The Best Senior Living Communities in Parkville, MD

"My mother is in Seaton Towson. The director came to the previous rehabilitation center my mom had been in. The LPN used her skilled nursing ability to assess my mother on two occasions, and the second occasion enables my mother to be able to be eligible to move to Seaton Townson. They picked her up. They also had me see a room in advance. They also asked for a very minimal deposit to hold the room. There were two rooms shown and they gave us the rationale for a first floor room versus a second floor room. In her case, we chose a larger room, which is on the second floor. They encouraged her to come out of her room and walk, and she needed to walk due to a lower limb injury. She arrived and everything was ready for her. I needed to replace the bed to be a hospital bed. Everything else, like a mini-refrigerator, brand new, modern room, modern bathroom with a shower and seated area, and bars were all available to her. Occupational therapy and physical therapy come in twice a week. She's also been evaluated for dementia, and there's a follow-up periodically to reevaluate as well. She is receiving meals three times a day in a community area that is very well set up and they don't eat alone. They have people that are selected to sit with and have conversations with. The meals are more of a cafeteria style, but they are much better than where she was. They also have snack time. If she needs to stay in her room for any particular reason or a special diet, they will bring the food to her. She just had her front bridge removed for a new one, so she needed cold and soft food, and she needed that in her room for a while. They do the laundry there, but there is a cost. They provide towels and whatnot. I've given her additional towels as well. Their hours of operation to the public where you can actually get into the facility and have someone pick up the phone is 8:00 until 5:00. When mother has appointments they have free transportation Mondays and Thursdays. They have a beauty area. They have many common spaces. It's an old barn that had been renovated. It's in Maryland, so it has that colonial feeling to it, but it's very bright. Everything is in golds and beautiful light tone browns and off whites. It's very uplifting. They're able to keep it clean. They keep the door locked, but there's always a person to let you in in their glass doors. There are lots of windows in the room and in the whole common space area."

"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."

"We toured Charter Senior Living of Towson. I liked the person that did the interview, she was wonderful and a very compassionate person. The location was a little too far for me to travel to visit, but I liked the place and everything it had to offer. They had a variety of doctors available, more than other places did. While most places only have a doctor and a podiatrist, they had many services available. They also had a salon, and they had many different activities to keep the resident busy."

"I was nervous about finding a place for my mother, but when I found this one, I was so glad I did ! . Not only was my mother well cared for here, but the staff and owner of the facility made me feel very welcome . They were also very helpful in keeping me updated on my mom, who I visited frequently and who was in wonderful hands. They host alot of activities , game nights and they even go out some time to keep the residents busy . If you're looking for a place to call home for a member of your family, I would absolutely recommend this location. Thank you Mrs.Kim !!"

"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."

"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. "

"Arden Courts of Towson is 100% managed memory care, so it felt like the whole facility was designed with that in mind, which was a different feel from all the other places that have mixed levels of care. Their apartments are more like bedrooms because they want to encourage the managed memory care folks to be in social spaces as much as possible. The physical design of the place is in a circle or a ring with four wings. It's predominantly living spaces, but the ring is where a lot of the social space is, so it's designed to bring people out of their rooms into the ring, where they can walk. Both spaces were very secure and very well-maintained. The staff was sort of on top, but they all had the ability to go outside. One of the interesting things about it was that the boundary for the managed memory care was around the entire facility, so even if they went outside, they were still inside the secure boundary in which the residents could be safe. Another thing that I found interesting during the tour was that they attempt to be entirely staffed with full-time employees. They do not utilize contract staff as a regular part of how they manage their staffing, so it felt like the people who were there had a long-term relationship with the residents rather than having a layer of contract staffers who might be there for a month, two months, or five months, and then going away. There was a feeling of solidity with the staffing there. In terms of facilities, everything was there, although some things were a bit on the old side. It was very clean, though, and it did not smell. I've been in skilled nursing facilities where you can smell them, and it smells like sickness in those places."

"My brother-in-law was at Symphony Manor for almost 2 years. EVERYDAY he got extraordinary care at every level. This is a place where staff took the time to get to know him (He had had a stroke), found out his needs, and loved him. He made special relationships there and I will forever be grateful for the way that Symphony treated someone I loved. "

"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."

"I toured About That Life Assisted Living. I didn't go with anything else. I went because of the location and I liked the facility and it was very clean. The program, she ran it down to me, the things that my cousin would be doing, doctor's appointments, eating, taking his medication. If we want to put him out and he wants to go to daycare, he can. I chose that one because the lady was very professional and the house was nice."

"I filled out an application at The Terraces at Park Heights yesterday. It was great. They're very nice apartments. I would recommend them. They were very helpful. I went to view the apartments, the facility, and the surroundings of the facility, but I didn't have lunch there. Everything was fine, though. I would recommend the apartments. They were wonderful."

"I toured Dulaney Valley Assisted Living at Hunt Valley and liked that it was a house. I liked the nursing staff-to-patient ratio. I also liked how the rooms were clean and set up and how they addressed the fact that every patient was different because of their mental status. They were quite a little different, and it's not all cookie-cutter same thing for everyone. The head nurse there was very knowledgeable and informative. The place was very nice. I was in the bathroom, and in some locations, the pungent odor of urine was very predominant. You could not have that with this location."
