Memory Care Communities in Waldorf, MD

"I was able to see Prince of Peace I. They didn't have many amenities as far as common areas, it was just one little small TV. Although they have TVs in their rooms, it would be good for them to get out of their rooms and be in a common area with other residents. But there's not enough space for that. The staff members and employees were very welcoming, they went over a lot of things and asked a lot of questions about my grandmother, and they spoke about their specialties or their focus. They kind of specialize in dementia, so that was nice to hear. Whenever I call, they answered and were happy to answer any questions I had. They had a van that they use when they need to take the residents to places and stuff like that. But that's the only amenity that I remember them mentioning. They have physical therapy that comes to the house, but I didn't like that they didn't have nurses or a nurse onsite 24 hours. "

"We really liked Judy Comfort and Care Assisted Living. We loved it because they were very personable and very professional. We enjoyed the visit. The staff was very friendly. It's a family-run business, very personable, and very professional. We saw the rooms. The rooms were good for the level of care. The people were constantly doing activities and not just sitting around. It was very enjoyable. The living atmosphere was very personable. It didn't look like a business or anything. It felt like you were at home where you could feel comfortable."

"My uncle moved to Sunrise at Mount Vernon. We chose it for him because it was very inviting when I walked in, the nurse and staff all treated the residents with respect, and the food was good. I got a nice and warm feeling when I went in. My uncle's room is small. It's like a dorm-type, but he has everything in there that he can do, like having a nice-sized bathroom. The only thing that he doesn't care for too much is the shower being low. It's on the floor, and the water comes out. He's very conscientious about that and saying, "Oh, I don't like to take a shower because the water is coming out on the floor.", but I know that the lip is small because they want to use it for wheelchair accessibility. The facility is very clean. They invited us to a nice program for the 4th of July, and the whole family was able to come. It was really nice."

"Our Dad was a resident at Margaret's Place in Ft Washington, MD for a number of years. The house and rooms were clean, nice size and a place you'd call home. The food was well balanced, scrumptious and Dad was really spoiled by the staff's home cooked meals. I really enjoyed the staff's friendly, warm, professional, sensitive and caring attitude toward our Dad, myself and our family."

"This is how dementia/elder care should be. My dad, who has dementia of the Alzheimer's type, has been living with me and my wife the past 2 years. He had a very bad experience at a traditional memory care facility prior to living with us, but after 2 years of care my wife and I were in dire need of a vacation and respite care for my dad. We found Tilden House which is much smaller and offers much more personalized care and way better staff/resident ratios than your traditional memory care facility. It feels so much more like being at home because it is an actual home. The staff were also amazing (thank you Wade and Eva!) and took such great care of my dad. After our 2 week vacation, we went to pick up my dad and he had clearly been well taken care of and most importantly, was happy as a clam. When asked if he'd be willing to stay at Tilden House again if we were to take another trip, he said "Sure, I had a good time here. The staff were very nice and make you feel comfortable." but when asked about traditional memory care he says "It was like being in prison." If you have a loved one struggling in a traditional facility, do yourself a favor and check out Tilden. It's the next best thing to home care for your loved ones."

"I toured the assisted living of Spring Hills Mount Vernon. It was set up differently. They had the chef come out and talk to me. The chef had food and fed me, and it was good. The exercise people were there too with all kinds of things going on. They showed me what was happening there. I think they had beauty and a barbershop, too. It was just expensive. The person who gave the tour was very nice. My family was with me and they said it looked really nice. It was more updated and bigger than the other ones we've seen. I felt good about that place. I went to apply and get my funds and stuff going but I didn't have enough money because they kicked up the price. The pricing wasn't good. If these places would come down a little, they'd be more affordable for a lot more people. "

"The facility is well maintained. The food is healthy and good portions. The staff is very attentive to clients and family members. I think cost is a good value for the care provided."

Everything inside is brand new! Our facility features high end furnished private rooms with private baths, commercial chef kitchen, and spacious sitting areas throughout. The residents have access to safe and comfortable outdoor spaces where they can just relax and experience the tranquil surroundings. Tranquility Ridge is housed on 4 and one-half acres of sprawling land that sits off to itself, offering privacy and green space aplenty. On-site clinical and therapeutic services are available (primary and podiatry care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy services). We would love for you to come and take a tour of our community at your earliest opportunity.

"We toured Henson Creek Assisted Living. The manager, Diane, we were very pleased with her and the tour. She was precise, polite, and patient. We saw some of the activities that the residents were doing, like an exercise class. They had it with the music and they had a person there. They had outdoor games and activities that had them interacting in groups with the caregivers, and watching TV and walking."

"We visited Cogir of Old Town, Alexandria, and toured for assisted living. The tour was fine, and it was a nice building. The lady was very nice and told us everything that we needed to know. It was right there on the corner, and once we got inside, it was very nice. It had a very nice appearance and interior, and it was well laid out. They showed us the layout and what they do there. I kinda like it a little bit because, in their system, they had a gentleman who was the coordinator of the activities. He showed us all the games, and that's one of the things that I like about it. They played checkers, and they had puzzles and stuff like that, so there were a lot of things to do. They had everything that you needed, like a salon, where you could do your nails and hair. They had a nice place where you could walk. They also showed us the outside patio, and it was very nice. The person who gave us the tour was at the door when we came in, and asked us if we wanted refreshments or if there was anything we wanted before she started her tour. After the tour was over, she asked if there were any questions that we needed her to answer, and she answered them. We didn't eat, but they showed us the dining area, which is very clean and very well-kept."

"We toured The Fairfax, and my aunt used to live there. We saw the rooms and the units and everything. We walked around there, and we ate there. So, it meets all of our criteria except for the cost. The staff all appeared to be busy and helpful, like you would expect. We had a good tour. They have different types of displays there. They had a display for when they would do a buffet, like in the hallway, where you could nibble on. So, they had good food that looked good. The location was good. The one my aunt had was a two-bedroom with a part in the middle and then a bedroom on either side. They always take care of their rooms whenever we've been in them."

"My overall tour experience of Sunrise of Alexandria's memory care was positive. The facility was conveniently located, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. My visit was right around when we had a snowstorm so it was kind of inconvenient for them but it did not stop them. They took me through the facility and answered my questions, and I was very pleased with it. I found the rooms to be comfortable, well-thought-out, and well-appointed. A lot of people don't realize the difficulty for aged people to kind of get around and do things and I found that these rooms were geared towards easy access with all their bathrooms and spaces. The staff was very outgoing and friendly. They're willing to answer any questions and I was happy with them. The young lady who was supposed to meet me that day got her car stuck, and so she was running a little late. Another staff member filled in until she was able to show up but I was there in the middle of the snowstorm, too, so I understood it. It would have been easier for them to reschedule because of the snowstorm but they didn't so I thought that was really good of them."

"The Landing Alexandria is like a first class hotel, fine food , wonderful staff, lovely atmosphere and interesting people to meet perfect location at Potomac Yard area of Alexandria"

"My aunt has moved to Abundantly Blessed Assisted Living. We like it because it's an assisted living facility in a home so it's small and very nice. It's new, I think they just started. I haven't tried it but my aunt likes the food there. I went there while she was eating, and I sat with her. It's more like a home so the meals are prepared for them. The residents are served 3 meals a day. They have an activity room with games, books, and pencils to color. They also have a backyard where they can go out on a deck. They are worth the money because of the care that she gets and the feedback that I get. I'm always comfortable whenever I go there. She is looking good and she's always fine."
