    Clean rooms but safety concerns

    I live here. The building is clean, renovated and mostly secure; my private room is roomy with TV, Wi-Fi, fridge and a walk-in shower, and meals, activities and transportation are included. Staff are often friendly and helpful, but I've also encountered rushed, unprofessional behavior, poor communication and unreachable phones. The outside and neighborhood feel run-down and I have safety concerns. Accessibility is inconsistent-some units are single-level while others are up a tight spiral stair-and some rooms are smaller or share bathrooms despite advertising. Good amenities and cleanliness, but inconsistent staffing, safety and accessibility give me pause.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed, with clear praise for the physical condition and some amenities of the facility but consistent concerns about staff professionalism, communication, safety, and unit configuration. Multiple reviewers emphasize that the property can be clean, well-renovated, and pleasantly scented, with updated furniture and comfortable common areas. Several units offer desirable features such as private en suite bathrooms, in-room refrigerators, TVs, WiFi, walk-in showers, and onsite laundry. Dining is generally reported as acceptable, with two to three meals provided (some reviews specifically note two meals plus a snack, others three meals a day), and transportation services are available. A monthly nurse visit and available activities also contribute positively to perceptions of care for some residents. For some visitors, the location and secure feeling of the facility met expectations.

    However, numerous reviews raise significant and recurring negatives related to staff behavior and operational consistency. Reports include unprofessional or rude staff, late arrivals for tours or appointments, staff appearing rushed or unavailable when needed, poor communication, and an unreachable phone number. There are also specific concerns about staff training and certifications, including medication administration competence. These issues create a perception of inconsistent care quality — some reviewers describe staff as friendly, helpful, and approachable, while others experienced unprofessional or inattentive behavior. This variability suggests differences by shift, individual staff member, or perhaps between different units or management periods.

    Facility layout and unit-level concerns are another prominent theme. While some units are described as spacious and private with en suite bathrooms, others are cramped, priced high relative to size, and require sharing of bathrooms among multiple tenants. The property appears to include at least one three-story row home with a confined spiral staircase and third-floor rooms, which can be challenging or inaccessible for residents with mobility issues. Conversely, reviewers who experienced one-level units praised their accessibility and lack of steps. These contrasting reports indicate that physical accessibility and unit features vary widely across the campus and should be confirmed in person for any prospective resident.

    Safety and property condition beyond the immediate building are additional areas of concern. Multiple reviewers reported the presence of abandoned homes on the property plot and noted neighborhood safety issues, including crime and drug activity near the facility. Some reviewers explicitly called out security concerns and an outside appearance that did not meet expectations. These factors, combined with reports of staff communication failures and operational inconsistencies (such as services being "not as advertised"), point to management and oversight gaps that could affect both day-to-day comfort and long-term safety.

    Dining and activities receive generally favorable but variable mentions. Several reviews note that meals are provided and acceptable, with some residents participating in activities. Transportation and organized activities are available and appreciated by families whose relatives are involved. Nevertheless, one review stated there were "no meaningful amenities beyond the kitchen," indicating that amenity levels may depend on the specific building or unit.

    Patterns and recommendations: the reviews present a clear split between strong positive impressions of the physical environment and tangible amenities, and strong negative impressions focused on staff reliability, communication, safety, and unit consistency. Prospective residents should verify which building/unit they are touring (one-level accessible unit versus multi-story row home), confirm bathroom and privacy arrangements, and ask for documentation regarding staff training, certifications, medication management protocols, and emergency procedures. It would also be prudent to visit at multiple times of day to gauge staff responsiveness and to assess neighborhood safety firsthand. Finally, clarify all advertised services and pricing in writing to avoid surprises about shared bathrooms, limited amenities, or higher-than-expected costs for small rooms.

    About Eden Care

    Eden Care sits at 6900 Schissler Avenue in Woodlawn, Maryland, near Lochearn, and has beds for seven residents, so people who live there get a smaller, more personal place. The home is licensed for assisted living and covers a wide range of senior needs, like help with daily activities, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice care, and respite stays when caregivers need a break, which can make life a bit easier for residents and their families. At Eden Care, the staff is available all day and night to help with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, while the 24-hour call system and on-call support bring peace of mind with quick help if something happens.

    The rooms come both private and shared, fully furnished, and many have private bathrooms and kitchenettes, which makes moving in a little less stressful and more comfortable from the start, and the building stays cool with air conditioning, plus each room has phone and cable TV, and high-speed internet for daily needs. The dining room is a space where residents often gather for meals made with organic ingredients, and the kitchen team prepares food that matches dietary needs, including allergies and diabetes, so everyone gets nutritious meals at set times, and people don't have to worry about cooking or shopping. The staff takes care of cleaning, laundry, and housekeeping, giving everybody a true maintenance-free environment, and the community arranges transportation for doctor appointments and group outings when needed, with parking for those who drive, making it easier to get things done outside the home.

    Eden Care puts effort into social and active living, with community-sponsored and daily activities, plus adult day services to keep minds and spirits engaged; activities take place in shared rooms, and there are movie nights and group gatherings to build a sense of belonging. There's a garden with walking paths outside, so anyone who wants some fresh air or a little exercise can easily get it, and it's all wheelchair accessible, even for those who can't walk on their own. Families often feel reassured knowing the staff will coordinate with healthcare providers for things like medication management or special care, so everyone gets the right attention as their needs change. Eden Care accepts residents who need independent living or long-term care, skilled nursing, home health care, and non-medical home care, with services for both seniors and caregivers. Every resident has a care plan matched to their support needs. The facility is licensed and inspected, and does not take Medicare unless certified by government services, so payments work a bit differently from larger nursing homes. Eden Care offers several studio room layouts, and helps with move-in to smooth the transition. The home focuses on providing safety, routine, and comfort for up to seven residents at a time.
