The 4 Best Independent Living in Southern Md Facility, Maryland

"I had a great experience at Brightview Columbia. The staff were all very kind and attentive, and they seemed to really enjoy their work. My mom was happy there, and we always felt confident that she was being well cared for. The facilities were beautiful and well-maintained, and there was always something fun going on. We would definitely recommend Brightview to anyone looking for a great place to live or work." - Alfredo… Read more

"They cannot keep senior managers for more than a year. No explanation was given as to why they are unable to keep staff. It’s ridiculous that every three months I go up to visit and there are new people to meet in the front office. This a very big concern to me. I wish someone would give the residents an explanation. The variety of food has a lot to be desired. Need to cut out the salt." - Holly… Read more

"Harmony may look nice, but they are intentionally misleading and do not truly care about your loved one. To them, residents are just a number and a check. If your loved one needs anything above Level 2 care, look elsewhere — you will not receive proper help with major needs. They will nickel-and-dime you for every little thing on top of what you already pay, and treat your loved one like a burden instead of a human being." - Jospeh… Read more

"Unfortunately, we had an awful experience with the staff and administration when we moved my 82 year old father with mild/mod dementia into the assisted living. They were totally unprepared to care for him and irresponsibly reassured us that they could. We had delayed and minimal responses to our concerns about how often they checked on him (he was wheelchair bound), how he was adjusting, and any issues. We noticed he was more agitated, and after a couple of months, they said they felt he should move. Of course, we quickly moved him, as we had no trust that they could take care of anyone, much less our loved one, with any quality care. And I am a healthcare professional, so it was extremely disheartening to see how poorly the residents, at least our father, was cared for. I was not surprised when I soon learned they were closing. Hopefully the next establishment will be better staffed and run." - Sara… Read more
