Independent Living Communities in Upper Marlboro, MD

"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 visited the independent living community of Visionary Square in Washington. I like that they had a shopping center right there for everything you wanted. They have grocery stores and some carry-outs. It's also near the subway station. My bank is right there, too. I can look out my window and see it along with the grocery store and the carry-out place, so it has things close by that would have been perfect for me. I can go out and walk right to each one of them with no problem, but I also have a car, and I don't want anything to happen to my car in the middle of the night because things happen in DC. I went inside, and it was small, but it was nice. It was also clean, so it was okay. I could have lived there. The only thing that turned me off was the parking. They provide parking spaces, but the few spots get filled up. I get off work at 1 in the morning, so coming home that late, everybody's already home. That means I'm not going to get a good parking space, so it was not good for me. The people were a little rude at the rental office. They were doing something else, and I kind of caught them off guard because I got there early. The person there told the maintenance guy to take me up and give me a tour of the apartment. The person who gave the tour was really polite and was very helpful. He stopped doing what he was doing because he was asked to take me up there for the tour. The apartment was small, but it was livable, and I could have managed with it. There was also no trash lying around. They just need to improve the parking. I'm looking for a building where I can park in a garage. Unfortunately, they don't offer that."

"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."

"The Landing Alexandria is very beautiful. It's a new building with great views of the river and the airplanes landing at the airport. I had food, and it was excellent. Everything seemed very spruced up. They kept the memory care people quite involved in all sorts of activities. I saw a lot of activities, and we had lunch with them. The living spaces were very beautiful. They're bigger than the other two places just because I think they're newer or they're built that way. The general areas were very luxurious with nice views. It's very pleasant. The staff was fantastic. My father was not ready to make a move like that, but they came to my parents' house, sat down with them, assessed them informally, and gave us lots of advice. They were spectacular. They're very patient. The food I tried was lovely. It was fresh and very good."

"Harmony at Waldorf was very nice. The building was awesome and very well done. The outside was well-manicured. It had very nice parking areas and everything was just on point. The staff who toured me around was very nice, very cooperative, very helpful, and very informative. The dining area was very nice. It wasn't just a simple dining area. It was very nicely put together. They had a lot of amenities. They had transportation, a swimming pool, and community trips."

"We toured here. I chose that because it has quite a few assisted living amenities and is all included in the overall price, which is very good. The staff was excellent. They answered all the questions and even a few more that we asked. They took us to all sorts of studios and one-room apartments. They answered any questions we had about adjusting any elements of the room, like moving a refrigerator around to another location. They were very personable and very helpful. All in all, it was a very good tour, and they included Sunday brunch and it was very nice."

"My mother moved into Chevy Chase House. It’s clean, modern looking, and the staff is very friendly. The dining area is clean, and the staff is attentive. They had a wine tasting activity, a Christmas party, and something for New Years. They have movie nights and exercise classes that are pretty full. Every day there’s something going on."

"I love everything about Victory Crossing Senior Apartments. It was immaculate. I love the resources available, too. The apartments were large, and I love the fact that each apartment had a washer and dryer. I went with a friend who lived there; she explored it with me. They have a bus that takes you to the shopping center. They provide weekly activities in-house and some field trips. They had a party room and an area where you could meet privately with an insurance agent or someone you didn't want to come up in your apartment. Even though I'm not there yet, I would love to be selected. They don't cook for you, but they provide an area where you can have a party and provide food for your guests if that's what you desire. I've got my heart set on that."

They gave me a pie to bring home. They have a gym and a movie theater, and I enjoyed that. I got to watch a little bit of a movie."
