Karenderringer 2022-01-17 I had the most incredible tour of Chevy Chase House when looking at senior living options for a family friend. Mary the Sales Director gave me a tour of the building including a studio and 1-bedroom unit (beautiful big windows, great light, modern renovation), the gym and the great room. She also insisted I order from the lunch menu and meet the Chef. As a vegetarian, I was delighted to see a veggie burger on the menu and noticed the food choices appealed to a broad range of dietary preferences. At the end of my tour, Mary handed me the lunch I ordered (covid prevented me from dining onsite) that was packed in an insulated to-go lunch box, along with a side salad, a piece of cake and a water bottle. Honestly, I was ready to move in there myself. There is a Starbucks 1 block away and the gorgeous upper Northwest DC setting makes you feel like you're still part of the DC action while giving residents the services and amenities they may need. This is a no-brainer choice. I visited this facility

Elenore 2021-11-29 My parent had been at CCH for a few years and lived through many changes there including the sale of the property, construction, management changes & great staff turnover. The end of her life there was a nightmare situation for us & though apologies were made by those responsible for the disgraceful performance, our family's loyalty was not appreciated. Some of the staff were truly wonderful and we informed CCH of this. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Semra 2021-11-26 Chevy Chase House was very good. People are friendly. The staff was very informative, very helpful, and they're willing to work with me. I like them. I probably would have gone with them if it had not been for my loss. I looked at one-bedrooms and they were great. I saw a library, a gym, and a dining room. I visited this facility

Ellie 2021-07-07 I think Chevy Chase House is in a great location. I would love to be in a place where that's located. They were lovely and Mary showed me around and couldn't have been any nicer. I met the chef too and was hugely impressed. They have a lot to offer. They also gave me dinner to take home, a delicious corned beef sandwich, and they were very kind. They wrapped it up beautifully and it was in a lovely little carry bag. It was very well done. It's just not the right place for me. I think I want a more independent living place. I visited this facility

Robert 2019-04-23 Chevy Chase House was very good, but they didn't do any skilled nursing activity at all. The living atmosphere was very good, and it's a very nice building. They had a fitness center where they could do physical therapy, a nice dining room, a lot of community areas for people to sit, and organized activities. It's in the city so you can walk in the neighborhood, and they had shuttle services. It was just expensive. The sales staff was very helpful, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very good. They had a cafeteria and the dining room was very nice. It was a very nice facility, very clean, and there's lot of good space for people. I would be very comfortable if my brother were living there. I visited this facility

Mark 2019-02-12 My mother moved into Chevy Chase House. Its clean, modern looking, and the staff is very friendly. The dining area is clean, and the staff is attentive. They had a wine tasting activity, a Christmas party, and something for New Years. They have movie nights and exercise classes that are pretty full. Every day theres something going on. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

JWADC 2018-05-31 The building looks amazing! My aunt used to reside here several years ago (a different owner I believe), and the building has completely changed. I am currently looking for my mother, and she is hoping to move to the community by the end of the summer. The staff was very friendly, and the rooms seem much lighter and roomier than others I have seen. When we visited, the community walking club greeted us, and several others were playing board games in the library. Delicious pastries and snacks were offered in their bistro area, which were really tasty. I was also impressed with the technology package they offered. Looking forward to having mom closer! I visited this facility

Erik J 2018-05-22 Facility is incredible. Under new ownership and management. Building has been completely renovated and has new central air (other facility we visited was window unit) and rooms are mostly huge 1 bedroom units! Was less expensive that small studio units at property down the road. Chef cooked us a spectacular lunch during our tour. Walking distance to everything. Top notch gem and best value in town. I visited this facility

Jean Hoffman 2018-01-10 My mother died in Chevy Chase House after living there for years. It was a moral dilemma whether to move her in her last year, as the care and services were very poor but we feared the change would be disorienting to her as she had dementia. We were able to pay for wonderful private duty nurses who took loving care of mom. Despite many kind front line people, the Ch Ch House service, including maintenance, housekeeping and all important nursing, were not good. I would not recommend Chevy Chase House. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Kim208356 2017-01-07 My grandmother is in Chevy Chase House. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and my grandmother is very happy there. The apartments are very nice. She has a 1-bedroom apartment with a balcony, and it’s big enough for one person. They changed the chef, and the food is much better than it was. They have movies every night. They have food and entertainment. There is an exercise room. They have lectures, tai chi, and a couple of other exercise classes. For every holiday, they have an event where you can bring your family members. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Caring106865250 2015-05-14 I felt that the staff at Chevy Chase House Retirement is caring. My mother's room has a lot of windows, and it is well lit with a lot of daylight. It is big because she has a wheelchair so she could move around. She says that the food is good, and she likes it. The dining room is pleasant as well. It is bright and cheery, and I like it. They do have activities, church services, and French and Spanish classes. I am a friend or relative of a resident
