The Best Nursing Home Communities in Montgomery County, MD

"My husband was there for a month for rehab. The physical therapists tried their best but his mental condition prevented him from grasping what he had to do. The staff were all kind and capable. The halls were decorated for Christmas and cheery. My husband's room looked out on a pleasant courtyard and he could watch people coming and going. The food was good. I had hoped that he could stay there for assisted living but they had no room."

"My sister is in Bel Pre Health & Rehab Center. They hardly are allowing anybody in the building, so I haven't had a tour of it or anything. You're allowed to go as far as the living room, that's it. It's rated 5/5 by Medicare, so it must be good. I haven't been worried. We've gotten calls from different people and I've met a couple of them briefly. The activities director is a very enthusiastic, pleasant person who enjoys working with challenging people like my sister who has a mental illness. The billing office has been right on top of everything. I got my guardianship papers and other things turned in very quickly. It was all taken care of and they're arranging for her to get Medicaid to continue her stay there. They've been doing everything they can. It's very nice. It didn't have any odor whatsoever. I didn't notice any smell at all. Everything has gone very well. If she has to stay there longer, it's OK with us. Everybody I talked to has been excellent on the phone. I have had no concerns at all. She said the food is delicious. The living room and the entrance area are very neat and clean. Everything seems fine. I have no issues whatsoever. The only thing I have had any trouble with at all (not really trouble) is the people are so busy, that they don't always answer the phone, but I've found that to be true in lots of places where she's been. I discovered the time to talk to people is later in the afternoon when everybody is finished with most of the hard work of the day. I got everybody I want to talk to one after the other when I called at that time."

"I toured the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington. I like that there is some independence. I like the social aspect. I like that they had a barber shop. The rooms were nice and spacious, and they had a common room with a piano."

"I spent two and a half months in rehab at this facility following brain surgery. I was utterly helpless and bedridden when I arrived, but the nursing staff and physical therapists were very patient and encouraging with me. Especially the physical and occupational therapists, who helped me get back on my feet, with slow and steady progress. I went from bedridden to wheelchair to walker to cane, to walking without any assistance by the time I was discharged. The nursing staff and caretakers were wonderful and caring. "

"My brother is presently staying at this facility. He seems very satisfied with the services provided. The food is good. The rooms are kept clean, and the facility seems to be well maintained. The staff is attentive and helpful. I recommend this place without hesitation."

"Bethesda Health and Rehab has made some personnel changes that are going to make the admissions process much smoother. Some people were upset with the way their process worked before but it has now added more people to enhance its quality of care. "

"My father was recently at Sterling receiving Hospice care. I understand that it was only a short stay, but I could not have been more grateful for the kindness shown to us by every staff member. He was clean and cared for, and the staff constantly checked to make sure we didn't need anything."

"All the staff was so AWESOME!!!!!!!! My dad was so comfortable with them. He loves the food and the activity. The activity ladies was so great with my dad. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!!"

"Right now, my father is at ManorCare Health Services-Bethesda because the other facility that we chose didn't have a spot right away, but he's supposedly gonna move over there this week. I think they're doing a good job. I'm not unhappy with them, I just decided I wanted him to be in the other facility, because the other one is kind of surrounded by more nature, wherein ManorCare is right beside on a busy road, Democracy Boulevard. It's sitting right on the highway, so it's gonna be noisy once the good weather happens and you can be outside. That's another reason why I thought, "Oh, let's just move him over since the other facility now have a space available." But I thought Manorcare Bethesda was fine. I thought they were very responsive. The staff there and all the different types of therapists met with him. Then they gave me a call and told me how the evaluation that they had of him and what they thought the kind of treatment he needs, and they did that right away. He was checked in on the 17th, and right away on the 18th, 19th and 20th, people were calling me and giving me updates, so I thought they were quite good actually. So far, I haven't encountered anybody that is unhappy. His dietician called me and asked me what food he likes and dislikes. They definitely take that into consideration when they're planning the meal."

"Great place and wonderfully professional staff to entrust your love ones care to. Best nursing home in the area. Very clean and smells good. "

"I was in a double room (separated by a curtain, shared bathroom).(singles & up to 4 available) My side was spacious enough with windows facing trees, and during the day, I sat in the courtyard for several hours. My only complaint was that I heard my roommate's TV shows at night. The administrative, nursing, and PT/OT staff were wonderful - very kind, gentle, attentive, and helpful. I can't praise them enough. I had 2 hours of PT/OT every day.I was there only 2 weeks, so I did not join activities, however there were many: music, bingo, religious, movies, other games."

"I was very happy with how carriage hill managed to meet all of the needs of my mother. The rooms were clean and the staff was attentive. I will admit I was nervous at first (as I had never had to send my mother to a nursing/rehab center), but I was happy to see that all my mother's needs were addressed. "

"I was doing rehab at Springbrook Adventist, and it was very good as well as the staff. The food is OK. The room was of medium size, but it was OK. There were activities, but she was busy working on therapies and getting out of it. I would recommend the community. "

"My sister is at The Village at Rockville - A National Lutheran Community for subacute rehab. We chose it because it's attractive and clean, and they took the insurance. They've been great. The staff has been terrific. The food varies, though some of it is pretty unappetizing. A lot of things were shut for COVID and haven't opened yet. They had a cafe, a salon, and a fitness area. It's extremely clean and well- maintained. Medicare is paying for it. There's a shopping center with restaurants about five minutes away. There's nothing like walking distance."
