Assisted Living Communities in Boonsboro, MD

"My relative has moved into Celebration Villa of Martinsburg. They are very caring and attentive. The facility is clean. She is very happy with the food. The response time when she calls for help is appropriate. The nurse practitioner is there every Tuesday. They're very good at letting me know about any changes. There is a hair salon on site, which is very good. I like the fact that they have a heating unit in each room. That's important because you can't have temperatures all over the place, especially with the elderly. It's close to the hospital. Overall, I don't have any strong reservations in a negative way. I'm very pleased with the facility."

"We toured Harmony at Martinsburg. It had a wide variety of things for the residents to do. The rooms were very nice and spacious, and the staff was very pleasant. They have a van that takes them out if they need to go anywhere. They have a movie theater and a little nook like the old rock and roll back in the 50s. They have an area for them to sit at tables. They have a cocktail hour there and a whole bunch of different stuff. It's nice, and I like it a lot."

"I have been a resident here at the Lorien in Taneytown for over a year now. I can't get over how friendly and willing to help the staff is, every department and every shift. I moved here with my dog, who is the Queen of the facility. Every one knows her: staff, residents & regular visitor alike are all greeted by the white dog who lives with me. We both enjoy the activities especially the music. I fell in love with the courtyard on my first visit, it reminds me of the gardens I visited in Paris."

"I toured Spring Arbor of Leesburg. They seemed to be very professional and were more aware of the regulations and processes of getting your parents moved in. They seemed very competent. The facility was very nice. It didn't have a modern feel, it had more of a colonial feel, but it was very clean and welcoming. There's plenty of light; it did not feel depressing at all. It's all on one floor and sprawling, which is kind of nice because the residents can move around more. You could pretty much do laps inside the building because it's so big. We like how sprawling it was inside and it kind of keeps the residents protected from the weather."

"I toured Paramount Senior Living at Chambersburg. It's an absolutely beautiful setting. It's in the mountains. The grounds were spacious, wooded, and well-kept. The independent living area was very nice. The apartments there are large and all one-bedroom. They're very spacious. The staff who accommodated us was the manager of the facility, and she was informative, positive, and very helpful. The dining area for independent living was small but very clean. They were in the process of cooking dinner, which smelled very good. They had bingo activities. They had trips to the local theaters. I can't remember everything that was on the activity list, but it was a very full activity from what I remember. If I could convince my mother to move in there today, I would."

"My mother moved into Reflections - A Senior Living Community. It's a nice, small community. She has a roommate, and it's a nice, little room. There's exercise in the morning, they have people come in, they had a pianist come and play the other day, and they do arts, and flower arranging. The food is good. The staff is really good, and caring, and they do an excellent job. It's good value, it's less expensive than the others."

"We went to the Lorien Mt. Airy. We love that the rooms were large, and the PT or rehab room was especially large. The staff was very informative and friendly. We tried the food but we weren't that impressed. They have amenities like a salon, a courtyard, and seating areas. In terms of maintenance, it looked like things were in their place, and everything was clean. It's near a restaurant and it's about 20 minutes from a hospital."

"I loved Charlotte Home. But they can't take a diabetic on a sliding scale because they have less than 16 people and, with Maryland law, they don’t have to have an RN on duty, so there is no one to monitor me. The place was awesome. I went in, and it was like walking into a home, they were cooking roast beef for dinner, and the people were friendly. There was more than 1 place you could eat, you could tell that the residents were very happy, and the lawn outside was immaculate. I sat down and had a wonderful conversation with the director, and she was very informative."

"My mother lives at Fahrney Keedy. She has a wonderful, spacious 2 bedroom cottage that she loves. Staff have been wonderful, accommodating, and helpful. Due to COVID, things are restricted right now but she is kept up to date with newsletters and memos on a regular basis. The community drops off treats often. There is a gazebo, community garden, community center, gym available for all residents to use. The Independent Living Residents Association meets for ice cream socials, movie night, trips and outing into the community, and other events. There is a gift shop in the main building where items can be purchased. The home she lives in is maintenance free. Fahrney Keedy offers a beauty/barber shop where residents can get their hair done or trim with reasonable rates. The residents get together for book club, trips to Walmart, Antietam Battlefield, Red Bird Diner, and many other places. The price to live here is just right. The food is delicious and can be delivered to her home. Accommodations can typically be met. Staff are very helpful and friendly. You can tell they genuinely care. I'm glad Mom is at Fahrney Keedy!

"We toured Somerford House & Place Hagerstown. It was very clean and very professional. The staff was very good. The building was very good. It was well-kept. The atmosphere was pretty calm. We just looked at a small studio. The size was fine for what I was looking for. The dining area looked very nice."

"We liked The Residences at Creekside. It was quiet and clean. We liked the way it was laid out. We saw a cottage, and the rooms were very nice. They're hardwood floors. The rooms were sunny. The area around it was nicely kept up with shrubs, etc. It was very nice. Because this is an independent living and a cottage, we would be doing our own food. They told us we could get food if we wanted to from the other part of the facility, but it's not directly physically connected to the building that we would be in. We were impressed with it. The staff who toured us was very helpful, not overly pushy or anything. She gave us the information that we needed. She gave us information that we might be interested in and she explained the whole place to us."

"Not being familiar with assisted living facilities, I was still extremely disappointed with this one. None of the staff members spoke clear English, and were not friendly by any means. We were not greeted for quite some time upon arrival and staff members continued to walk by us and said nothing. I did not get the feeling that they were efficient or organized in any way, and most staff members were not able to answer even the simplest of questions. When questioned about how they handled their medications, if a nurse/doctor was present at all, if their meals were personalized for clients (diabetes, etc), they seemed to fumble their answers or did not know the answers. We spoke with a few clients who lived there at the time we were visiting and all of them had very negative things to say about the facility and its' workers. Some of their complaints was that they refused to turn up the heat, the food was always cold, they were only allowed to bathe twice a week, they could not understand what the staff members were saying, etc. After going back a few times to visit our client, the owner accused us of not paying for her services and threatened to kick out our client. We had also heard from others in the facility that the owner has kicked people out before; she put them in a taxi cab with their items and sent them to the local shelter. I went to the facility approximately 6 times, each time being a terrible experience. We worked with the department of social services to get our client placed somewhere else and filed a formal complaint about the facility. "

"We're moving into the Homewood at Williamsport. We like the fact that it was quieter and smaller than most of the other places that we looked at on the outside. They supply a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher in the apartment. The staff was terrific. They have courtyards, the pool is inside, and there are walking paths. We chose the place that we did because they had a unique apartment available. It was a cottage, basically, and it was combined into one. It was two separate ones combined into one that one of the previous owners had taken a wall out and it became much larger, it's like 1968 square feet. So it's quite attractive. It was a nice and quiet location and everyone was very nice. All the people that we talked to who lived there were very, very nice and appreciative, and enjoyed living there. So that was important to us."
