24 Nursing Homes near Rockville, MD
Situated in the northwestern portion of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Rockville is a city of 68,079 residents, where approximately 16% are over the age of 65. The city has relatively low crime and a higher than average number of physicians, making it particularly appealing to retirees who place high importance on their health and safety. Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center and other local health care facilities serve most of the city’s emergency medical care needs, while nearby Washington and Baltimore also provide a large range of health care providers.
In the city’s nursing homes, seniors are supervised around the clock by nursing and physicians and can receive an array of care services such as injections, medication management, wound care and diabetes management. At $11,726 a month, Rockville’s average cost of nursing home care is significantly higher than the national average and above the statewide median as well, which should give seniors with less serious medical conditions additional incentive to look into assisted living and home care.
This guide offers an overview of the cost of senior care in Rockville as well as resources that may help seniors pay for care and resolve issues they may encounter while living at a nursing facility. Programs that may help seniors delay nursing home placement are included as well.

Perhaps Hebrew Home was a good facility in the past, but no more. Do not place your loved one in this facility. The nursing staff does not meet residents’ basic needs, nor do they provide a caring environment. This is a harsh place, especially for people who are there because of a terminal illness. They are not capable of treating patients with care and dignity. Avoid this place at all costs.

I thought about writing this, for months now, but after what happen there everyone should know. They don’t deserve any stars. I am an RN and what happen with my Aunt everyone should know what they did.
I put my Aunt in there for rehabilitation to get her better before coming home back at the end of July. Well it instead put her in the ground instead. A women who walked with a Walker and was able to do things for herself but needed help because of her rheumatoid arthritis. She became septic while there from a UTI and c diff. I told the doctor a week and half before that she might have a uti because how she was acting. But he instead put her on medication she allergic too. Which the hospital had her allergy list so not sure how it didn’t go to them. They told her to poop and pee in her diapers. She was able to walk with a Walker but they wouldn’t get her up to go to the bathroom. She had sores on her legs because the aids and nurses weren’t carefully and blamed it on my aunt. She had a syncope episode and didn’t do anything for her but check her blood pressure but since it went back to normal nothing was check up on.
The doctor dr. Sharna say she was dehydrated so gave her four liters of fluids IV. And she couldn’t keep them up because no one thought that she would handle a heavy water bottle. What elderly patient can? Supposedly gave her 4 more litters of saline. He refused to discharge her like planned. We ended up leaving against medical care. When I got to her she was so septic and so sick from a uti and c diff that she was barely oriented and dehydrated. I took her to the hospital we’re a week later she was put in hospice because she was so septic that she could not get better. She ended up dying. If I had not taken her out of there she would of died there.

Do not put your loved one at Collingswood. My Dad was there recently and he was transferred from the hospital. He was in COVID isolation for a week and a half and we could not visit. No one called us to go over his medical care plan or his PT plan. We called and left messages and no one called us back. When we could visit Dad was left in a Depends for 10 hours and no one came to change him. He was there bc he was weak from the hospital and he couldn’t walk on his own. No one came to help him to the bathroom or even help him eat. The staff was rude and uncooperative. His discharge was chaotic. No one told us what equipment he needed after messages were left with the social workers and nurses. This place should be closer. It was the worst case experience and I would never recommend this place to anyone.

The care my mother received was awful. Initially, she lived at home and walked, showered, and dressed herself. She was discharged from there, unable to sit without support, get up, stand, walk, or dress herself and now, as a result, has to be admitted to a nursing home. They used all but ten days of her Medicare insurance days, so now no facility will accept her for rehabilitation. In addition to catching Covid in there with other patients, she had gotten a bedsore. The food was so bad she lost a lot of weight, and we had to take turns bringing her meals. None of her trays had fresh fruit, juice, vegetables, or milk. She only received tea with every meal, coffee in the mornings, and water. She was in her wheelchair when we picked her up and dehydrated.
Furthermore, we were lied to regarding her progress in rehabilitation. We were informed she was walking up to 50 feet. Patients were ignored when they called for hours at a time (witnessed). Patients that were terminally ill were also treated in this manner. We witnessed a frail lady fall on our way out, and we had to yell and run to get assistance. The nurse I told took her time to check the patient and even stopped to look in the food cart before she checked the patient. It was horrible in every way. Do not ever send your loved ones there, the care my mother received was awful.

The staff was very kind to us but there is a trend of indifference to the senior citizens. The staff will treat them respectfully but often times they will ignore certain cries of pain or discomfort coming from them. This is most likely due to their desensitization from working there too long, and it is understandable. The amenities have everything the seniors living there need but nothing more. There is a cafeteria where they will eat all of their meals, and there is a location where they have group activities. Aside from that, the people living there are mostly confined to their rooms or social areas scattered throughout the facility. In these little social areas people just watch TV or sit quietly to themselves. The facilities are clean and presentable, but nothing stands out. Overall the atmosphere there is very sterile and comfortable, but it seems very dull. I think there can be a stronger emphasis on community and group activities.

My relative was at Asbury Methodist Village for rehab. She was asking her caregiver what the medicines were for, but she couldn’t tell her. She could have gone back to the desk and found out. I think they should have better communication with their patients. The food seemed very good because my relative was a very picky eater. They were very nice to give her a menu so she could order what she wants. Setting aside some incidents, I think the staff was nice and they tried. They took steps to find out how they can work with things, and they strive for perfection. The place was beautiful and the grounds were well-manicured. It was always nice and clean. There was never an odor.

