10 Best Nursing Homes in Octoraro, MD

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.

The assisted living staff are excellent. Caring, attentive, patient, and friendly. Parking can be a pain is the only really negative thing I would say. The room sizes are good, my mom is happy with it. The last question is not a knock on Millcroft, its just the absurd costs of elderly care make the idea of "value for the money" an impossible concept.

I am [name removed]. I came here from Christiana care hospital after knee replacement surgery. I am 84 And my husband is 88 and we live in Newark. We were asked to go to a Rehab facility for physical therapy for a few weeks. We chose Cadia because it was close to our home and it’s ambiance was pleasant. I can say without any reservation that it’s physical therapists are not only very well qualified but also very gentle and pleasant the way they treat you. Nurses too are well qualified and their aides are helpful. They are short of such staff but do the best they can with what they have. Everyone does whatever needs to be done without any constraints of their job description. For example, I got in my lunch plate spaghetti and meat sauce and being a strict vegetarian I cannot eat. I sent my husband to complain to whosoever aide he meets. He met the top director of nursing in the Hall way. She asked what she can do. When my husband explained, she said do not worry I shall solve your problem. Promptly , the chef came over and explained it was tomato sauce and not meat. Furthermore he explained to me that he was aware of my being a vegetarian, and he personally makes sure that I get the right stuff. He also wanted to know what I would like and he would make that happen. In short I am delighted to be here and shall use this facility whenever needed.
