One of the main reasons I really liked Collington was that the different areas of the residents seemed to really reflect the residents who live there. You would see the courtyard out in front of the cottages the people live in, and they could decorate their little entryway or inside, you would see artwork that the residents made in the hallways. A lot of the people who live there have had international lives so you feel that the residents are really interesting. A lot of other larger communities have more doctors on-site or those who would travel to the site but Collington didnt have a lot of medical resources. The person doing the tour was excellent, very knowledgeable. and friendly. She made us feel welcome and was happy to show us the place. My parents said the food is very good, and they're doing a very good job in accommodating different dietary needs.

The rooms at Collington were nice. You could have your own kitchen because they always remodel the kitchens when people go in. You could have carpet or hardwood floors and your own washer and dryer. They had a restaurant where you could go to eat and get so many meals for free, but you had to buy in. It's a good place, and we'd like to go to it. They also had an assisted living place and a place for you if you came down with Alzheimer's that you could transfer to. The people were pretty friendly, and they had a lot of activities that you could do and trips. It was like a community. They check on you if you didn't get out of your room at a certain time by knocking on your door to make sure you're OK. They had lots of activities. I had a meal there because they had an open house, and the food was pretty good. They had boats that you could get on and go fishing, and they had a place where you could garden and grow your own flowers. They had a choir that you could join in and a lot of nice things.

The environment at Collington Life Care Community is very inviting, and it appears that they have capable staff. If I had a choice of a facility, this would be my first choice. The apartments seemed to be very well appointed. The common spaces are very inviting.

Collington is 125 acres and they have a 6-acre glade. It's beautifully landscaped, it has a walking nature trail, it has lots of wild life and the people who live there can have a gardening space. They have a choice of a cottage or an apartment. They have canoes if you want to paddle around or fish on the lake. We spent a night there and the rooms were very nice and spacious with adequate closet space and well-appointed kitchens. The bathrooms were especially nice, very large bathrooms to accommodate wheelchairs. The food is very good. This place is a little bit far from my daughters.

Collington Episcopal Life Care Community had a nice swimming pool. I used to do my water aerobics there. There were big areas where people walked. I had lunch there a couple of times. The food was very delicious. The people there were amenable and friendly. It was a well-maintained establishment.

My father was familiar with Collington Episcopal Life Care Community because his father also went there in the past. He visited the place and decided to move there. The place was very well-regarded. My father seemed happy with his choice.

It was a nice young man from the marketing who gave us a tour of Collington. We had a lot of discussions and he understood what we we're looking for. But you have to take evening meals at a certain time. We tend to eat at a later time, so that was more a problem for us. Also, you have to get either the beltway to drive there. All my friends are aging too, and they don't like driving in the beltway. So it would be hard for them to come and visit.

The staff is very attentive and thorough. They seem like they really care and I can see that some of the nurses have real caring and meaningful relationships with the residents. They ask about each other's families and things like that.

Collington was excellent. I thought it was a very nice place. It was clean and spacious, and they seemed to have competent and friendly personnel. It had a nice overall environment, but the price was expensive.

Collington was in a beautiful park-like setting and only half an hour from downtown DC. It had nice villas and separate apartments, but the main buildings were lacking in amenities. They didn't look as though they were as well-maintained as they should be. The place seemed isolated to me, and the population seemed much older than I was interested in.

My mom is moving into Collington. The staff is wonderful, the facility is very nice, and they have a wide selection of rooms, both apartment-style as well as cottage-style. They have all different sizes from small studios to large three-bedrooms. The food was pretty good and definitely designed for a senior's palate, so it wasn't spicy. In general, the menu was good.

Most people at Collington Life Care were professional, helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The grounds were immaculate, the individual buildings were clean, and the floors as well as the uniforms of the staff were always clean. The facilities were more than adequate. The rooms were sufficient with all the things that you would need like wheelchair access and sit down showers. My husband was there last year for six weeks. The staff who was involved with him with the exception of two people were absolutely wonderful. They have a barbershop, salon, art classes, music room, daily activities daily, full-fledged gym, and they even have 7 acre lake available for fishing. They also had excursions that would take them to the grocery store, and they will also transport you to doctor's appointments as well.

We found Collington -- it was on a 120 acre farm and it appealed to us. They have cottages as opposed to a big building. It's been around for a long time. They offer shuttle service and they have lots of different resident-run activities. They have doctors on site as well as a beauty shop.

We took a tour of Collington Episcopal Life Care. It was very interesting. We got to visit some apartments. They also even had a gentleman who opened up his cottage for the visit. We had a luncheon and a movie. The staff is fantastic. I found the food great because my wife has some severe diet difficulties, and we informed them at the time, and they responded to that need.

Staff are caring, respectful and competent and friendly. The nursing and assisted living facilities are quiet, clean and spacious. There are many interesting activities and special interest facilities to enjoy, including crafts, sports, swimming, singing, gardening, and woodworking. The grounds are well maintained, ADA accessible, and interesting, with a pond, trails and sitting areas.

My Grandparents lived in this faciliy for many years, any my family would visit often. I can remember the rooms were always very nice and well kept, and the facilities were always very outstanding. We would use the pool and the work out area, and at night we would stop by the card game room. The dining hall was always abuzz with people socializing, and I remember the food always being very good, especially the desert! The outdoor grounds area was also quite nice, and I remember walking around the little pond that they had, complete with several duck families. My grandparents always received the best care while they were here, and I never got the feeling that the facility was lacking in any way.
