80 Residential Care Homes near Stoneleigh, MD. Page 4

Marianne's Assisted Living has been phenominal. My mother has been there for 3 years. The facility takes them to outtings such as bowling, outdoor singing presentations. During the day time if your mom is able they go to the senior center to have interactions there. In addition occasionally they will play in house games. Cheryl is very caring and ensures all her patients are treated with respect.

The facility ca be described as a detached home that has been very tastefully refurbished and decorated. My family and I were impressed with the cleanliness, the furniture (brand new) and it has all of the up to date amenities. Mr. Benjamin has been very kind, respectful and patient with my family and my brother Melvin. His assistants have all followed his example. I have access to my brother with just a telephone call and I have been allowed on several weekends to bring him home with me for a day. The staff is very conscientious in giving my brother his medications and taking care of his other needs. They are extremely polite and patient with my brother. He's stated on more than one occasion that he's being treated very well. I hope my brother continues to enjoy his stay at Divine Care and I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to anyone.

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.
