Nursing Home Communities in Glen Burnie, MD

"We ended up going to Encore because the price was a little better, and they also have a skilled nursing onsite. It was a beautiful place, and the rooms were very nice. It's new, and they have skilled nursing on site in a separate wing, so if there would ever be a need for skilled nursing, they wouldn't have to leave the facility, and they actually have physical therapy and occupational therapy with therapy rooms and all of the actual equipment on site. They have 24/7 nursing, so that's another thing. That there is always a nurse around the clock should something happen. And my father's primary care physician happens to have some other of her clients that are there, so she kind of visits in an unprofessional way; she visits them through her church, so she'll stop in and see my father when she is visiting people from her church. The staff members are professional, and they care about the residents and desire to do a good job. It's an extremely clean facility, there are no odors, and it is very nice. The staff seems to be oftentimes rushed, so it seems that they might be a little understaffed although he is cared for very well. I know, for example, that in the main dining room, it takes quite a long time to get served. They only have a couple of staff working to bring out the food, and apparently, they got a lot of complaints about that. But, overall, it is a very nice facility, and we've had excellent care for my father. Family can dine with them during any meal, and they can come 24 hours a day if they ever need to; if it is after hours, you are given an access code, so if you wanted for some reason to visit at 3 am, you certainly could. They have all kinds of wonderful activities that family members are welcome to join in -- like I've sat in on several concerts with the,m and it was absolutely fabulous. They've got some really good entertainment -- I was really impressed -- and they've got exercise classes and what not. My father has actually done so much, he has greatly improved both physically and mentally at Encore, and he's only been there since the end of March. He was primarily wheelchair bound, and now he is using a walker and walking. It is really good, and he's got a fairly severe heart condition, which they have to monitor very closely, and they’ve been doing an excellent job, which he hasn't had any problems; he's had no hospitalization, so they are really on top of things.

"I was at Hillhaven for rehab. I would give them a good rating. They did what they do very well, and the residents liked it well enough considering it's not home. They had several buildings there, and they had one area for independent living, which seemed OK. They did exactly what they were supposed to do and did it well. The staff was fine. I had no complaints. The only thing I didn't like was they had a complicated shower schedule. You had to go to the shower at certain times, but I wasn't there long enough for it to be a big pain. The food was OK and they were very flexible. You could take it to your room if you wanted to or they could bring it to your room. They had activities fairly often."

"The rosemary unit is the best the nurses work together and get to know the patients on a personal level Erica has been very helpful and knowledgeable with all are questions and concerns Chris in the office of the rosemary unit has also been very helpful with our concerns I would rate them both outstanding want you to acknowledge Tanya Chrissy Belva Keisha Sherry Johanna as they deal with the care of their patients everyday and their job is not easy we feel fortunate that our mom is in their Care and appreciate them more then you know "

"The facility was pretty decent. I've been in a few others before and this one was rather clean and had a positive feel to it. I happened to visit on a Sunday and was able to sit in on Sunday service. There was a small praise band that visited with the seniors to sing and worship. They were all about trying to get the seniors involved in the music and to dance or clap along with their songs. Also the employees there would walk the seniors around the facility or push them in their chairs if they were immobile while holding nice positive conversations. In my honest opinion, if I ever needed to stay in a nursing home, I would have no problem staying at Mariner Health.Another great point to mention, Baltimore Washington Hospital is only about 100 feet away. This is great because emergency service is just a short jump across the parking lot. "

"I was recently a resident in this home for 5 weeks. I received the best of care due to a broken hip and the people who cared for me were exceptional. The physical therapy staff made sure that I worked out on a regular basis and that when I was released I was prepared to go home on my own. I can't imagine going anywhere else for Rehab because the treatment here was wonderful. The nurses and the AIDS took excellent care of everyone that I saw and the activities people tried their best to keep us involved in activities that would ensure participation by all. The facility was clean and the food was served in a timely manner every day. It wasn't the greatest food in the world but I certainly didn't starve and I looked forward to my meals. If I ever need Rehab Care again I certainly will go to Marley neck."

"My grandmother is in Genesis (Hammonds Lane Center), which was a suggestion from the hospital. The staff are very good and are taking really good care of her. The rooms are fine. She is in a two-person room, but she has been by herself. The dining room is really big. The last time I went, they had someone from the church come in. "
