Inspirations Memory Care

Everything is okay. I don't really have any concerns or improvements I would like to see. There isn't anything that really stands out, or sets them apart either. I liked the location of this community, it worked well for us.

It's clean and nicely decorated. They seem to be nice, and friendly when I go in. I see that they treat them alright. They do call me if she wants to talk. They are not the most expensive but they are all very expensive. I like the people that work there.

This community was okay. The environment seemed more like a nursing home and not like an assisted living community. It just was not as homely as the others we have seen. We didn't have time to see what activities and care services were offered.

Small one level facility with only 16 residents. Looked and smelled clean. Studio room with furniture, bath and closet. Room for a recliner to add. Good staff to resident ratio. Has a separate building for Dementia patients. More affordable pricing than the big places. I had a good feeling about this place.

They were really helpful and really good, they were pretty patient with my dad considering what they had to deal with. The only downfall I had with them was medications. There wasn't a lot of communication about what was given, when it was given or why. Afterwards I had gotten a list of medications that they were giving him and there were a couple on the list that I wasn't consulted on and after he was gone I was getting bills that they said they had given him. I called and they sorted it out once we showed them what we had and the dates we had they resolved it and were okay with that. It was a little touch and go as far as getting in touch with a particular person but once we caught up they resolved our issues and seemed fine.

A bed became available at Heart Homes in Lutherville. We are working with director regarding move in date.

Small - 16 residents. Very friendly.

HeartHomes is very nice and a possibility.

Loved the place. It reminded me alot of MorningSide House of Friendship. I fear the place would raise the price every year if not more often.

Nice. There wasn't much activity at the time. The rooms are nice. The outside is fairly large.

This review is for Woodlands Assisted Living on Windlass Drive, located in the Middle River area of suburban Baltimore. The people there were wonderful to my father-in-law who needed extra care. They really kept an eye on him. Because of being a fall risk and having other problems, he spent a lot of time in the beautiful and sunny porch-like room with other patients, where the aides were quite attentive and so pleasant. They helped Pop to eat and made him as comfortable as possible. We visited during the week and on weekends, unannounced, and always found him clean and well cared for. I would recommend this place.

It's a ok place.

This was okay. The associate was not available when we first arrived, but the room was okay. This was a little out of the way of our preferred area.

Not a fair comparison as I gave very short notice for my tour. However not the best fit for my mother. Too far from family, with small rooms and limited services for us.

Huge issue with med management.

Actually, director was not there to greet us however one of the assistants was very kind to show us around and it wasn't until we had gone to the Assistant Living building the the RN phoned and asked us to return to the dementhia building where she gave us an overview of HeartHomes. I was a little surprised as the dining facilities for the residents in the dementhia bldg. was less than bare necessities, and the dining area for the assisted living had table cloths and look a little warmer. I just couldn't see her there. In the dementhia living space there was a little odor too. She was very informative about the home and stessed that this wasn't a Brightview but that they were loyal to their residents such as when they needed to go on Medicaid and if they got so sick they could stay there and hospice would come to them. Which I thought was so wonderful. Kudos to them!!

Like location

Overall not a bad experience per se', but there were quite a few things that were not told to us when placing our loved one here... We had to ask about things along the way that should have been told to us prior to placing her there... Also there were things we were told would happen within the first 30 days of her being there, that has still not been completed... Walls have not been painted, carpets have not been replaced...

Actually my Dad has stayed @The Woodlands 4 times now since last October 2013. The last 2 times we as his children were disturbed by the condition that we found him in when we visited to spend time. My Dad lives with my younger brother and his wife and we chose The Woodlands as respite care during vacations and such. We will probably go back to our original list from A Place for Mom and find a new place for him to go for respite.

We just didn't like the feel of it. From the staff that we talked to and the staff that was milling around outside we just weren't comfortable with the situation. The staff outside, I guess they were on a smoke break, and you can hear what they're complaining about and talking about and it was just like no, mom's not going to be living here.
