There was nothing not to like about Frederick Living. I would wish or imagine a few more activities because there aren’t enough activities there for my needs. What was available there was not as wide ranging as I would like. Buy-ins can be half a million dollars. The accommodations there are superior in terms of the variety that’s available. I am particularly interested in being able to see and participate in cultural events like museums, theater, ballet, opera, and music. The primary thing that Frederick Living does not have is access to any other areas. It is totally rural, and if you want to get anything that’s cultural, you have to travel. That’s the primary limitation there. Otherwise, it seemed perfectly fine.

Frederick Living is a nice building for one thing. When you go in, it's not depressing. The rooms are small but as it was explained to us, they were originally single rooms and they made them double rooms. The staff is very caring and it seems like there is a good ratio of nursing staff to patients. My father needs 24-hour care. They take excellent care; my father is very well cared for. They're very nice and they're very aware. If there is something that the patient wants or needs, they try to accommodate them for us. They want people to come out of the rooms. It always seems like there's stuff that's going on. Musical entertainment will come in sometime; there was opera at the holidays. The different schools come and perform. There were Christmas programs. They just had a car show up there; they do cooking. There's a guy up there who has model trains for people who like that sort of thing. They have a priest come up from St. Mary's who will say mass. There were Easter baskets to all the Catholic residents.

Frederick Living is very nice, but it’s an older place. It has been there for quite a while. We saw one of the cottages there, and it was very beautiful. Everything there seems to be nice. They have activities, a hairdresser, a barber, and transportation to take you shopping. The food was good. I don’t have any negatives other than the main building is kind of old, but you can’t help that; however, everyone there seems friendly.

Frederick Living is well run. The staff seemed to be very well qualified. I found that most every place we went to, the room was very small and didn't have enough closet space -- not only in Frederick but in a lot of places as well. The place is very clean, and the food seemed to be good. I didn't eat there at all, but most people seem to be very happy with it. They had brought in some entertainment, and they went on trips. They have a place for people to have some exercise too.

Fredrick Living is a really, really nice assisted living facility. I knew about them through a colleague at work whose mother was in their hospice program. They have everything there except for aqua therapy. My colleague said that the people were great and it's just a joy seeing his mother being taken good care of. They had a free day so I took my father over there for a free day just to get him to see if he likes the place and the people. He loved it but he's just stubborn, he just did not want to go into any assisted living facility. I was really impressed. The staff were excellent, they were just a good, good bunch of people. They have all kinds of things for you, they took them places, they have little programs, there like a putting green for golf and they have people coming in and planning things. I'll definitely recommend Fredrick Living to others.

I am pleased with this facility in general. The staff is helpful and polite. They know who everyone is and they really seem to care. The residents there also have many areas to relax and play games and interact and they have made many friends. The facility is clean and well kept. The food is great and many choices are always offered. There are always activities to choose from such as music and opportunities to exercise including a variety of exercise classes. Day trips are even offered for those interested and able to go out and about for the day. The grounds are beautiful and we often enjoy walking to the pond with the swans. The lanscaping, especially the flowers, make a very pretty walk. Around holidays, the activities and decorations are festive. We really enjoyed the scarecrow walk through the courtyard. The scarecrows were made by residents of the facility and they all had a theme such as "The gardener" and the tractor scarecrow.
