The Best Independent Living Communities in Harford County, MD

"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! "

"I toured the Heritage at Augsburg. I like the inside of the community. I met four staff members, and all of them were very courteous, kind, and professional. They walked me around, and they answered my questions. I was very happy with them. We looked at the cafeteria through the door, but we did not go in. They didn't offer any food, but they said they had a food plan. I think it's $350 a month for you to eat and use the cafeteria. Outside, the grass was well cut, and everything was clean. It was easy to park, and it was easy to find, too. The rooms were very clean. I used their restrooms twice, and they were very clean. The waiting room was quiet and neat. If you didn't have a mask for COVID, they had a whole box for you. The receptionist was very courteous. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. They have a weight room, an auditorium, and a theater. The rooms looked nice. They're a good size. I was not able to look at a two-bedroom apartment, but they have a one-bedroom apartment."

"I toured Juniper Village at Newark. I liked the rooms because they were nice, big, and spacious, and they allowed dogs. The bathroom was handicapped-accessible, so it was very big, and I wouldn't have to climb over a tub. The staff was friendly and nice. You can get the main dish they're serving, or you have a list of alternates, which I liked, but I had the main dish, shrimp, which was very good. The facility was very clean. I would change a couple of things, but I know that's a problem everywhere, so I'm not worrying about that. I like the size of the rooms. I could get a bedroom that fit my queen-sized bed with two dressers and a chair without a problem. In the living room, you could have a chair, a sofa and a TV stand. They have a lot of closet space, which some of the others didn't have."

"I chose Brightview Avondell because it's the only one in Hartford County that has an independent living facility. There's an indoor pool, a gym, and physical therapy onsite. There's assisted living if you need it. All your meals are provided. The only thing out-of-pocket that you have is your telephone. The staff I met there were very informative and easy to work with. I tried the food, and it was excellent."

"We will be living in Brightview Perry Hall. It offered the amenities that were attractive to my husband and I. The staff and the residents were friendly, outgoing, and engaging. The facility was immaculate. The location was great. The things that we looked for were all there. There are a lot of social engagements. They go to different plays and activities within the community, movies and musicals, and games. We visited like 10 different facilities in that area and we were so impressed. We did senior-oriented condominiums and senior living communities. We didn't have a meal there, but they did offer soup and it was excellent. It was a clam seafood soup and it wasn't part of a meal. It was just a part of saying thank you."

"I found out about Chapel Springs Apartments because I have a friend that lives there. The amenities are very good. They have a gym and fitness room. They have a billiard room. The seats in the lobby are very nice. They have security where you can't come in and let somebody let you in. That's one of the things that turned me on, with the security. You can't just walk into their building. Someone has to know that you're coming, lives in the building or somebody in the office knows that you're coming. Like, maybe for something that needs to be taken care of in the building, but no one can just walk in. My friend has been there for years and she had been trying to get me to come to visit her, and I finally went to see her, I think it was in January, or early February. I liked the way that you have parking. They have reserved parking places for the residents. The appliances are provided. You have a refrigerator, oven range, and microwave. So you don't need to bring any appliances of your own. You just move in with your other furniture. The staff that I talked to, two of them, and customer service-wise, were very professional, and very informational. She cooks her own meals. I know they have a room, like, if you wanted to have a family affair or something, or a celebration of some kind. I think you have access to that. Very clean. Decorative. When you walk in, you don't think you're walking into senior citizen housing. The fragrance was wonderful. It was just good. When I saw they have flowers in the hallways, it was like they were trying to make it a home for you. It's a very good substitute for it because I didn't feel like I was in a senior citizen housing apartment building. I felt like I was going to visit somebody younger than me."

"I toured Glen Meadows Retirement Community. It was very, very nice. It was gorgeous inside, and they made the rooms look like new before each resident moved in. At that time, you actually had to purchase the apartments. It was a three-room apartment consisting of a bedroom, a living room, and a small kitchenette. Then they could move to continuing care from there. The only bad thing about it was that my father is legally blind, and he would have to make his way down this long hall to an elevator, which he could not do because he could not see. However, the place was lovely. The dining room even looked like a restaurant, with all the napkins on the table and you order what you want. The grounds were also lovely. The lady who I dealt with, she was also very lovely. It just wasn't a good fit for my dad."

"I went to Oak Crest. It seems to have been a very friendly and professionally run establishment. It had various activities for senior citizens, like there's a hairdresser, a barbershop, and a doctor's clinic. It was very pleasant. I would give it a 5-star rating because the location was nice and because of the friendliness and professionalism of the people who worked there. They have a program for young people to work there, and after they finish working there, they give the young people a scholarship. We had a beautiful dinner there, and it was satisfactory. They had the young people who did the serving. The dining area was really nice. It was a home that you would want to be involved in."

"I applied for the apartment in Evergreen Senior Apartments. I paid the $25 application fee and no one has gotten back to me. I've left several messages and I filed an application, but the only answer I got was that the staff was very busy, and she hasn't been able to get back to me. It's already going to be the end of the year, and I would like to start the year in my own place. The first lady I met was very nice. They don't give food there. The facility was excellent and very clean. They had a fireplace, a nice welcoming room, a kitchen, and a laundry room. They had a room for people to socialize. Another reason why I liked it was, it was near a lot of places where I can go shopping and the hospital was near."

"I went to see Stella Maris in Lutherville-Timonium to look at their memory care for my mother. It's an extremely lovely facility, but unlike the other places I have visited, which are still in heavily residential areas and, even to some extent, not far from somewhat commercial areas, this place is kind of in the woods. It's a big campus, and the other things around it are these other big private school campuses and estates like horse farms. The facility is gorgeous. One of the great things about them is that they accept Medicaid, and they have a long-term managed memory care facility. Again, it feels like it is oriented first towards assisted living and second to managed memory care, but it was still really nice. Comparing it to other facilities is like going from being on a cruise ship to being on someone's 150-foot private yacht. It was that nice and just had that next-level vibe. They come highly recommended by friends of mine, too, and they all spoke very highly of the facility. They're just really expensive, but they accept Medicaid, so if you run out of money, they will transition your parents or loved ones onto Medicaid. If you're there, they're going to keep you, so if you can meet the initial financial hurdle, it is a place that could be worth it for your family."

"From my observation, I liked everything I saw in Victoria Park At North East. I didn't see anything that I wasn't pleased with. The apartments were spacious. They had everything that I would need. They were bright and very clean. The carpets were clean. For a single person living alone, it fits my needs. The staff were very nice. They have laundry facilities, mail facilities, an exercise room, and a library. They have a computer set-up and Wi-Fi service. I was pleased with the place. They have a new person in charge, and she was more than accommodating. She made an appointment with us. We sat, we talked, and we could ask questions. She was very accommodating. It was very clean with no foul odors."

"My mom was at Park View at Rosedale. It was very inviting and very clean. I don't remember ever seeing any staff though. I only saw residents, but it was nice and comfy. They had a laundromat and a beauty salon. They had a library area and a community room right off the entrance where you come in. They allowed pets, too. I saw a few people with dogs. They had different things like potluck, games, and outings. They also had frequent transportation to stores like Walmart. They sent around a newsletter stating activities for a month. The value for money was pretty good."
