The Preston of Rockville

We toured it. It was lovely. I wish I could live there. It was so beautiful. I thought the facility was great. They did have a special at that time for how much it would cost, which was also great. We learned that with the level of care that they have, they do not put railings on the bed. My father-in-law must have railings on the bed because he cannot move or walk, but he could fall out of bed. The staff was lovely and informative. The structure and cleanliness were excellent. It's only less than five years old. The layout was very nice for someone who can take care of themselves, but if they needed more assistance, the doors seemed to be kind of far away from someone in a bed calling for help, but I'm sure that they've had other measurements, but we just didn't go into it.

I moved my mother here. It is really, really nice with a lot of wooded area around it that won't be developed, so it's just a very pretty setting. The facility itself has recently been built, so I like the fact that the common areas were very wide open and there was access to a very pretty outside patio that was really good size. My mother loves to be outdoors, so that was very appealing. I really like the staff. They have been so far very good at communicating with me if I have questions, and just to keep you updated on my mother's progress there. And the price was right. I also like its proximity. Some of the other places I looked at were a little too far, and it would take me a long time to go back and forth, and that was definitely a factor. My mother's room is a studio, and I like it because it has lots of lights and it has a high ceiling. The bathroom is brand new. There's a very spacious walk-in. No step for the shower. It's very safe. I had lunch there and the food was good. The area where my mother has her meals is very inviting because it's very open and bright. She has a good appetite, so I think so far, she's enjoying the food. Everyone has been very responsive when I've called with questions, and or just called to ask about how she's doing. So the communication has been very good. Activities look great. It's on par with other places I looked at. I would say the other thing that was appealing about it is that it's very easy to know exactly what the cost per month will be because it's regardless of care level, and they also had a move-in special, which was appealing. It's very nice to have just one fee and just know that that's your fee as opposed to sort of trying to figure out what it might be based on care level and other factors. So that was appealing.

It was absolutely beautiful. They have all different programs for the residents. They have physical therapy, a spa, woodworking classes (and all other different classes), a library, and a bar outside. I would describe it as an upscale hotel. It's very nice. The cafeteria was very clean. They also have two different dining rooms. If you want to have private dinners with a few of your friends or family that come over, they have areas for that. The woman that gave the tour was amazing, too.

We will be moving in. It's more assisted living. It is not a nursing home. We get three meals. They have nurses, but they don't have a doctor on call. It's mostly for individuals who are more active and may need some type of assistance here or there. They have Parkinson's classes four days a week. They've been very helpful. We had lunch and dinner there, and the food was excellent. They have menus. It's not a set meal, and you have choices. It's almost like a restaurant.
