Independent Living Communities in Landover, MD

"I went to House of Lebanon, and I spoke with the property manager who gave me a tour. They were still working on the unit that I looked at. She gave me the application and everything to fill out. There were two more in the building that they were working on. She said they would be available for showing like mid-September, because I told her that I wanted to see those as well before making a final decision. They had very nice, big, very spacious rooms. They had new cabinets and new appliances. The lady was very nice. I highly recommend her. It was very warm and very inviting. I felt really at home when I went there. I said I could really see myself here, so I really pray that it goes well, because I really like it. The apartments have everything in there. You have a full kitchen and a dishwasher. They have washers and dryers. They have a multi-purpose room you could use for entertaining or something, which is real big. They have parking and a patio area to sit out, like a little atrium. There's a lot of things about it I like. It's not very decorative. It's an old school they renovated, but it's clean."

"I toured Golden Rule Plaza. I like that it was convenient to a lot of places that I could get to, like close to my church and grocery shopping. Also, the place was very nice. It was up-to-date. Everybody was friendly and knowledgeable. The structure is very sturdy and clean. The layout was very nice, and everything was very roomy. I felt like it was kind of bright and cheery."

"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."

"I went to Victory Crossing in Silver Spring and spoke with the manager. They said you have to have a specific income that I don't have. I was able to tour their independent living community, and I like it. They were very nice and new. I think they built it in 2017. The staff was also very nice. They really want to give the spot to me, so it's not their fault. They also showed me the apartment and explained how everything works."

"I toured The Sanctuary, a Mount Jezreel Senior Housing Community, and I like it. It is really good. It is nice and large. I like the floors, the bathroom, and the shower. I like everything. They put a new microwave in there. They have a lot of outdoor space. There is a huge parking lot that goes all the way around the building. It's got a lot of wood and stuff. It's really, really nice around there. I had an interview with them, and I paid the $35 application fee, and I was supposed to be getting a call back from them. It is like a private apartment, and so I guess you buy your own groceries and cook your own food. However, I'm pretty sure if you need some food that they will look out for you. The staff member who gave the tour was very respectful and very thorough with what he showed me."

"My name is Karen, and I’ve been a resident at Chevy Chase House since September 13, 2024. I moved to Washington, D.C., in 2016 from New York City and lived just south of this vibrant neighborhood, which reminds me a bit of Manhattan. The transition from living independently in my apartment overlooking Rock Creek Park to joining a senior community was made so much smoother thanks to the many fascinating residents here—people from diverse backgrounds and career paths who bring life and perspective to every conversation. There are endless opportunities to develop new interests and expand on previous pursuits through the thoughtful programs and activities offered. The staff—from healthcare providers and management to the dining room team—is exceptionally professional, kind, and always willing to go above and beyond for residents. Chevy Chase House is ideally located in a walkable neighborhood surrounded by coffee shops, boutiques, grocery stores, banks, restaurants, salons, a CVS, the D.C. Public Library, and even a historic movie theater that shows independent and international films. Everyone here maintains such a positive and uplifting attitude. While there’s no such thing as a perfect world, I can truly say I’m very happy to call Chevy Chase House my home."

"I visited The Lodge at Marlton, an independent living community. The person I met was very kind, polite, and patient. I called them saying I was running late and she said it was fine and they would be waiting for me. I was specifically interested in a 2-bedroom and 2-bath apartment, and she took me to the ones available to see. I noticed that there was a wheelchair sitting in the room and the shelves on the closet were lowered to accommodate the person who had lived there who was in a wheelchair. The room was clean and had a hardwood floor. She said this one is more experimental and that not all the rooms have hardwood floors and most of them have carpets. She showed me the amenities, too. They had an exercise room and a large sitting area for the residents to come and chat. It's an established place, built in 2009. Within walking distance, very close to it, were all kinds of shops and a little strip mall area. They have a major grocery store, too, and if you walk a little bit further, there is a McDonald's. It was quite convenient. If you don't have transportation then it would still be okay because you have so many things right there within walking distance. They didn't have a swimming pool or a jacuzzi. They do have a mailing room where your packages are brought in, which a lot of people are now doing like the Amazon thing so it's very convenient. There's no one walking around patrolling but they have a security camera. You also have 24-hour maintenance available. It's a community for 62 and over. They do not provide any kind of assistance so you have to be independent. That's not to say you couldn't have someone come in to assist your loved one if need be, but they don't provide that service and that's something people need to know. The carpet in the hallway needs to be replaced. There was no mention of food, so they probably don't provide any kind of food. You can rent a washer and dryer for $37 a month, or you can bring your own in. They pay for the water but you have to pay for electricity and everything else there uses electricity. You have to walk your trash down, too. Each floor has a trash room where you have a chute and just dump your bags down. You have to take your recyclables down, I think, to the first floor. Overall, they need to spruce up the place a little bit. It did look aged and could use some upgrades."

"We visited Cogir of Old Town, Alexandria, and toured for assisted living. The tour was fine, and it was a nice building. The lady was very nice and told us everything that we needed to know. It was right there on the corner, and once we got inside, it was very nice. It had a very nice appearance and interior, and it was well laid out. They showed us the layout and what they do there. I kinda like it a little bit because, in their system, they had a gentleman who was the coordinator of the activities. He showed us all the games, and that's one of the things that I like about it. They played checkers, and they had puzzles and stuff like that, so there were a lot of things to do. They had everything that you needed, like a salon, where you could do your nails and hair. They had a nice place where you could walk. They also showed us the outside patio, and it was very nice. The person who gave us the tour was at the door when we came in, and asked us if we wanted refreshments or if there was anything we wanted before she started her tour. After the tour was over, she asked if there were any questions that we needed her to answer, and she answered them. We didn't eat, but they showed us the dining area, which is very clean and very well-kept."

"I toured Modena Reserve at Kensington. It was beautiful. It was open and light. I liked the restaurant set up for the dining. It was very pleasant. They had a lot of activities, and the rooms were nice. Everything was great. The staff was wonderful, very pleasant, and very helpful. They had a lot of lectures. They had music, physical therapy, and other therapies in the building."

"The thing I like about Wilshire Estates Gracious Retirement Living is that they seem to have a lot of activities. They have three meals a day, so they have a refrigerator. I don't think they have an oven or a stove top because you're not supposed to be cooking, and you're supposed to go down to the dining room. The staff who gave the tour was very good. The building is pretty new. They can sign up for a shuttle bus to go to the local pool, for example."
