Everybody is very helpful and attentive to my needs. The staff come and check making sure I am okay. I haven't participated in activities yet since I'm still getting myself acclimated to my new environment. So far i am very happy and satisfied with my new place.
My sister has lived at Forest Hills in the Health Care Center for a while. Before the pandemic, they had wonderful activities as well as great nursing care. In the pandemic they have done an incredible job to keep everyone safe, to figure out ways to have safe activities and/or virtual or safe visitation zones (following CDC guidelines). The staff is working under challenging circumstances and they continue to be kind, patient and deliver high quality care. We are so very grateful my sister can live in such a great facility.
I have lived at Vantage Place for 9 years. Ithas been my privilege to serve on various resident committees I am very appreciative of the made from scratch meals that are served daily in our dining facilities. Daily specials included a choice of clear broth or a cream soup, several salads, a special meat or fish choice daily, in addition to choices from a seasonal menu. It is my habit to photograph dinners and send a note of thanks to the entire kitchen staff. Here is my review . “ Dinner on Tuesday evening: I neglected to take a picture of last night’s dinner. Shame on me. I am writing for a table of 6. We all had the Maryland Crab soup, Beef Tips with Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms, and the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. What a winner! Please try it again. Only constructive suggestion might be to include noodles or a starch with it. All those I talked to today were delighted with that meal!” In response to the reviews, the meal was added to the menu - with rice!

The Washington, D.C. metropolitan area is well-known for its robust public transportation system, and within city limits, it’s possible to get by without driving. In some neighborhoods, you might be able to accomplish daily tasks without needing a vehicle at all. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority operates the Metro, which consists of a rail and subway system and a bus system, both of which offer transportation throughout the city and surrounding neighborhoods. The rail system runs from around 5 am to 11 pm, and the bus often continues later, with many routes in operation past midnight. Discounted fares are offered to seniors ages 65 and older. The D.C. area also has plenty of options for taxis and rideshare services.
