Independent Living Communities in Temple Hills, MD

"I toured the House of Lebanon. It's a nice apartment building with nice people. The staff who assisted me was good, but she was not always there. They don't have a common area. It's an apartment, and it's clean and nice."

"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 mother moved to Cogir of West End Alexandria's memory care. It's a very beautiful community. The attendance of the nurses is very helpful, and the support staff is very supportive. The director is very welcoming and very friendly. The buck stops with him. He takes action immediately if you need something. I haven't had a complaint, but in my experience of trying to get what my mother needed, I can see that he's very receptive and quick to implement what it was that she needed. The staff he gave me to deal with was also very receptive and very professional. I'm very pleased with them. My mother's room is good. I've seen the food and the menu, and they look very healthy. They have activity after activity. Every hour, they're changing and doing something with the people. They take field trips, art sessions, and music sessions. They do let the residents watch TV, but it's not a situation where they're sitting in front of the TV all day. When they watch TV, it's usually a movie in the evening. They don't have the time to watch TV during the day because they're moving them around to different activities."

"I have been living here at The Jefferson for two and a half years now. What I like the most is the level of activities here: Go to an advanced exercise class at 10:00 a.m., go to yoga at 11:15., go to 'bring me' games at 1:00, and go to politics and issues discussion at 2:30. If it's a Monday, it's the women's cocktail party and if it's Wednesday, it's the men's cocktail party. There's live entertainment multiple times during the week of supremely good quality. There are visits to the National Gallery with art docents. There's going to the opera and going to Kennedy Center for performances. The activity is constant, and it offers everything. Therefore, there's a very high level of physical, intellectual, and cultural stimulation. The only drawback is that it's two older towers, they're over 30 years old and have become very expensive. The staff is superb. They're like family. And the food is quite good. We have a wonderful chef. It's good food; it's healthy food. Regarding facilities, they just did a lot of updating on the main floor where our living room is and where our performance areas are. They have updated the pool area and the gym. So over the last year, they have done quite a bit of updating. It's also conveniently located. If you're mobile, you can walk to whatever you need. There's an abundance of restaurants and you have supermarkets within walking distance, but they also take you once a week to all of these."

"Resilient Care Assisted Living was very clean and very organized. They had the menu up of what they would feed the residents. The staff was very nice, very pleasant, and very welcoming. The manager owner herself is a registered nurse. She and her husband own it together. They also have another manager on staff, who's also a registered nurse and I like that fact, and the fact that they want to be involved and they want to know all the information. They keep you involved. I met other residents and they seemed very pleasant. They seemed like they loved being there. They call their place home. If one of the residents can go and come as he pleases, he just has to be back in by a certain time, just let them know where he's going. I like the fact that they keep track of everybody and they let you know everything that's going on. They encourage families to always come and visit. It was very clean. They had ramps throughout. The few little steps they had, they had a chair lift for those steps to be able to get residents up and down the steps. The staff showed me the bathroom areas, and they were very clean and sanitized. She had sanitization products all around to keep the property nice, clean, and sanitized."

"We toured Harmony at Enterprise. It's very quiet and clean. Nakia was extremely helpful, outgoing, friendly, and knowledgeable about the independent living system. The dining area was very nice, restaurant-style, and the facility was like a cross between a hotel and a resort."

Enhancing Senior's Quality of Life, ultimately, the services we provide are designed to enhance the quality of life seniors in communities throughout Laurel, Maryland and Washington D.C. enjoy.

The services we offer at Elyon are a valuable resource people can draw on to ensure the seniors in their lives are being taken care of properly.

We have the caring, compassionate and experienced medical and non-medical staff with the skills necessary to help seniors comfortably meet their daily needs. Just give us a call and we can show you how easy and affordable it is to have us provide your elderly loved-one the care they need on a daily basis to be safe and happy.

"I visited Harmony at Waldorf and toured their independent living. It was set up in a way that the first floor is independent living, and I think the second and third floors are assisted living. They showed me all of the things that the residents have access to. The person who gave the tour was having an interaction with the residents as we went. I don't remember the other person's name, but she was a physical therapist and she was in the elevator with us. I would give a high rating for both of them. The other staff members were very welcoming, and the facility was very clean on the inside and outside. The interaction I saw between the residents and the staff was very friendly. They were prepared for me and gave me a lot of information so it was very professional. I saw certain places where the residents would visit like the hair salon, the church, and the workout room. I saw two of the rooms and both of them were very clean. It was also obvious where the resident's furniture could fit in or not fit in. It was a very clear setup. It wasn't too much, but it showed where you could add or not have enough room for your own furniture."

"Chevy Chase House was quite nice. Everything was good and I was well taken care of during my tour. The staff was very good and very helpful. The apartments were fine. Everybody was very friendly."

"I found the Paragon Assisted Living Potomac House Communities for my father. It's a group home. He moved in and he loves it -- the best place he's ever lived. This was perfect for him. The staff is great, my father feels very special there, it's very small, only eight residents, so it's very individualized. It's like they really care. He has the same, consistent people all the time. They have a chef who comes in every day and prepares the food. It's a brand-new facility, it's not even a year old. It's well-maintained. They clean the room every day. They have nice, big, open hallways. They have minimal activities, and they could probably do better for people who have the ability to do stuff. They're a great alternative to a bigger facility."

"I wanted to move to The Willows. I spoke to the resident manager, and she took me on a tour. I loved the facilities. They had a washer and dryer in each apartment and a media room for the residents. They had a library, a game room, a mini theater to watch movies, beauty salon, and barbershop. They had it all. "