My brother is in Arcola Health and Rehabilitation Center. I won’t really call them attentive, but due to everything, everybody who’s been there, and what’s going on, I can understand. They could also give more feedback to the families with what’s going on, considering you can’t actually go in any time you want to see everybody, and you have to make an appointment. And now you have to have COVID tests several days before you visit. That’s all fine; I just feel that the communication as far as the healthcare and the services needs to be filtered down to the family members a little bit easier than you having to call to get an update on your loved one. It’s only two levels, the reception area was really small, and the administration section where they log people in is also small, but the people are nice. It’s just that if you don’t ask the question, you’d never get the answer. It’s that type of place. And if you don’t know what to ask, you’ll never get an answer. My brother is in good health and good standing, so the nurses are probably taking really good care of him.

My mother was there over Christmas and into January 2022. We chose Brooke Grove because my father was there and had a good experience years ago. Things have changed. Rude employees, unresponsive to patient requests, poor food quality were only the start. My mother is incontinent and they consistently took hours to respond to a diaper change request. They even took soiled clothing, hung it out to dry and then placed it into the drawer with clean clothing. The place looks nice, but the reality is a horror show. "Rehab" involved a walk down the hall and then back into bed. Run, don’t walk from this place!!!

My mother was here for rehab after a fall. She broke her hip and tailbone. She would wait over an hour after pressing the button for a nurse so she could use the bathroom. They never cleaned her room or changed her sheets. The food was terrible and sometimes hard to tell what it was supposed to be. When she asked for a snack she never received it. Some nurses were downright verbally abusive. Their visiting hours were horrible. Even with proof of a Covid vaccine appointments were required and then only Monday-Friday from 1:45-4:00. It was very difficult to get an appointment. My mom felt like a prisoner, not a patient.

After an unexpected life change, I found myself in the care of the Montgomery Village Health Care Center for some rehabilitation. Within 24 hours, nearly every department supervisor stopped by to welcome me, ask of my concerns, and how I should reach them for “anything”. I was well attended by the nursing staff my entire stay and the PT and OT staff put me back together with their talent, tools, and toys. A good and beneficial time. Perhaps the most comforting realization was that I felt part of the overall process and not just a product. Kind of like family. While I don’t plan on returning soon, if the need arises, I will request returning to the Montgomery Village Health Care Center. The food was good too.

They are very professional as are the rest of the staff. I found everyone to be very friendly and caring. I received my medications on time without fail and always with a smile. I felt like I was a family member. The food was excellent. I can’t emphasis enough how friendly everyone was. If I had any concerns, it was taken care of immediately. I would highly recommend Manor Care Potomac for your rehabilitation needs.

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.

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.

My father was given 9-12 months to live, from Prostate Cancer. We tried our best to keep him at home his final months. He was under the care of another facility, which was a great organization. We tried our best to keep him there, but it got to the point that my dad needed to go into a nursing home. Due to the increase of Covid cases in December, most nursing homes closed their doors to new patients. Our only option was this place. My fathers first day was traumatic. Another patient, his roommate, got up in his face, taunting him. My father was defenseless due to his condition. He contacted me, and I contacted one of heads of the nursing home. I was told the guy was harmless. That same night the guy poured water in his face. My father was then given a private room. During my stay, my father was taken care by some very nice people, and some that seem to not care. Some were slow to respond when he needed help. He was bed ridden so he could not get up and take care of himself. With my brother and I visiting regularly, it seemed to help with the attention he needed. I recommend that you do not leave your love one alone there. I would hear patients yell all the time for help, and no one would help. We had several incidents that we had to report to management. One of the more important ones was when I noticed my dad suddenly felt week and was coughing. No one on the staff seemed to notice it. I could see that it was affecting his sleep. I requested a doctor check him the next day. That morning, I received a call that my dad had Covid19, but he was ok. I told them that he was not ok, he was weak, could not talk and seemed to have problems breathing. At that point he was placed in isolation by himself, and we were not allowed to see him. My dad sounded very sad and alone, because people rarely came in that area of the nursing home, since he was the only person diagnosed with the virus. After 5 days, we were finally approved to come visit him. We requested an exemption because when we requested some kind of support care, we were ignored. So we assumed there was no one to help him mentally deal with being alone. The day I was headed to the hospital to see him on the 7th day, I was called and told he had passed away. Since then, we have not heard from anyone at the nursing home. No condolences, nothing. When he was alive, the finance department would call at least one time a day for the finance papers to be completed. Even after 2 weeks, no call from the nursing home. The death certificate was send to us, showing that the death was Prostate Cancer and Heart Failure. No mention of Covid19.

My father’s health declined precipitously in January 2022 while in the "care" of Carriage Hill. He went into their rehab unit with a broken hip and contracted multiple infections based on improper care, had to wait over 34 hours for antibiotics that were prescribed to be administered, and died in pain. There was no sense of urgency, no compassion, and no professionalism. I share this sad, upsetting, and avoidable situation to honor his death and avoid others from suffering the way my father did.

My 87 year old father broke his hip and was admitted here on June 6, 2022. Their COVID policy required him to be in isolation for five days although he was fully vaccinated and had 2 negative Covid tests. He was in bed and immobile despite family members complaining. Therapy was very minimal and he was not even put in a chair. He then developed wheezing from being immobile and was then given another 5 days of isolation even with a negative Covid test. Subsequently he developed numerous infections and has been in the hospital for 6 days. He also has blisters on his behind from being in bed. The hospital staff was appalled. When his items were picked up, the nurse asked if he would be returning. (He would be subject to another 5 days of isolation). Please be warned that this could be detrimental to your loved one.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Rockville, MD
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
