Assisted Living Communities in Westminster, MD

"I went to Atrium Village. It was nice and clean. The staff were nice and pleasant. They gave me all kinds of information that they thought best suited my relative being a Vietnam vet, so that was really nice. As a matter of fact, the coordinator still calls me. She asked me if I was still looking for my relative, so she was really nice."

"When I first drove up to the nursing home, I was not impressed with the architecture and the deplorable conditions of the outside. As soon as I went inside the door to the facility I was greeted by am older woman who asked whom I wanted to see. The inside living conditions weren't much better than the outside looked, and I was not very happy about that. Though I did not like the appearance of the building, I found that the staff was extremely friendly with my grandfather and tried to talk with him as much as possible. He was not always the nicest person, but I know he appreciated the company of the nurses. He would always ask them to get him a beer, and the nurse would bring him a soda which he thought was beer. In the end, I found that this place gave a bad impression from the outside, but had a nice group of people working for them. "

Angel's Touch is a unique assisted living community for senior adults. As we eventually come to see, aging can be a very difficult process -- humbling even the strongest people. Seeing relatives and friends struggle with this experience, we were motivated to open our home to seniors to help them better deal with the aging process. Our goal is to make aging as pleasant as possible, providing a comfortable family setting, a range of fun activities, and care and support wherever it is needed. If you are looking for a community that offers a warm, safe and inviting environment, then Angel's Touch is the place for you. Whether it's assisted living or memory care, we can help you.

"My mother was a resident of another facility. We are wondering why we didn't move her here first! We love Lindsay and Mary...the food has been wonderful and so has the staff. So much better than where she was before. We love it here. "

"My husband has been here since November. They do not let the people just lay around. They are busy with them all day and discourage them from staying in their private rooms because they want them out amongst people. No matter how slow or weak they are, they try to encourage them to participate in activities at their level. My husband was starting to wander, but this one has a lockdown area. You can't get out without a code. They have four or five people there at all times, and they’re right on the residents' toes. If the staff see a problem, they’re right there handling it. They’re really good. As for the private room, because my husband is on hospice and needs a special bed, the hospice provided a hospital bed. There is a nightstand and a lamp in the room; I had to provide everything else. I have not eaten there, but they have spoon-fed my husband because he cannot handle the utensils. I’m glad I put him in assisted living versus a nursing home. My impression of a nursing home is that they would just lay there and waste away, and my husband is not doing that there. The administration and nursing staff all know you by your first name when you come in and know the patients by their first names, too. They get to know their patients. "

"Allow me to take this opportunity to thank you for the fine care of my mother received during the 3 ½ years she resided at Encore. While no elder facility is entirely perfect and obviously “there’s no place like home”, I was confident that she was being treated well and with respect, which brought peace of mind to myself and her entire family. And the creativity and energy of the Activities staff, as well as the beautiful facility, made living there infinitely more pleasant for her! The entire staff is to be commended for their conduct; however, I feel I need to mention several staff members who stand out as being particularly good during my mother’s final weeks. Pat (day nurse) and Nina (evening/weekend nurse) were highly professional and attentive in their care for my mother, as well as being responsive to any concerns of the family. And Salin and Colleen were truly exceptional in the competent care and personal kindness shown toward my mother during the past several years, but especially at the end of her life. These women provided comfort, both physical and emotional, during a very difficult period and I am eternally grateful to each of them. Please extend my thanks to the administration and staff. I have spoken highly of our experience with Encore to others in the community and shall continue to do so. I am so thankful that Encore was available to my mother following her stroke in 2010-the location and services offered have been ideal. Best wishes for your continued success. "

"My sister was in Woodholme Gardens for a little over a year. It was a lovely place. She was a little hesitant at first when she moved there. It took her about a couple of weeks to get acclimated, and then she blossomed there. She was happy, and she loved it. She loved the food. They have a variety, and a lot of them are very healthy. The dining room is spectacular. The residents feel like they're in a nice restaurant when they go for their meals. It's really lovely. Their activities director has changed, and they have some really good activities. They had the oriole bird out recently, and they had a beekeeper last week to bring bees out and give a talk on bees. The staff that interacted with her, the aides and the techs, were absolutely wonderful. I had to move her recently to the smallest apartment, and she wasn't happy about that, but even though it was small, it was nice and very clean. It smells fresh there all the time. I've never encountered a bad smell. There is a beauty salon, a garden area with raised beds, and a lovely patio. They also have out front these wonderful rocking chairs with nice pads on them, and a lot of the residents go out there and sit and rock and enjoy themselves. Some of them do their little puzzles, read, or just chat. They can walk up and down the sidewalk there. The food does not look institutional at all. They even focused on food presentation to make it look beautiful. They lost one of their cooks, though, so I'm hoping that they get someone in who's just as meticulous with the food. Their facilities are pretty good, and they have a nice common area and a worship room."

"Sunrise was very nice and very clean. It wasn’t as large as others, but the grounds were very well-kept and nicely landscaped. It had a great, big wrap-around front porch that had a bunch of rocking chairs on it where you could go out and sit, which I thought was nice. "

"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."

"I love this place!!! After my Dad passed away I saw that my mothers dementia escalated, and I knew that it was time to take the next step.I did honor my mom's request to stay in her house with aides for about a year, but I was very much aware of the social isolation that ensued. My brother and I went on a tour around the Pikesville area. It was important that the facility be somewhat nearby as I knew that we would be the kind of sons that would want to see her almost daily. I also knew that I didn't want some big institutional type setting..I had remembered that someone once told me that generally speaking any faith-based hospital or senior living facility often has a certain compassion and kindness inherent to it. When we walked out of Tudor Heights, I said to my brother"this is the place" for mom. I didn't require that it be Kosher food based, but that turned out to be a bonus. The staff knows every resident even if they don't work that residents floor. The residents all know each other, and there are no "mile long" walks to get anywhere. I also noticed in the other places I saw that often the residents were just sitting around doing nothing. The activities directors here are non-stop, always going from one thing to the next. Sometimes I can't even get a few minutes alone with Mom !!! We are in our 4th year here, and as I still say to my brother, "best decision we ever made.""

"My family member has been here for >2.5 years. The nurses do an excellent job of communicating important details that I need to be aware of. The wholesome, vegetarian meals are served family style so the residents all get to sit together. The beautiful country setting with large porches to sit outside are also welcome especially with the visiting restrictions from our pandemic. But I’m super happy that they’ve kept everyone safe. The rooms are nice size and with private toilets. Prior to the pandemic, there were many activities and visiting opportunities and I’d often stay and participate."

"I found HeartLands Senior Living Village in the Internet. The people were cordial and they were on time when we visited. The lady who showed us around was very polite and seemed to make sure there were activities for the residents. They can sit outside in the grass area and that was nice. They also had security so you didn't have to worry of their wandering. Overall, the experience was good. "

"My biggest fear of moving my mother into an assisted living home was that people would not take care of her the way I would. I was scared that the same level of attention and compassion me or my wife would give to my mom, I would not find any place else. All the things I was afraid of, I’m not afraid of anymore. Moving my mother into Kemia’s home has lessened a form of grief I’ve been experiencing. The care from Kemia and her staff is amazing. They feel like family. This is the happiest my mom has been in a long time. I go to bed with less worry. "
