    Compassionate dementia care with issues

    I placed my loved one here and, although the facility is larger than she expected, the lovely grounds, clean rooms and attentive, compassionate staff - plus strong leadership and excellent Alzheimer's/dementia care - gave us real peace of mind. Activities are encouraged and residents are treated with warmth; my loved one made a complete 180. A few staff seemed unhappy at times and I noticed occasional cleanliness/pet-policy issues, but overall we were very pleased and would recommend checking it out.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these reviews is predominantly positive, with strong praise for clinical care—especially memory care—and frequent comments about a beautiful, well-maintained community and caring staff. Multiple reviewers single out the facility's Alzheimer’s and dementia programs as excellent and describe dramatic clinical and quality-of-life improvements for loved ones, including cases described as a "complete 180" in functioning or mood. Several summaries emphasize that residents feel loved and cared for, receive attentive and compassionate care, and that the environment provides peace of mind to family members. The community and grounds are repeatedly described as attractive, and individual rooms are called "wonderful."

    Care quality is one of the most consistent strengths noted. Reviewers repeatedly mention attentive, sensitive care for people with special needs and high satisfaction with the outcomes. The memory care program receives particular acclaim, and multiple reviewers describe exceptional, life-improving results. Phrases such as "exceptional care," "treated well," and "worth the effort" recur, indicating that clinical and day-to-day personal care meet or exceed expectations for many families.

    Staffing and leadership receive mixed but generally positive feedback. Numerous reviews praise friendly, caring staff and highlight supportive leadership — with specific appreciation for the Director of Nursing, the Marketing Director, and an administrator described as "wonderful." These accounts portray staff who are available, helpful, and engaged with residents. At the same time, a notable minority of reviews describe unfriendly or unhappy staff, or staff perceived as unhelpful and uncaring. This creates a pattern of inconsistent experiences: while many families report warm, compassionate interactions, others report negative encounters serious enough that they moved their loved ones out of the facility. This contrast suggests variability that may be related to particular shifts, teams, or time periods.

    Facility cleanliness and size are both mentioned in positive and negative ways. Several reviewers explicitly describe the community as clean and the rooms as good, while at least one review raises cleanliness concerns. Similarly, the property and grounds are praised as lovely, but a few reviewers note the facility is larger than some residents prefer—something that may affect choice depending on individual comfort with larger campus settings.

    Activities and resident engagement are referenced positively: residents are said to interact with staff and be encouraged to participate in activities, contributing to social engagement and feelings of being cared for. However, activity programming is not described in detail in these summaries, so while the tone is favorable, specifics about frequency, variety, or quality of activities are limited in the available comments.

    Dining is not addressed in these summaries. There are no explicit mentions of food quality, meal service, special diets, dining environment, or dining-related concerns, so no conclusions can be drawn from the provided reviews about the dining experience.

    Notable patterns and concerns: the strongest, most consistent positives are the memory care outcomes, the compassion exhibited by many staff members, attractive grounds, and overall high satisfaction among many families. The primary areas of concern are inconsistent staff behavior and occasional reports of lapses in basic care tasks (for example, incontinence care), plus isolated cleanliness complaints and the perception by some that the facility is too large or otherwise not a fit. There is also at least one mention suggesting issues related to pets. Because experiences vary substantially, prospective residents and families would likely benefit from direct questions during a visit about staffing consistency across shifts, incontinence care protocols, cleanliness standards and audit processes, pet policies, and room size/options. Visiting in person to observe staff-resident interactions and asking to speak with leadership (e.g., the Director of Nursing or administrator) would help clarify whether the facility’s strengths align with a family's priorities.

    About Presbyterian Home of MD

    Presbyterian Home of MD sits in Towson, Maryland, and serves as a large senior care center with up to 78 assisted living units and 22 level three beds, offering different levels of care so people can get help as their needs change. Residents can find independent living, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, nursing home, hospice, home care, long-term care, and respite care all within the same community. The building has three elevators and two emergency generators, which helps with safety and access for everyone, and licensed nursing staff and awake staff are on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help with emergencies or ongoing care needs.

    Meals are a big part of life here, with home-cooked food served every day, usually three dishes per meal to pick from, and the chefs and meal planners try to make sure residents get a balanced diet, even making special adjustments for those with diabetes or high blood pressure. Residents can also get one or two prepared meals each day as part of the meal program, and there's a focus on dining together so people can socialize during mealtime. The community says it offers some of the best dining experiences for residents, and staff work hard to handle dietary needs.

    Memory care is available for seniors living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and this care happens in a secure area built to keep residents safe from wandering and confusion, using tools like alarm bracelets, plus there are costs for this that are much higher-about three times-for seniors with advanced memory problems. Doctors, nurses, and support staff are there to provide medication reminders, high acuity care, incontinence care, diabetic care including insulin shots, and to help non-ambulatory residents using mechanical lifts if needed. Visiting health professionals come in too, like dentists, podiatrists, therapists, and geriatric psychiatrists, so folks can get a lot of their medical needs taken care of on site, and there's even pharmacy support.

    Laundry and housekeeping services are available, with trash removal, linen changes, and maintenance included, and residents can use their own laundry facilities if they want, or let staff handle it. People can choose what fits best, and that makes things easier for those who don't want to do chores. Transportation takes residents to doctor's appointments, shopping, and faith-based groups, which helps keep people connected to their favorite places.

    There are apartment-style units in studios, semi-private, or two-bedroom set-ups, and residents can use indoor lounges to chat or relax, with activities sprinkled throughout the week, from music therapy and animal therapy to art, movie nights, devotional services offsite, fitness classes, games, and even evenings where everyone gets together for social fun. Amenities include a fitness room, book room, salon, hot tub, and outdoor spaces for fresh air; there's also a focus on movement and socializing to keep everyone active and involved, with regular exercise and fitness programs right at the center.

    Security and care for people who might be at risk of elopement or falls are important, and the staff tries to create a safe, welcoming environment, with people often mentioning how friendly and kind everyone is. There's no community or buy-in fee, and for short-term stays, the respite fee is $160 per day, and the community accepts private pay, social security, veterans' benefits, and insurance. The Presbyterian Home of MD wants to create peace of mind by offering a safe, respectful, and caring place where seniors can find the right support for their needs.
