Nursing Home Communities in Rockville, MD

"My husband is at Sterling Care Rockville Nursing. It's a three-floor facility. The first floor has the dining area, the physical therapy, and the offices. They have a dining room, and when they have different activities, arts and crafts, singing, or movies for the residents, they have it in that same room, they just move the tables out of the way. The grounds are well-manicured and well-taken care of. They have different areas where you can go and sit. There are tables where we can play games and everything. Since so many people come to visit the residents, there's not a lot of parking right there. But they have made arrangements with a Christian church that you pass before you get to Sterling, and so you can park in their lot and then walk down, which isn't too far. The staff are always on target. Every time I call in the morning to check if my husband is washed and dressed, and in his chair, they always say that he is and that he's ready to go to physical therapy. One time my husband wasn't up, and they said that he just wasn't feeling well enough to get up then, but he was washed and dressed. The food appears to be good. He always cleans his plate, so I assume he enjoys it. For activities, they have movies and documentaries, and they have games for people to play. And then they have a lovely walking path if you want to go out and walk around in the sunlight. There's a tree-covered area, too. "

"We chose Collingswood Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center because it has dialysis and my mother needs it. They're very clean and they have the schedule that they follow. They also interact more with the patients. My mother is getting dialysis, it's her first one yesterday, she said it was really good and everybody seems very professional. They also have physical therapy so she just feels very good about it. She's very comfortable in her room, has a closet and a phone which other places don't have. It also feels like a home setting for her so she likes it."

"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."

"I was in a crucial point in terms of my husband and I wanted to move ahead of any crisis. I want to make the move the next best thing we were doing in our living arrangements. We lived in Rockville, Maryland at one time. But what was available at The Village was not the size that we wanted. We could have gone in there to a smaller place and then waited for a larger spot to open, but my husband felt the room was very small. He spends a lot of time inside rather than outside, so I do not want him to be uncomfortable. And that was sort of the deciding factor. "

"I was at Shady Grove Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for a little while. It's very, very good. They have an excellent rehab department with very well-trained people running it. They had a lot of different types of equipment, and I really went into a very speedy recovery because of that. I would highly recommend their staff. Everything was clean and organized. I was very happy there, and I did very well there. The menu was really good."

"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 was at Sterling Care Bethesda. The nurses were wonderful, but the aides leave something to be desired. There were some aides who were wonderful and there were some who were not so wonderful. They could improve on some of the foods, too. The food was kind of the same and it was dull. Sometimes, there were things that I just couldn't eat. The breakfasts were really bad. I need a carbohydrate that's sweet, and I never got that. However, the physical appearance of the facility was nice and very good. It was nice. There was a beauty salon, and a podiatrist came twice while I was there."

"My mother was a resident for a few weeks at Manor Care on Democracy Blvd., Bethesda. It was staffed by professional, pleasant, caring and upbeat caretakers. They paid attention to details that help promote health and healing, were kind and had a positive, supportive attitude. Rooms were large, airy and clean. There was a lovely outdoor garden for residents and visitors. The food was good. We felt that this facility was a good choice and that everything worked together to help my mother regain her strength and return home. "

"My husband has been at Manor Care for over two weeks. The therapy team has been very professional, friendly, and helpful. I have seen great strides over just a short period of time. I can't speak for all of the nursing staff but on the wing where my husband lives, the staff has been kind, prompt in responding to requests and very patient in dealing with a patient who, at times, has not been the most cooperative. AJ, who I believe has the title of facilities director, could not have been more helpful and our social worker, Jay, was an absolute joy to work with. Though the travel distance for me was horrendous (and I have been with my husband everyday), I would not have traded a closer facility if it meant a lower level of care."

"I chose Manor Care because of its location and the rehab facilities. About the rooms, I wouldn't say it's spacious but its comfortable. I haven't tried the food there as my father hasn't moved in yet. Our other relatives are still deciding if they should go for Manor Care or look for some other facilities. "

"I have now used Carriage Hill on two occasions with my mother who did her rehabilitation with the facility. I have found Carriage Hill on both occasions to be both professional, knowledgeable courteous and caring for my mother. All of the staff treated my mother with dignity respect and were a pleasure to work with. The nursing staff all cared and showed that care everyday. I know because i was there everyday. The management staff are very knowledgeable and support and were very helpful in providing guidance for my mothers transition home. Outstanding facility."

"Asbury provides my wife and me with security without the cares of home ownership. We are completing our seventh year in a Villa. During this time of Covid we especially prize AMV's 134-acre campus. It a certified arboretum with open space and two ponds. Deer, birds, squirrels, and other wildlife abound. We love being able to walk freely around this campus with little risk of infection. My wife tends flowers in front of our Villa and cultivates vegetables in a garden plot across Russell Avenue. She is faithful to her yoga classes, while I routinely swim laps in Asbury's 60-foot indoor pool. Both of us take part in small-group social activities, many of them outdoors, with our Villa neighbors. Asbury has proved to be a comfortable haven for us."

"My sister is in rehab at Wilson Health Care Center. She's very comfortable where she is, but she has not been there very long. Her room is OK. She likes having people around her all day. The caregivers are OK, but my sister is difficult."

"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!!!!!!!"
