10 Best Independent Living Communities in Liberty Grove, MD

My mother has been there just about a month now, and they're excellent. The personalized attention my mother gets makes her feel like she's on a cruise ship that hasn't left the dock. Every single member of the staff is exceptional. Avondell has 25 assisted living beds and I think about 100 beds of independent living. For the assisted living side, they have four levels of care and they re-evaluate every 60 days. My mother went in at the highest level of care and she gets an enormous amount of help. It's a well-done community. I do think it's pricey, I won't lie there, but it is extremely nice. My mother hasn't discovered all the activities there yet, but we've met with the activities director and they're more than willing to help her find something geared just for her.

Paramount was a good place. We had a very rocky start, but our loved one did come home better than he went in. The second night, nobody came to take him to dinner, so we had to go out and get him some dinner. Throughout his stay, we tried to get across to everyone not to ask if wants to do things but tell him it was time to go. He will say no every time but wanting to go. Like anyplace, the staff makes all the difference. Some good and some getting by.

Woodlea is HUD senior independent housing, thus the rent is 30% of adjusted income plus electric, which is all utilities. It is a 6 floor building with 100 one bedroom 500 sq. ft. apartments. It is located in Pikes Creek; a nice area outside of the city. The building is well managed and clean. Two meals are available daily at a very reasonable cost but all other personal services come from private arrangements and are not provided in-house. There is a wait list that seems to run about ten to twelve months.
