The Best Nursing Home Communities in Charles County, MD

"I was very hesitant recommending this facility to my loved one due to the bad reviews. Turned out it was a great experience. From the touring to discharge everyone was great and very caring. They always attends to the needs of our loved one and that really helped in the speedy recovery. What we really appreciated as we were leaving staff are still telling us not to hesitate to call them for any questions. It made us feel like we are not on our own even when we left the facility. THANKS to the TEAM of Bradford Oaks. "

"My father is in Charlotte Hall Veterans Home, receiving skilled nursing care. It's a veteran's facility, although they don't take VA benefits, which is a little strange. It's also why we need to get him out of there. Other than that, I've found the staff to be wonderful. The facility is also clean and beautiful, and has lots of activities for the residents. The cleanliness is perfect. You could eat off the floors. They have outdoor spaces with a garden. They have, I guess you could call them aquariums, except they're not all water. They have live turtles and those kinds of things for the residents to look at. They have a nice dining room, and my father says that the food is okay. They have activities in the main hall, like live music and that kind of thing. They have movies and bingo, too. They're also very anchored with the veterans' social clubs in the area. The VFW and The American Legion will come and get them from time to time and host off-site dinners for them, so it's a lovely facility. As a veteran's home, they're requiring Medicare Part D and supplemental drug coverage, which doesn't make sense to me. It's like a state-run facility versus a veterans home. However, in terms of pricing, the full price at some of the other facilities in Maryland that I looked at was running from $8,000 to $10,000 a month. Here, it's just about $5,500 to $5,600, so the pricing is good, but their requirements are a little bit weird. We chose this place because of the social aspects of it for my father. I thought he would be happiest around other veterans, although he's not taken to being a very social creature. I also think that he favors more female companionship, but there aren't a lot of female companions there. They're mostly male veterans, which I thought would appeal to him, but it's not as appealing as he thought, or as I thought."

"Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Facility a little on the older side but the care was great."

"Great service! Small, family feel. Wonderful therapy services. Excellent staff. All around a great experience. "

"What a nice place. Pleasant staff that truly cares about their patients. The place was extremely clean and fresh smelling. Each time I've gone to visit my mom, everyone was so pleasant and kind to me, and more importantly to my mom."

"Excellent facility with a very stable, kind, competent, and attentive staff. Mt brother has been a resident for over two years. The facility is always clean. Patients receive excellent individualized care. The food is good. The rehab is excellent. There's an active schedule of activities for residents. Concerns are addressed promptly and attentively. The social worker is kind, accessible, and quite helpful. The nursing staff is warm, caring and responsive. This is a stellar facility! "

"My mother was at United Medical Nursing; it was nice, and I chose it again. The facility is real clean; the other nursing home she was in when you go in the smell just knocked you down, this one had no smell. They clean her up and have her dressed when I wanted to take her out, and they call me real quick as soon as something happens. "

"My aunt is in Carolyn Boone Lewis Heath Care Center for a couple of months now for her therapy and I am very pleased with the facility. It is clean. My aunt likes the food and she eats all of it. The nurses and the staff are very informative. If you ask them question, they will give you answers. Their administration there is really good too. "

"I liked Woodbine Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center. It's a very nice place. Availability wasn't immediately available for my mother, so that was unfortunate. It's very well maintained. I like the activities that they had for adults. It was right in the process of being remodeled. I don't remember a pool or a salon, but what I cared most about was that they had memory care facilities. The rooms were a good size. I believe they were set up for two patients."

"This facility is a hospital, rehab and nursing home that is part of the Specialty Hospital Center. The location, although convenient and close to the highway, is not good; it's a high crime area, although the facility does a good job with security, with a guard and sign-in policy. It is very clean. There are a couple floors of nursing care, which is a plus, since it's small enough for residents to get individualized attention"”and visitors don't get overwhelmed or lost. The rooms"”a combination of shared and private"”are of average size. This has more of a hospital feel than many other places"”and there are pros and cons to this: There is a good staff to resident ratio, and the place is run in a very organized way, but the facility itself feels a bit cold and institutional. The staff members are friendly and professional. And the administration is very hands on"”and involved and interested in residents' care. Because Hadley is able to accommodate residents with higher medical needs, such as ventilator care, there are few activities offered. Some of the nurses I know swear by the food here"”and actually look forward to eating in the cafeteria. It's in a separate little area"”and there are specials highlighted daily. Medicaid is accepted. "

"My brother is in Forestville Healthcare Center. I have mixed reviews about them. I feel like it could be better aesthetically, first of all, and just a little more attentive to the patients. There's nothing lively about the room. There are no pictures. We bring pictures of the family, but the walls are just dull. There's nothing to stimulate the senses. They have a community room. They had a room that family could go and gather and celebrate my brother's birthday, and that was nice."

"Staff were very professional and residents were happy."

"Rooms are great and cleaned daily. The food is good and offers preference to residents."

"My husband has been a resident for a couple of years and especially through the pandemic. Teamwork is a definite characteristic that I would use to describe our time there. It takes the whole team for success. Within the team, we have had some favorites who helped ease the stress of just going through changes and challenges without them I don't know what I would have done. I am preparing for the day when my husband returns home this year and have learned how to take good care of him from the team which includes the other residents. My husband has a new best friend their and that means a lot to me because during the pandemic I have not been able to visit much except through the glass windows or by zoom. I am able to bring special things to him from his home team me and his cat Champion. Thank you for making time their comfortable especially now with the new management. "
