Memory Care Communities in Waldorf, MD

"Judy Comfort and Care Assisted Living was a nice and warm setting. It's very homey and it has a lot of properties outside, around the house itself, like a country setting. They have very caring facilitators and they seem to have a really warm interest in the clients that are there. The person who assisted us during the visit was very warm and friendly. She's also understanding of this kind of transition. The dining area was nice. It was just a homestyle kitchen. I did not get a chance to see them serving any food then. They have activities that they do with the residents. They take them fishing, they have chair exercises for them, they take them on walks, and then they have games and activities that they do too."

"George Assisted Living Facility felt homey, and that's what I'm looking for my aunt. She would do better in a residential environment versus a facility. Because with time and attention given, it's less people and it's more individualized. I would say it was homey, it was very clean, and it was very comfortable. I felt comfortable, and my aunt did, too. She interacted with the proprietor that was there. I walked around the bedrooms, the bathrooms, and the outside, and it was all clean. Everything was neat. I was very pleased. No smells. I was very happy about that."

"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."

"The staff was very friendly which was a relief because other places were lacking in this department. We even got to eat there during lunch time and it was amazing to see that the food quality was superior to even what i make at home myself. The place was clean, brightly lit and seemed to have gone through new renovations. Keep up the good work! "

"I think the assisted living facility of Lifesprings Eldercare # 1 is ideal for a much older person. The home is very clean. I like the little garden thing they have going on, and they did a lot of arts and crafts with the residents. The place is ideal for people aged 80 and above. It's a food facility, but my cousin is only 70, and for her, that's not a good facility. It doesn't mean that it's not a good facility for someone who's 80-plus. What I don't like about it is that, because it is home, there's only one shared bathroom. Since it's a home, it's going to have some limitations. Other than that, the staff was very caring and attentive. It is very small and intimate, so you're only going to get maybe four people in there."

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.

"I've been to Henson Creek Assisted Living to tour. It was a toss-up between this place and the one we ended up choosing, but this one was just more expensive. They had shared rooms and private rooms, but they were just more expensive than what we could do at the time. They have a salon on site, they have a therapist that comes in, the staff was very nice, and the also owner was great. Before COVID, they used to do a lot more events that included families, which was very nice to hear. It was nice to see how the residents along with the staff interacted with each other. They have all things that matter, and they're also building a new facility right across the street from where the current one is. And that one will have an actual physical therapy gym within the facility."

"I like Cogir of Old Town, Alexandria. They have the same types of amenities. I was looking for what would be a good fit for my brother. He is a veteran, and he would want to talk to other men and that kind of thing, and it was good. It was very nice. Their apartments have microwaves and mini fridges. They have a good amount of storage. They have call buttons. They have a theater area and sitting areas on each floor. People could gather on the floor with the TV there. There are snacks available all day. They have free meals and restaurant-style dining. There is a patio, too, and everybody has been very nice."

"The Landing Alexandria was excellent. It's a fabulous location if you're a younger or more able senior and if you travel because you're right near the airport, and that's one of the reasons why I looked at it. Plus, I have a friend who lives there, and I visited her several times, and it is fabulous. The building is complete, and it is a year and a half old. However, because it's a high rise, the only way that seniors can get out and about and do stuff is to go up on their eighth floor. That's where their garden club has plots, and that's where the chef grows his herbs, and they have a bar and a lounge up there so people can be outside and stuff. But that's it, so that's the only problem. Also, they don't have a pool. It's beautiful and it's a gorgeous spot, but there's a lot of construction. And for seniors who are moving across the country, I wouldn't want to stress them with that. It's brand new, so everything is shiny and bright. The layouts are nice. They offer five different layouts from studios to two-bedrooms plus a den. Some have balconies, and some without. I tried their food, and it was good. I had eaten with a friend of mine before."

"Beulah Spring Assisted Living LLC had a very homey atmosphere and I felt like I would be leaving my mother in a home environment. It was clean and colorful. I liked that the place was small, so she could have individual-type care. I didn't see any extra thrill about the place and it was priced a little higher than what I had anticipated. I only met with the owner, and I thought that the information she provided was wonderful. She was very open in explaining everything. I saw 2 residents and they were engaged in some type of game at a table. And then they did have 2 other nurse assistants right there with them. I did like the open areas that they had for families to come visit."

"My mother moved to Cogir of West End Alexandria's memory care. It's a very beautiful community. The attendance of the nurses is very helpful, and the support staff is very supportive. The director is very welcoming and very friendly. The buck stops with him. He takes action immediately if you need something. I haven't had a complaint, but in my experience of trying to get what my mother needed, I can see that he's very receptive and quick to implement what it was that she needed. The staff he gave me to deal with was also very receptive and very professional. I'm very pleased with them. My mother's room is good. I've seen the food and the menu, and they look very healthy. They have activity after activity. Every hour, they're changing and doing something with the people. They take field trips, art sessions, and music sessions. They do let the residents watch TV, but it's not a situation where they're sitting in front of the TV all day. When they watch TV, it's usually a movie in the evening. They don't have the time to watch TV during the day because they're moving them around to different activities."

"My brother moved into Harmony at Spring Hill. It's like every other facility; staffing is something they can improve on. They don't have enough care managers to take care of the number of residents they have, so they need to improve staff in order to provide care to the residents. But other than that, the staff there has been great. They have tried really hard to make sure my brother was taken care of. They would go to the room and see him, and get him for meals. He wasn't going to come out of the room by himself, so they would make sure he got down for his meal. So, the staff there was wonderful. They had everything clean. They kept the place looking good. I had no complaints about how they cleaned up his room and made sure they dumped the trash when needed. As I say, not just the staff downstairs, but the staff upstairs, the nurses, the care managers, and all were wonderful. The food was wonderful. After they took your order and the food came out at the table, it was presented well. It was still hot, not warm when it came out, and that is a plus when you're serving so many people. There are a few things that could be improved on. They didn't get around to fixing things as quickly as I thought they should, but they did not care and did prioritize what was an emergency and what could wait until later. They did get around to it. They had quite a few activities going on during the day. My brother didn't attend a lot of activities because he was more interested in being able to sit outside in the sun. We chose Harmony at Spring Hill because it was closer to my home."

"We toured the Sunshine Assisted Living in Alexandria. They gave us a tour of the whole assisted living community. I liked the layout of it and the distance from where we lived. The staff there were very kind and polite. The coordinator was very nice and explained everything that my wife and I talked to her about. The dining area was nice and clean. The staff showed me where they dine, the playing area, and the salon where they do their hair, which was nice. You have to go underground and off the street to park. Other than that, I think it appears nice. It's also right on the corner, so you can't miss it."

"I went to Potomac Place Assisted Living and Memory Care. I liked the director. She was great. She had just transferred, and I just really liked her. I thought she was doing a great job in her first six months on the job there. They have a courtyard. It was nice. It's in a wooded area, and it's pleasant. It was peaceful, and I liked it because it was directly across from the fire station for EMT response."
