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

Elaine250741 2016-06-28 We stayed for lunch at Chevy Chase, and the food was very tasty. The staff was very accommodating and very nice. The place had old décor, but the rooms were a nice size; the studio was huge and well lit and had a kitchen. They told us they were ready to put some new carpet in, update the lighting, and update some furniture. The price was reasonable. I visited this facility

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

SamuelBell 2014-03-03 My father went to live at Chevy Chase House last year. We were impressed at first. But after a few weeks, we noticed some troubling trends developing. His assisted living was unpredictable. His pills were not being administered on time and he was late getting to doctor appointments. I also noticed that the residential areas were not being cleaned regularly. For the money he is paying to stay there----that should never be a problem. We were also shocked to find that the maintenance there is atrocious! During one of the coldest winters, there were gaps around the air conditioning units that caused him to freeze. This should never happen in a senior living facility. Also, noticed that some of the staff are extremely rude to residents. Overall, I rank the staff there from average to low. They need more training in how to have compassion for seniors. I am a friend or relative of resident

Warren3 2013-12-27 We have already selected a place. My aunt likes Chevy Chase House. It's a great place. The staff was very friendly when we visited. The guests were very nice as well. We ate lunch there twice and the food was very good. They did have many activities like arts and crafts, bingo, card games, etc. You name it, they have it. I would recommend this place.

Caring410 2012-09-06 We got a nice tour of Chevy Chase. They have independent and assisted living. The there are 99% assisted. My mother is completely mobile and most of the people there are not mobile. It was older, a very old building, but somewhat renovated. They have a lot of apartments. It's quite expensive, but it didn't have as many amenities. The new wing had central air-conditioning, but the big main old building has window air-conditioners. It doesn't have parking. I think they might valet park your car for you, but I think most people there don't have a car from what I saw. They were not really independent living. Most of them were not too mobile on their own, they had wheelchairs or walkers. I visited this facility

A Clinical Social Worker 2011-08-18 This facility, which offers both independent living and assisted living, is located in a pretty stone building in the prime area of Chevy Chase. There are lots of coffee shops and diverse restaurants nearby for both residents and visitors. Because there is lots nearby to walk to, it is easy for residents to maintain their independence if they have it. The place appeals the most to those who want to stay in the area and who have friends and family nearby"”or those who enter as a couple. The residents seem to engage with one another easily and to be very social. It's an older, established residence community, appointed with somewhat dated furniture from the 70s and 80s. The residents have their own living quarters, which are quite spacious. A possible benefit is they have Care Share that allows residents to split the costs of care they need"”and that often allows residents to stay out of nursing facilities and to stay as independent as possible for as long as possible. There are also nurses on staff who are adequate, but don't seem to go the extra mile. There's also a dining area that offers basic food"”and it is possible for residents to have it delivered to their rooms if they wish. Care and housing at Chevy Chase House is very expensive, but you don't get much for the money. You pay for the ZIP code. I visited this facility
