"I would have already chosen Merritt Station II Senior Apartments, but they said I make $2,000 too much to be there. Everything about the tour was great and the place was beautiful. They're immaculate because they're brand new. It's like being in a high-end hotel. My only problem is how they come up with their decision on the cut-off amount for income. It's ridiculous, in reality, unless some people aren't up and up about it. I'm being upfront and 100% honest about how much I make but they said I'm $2,000 a year too much. I wonder how much that is broken down weekly or maybe I have to retire in order to get a place there. I also think they shouldn't go by gross income because one still has to pay taxes and insurance. I pay $600-$700 in benefits so that knocks my paycheck down. The actual check I get would have qualified after that but because they do it after taxes then I don't qualify. Another thing that I don't understand is that, while I was taking the tour of the place, I saw people with vehicles going in and out of there and I wondered how they maintain a car properly while doing it right with insurance. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know how they came up with these figures. The room I wanted was a 1-bedroom, I did not want anything elaborate. They have bingo and things like that which attracted me to the place. I realize they have a cut off but to me, each situation should be evaluated a little bit further. Other than that, based on the building, the set-up, and the apartments, they are great. The staff was also great."

"The staff at Lodge at Marlton was very knowledgeable, very cooperative, very understanding, and very willing to help me with the transition for my mom. It is close to where I live now, so it is convenient for me to visit. From what I understand, they have a lot of activities in-house, and they provide shuttle services to places outside. They do day trips as well. In-house, the people do crafts and they also take the seniors on trips which I thought was very nice. The dining area setup was very clean, very bright, and very well organized. You have to have a key to get in, and you have to be buzzed in and escorted into the place. You can't just walk in from the street. "

"I went to Edens Homes. It was a location that I wanted. I grew up near there. It was clean. My sister liked it. Everything looked fine. I met two of the staff members there, and they were very nice. It's neat but there were some abandoned homes on the plot. Nevertheless, I was given all the information that I needed, and they were very helpful in answering all my questions. I was kind of in a rush because I had a doctor's appointment, but I was able to see everything that I needed."

"I saw the independent living community of The Lewis Apartments in Suitland. I like the room, the indoor activities, and the area. The staff members were very helpful and very knowledgeable. The place was very nicely done, and it's a very brand new building. They have a library, a gym, a theater room, and a washroom or a laundry room, as well."

"I toured The Waterfalls of Catonsville. It was a very good experience. The facility is beautiful. The staff who walked me through were extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. It's a historic home that has been converted. The rooms are individual with common bathrooms, and then some shared living spaces. I would give it a very high rating for someone who needs a very structured memory care facility. It's a convenient location."

"I like The Belnor Senior Residences very much. I like the amenities, the property highlights, and even the units. The kitchen was open and spacious. I like the floor plan, but they don't have enough closet space. The other features as far as the property is concerned, the laundry space and the fact that they have a community garden and greenhouse, I liked everything about it, even the reserved parking for the residents to make sure that we have enough parking. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The tour was very thorough. My questions were answered because there were just two features that I was interested in: the kitchen and the closets. You have to prepare your own meals."

"Evergreens at Columbia Town Center had a swimming pool and an eating facility. The apartments were extremely nice. It had a washer and dryer in the units and a full kitchen. They offer a system where you have to check in every morning just to say "Hello. I'm up./I'm awake, I'm moving around." and I kind of like that. They had a lot of activities there and a lot of things going on. They have a food court across the street, in the Columbia Mall. I liked the place. I think each apartment has a balcony. The lady there was very, very nice and very informative. They don't have an entrance fee, which is good. You pay $3,000 or something there upfront before you move in. Everything is prorated in that first month. It was just a little out of my budget because once I did the calculation, I would have pretty much $500 left to work with and I have other bills, a car, medicines, and $500 is not going to get it. Having $500 today is like having a nickel in your hand and nothing costs a penny anymore. It was very nice, though."

"This facility is exceptionall! The staff works VERY close with us to ensure mom's care needs are handled. She wasn't very active, and veryy reluctant to transition into a facility. Now she's become a social butterfly! The place is beautiful, bright and ALWAYS CLEAN! Activities are always coordinated for Mom. The Nurses and therapist are very sweet. After 2 years, I'm happy to say we've made the right choice! "

"Victory Crossing was a nice place. I liked it. The rooms were nice, clean, roomy, and really comfortable. I liked the design. The kitchens were nice, too. It looked like the community was kept much better than the other place we saw. I liked Victory Crossing because you have a washer and dryer in your apartment. I like the convenience of it. Also they have people who come in and and entertain, and they had a bus that takes you on trips."

"The rooms are very spacious! I am looking for a 1 bedroom for just myself. I don’t want a lot of space, but rooms are great sizes. The area has almost everything you need shopping, dinning, church, entertainment, home improvement supplies,metro and parking. At the time I visited the building was quiet, I’m sure there are times when it’s not. But I live inside my apartment. That doesn’t bother me. I like the apartment. I’m still looking but this may be it!!! Take the tour!!!"
