Assisted Living Communities in Nottingham, MD

"I visited Lighthouse Senior Living at Hopkins Creek and toured for memory care. I met with the person who does the tours, and we talked about what kind of programs they had. We discussed the difference between assisted living and managed memory care, what kind of activities they do for the managed memory program, and what their activities are to help the memory care residents because they need a different kind of help. We talked about rooms, room management, security and safety, and on-site staff presence. We talked about things like the nurse's hours and how often a doctor comes in. We talked about their compliance with Maryland state regulations and the every 45-day evaluations of managed memory care residents. We also talked about how they handle emergencies. Part of the reason that we're going through this is that my mother recently broke her hip, so even with a 24/7 care staff, at this point, it's not enough for her. I want her to have more structure around it. We then did a tour of the facility and a tour of the rooms. We went over the differences between how they manage the relationship between their assisted living and the managed memory care space. We talked about how much of their managed memory team is dedicated to just those folks, as opposed to moving back and forth between the programs, and how much of their staff for assisted living are trained in case of issues with someone in managed memory care. We also talked about dollars and cents. They have a model based on very clearly defined levels, and there were four of them. In a couple of the other places I visited, it felt like the charges could vary quite widely for managed memory care, even from month to month. With Lighthouse, it didn't feel that way, so it was quite good. They were very comprehensive, they were very nice, and the staff had good interactions with the residents, so it seemed like a very pleasant place. The staff who gave the tour was also very good, very polite, very pleasant, and very clear and knowledgeable."

I was a volunteer at the maples in Towson and I have seen form example of how well they treat the residents their. The home is very clean and well kept, also the residents are never lonely because the staff always has something to do for them. The residents at the maples in Towson are a very close knit group of people and they all look out for each other. Their are many other volunteers that come in and talk, do crafts,and eat with the residents. The staff their is very nice and helpful and will assist any resident with their needs.

"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."

"We like this facility. We like the size of the rooms. They have a living room and a bedroom. We like the ambiance of the place. When we walked in, everybody was friendly. My dad is a veteran and they have a wall with all the veterans in the facility, and that was pretty cool too. Definitely this facility would be our first choice for my dad. I know they have different kinds of exercises that my dad would like. I like also that they have a community area where people can come down. Every day they make sure that they have something the residents can attend. "

"I toured About That Life Assisted Living. I didn't go with anything else. I went because of the location and I liked the facility and it was very clean. The program, she ran it down to me, the things that my cousin would be doing, doctor's appointments, eating, taking his medication. If we want to put him out and he wants to go to daycare, he can. I chose that one because the lady was very professional and the house was nice."

"My husband stayed at Inspirations Memory Care of Lutherville for about a month. I was very pleased with it. They were very friendly, and they gave me any information I needed. When I would call them they would say, "Do you want to talk to him?" and they would take the phone right to him so I could speak with him. He seemed to have adjusted pretty well. His appetite was very poor, but I know they tried to fix him things he liked. The community was very small but very clean, and it seemed homey. It didn't seem like they were going into a facility. It was comfortable. I was not allowed to go inside because of COVID. The facilities are very adequate, too."

"When we were looking for the best place in Baltimore for our mother, everyone - professionals and family friends recommended Symphony Manor and they were exactly right. It's a remarkable place. It happens to be lovely, with cheerful rooms, a welcoming atmosphere and good food - but what makes it unique is the remarkable staff. Everyone is so caring dealing with our mother at this new time of life. They also handle us, the family with patience and generosity. It is not an easy decision to move a loved one out of their home, but Symphony Manor made us immediately feel it was the right choice. "

"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. "

"My brother is in a unique situation. He had a debilitating stroke when he was younger, now at only 55, his health was in decline and he needed assisted living. The staff at Viva are so vibrant and joyful. They've treated my brother with so much respect and encouragement. They want him to get better in hopes that he may regain some independence - and it's working! They won't let him quit. This level of care goes beyond what is simply required. These are incredible humans who want the best for the people in their care. Dana the Medical Technician, Patrice and Daija the Resident Care Aides are the best."

"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 tour at Serenity Garden Manor was very nice. Gail was very knowledgeable, very helpful, and she knew a lot about what she was talking about. She kind of answered the questions that I had before I had them. The place was very neat and clean. She said that they do activities, but I didn't see anything going on when I was there. She's very kind to her residents. She showed me a room, I saw the resident looking at the TV."

"Mabel's House Assisted Living was very clean, but they did not allow cats in their facility. It was just a big house with bedrooms that you share. The dining area was just a very large eating area. The people seemed very friendly. They all smiled and said hi to me. The person that did the tour was very friendly and nice. They weren't doing any kind of activities. They had a TV on and only one resident was watching it."
