Assisted Living Communities in Potomac, MD

"Sunrise at Fox Hill is very nice. It has everything that I think my mom would like. They have a greenhouse, and she loves flowers. They have a nice dining room. There are different floors and different options for eating at any time of the day. They have activities. They have a very friendly staff. It is very clean and well-kept. There are a lot of different models you can choose from. That was the one that stood out to me. It's very beautiful. I looked at the menu. It was a nice and well-balanced meal, and they had different options, so that was very good. The staff who showed me around was very informative and very nice. She had a lot of examples of her own family and what they needed and how she would recommend it even to our own family. She was very informative, very nice, and friendly to us."

"Bartholomew House is a very loving, caring, comfortable, and intimate place because it is small. It is a little bit more like a larger home, and it smells very clean. The food is good, and it has a great caring staff. They really feel that it is more than their job, and they put their heart and soul into the residents. It doesn't have the extra amenities that some people might like, but they are extra caring with the residents which is the most important thing to me. The staff just goes above and beyond what you would expect. They communicate with me, and they reach out to me. They take the lead in my dad's care very proactively. You would not have to worry about your loved one there. "

"The Terraces At Tuckerman Lane are for people that need assisted living. But for what it was, that place was extremely clean and beautiful. When I was there, they were having happy hour, and they offered wine and popcorn or something like that. That place was very nice, but the rooms were extremely small. I didn't see anything like an exercise room, and I don't know if those people are capable. They didn't look like functioning adults as they did at the other place. The staff were extremely nice. Even though they knew that I wasn't interested, they insisted on the tour. I realized it wasn't what I was looking for, but they were very courteous and spent a lot of time with me."

"I really like Sunrise of Rockville. Their accommodation for the memory care is very nice and they have pretty much the same amenities as other places. What I like most about this place is that the location is excellent and their facilities were really nice. I saw the dining area, it's very nice."

"We toured it. It was lovely. I wish I could live there. It was so beautiful. I thought the facility was great. They did have a special at that time for how much it would cost, which was also great. We learned that with the level of care that they have, they do not put railings on the bed. My father-in-law must have railings on the bed because he cannot move or walk, but he could fall out of bed. The staff was lovely and informative. The structure and cleanliness were excellent. It's only less than five years old. The layout was very nice for someone who can take care of themselves, but if they needed more assistance, the doors seemed to be kind of far away from someone in a bed calling for help, but I'm sure that they've had other measurements, but we just didn't go into it."

"Sunrise of Bethesda is very open and fairly new. There is lots of light. A very friendly atmosphere. However, there are not that many grounds. There's a small patio area and kind of a border, but there's no extensive grounds or landscaping. The staff who toured us was very friendly, candid, and very nice. As we made our decisions and had questions, she was very willing to talk to us. We had lunch and it was fine, but I don't have extensive knowledge. It was just an ordinary lunch, it was nothing spectacular, but it was fine. For activities, I observed exercise in the morning, and I observed the activities director with a group, but we only stayed a few minutes. Everyone looked engaged."

"It is a very nice facility. It's located in downtown Bethesda. The space felt smaller compared to the other place because it's a city facility, but it's very well-appointed. The common areas were spacious, but it didn't feel as spacious as the other place. I kind of expected that because it was a city setting. I really, really like the person who toured me. She was excellent. The rooms were very nice and very bright. They were good size and well-appointed. I really like the facility, but I felt the outdoor space was a little limited compared to other places that I saw. I did not try the food, but the dining room was very nice."

"Beautiful, very new facility with art room, movie theater, gym, pub, formal living room with a grand piano, restaurant-style dining room and well-appointed rooms. Staff is attentive and friendly—from the receptionists to the nurses to the waiters and waitresses. The activities director is a standout. She plans fun events, including art sessions, music performances, theme parties, and daily exercises. Most importantly, she really connects with everyone on a personal level. The staff is excellent at communicating with the family, too. My father-in-law enjoyed the last year of his life because had this wonderful place. He was nervous to leave his home, but the experience at Colvin Run was excellent from the moment he arrived, and he immediately felt at home. We are eternally grateful for the experience."

"I toured Modena Reserve at Kensington. It was beautiful. It was open and light. I liked the restaurant set up for the dining. It was very pleasant. They had a lot of activities, and the rooms were nice. Everything was great. The staff was wonderful, very pleasant, and very helpful. They had a lot of lectures. They had music, physical therapy, and other therapies in the building."

