have good things going on all the time. Compared to the other ones we've been looking at, their price is very fair, and you get good value for your money. I think they have a good staff-to-resident ratio. You couldn't visit them as much, but they try to do FaceTime and window visits. My stepmom had dementia, so she was in memory care, and they did a great job over there."

"We got my mother in here where her sister was; that’s why we decided to go there. The rooms were big and open; it’s good to get the walkers through. They got shows coming in, people singing, and bingo. The grounds were nice, and she seems to like it. "

"Not being familiar with assisted living facilities, I was still extremely disappointed with this one. None of the staff members spoke clear English, and were not friendly by any means. We were not greeted for quite some time upon arrival and staff members continued to walk by us and said nothing. I did not get the feeling that they were efficient or organized in any way, and most staff members were not able to answer even the simplest of questions. When questioned about how they handled their medications, if a nurse/doctor was present at all, if their meals were personalized for clients (diabetes, etc), they seemed to fumble their answers or did not know the answers. We spoke with a few clients who lived there at the time we were visiting and all of them had very negative things to say about the facility and its' workers. Some of their complaints was that they refused to turn up the heat, the food was always cold, they were only allowed to bathe twice a week, they could not understand what the staff members were saying, etc. After going back a few times to visit our client, the owner accused us of not paying for her services and threatened to kick out our client. We had also heard from others in the facility that the owner has kicked people out before; she put them in a taxi cab with their items and sent them to the local shelter. I went to the facility approximately 6 times, each time being a terrible experience. We worked with the department of social services to get our client placed somewhere else and filed a formal complaint about the facility. "

"My mother moved into Homewood at Williamsport. It's excellent, we are extremely happy, Mother is happy there, and I would recommend it to anyone. It's clean, my mother is well-cared for, and the staff is kind, caring, and attentive. The room is private, and they have private or shared. For activities they have a lot of one-on-one and they have a lot of group activities with distancing. They have a gym, pool, hair salon, they have outings, and they do a multitude of things that she can participate in if COVID wasn't a factor."

"We got my loved one into Elisabeth House. They provide three meals a day and snacks in between. I can also send her Popeye's for the oven and things like that. I had lunch there, and the food was good. Residents can request food stuff, and they cook everything in the kitchen. It's a little house with a dining room and kitchen area, and everybody sits down and eats dinner together. One of the big selling points is that the facility is very clean. They keep everything nice. The hallways have been widened, and the bathrooms have been made handicapped accessible. There are 10 residents at a time, so it's pretty small. It's private, and the same people work there every day, which I like. It's a great place; I'm super happy with it. They offer activities such as crafts and arts, and a musician comes in once or twice a month. They also go on outings sometimes. The staff is great - I love them. They're all very nice and helpful. The price is within our range, which is great. We also give our loved one a little bit extra every month so that she can get the things she needs. Overall, it's exactly what we were looking for."

"I did go to Twin Oaks - Williamsport Retirement Village, and that facility was nice, but they don't have memory care. They were very professional, very clean, and smelled nice, and the rooms were spacious. The staff was very friendly and very helpful."

"My mom was a resident for 2 years and the care she received in the twilight of her life was excellent. The rooms were clean and the staff treated her (and us) like family. The medical staff was attentive to her needs and would notify me of any changes. Just don't have one negative thing to say about them."

"My mother lives at Fahrney Keedy. She has a wonderful, spacious 2 bedroom cottage that she loves. Staff have been wonderful, accommodating, and helpful. Due to COVID, things are restricted right now but she is kept up to date with newsletters and memos on a regular basis. The community drops off treats often. There is a gazebo, community garden, community center, gym available for all residents to use. The Independent Living Residents Association meets for ice cream socials, movie night, trips and outing into the community, and other events. There is a gift shop in the main building where items can be purchased. The home she lives in is maintenance free. Fahrney Keedy offers a beauty/barber shop where residents can get their hair done or trim with reasonable rates. The residents get together for book club, trips to Walmart, Antietam Battlefield, Red Bird Diner, and many other places. The price to live here is just right. The food is delicious and can be delivered to her home. Accommodations can typically be met. Staff are very helpful and friendly. You can tell they genuinely care. I'm glad Mom is at Fahrney Keedy!

"I loved Charlotte Home. But they can't take a diabetic on a sliding scale because they have less than 16 people and, with Maryland law, they don’t have to have an RN on duty, so there is no one to monitor me. The place was awesome. I went in, and it was like walking into a home, they were cooking roast beef for dinner, and the people were friendly. There was more than 1 place you could eat, you could tell that the residents were very happy, and the lawn outside was immaculate. I sat down and had a wonderful conversation with the director, and she was very informative."

"I found a place for my wife. The place is called the Leland of Laurel Run. It's very affordable. It's rather small. It's a privately-owned place. It's a really nice place. They have large private rooms, small private rooms, and then they have what they call shared private rooms in which they share a bathroom. They have all kinds of activities and stuff. The staff are all very friendly. They have a TV and air conditioning in the room. They have a dresser, a recliner, and a bed. They have a bathroom. The shared private one is the one where two rooms share one bathroom. It's an old hotel and they turned it into a care facility. They have meals and everything. They do the people's laundry for them. They have an in-house doctor. They pretty much take care of them right there. They don't allow them outside unless there is somebody with them. It seems like they're very down-to-earth people who genuinely care about people. The person who took me around was great. She was very friendly, down-to-earth, and caring. Maureen is the manager there and she takes care of your applications and stuff. She was very friendly and very nice, too. Everybody was very nice there. It's an older building, but everything is really nice, and they keep it up. They're going to start my wife around the regular section and then see how she does."
