Independent Living Communities in Upper Marlboro, MD

"Access Care was an answer to my prayer. I am so thankful for this assistive living facility. Loretta, the owner of the home, and Rose, who works in the home, give nothing short of excellent service all around. The staff truly cares about the residents. My mother, who is 97, moved into this home March, 2020, the beginning of COVID 19. They were successful with keeping everyone free of the virus. Questions and request are answered and addressed quickly and the environment is clean and safe. The lines of communication are always open. I would absolutely recommend this facility."

"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 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."

"The Landing Alexandria is like a first class hotel, fine food , wonderful staff, lovely atmosphere and interesting people to meet perfect location at Potomac Yard area of Alexandria"

"I like Cogir of Old Town, Alexandria. They have the same types of amenities. I was looking for what would be a good fit for my brother. He is a veteran, and he would want to talk to other men and that kind of thing, and it was good. It was very nice. Their apartments have microwaves and mini fridges. They have a good amount of storage. They have call buttons. They have a theater area and sitting areas on each floor. People could gather on the floor with the TV there. There are snacks available all day. They have free meals and restaurant-style dining. There is a patio, too, and everybody has been very nice."

"I went to look at Harmony at Waldorf. I liked the size of the rooms. It wasn't big, and it wasn't small. It was like a medium-sized room. I liked the management, the help, and the restaurant. I didn't get to see much, but I enjoyed what I saw. I didn't like that they didn't have a swimming pool. The staff members were excellent and very knowledgeable. They made sure that I understood exactly what was expected. The facility was excellent. The atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming. The dining area was very clean, pleasant, and welcoming."

"I have lived at Chevy Chase House (CCH) for about seven years and I could not be happier! I feel very fortunate to be here. The staff is outstanding. Many employees have been here for about 15 years or more and are very dedicated to the support and well-being of the Residents. They are always courteous, helpful, and good-willed! Many I consider friends now. I arrived here needing some medical help, but after I while I became completely independent and now enjoy a life where I can go out for lunch up Conn. Ave. or down to Politics & Prose Bookstore. I always return to a safe and secure environment here -- which is very reassuring. I have a wonderful apartment with plenty of windows overlooking Conn. Ave. (Thanks to triple-pane windows, it is very quiet here in the apartment.) And I know that, unlike in some other facilities, I will never have to leave my apartment if someday I take a turn for the "worse" (whatever that may be!). The assistance will come to me as I remain in my apartment. All Good! The food here is very good. We have an excellent Executive Chef who always makes it a point to serve very tasty and interesting food that somehow is also very healthy. (I like to say that we eat healthy in spite of ourselves.). Like the rest of the staff, the Dining Room staff is always friendly and welcoming so that we all look forward to our three meals a day in the Dining Room! (Once the Dining Room opens at 8:30 a.m., it is open all day. If Residents come late to a meal for whatever reason, there is always someone in the Dining Room to help them. The Managers are also friendly, available, and kind. Several hold meetings with Residents once a month to be sure that we are all "on the same page" about various matters. We have a Resident Council meeting once a month that is open to all Residents. We invite managers to our meetings to make announcements about planned trips, other events, and changes coming to the facility. If a Resident may have an issue, s/he is welcome to bring it up at the meeting and we try to resolve it at the meeting. Overall, we strive to have a harmonious community that allows Residents, Staff, and Managers to flourish together! The facility itself is warm and inviting and has the space to accommodate all the many activities which take place here each day -- and there is a fine gym here also!! As I noted above, I feel very fortunate to be here --- and I hope that this note helps explain why!"

"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 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."

"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 toured Angel Living. The facility was nice and had a nice setup. The staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable, and showed me around everything. They had safety precautions on the doors."
