The Best Senior Living Communities in Darlington, MD

"I toured Juniper Village at Newark. I liked the rooms because they were nice, big, and spacious, and they allowed dogs. The bathroom was handicapped-accessible, so it was very big, and I wouldn't have to climb over a tub. The staff was friendly and nice. You can get the main dish they're serving, or you have a list of alternates, which I liked, but I had the main dish, shrimp, which was very good. The facility was very clean. I would change a couple of things, but I know that's a problem everywhere, so I'm not worrying about that. I like the size of the rooms. I could get a bedroom that fit my queen-sized bed with two dressers and a chair without a problem. In the living room, you could have a chair, a sofa and a TV stand. They have a lot of closet space, which some of the others didn't have."

"Woodlands Assisted Living was very clean, very ornate, and very fancy on the inside, as far as the foyer went. It was very nice. The apartment was very clean and small. The good thing was it had its own bathroom and shower, which was very nice. The staff during the tour was very professional, provided a lot of information, and answered all my questions. The dining area was very nice, very neat, orderly, and very well-managed. They had a salon, a library, and other activities to play."

"My brother is in a unique situation. He had a debilitating stroke when he was younger, now at only 55, his health was in decline and he needed assisted living. The staff at Viva are so vibrant and joyful. They've treated my brother with so much respect and encouragement. They want him to get better in hopes that he may regain some independence - and it's working! They won't let him quit. This level of care goes beyond what is simply required. These are incredible humans who want the best for the people in their care. Dana the Medical Technician, Patrice and Daija the Resident Care Aides are the best."

"The staff were extremely great to be around. Since it’s a small community everyone got to know each other and it was very fun to see my grandma get to be cheerful and lively during her last few months there. It was everything we needed for her. I knew she was in great hands seeing the staff welcome her with open arms. For being a small community, it sure is a wonderful place to be at."

"I visited Lighthouse Senior Living at Hopkins Creek and toured for memory care. I met with the person who does the tours, and we talked about what kind of programs they had. We discussed the difference between assisted living and managed memory care, what kind of activities they do for the managed memory program, and what their activities are to help the memory care residents because they need a different kind of help. We talked about rooms, room management, security and safety, and on-site staff presence. We talked about things like the nurse's hours and how often a doctor comes in. We talked about their compliance with Maryland state regulations and the every 45-day evaluations of managed memory care residents. We also talked about how they handle emergencies. Part of the reason that we're going through this is that my mother recently broke her hip, so even with a 24/7 care staff, at this point, it's not enough for her. I want her to have more structure around it. We then did a tour of the facility and a tour of the rooms. We went over the differences between how they manage the relationship between their assisted living and the managed memory care space. We talked about how much of their managed memory team is dedicated to just those folks, as opposed to moving back and forth between the programs, and how much of their staff for assisted living are trained in case of issues with someone in managed memory care. We also talked about dollars and cents. They have a model based on very clearly defined levels, and there were four of them. In a couple of the other places I visited, it felt like the charges could vary quite widely for managed memory care, even from month to month. With Lighthouse, it didn't feel that way, so it was quite good. They were very comprehensive, they were very nice, and the staff had good interactions with the residents, so it seemed like a very pleasant place. The staff who gave the tour was also very good, very polite, very pleasant, and very clear and knowledgeable."

"My aunt moved to Loving Care Assisted Living, and I love everything about it. I love the staff and the cleanliness of the house. It's very welcoming and bright. How they treat my aunt is good. I love the meals that they prepare. Jasmine, the owner, was very forthcoming in helping me and facilitating the discharge of my aunt from the hospital to her house. They keep me informed, like updates about her. Her room is very clean. The beds are good and sturdy. She has a private bathroom in her room and plenty of closet space. Her door has a number so she wouldn't get confused and walk into the wrong bedroom."

"Heart Homes was small, and it felt comfortable. It was warm and homey. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They had activities. They were playing bingo, and they watch TV. The bedrooms were fine and a decent size. They were clean and had their own bathroom. The dining room was the right size. "

"Victorian Villa was an excellent facility. It was about an hour from my home. It seemed professional but yet home like. The people were extremely friendly. I could sense a secure atmosphere, and I would recommend anyone to visit if they were looking for a personal care home as opposed to a larger facility. The rooms were spacious. The facilities were excellent and well maintained. They had an elevator for residents who needed walkers or scooters. They had exceptional cognitive activities which I really liked. "

"I visited Ideal Comfort Assisted Living and toured for assisted living. It's not a good facility. I would never take my father there. The rooms are too small, and there's no privacy. It's not set up for level 3 care, so my father wouldn't have 24-hour coverage. It's not handicap accessible, and the neighborhood is not that great as well, so it just wouldn't be a good fit for him. The person who gave the tour was nice enough. That wasn't the issue; the person was okay. The only suggestion I will make is that I think they need to break down the number of people who are in there, I think they need more privacy and more staff. I think they are understaffed if they're going to offer level 3 care."
