The Best Nursing Home Communities in Anne Arundel County, MD

"My husband, Mr.Love, was a patient at Hillhaven in September and part of October 2024. I am proud of the workers at Sterling Hillhaven Health Care Center. The faculty and staff are hard workers and they give lots of attention to their jobs and patients. The rooms are very clean, the food is good (if you have allergies or don’t eat a pork) inform the nurses and staff. The nurses and staff are very friendly and I had fun laughing with them! In September, Hillhaven had a “Carnival Day” I entertained the patients outside with a magic show! It was a happy day for the patients. In October, my husband and I attended an Oktober fest on the 2nd floor, I was impressed with the activities! Way to go activity coordinators! I will return to Hillhaven to entertain with another magic show and as a Storyteller using props. The social worker and manager of nursing are great people, you can go to their office and talk with them anytime! Hillhaven in Adelphi Md is a great place for your love ones! They are wonderful people, take a tour and get to know Hillhaven. I am Mrs.Love written in October 2024."

"My husband and I stayed in Lorien Encore for respite. What I liked best was that the staff was wonderful there. I was able to do my medications, but my husband wasn't familiar with his medication, so they took over doing that. At first, it was rough. It was confusing, but they got it all straightened out, and it was fine for the rest of the weeks we were there. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it was very innovative of the things that they served, but the problem was that by the time it came out of the kitchen, it was cold. They were willing to heat it, but then it would just have taken longer. The cleanliness was outstanding. They had people come in for yoga, different exercises, bingo, and craft activities throughout the day. They had a movie theater where they had documentaries you could go to any time during the day and watch a movie. They had a little cafe there. If you had guests come, they could go there, and you could have lunch with them in the cafe. We did get what we paid for, but it's so expensive. The place we were in had a living area and then a bedroom, and we had plenty of room, a nice big closet, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a sink in every room."

"My mom moved to Bedford Court. It was close in proximity to where she had been living, and already knew a lot of the residents in Bedford Court. She's got a one-bedroom apartment with a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. She has a balcony outside, which was recently renovated, and a very nice full kitchen. The staff was very nice. I tried their food, and Mom liked the food a lot. The building was very clean. They have quite a few programs going on. They have regular scheduled events like trips to grocery stores or shopping centers. They do occasional events like trips to museums. They have movies. They have talks presentations, activities like games, and a lot of different games going on. They celebrated the holidays in different ways. They're the most reasonably priced of the places we looked at."

"Rooms are clean. Staff is amazing. Food is average. My mother is being well taken care off. Activities are fun and rewarding."

"My mom is staying at Fairfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. She's in an individual room, which is what she wanted, it's large, and has a nice window with a nice view. The staffing is good, but we had a little issue earlier about her follow up rehabilitation. When she first went in there, she didn't get any further rehabilitation after she was transferred to the private room that we got for her, which I thought, "Something's wrong." She digressed, and she wound up having to go back into the hospital. When she came back into Fairfield, they went through 14 days of rehabilitation and quarantine, and I told the front desk, her social worker, and the administration, that I felt that they should have continued on with her rehabilitation, because we don't want her to regress again. She's 99 years old, but her mind is sharp, it's just her body is starting to give out. She got a bad hip and a bad knee, and I wanted more follow up from the tests and everything that was done to her when she was in the hospital, and they have done that. This is the first week that she had rehab, and being back in her room, and she's now getting further rehab on her legs and her hip. She's very pleased with it, but she has always been pleased with the level of service that she has been getting there. The activities are limited because of COVID, but she's actually going down to the gym, and working out for an hour. There are some residents down there at the same time, and she likes that she's getting exposed to other people. They have a big rec room, small meeting rooms, a library, and a large dining area, but none of that is used right now because of COVID. The food is excellent. My mother is a true entrepreneur as far as food goes, and she's always been a fantastic cook. She doesn't mind telling you that you're doing it wrong, and she's very pleased with the quality and the quantity of food they have. I have never been there actually, and I am just going by what she tells me, and according to her, her living atmosphere is fine. She got a big nice room with a nice table, and it's facing east, so she gets the morning sun, and she loves that. It's adequate, and she can sit there and read her paper or books. It's expensive to be there, but they're taking care of her."

"When my mother left the hospital, she went to Knollwood. Good service. But the building itself was raggedy, and they were trying to update a lot, which was a good thing, but the service was very good. Everybody was on their game; everybody was very good. So this was a very good place. I liked their location; it was really nice where they were. If they had to go anywhere to shop or anything like that, they could go with no problem. She had a roommate there, so you had two people sharing a room, and yet it was kind of nice-sized for two people. "
