8 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Norrisville, MD

Mom is very happy there. There are prettier, places with more amenities but these are much more expensive. Housekeeping in common areas is good, some wear and tear noted but these are hard to keep up with. Housekeeping staff are very friendly and well liked by residents. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Quality is good....not sure what to use as parameters. Sometimes communication between staff drops which. An cause delays. There is a nice variety of meals. Not always seasoned to my Mom's liking but have to cook for all. Hard to get condiments when needed. Loves the activities and bus trips. Lots to do if you want to be involved Activities director is great!. Have had issues with being charged for care my mom was not receiving. They were open to review and discussion

I moved my parents into Lin’s after having quite a few problems at their previous home. First of all, it’s a single home and not a facility. Their staff is established; they’re easy to communicate with and get in touch with. I can call the owner Stephanie directly and I know she’ll answer her phone. I couldn’t do that with other places. [Removed] and her daughter are so hands-on with all of the residents; my mother has a bedsore and is in pain a lot and [Removed]and her daughter will get in there to help treat the wound and make sure she’s taken care of. She’s not there farming the work out to anybody. When hospice comes in, they talk to her directly. There are different levels of need for everyone, but my mom is one of the more severe cases and the staff is right there if anything happens and she needs them. They help feed her because she’s bedridden and they work with her, they bathe her, they take care of her, all before anyone else is even up. They really tend to her and they’re always looking in to make sure she’s okay. They’re well invested in the building and they’re taking care of every aspect of it. There aren’t as many people here to take care of, maybe 12-15 at night and less during the day, so their attention can be evenly spread out. The food is home cooked and must be good because my father is cleaning his plate every time! The cleanliness is even a big difference! These people take care of everything themselves. There’s some work that needs to be done on the house but they’ve been working on it. Every time I turn around they’re mopping and cleaning and it’s all right there for you to see. There’s always someone there to engage and, while my parents don’t participate, I have seen signs for music therapy and bingo. Lin’s is smaller, so you’re able to actually sit down and talk with someone face to face. They have limited capacity, but I would absolutely recommend them.

As the caregiver for my aunt, I was pleased with the warm atmosphere and the level of care given to her while she was at the Cottages at Perryhall. We experienced more one on one care at the facility compared to the larger facilities. The price was reasonable compared to some of the other facilities. To be honest, I wasn't there for any of the activities but I would have Volunteers come in and do aerobics, live band especially around Christmas time playing Christmas songs, someone doing story time, arts and crafts, church service. Not sure if they already have those activities. In regards to the food, for dinner I would give the patients a choice. Even if it's only a choice between two different meals. I have recommended The Cottages to some individuals.
