Independent Living Communities in Silver Spring, MD

"I toured Maplewood Park Place for independent living, and the staff gave us an excellent tour. She took us into one of the bedrooms that I'm interested in, and we didn't have anything negative to say about that. Overall, the place was excellent and the gal who gave us the tour was great and very, very friendly. They have a sunroom and a 1-bedroom, and some of the rooms had a den. We were there on a Saturday at lunchtime, so there weren't many activities going on but we saw a lot of the residents coming out for lunch. The gal taking us around always would introduce us to them. In terms of amenities, they have everything and they offer everything. They have a gym, and they have various trips you can take where you just sign up on the sheet, and she mentioned to us that they have three meals a day if you choose. The staff that I met were all very pleasant."

"Resident Review for Chevy Chase House I want to take a moment to share how much I appreciate all the wonderful programs planned and carried out here at Chevy Chase House. The activities reflect a wide variety of interests and bring fresh energy to our community—whether it’s music and ice cream socials, educational programs, or special events that bring everyone together. Just as important is the personal care and attention given to residents. I’m especially grateful for the thoughtful advice and open conversations whenever I’ve had questions or ideas—both personal and program-related. On a personal note, those small gestures, like a friendly wave in the dining room or a warm welcome at the start of a program, meant so much to me when I was still adjusting. Thank you for always listening to us, valuing our input, and making life here feel engaging and connected—from the popcorn socials to the hors d’oeuvres gatherings and everything in between. With appreciation, Norma"

"I went to Victory Court Senior Apartments. It was very nice. The woman there was very pleasant. It was a nice visit. The general appearance is very clean and very quiet. Everything was just very spotless. I had a chance to meet one or two of the residents. They looked very content, as to be expected, slightly bored, but it was nice. The ladies in the office were very friendly and very informative. Most of the units have a kitchen, whether it's a small kitchen or a larger kitchen for the two-or three-bedrooms. They have a common area where they have get-togethers. The rooms are very simple. There are small islands in the kitchens. For the most part, very clean, very modern facilities. When you get to the two- and three-bedroom units, I think you can request that they have a washer and dryer. The amenities are really nice. Everything is very convenient. "

"We toured it. It was lovely. I wish I could live there. It was so beautiful. I thought the facility was great. They did have a special at that time for how much it would cost, which was also great. We learned that with the level of care that they have, they do not put railings on the bed. My father-in-law must have railings on the bed because he cannot move or walk, but he could fall out of bed. The staff was lovely and informative. The structure and cleanliness were excellent. It's only less than five years old. The layout was very nice for someone who can take care of themselves, but if they needed more assistance, the doors seemed to be kind of far away from someone in a bed calling for help, but I'm sure that they've had other measurements, but we just didn't go into it."

"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 toured Hillside Senior Apartments, which is wonderful. They have apartments available, but they are very tiny. I really liked that development because utilities are included. It was just too small. I couldn't even imagine putting a dining room table in the area. It was really nice that utilities were included. It was only $30 a month for my pets, but they didn't have a washer and dryer in the units. It was just a laundry room. They have a lot of the same amenities. They had somebody teaching an exercise class, and that ended. They're trying to redo it again. I guess re-sign the contract or something. At the moment, they're still working on getting things going. I didn't know how long that stuff would be, like events off campus. They didn't have any of that going on yet, but other than that, it was a really nice place. The staff member was very knowledgeable. She'd only been there like nine months, but she was excellent. She showed us some apartments and the same kind of stuff."

"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."
