Independent Living Communities in Baltimore, MD

"I moved into Heritage at Augsburg. It was nice when I visited. It was much cheaper than some of the ones I had looked at or wanted to move into. I was looking for a maid service or cleaning service, and they had that. They do a monthly cleaning service, but it's a deep clean, and meals are nice. Everybody has been fantastic. Anything I need or request, I get. It's clean and neat, and they are renovating some of its areas. So, I don't see it hindering anything, such as carpets and stuff, in what they were doing, but it's nice. The food is available, and it's delicious. They had two snowballs, and I haven't been to any activities, but I've seen the people, and they seem content, satisfied, and happy with it."

"I toured Merritt Station Apartments. It was lovely. It was clean and friendly. The floor plan was excellent and perfect for my needs. They have a gym. There's a shopping mall right across the street from it, so that's pretty good. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. It's a new building."

"Waterfalls of Catonsville is our Dad’s home and has been since July 2019. It is a small and cozy community in a beautiful wooded area of Catonsville, Md. The owner, his family and all of the folks who work there are kind and caring and do anything they can to help our Dad. If you are searching for an assisted living home, check it out! You will not be disappointed. Individual rooms and you can bring things from home. All food is homemade and all residents come to meals and share the table and meal together. Dad is happy here! "

"I visited Alta, and it was very good. The staff was very personable, they took me around, and showed me the grounds and everything. It was very nice, but it was too expensive for me, and the price goes up every year. The apartments were a very nice size, they seemed bright, and homey. The people I met were very friendly, they had a choir there, and a pool."

"We visited HeartLands Village at Elliot City. The rooms were fine. The marketing person who showed us around was very, very helpful and nice. It’s a beautiful facility with very friendly people. "

"Utopia Caring Assisted Living is a well manicured, clean, safe home environment for your love ones. The owner is very helpful and caring. He is focused on meeting clients needs and establishing an effective plan for each patient. The caregivers and medical team go beyond the call of duty to address all of the clients needs. They are proactive, great communicators and try to meet each client where they are and help maintain their livelihood. This assisted living has good meal options that it’s specific to each person dietary and health management needs. The home has the safe at home feeling and not like an assistant living placement. This has helped my father. My father was in poor health with hospitalizations. My father was placed in home in June of 2023 . With the excellent care with the caregivers and home care he is improving with a diabetic wound and overall doing a little better. My father actually calls it home with joy. Thanks Utopia Care. Keep up the awesome work. Sincerely, Tiffany Stancil Daughter of a Patient."

"I went to look at The Hamlet at Queenstown. The facility was well-run. The staff was very courteous, friendly, and accommodating. The amenities and the facilities were very nice. If my mom only needed assisted living, it's a nice place. The kitchen was very clean. Nobody was expecting me to come, but the facility was extremely clean."

"My dad moved into Evergreens at Columbia Town Center. The facility is very well kept up. There are some younger, older people. Everyone's very friendly. There are lots of good common spaces and activities. There's a pool, a hot tub, and grounds outside for you to sit and hang out. There's also a grill, so there are things to do when people come to visit. The staff is fantastic so far. They are very responsive. There is no dining area. The community organized bingo nights. They have music, movies, and water aerobics. It was very reasonably priced. The other thing that's worth noting is that it's right in Columbia Town Center, so there's a lot of good stuff nearby and attractions."

"I am thankful every day for Elternhaus. The first time I visited, one of my impressions as a nurse was that I would like to work there. When you walk in the door, you sense love and respect. I had already visited many places trying to find a place for my 60 year old husband with Alzheimers. I left each one with a feeling of despair. Elternhaus focuses on the right things for its residents; kindness, patience, acceptance and love. It is in a rural setting, beautiful and peaceful. There are 10 acres to walk in and enjoy the views of nearby sheep and horses. Elternhaus is a family. It is unique. My interactions with the staff are always positive. I regard them with the utmost respect for the work that they do with so much love. They go above and beyond in so many ways. There is a separate house in the back of the property for people who are more independent but need some assistance. It is warm and comfortable. The meals are healthy and homemade. In the summer, residents work in raised beds to help grow flowers and vegetables. There are bee hives and residents can stroll around the property. Individuals living there come to the main house for activities. "

"My mother in law has been in care with this Access Home Care. They have taken excellent care of her. The home is always clean and the staff is very friendly.. They have taken excellent care of her. I would recommend them for elderly care."

"We will be moving my grandmother into Wilshire Estates Gracious Retirement Living. We chose it because it offered the most services at the best price. They have a very friendly staff. I don't think we ate a full meal there, but they gave us a parting gift; it was very nice. Everything is pretty new. They have a movie theater, a fire pit, a gaming room, and a library. They have an upstairs deck area where they could go outside and maybe have some socializing. The other thing that I really like is they built the facility so that they could have businesses that cater to their residents. They do have nursing in there. Let's say some residents need to make sure that they take their medicine; they have that built in, and it's separate from them. That resident would have a contract with them for that phase. The fact that they had that foresight in their planning, I thought was really nice. They could have it on staff basically in the facility. If a resident wanted that, they could get it (in addition to Wilshire). It's there, they don't have to go out. They don't have to have someone not cleared coming into the place, especially with Covid. Wilshire is all encompassing. They go on trips. They have meals, and they provided the most services for my grandma."
