10 Best Nursing Homes in Ruhl, 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

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.

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.