"My dad moved to An An Assisted Living II. Where he is now is a wonderful place. They take care of the residents there. I go and visit whenever, whenever I want to is fine. They keep you updated on what's going on. So I have nothing bad to say about it. The staff, I rate them a five, however, there is a language barrier. It's a house and there are five residents there. My dad is on a peg feeding only. They do have activities, but I think the youngest resident there is 90, so they don't use it so much."

"My husband moved to Sunrise of McLean. He needs additional help with so many things. He is actually on their third floor, which is primarily memory care. He has Parkinson's, so he has a little bit of dementia, and he gets excellent care up there. They watch him all the time. They make sure that he doesn't try to get up unassisted, and they make sure that he gets assistance getting up and going into the bathroom and helping with his showers. There are plenty of attendants, so there is always somebody around watching what everyone is doing. That's one of the reasons I like it, that there are enough attendants. Some of the other facilities, I felt, were lacking in that department. He could probably be in just assisted living, should he not need all the assistance and extra care. It bugs him sometimes because he said he has to switch dinner partners frequently. He was at one table, and he said nobody there knew their names. He has to be rotated around a little bit so that he can have a conversation at the meal. Today in their activity area, they had someone come in who plays the piano and sings, so there was entertainment for an hour and a half. That's done at least once a week. They have live entertainment that comes in the afternoon. They have excellent food, much better than the rehab facilities, and he's very pleased with it. They vary their menus so they're not having the same thing every single week. I was there today for lunch, and there was corn soup, a green salad, a piece of pizza, and southwestern beans with a square of chocolate cake with whipped cream on the top for dessert. The facility is very well laid out. There are plenty of places where the family can gather outside of the room and visit. They also have a private dining room if you would like to reserve it for a family birthday or something. For activities, they have quite a few things. Some of them, my husband just isn't interested in, but that's his problem and not the facility's. Twice a week, they have what they call a scenic ride, and you can put your name down for the bus, and you go out for a ride for about half an hour to 40 minutes. It's a nice little break, and they vary the route. It's just a nice scenic ride, especially this time of the year when all the flowers are out in the greenery. I usually go with him on those, so I know for a fact. There are plenty of things to do. There's painting and bingo. They even have travelogues where you can go and visit a country on TV. They have a lot of different things like that, even though my husband doesn't choose to go and do them. Everyone seems very happy there, and all of the staff seem to know everyone by name. I've seen them when people are coming down from the main dining room to the other floors. The memory care and assisted living's dining room and patio are actually on their floor, but everyone else goes down to a big central dining room to eat. When they come in, they're greeted by the staff by their names. They seem to know everybody's name. They even know my name, my daughter's name, and my son-in-law's name when we come to visit. That's a big thing there. They try to learn everybody's names very quickly."

"I've been living in Aberdeen House III for five years. There are a lot of things I like. I'm very independent here. I'm independent as far as dressing, bathing, and eating. It's the most upscale assisted living house I have ever lived in. It's beautiful. It has huge windows in every room. I'm downstairs, but the downstairs is on the same level as the side yard, so we have windows, too. I have my own door. I take the wheelchair out and there's Metro access. It's just very pretty, the landscape, the trees. We have a backyard with stones, a deck, furniture, and a wall. It's very nice. I don't expect any place to be quite like this. There's a deck in the backyard and a deck in the side yard. This year I don't have any, but in previous years I had five herbs and then the year before that I had a tomato plant outdoors and I took care of that. We don't have activities here except we do tai-chi for 5 minutes a day. The caregiver turns on YouTube of tai-chi, which is good. I do my own activities, I do my own exercise. I'm on the iPad about half of every day. It's very upscale. It's beautiful inside and beautiful outside."

"I visited Goddard Comfort Homes, and they seemed wonderful. I didn't go because I couldn't afford it, though it would have been well worth it if I had the money. It's lovely. The grounds were nice. The accessibility was good. My sister is in a wheelchair, and I always look at that. It was roomy, nicely decorated, and homey. The executive director was wonderful. They have a nice front porch and back area to get out into nature, which is nice, and that was certainly something I was looking at because my sister likes to get outside whenever possible."
