From my visit, not only do they CARE about their residents, but the food is very good. I ate with my church friend who recently moved into her new apartment, which is huge. We were told we could order whatever we wanted from the menu to sample different things. The food was all very good. The chef visited our table, and he was pleasant and interested in our experience. So happy to see everyone so involved in the program after the meal. The live music was very good and many joined in. What a great experience I had.... Read more

Overall I had a great experience with this community. We were in a tight spot in our search when we found them and they really worked with us to try and help us out. One employee in particular, Bruce, really pulled for us and went the extra mile to help us. This is a very well run community, from the management down to the caregivers, and they do a great job keeping the residents active and happy. They're very good about communicating all the different things they have going on, and announce them community-wide so that everyone can be involved. The food is also very good, it is delicious and they do a great job with the serving and presentation of the meals.

After a period of adjustment, things are going very well for my friend at Montgomery Park. He has all his needs taken care of and still has his independence, which is a very good combination. This was a very good e decision for him. He is involved with many of the activities, especially the lectures and studies. He has made some friends who also have an intellectual bent. He told me recently that has gained a lot of respect for older people now that he knows people who are, like him, sharp and active.

Not really assisted living. No nurse. Seemed short staffed, poor manager literally running all over the place to answer call buttons.

Most of it is favorable, she's having a few issues, she can't get anyone to hang her pictures or things like this. What was presented to us is not what she found. It's a little more difficult to get transportation, they did work it out, but it was not the way it was presented. The food fluctuates. I haven't ever heard her complain that it's bad. Sometimes it's better than others. The people who do the food service are just excellent and she raves about them. It was presented that they would go around and introduce her to people in the dining room for her first week to help her adjust and get to know people, and they did not do that. She was so taken with it the location it was close to stores, with a beautiful view of the woods and the deer and you don't get the noise from the road. Every one was so friendly and the rooms were lovely. She didn't even want to look at anymore

It was awesome, the food, the cleanliness, the management was wonderful. A couple of things happened and I thought everything was professional and I just think it's wonderful, in fact I would recommend them. They were really good as far as activities, they were trying to include her but mom's not very social; I am, so I made some friends over there but people really liked the activities and the activity director was really nice and she was really supportive.

We did have lunch with them and had 2 - 3hour conversation with one of the resident managers. Grounds are beautiful along with the facility. Strictly an senior living community with some PT/OT on site, but no step down to assisted arrangements can be made at this location.

My wife was the one who chose Montegomery Park and she chose it primarily because of it's location, value, services offered, and the people [staff & residents.]

It was so nice, I want to move in myself, and the Director was an angel masguerading as a professional, or was that a professional behaving like an angel - I guess either way it was a great experience.
