The Best Independent Living Communities in Montgomery County, MD

"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."

"I visited the independent living community of Hillside Senior Apartments. I like the cleanliness of it. I thought it was a very clean place. I like the people who work there because they are very helpful. It was also in a nice area, and I like that."

"My aunt really enjoys the community. They accommodated a quick move in and were very helpful throughout a difficult and emotional process moving her from her long-time home. She walks, attends events, goes on outings, and enjoys the food. She has recently increased her care and we're happy. Would recommend."

"Kentlands Manor is a great place, but it's beyond my price level. The community was gorgeous. The people were very nice and friendly. The property was gorgeous. The apartment was very nice. The only thing I didn't like was the price. I would recommend it to anybody who can afford it. The staff members were excellent. The building was very clean, inside and out. The layout was good. It was very adequate."

"Sunrise at Montgomery Village was very upscale and the memory care was secure and very nice. Maintenance and upkeep were wonderful. The staff was professional and courteous. It's a beautiful facility."

"Visionary Square was beautiful, but it didn't feel personal. It was too strict. I like to have the feeling that I feel protected, and I didn't feel that from there. The room was beautiful, and my granddaughter loved it, but to fit in a setting like that, it's gonna cost me money. If you want to study outside your room or if you don't want people to come into your room, you could sit out in the hallway. It was clean. The staff was honest enough to say that they have all types of people. I could be next to a mentally ill person. I respected that because most people only want to tell you the best of everything, and then you get in and find it's not like that. It's a very nice district. There are stores everywhere. They said they didn't offer much. I asked them if they had a gym room and things like that. She said no, but they were thinking about doing something like that or having different vendors come in."

"I like the community assistance that The Residences at Thomas Circle would be able to offer. We looked at several arrangements, and the studio apartment seemed best for my friend. I liked the flexibility of it, being able to add assistance if needed. The staff was very friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable. The facility was very clean. It was suitable for someone who needed independent living. There were no odors. It was great. The size of the room was quite appropriate for a senior who would be staying in a studio independently. The assisting team that was there was very welcoming. It was a great tour."

"My 86 year old mother was at Chesterbrook Residences for 9 month before she died peacefully in her sleep from heart problems. She loved Chesterbrook Residences, her apartment, the people there who became her friends and the many diverse activities. I am so glad we found Chesterbrook Residences and we are only sorry we had not found it sooner!"

"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."
