Nursing Home Communities in Hyattsville, MD

"We also visited Carroll Manor. It belonged to Providence Hospital. It was a great community, but it was more of a nursing home than my mother needed. The rooms were great. They were semi-private. They were two to a room. The staff was very friendly. "

"I have visited the Washington Center for Aging Services in the past (last year and the year before) work related meetings. It appeared to be very nice and clean. The residents that were around during the visits I made seemed to be well cared for. I have known people that placed their loved ones in the facility and have heard mixed reviews of the quality of care they were receiving. In the same month from two different families. one, according to the family, was receiving really good care; the other was ready to pull his wife from the facility. "

"My grandmother has been at Peak Healthcare - Sligo Creek for 25 days now. The rehabilitation center is pretty clean. It seems like the nursing staff cares for the patients. They were able to get some of her bed sores healed pretty quickly, which means they're attentive to them. Overall, my grandmother has been pretty happy at the place. The staff has been very friendly. She has a shared room. It's like a normal nursing home type of setup where it's not completely looking like home, but they still have hospital supplies and cabinetry. They're ordering her a special machine that will read her books for her because she's blind, and they're going to order more things for the blind to accommodate her. They have an exercise room. They have board games and other activities for the residents. They try to get some of the people who are more mobile to walk around because I do see the nurses walking them around just to see different scenery. My grandmother enjoys the food. She said the only thing she didn't like is that they are heavy on the pepper. They're kind of pricey compared to the other facilities, but I guess it's due to the quality of care that they provide. "

"This is a very, very small place but it has a huge heart for their patients. I observed one of the sisters who was simply doing her chores and very busy at the time. I could also see that there was a mother and very young child visiting talking loudly someone in a patient's room, and you could hear the child telling his mom that he was hungry and wanted some crackers from a vending machine. The mom told the child several times that she did not have the money to buy them and she was sorry. Just then the sister walked into the room and surprised the kid by giving him some peanut butter and cheese crackers. I thought it was so touching to see someone be so kind to a stranger. "

"I was transferred there from Shady grove hospital. At my arrival I wanted to look for another place But after being convicted by a staff Abdul Koroma I stayed I found the staff to have passion in what they do and will refer anyone looking for care to go there Harriet "

"My sister has been in Althea Woodland for a month now. It is smaller and we kind of like the atmosphere. The facility looks good and the staff is very friendly. She's participated in some activities, like making pizza, but so far, that's the only activity I knew since she's only been there for a month."

"I'm in Deanwood Rehab and Wellness Center for rehab. It's been good. Everybody's very nice. I have two to three therapists, and they do exercises and different things with me every day. The food is alright, but sometimes it's not here before it gets cold."

"I am a nursing student. I had the opportunity to visit this facility last year in 2011. For starters, the place smelled of stale urine upon entering the facility. You are greeted by security with the assumption that you owe them money. There was no warm welcome or accommodation. The residents were pretty nice and independent. Some were a little confused and eating out of the trash. I saw at least two staff members walk by one particular man and not mutter a word. The least they could have done was tell him to stop eating from the trash. Nothing. Once I got onto the floor, the Nursing Assistants were very rude towards the residents. Most of the residents on this particular floor have dememtia, so they probably won't be taken serious even if they tried to complain. I sent in an anonymous letter to the Dept of Health. Hopefully they are investigating. I would NEVER send my family member to this place. "

"Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home does not smell like old people, it does not smell like antiseptic, it does not smell like a hospital, and it does not smell like anything. The place is immaculate. It is so clean. They have a huge staff. I think they have 164 beds, and they have a staff of like 200. They have a lot of people attending to the patients. I went there at different times of the day, and every time I went, my mom was clean, happy, and healthy. They do not just leave people lying around in beds getting bedsores. I like the way they get them up and out into the day room where they can interact with other patients -- or other residents rather -- because they do not treat them like patients. They treat them like people who live there. The staff is very attentive like they are there all the time. They are very caring, and they treat the residents with respect and affection; I love that. My mother is very happy there. She’s well cared for, and I’m happy. She has dementia, so she does not do too much of the activities, but they do have games. They go on outings even. It is a very nice place. I am very comfortable leaving her there. The only thing I do not like about them is the parking situation. They have a parking lot, but it is very small. "

"My mother was a resident of Knollwood for many years. It is a "progressive living" facility with independent living, assisted living, and nursing care. I am familiar with five other facilities that my father-in-law has lived in and Knollwood is by far the best I have seen.The facility as a whole is large so has a lot of amenities that smaller facilities might not have - beautiful grounds, a guesthouse, a chapel, a small store, and a swimming pool among them. There are many activities and clubs. Knollwood was originally a home for the wives of military officers and WACs and there is still a strong military influence in the speakers, excursions, and activities. It is a pet charity for many Officers' Wives Clubs and other groups.My mother received excellent care in the nursing home section. She was always clean, never had a hint of a bedsore, and was watched carefully. The on-staff dietician supervises all residents' diets and observes their likes and dislikes as well as their need for assistance. I live 600 miles away so communication was very important. The quarterly care conference was conducted over the phone. I was called with questions and kept up-to-date on any changes in her condition.The only reason I did not give Knollwood five stars is because of staff turn-over. The aides and nursing staff is very stable but some of auxiliary staff especially the social workers turn over very quickly.I would recommend Knollwood. "

"I was very surprised at my last visit to this facility. Fox Chase is moving in the right direction and slowly becoming one of the best facility in Montgomery County. This facility is under new management call Peak. This facility now has a new administrator Latif this young man care so much about the residents, he listen to their concerns and act accordingly. The facility has a bunch of new staff members that seem to care about the residents so much, a new nursing manager Lynette she follows up on the needs of her resident. This young lady does not only love what she does but very passionate nurse that cares. GNAs like sharietta, Agnes in the mornings are so good with our loved ones, nurse Sowlan is such a great nurse, GNA Melcam is a very good one in the evening. The only reason I will give 4 stars is because the kitchen staff needs to listen more to our love ones, just with many nursing homes, they all have their reasons, nothing at 100%, some have issues with staffing and other administrative issues but for reason Peak at Fox Chase has managed to keep it together. Angela is another great staff at the facility doing a great job with appointments for our love ones. I just hope and pray this new set of people stay at the facility for a while and turn this facility to a 5 star. Please next time you are looking for a place for your love one, check out Fox Chase nursing and Rehab. They seem to have staffing under control. In all this facility is a lot better than couple years ago with all the changes with staffing. The residents are happy their rooms are kept clean, they engage in activities daily. Overall I believe things have improved at this facility. "

"I just love this place because the staff gets so involved with the patient and they are really all about getting people back to life. We had a family member admitted here after a major surgery and he needed some pretty severe rehab to be able to walk again. Well, they work with them here every day and if they don't want to get out of bed and exercise...THEY MAKE YOU DO IT!!! Not in a harsh way or to be mean, but to help get you back to moving. I cannot say enough good things about this rehab team and how dedicated they are. "

"What I like best about Riderwood Senior Living Community is that it's large and has a very active population, lots of activities, and a pretty campus. Several of my friends live there and they are very happy. The least that I like is its location. I've met the people in sales and we are talking about whether we want to move there. The food is quite ordinary and it's fine. They have many buildings and are all lovely."
