From the outside, it looks very new, there are several outdoor spaces for the residents that look comfortable. The interior is quite welcoming, and there are several group rooms, there is an exercise area, hair spa, and daily activities. The rooms were clean, and all of the staff that I interacted with were great. During training, they took care of us, with breakfast and even left us with spa items to take home. I made sure to get information for relatives late.

Before having a total knee replacement, I considered the disadvantages of maneuvering in a 3-story…read morehouse afterwards. As a senior, I was especially concerned about falling. I checked with a friend whom I knew had hired help to care for her ill daughter. My friend highly recommended Mrs. Brown and Heaven on Earth. I called Mrs. Brown, interviewed her at my home, and gave her my care requirements. She outlined a plan of care, and we agreed on a start date. The two caregivers she selected were far beyond excellent. Both ladies were polite, compassionate, caring, thoughtful, thorough, and professional. Important to me, they accompanied me to the bathroom and stood nearby day and night. Also important, both ladies kept me and my house clean. They helped me bathe and dress daily. They cooked nutritious meals and left the kitchen spotless. They helped me track the many medicines I was prescribed for healing and pain, and they logged the medicines and times taken. One even went to the pharmacy to pick up a newly prescribed medication. My caregivers encouraged me to do the required exercises and tracked them in a notebook. If I hadn't exercised in a while a caregiver would come to me and suggest that I take a Tylenol and start exercising. After exercise, one would re-attach the ice machine to my knee. A very important task during my recovery was keeping the cold therapy machine filled with ice. The machine pipes ice water through the channels of a special compression pad on the knee. It helps control swelling and inflammation. Occasionally, a caregiver needed to go to the nearby store to pick up a 5-pound bag of ice and anything else that I needed. Everything was done with such pleasantness and a genuine caring. They spoke to me so nicely, as if they were caring for a favorite aunt or mother. They were polite and respectful of my me and my home. It was enjoyable to chat with each of them. When I worked, we evaluated employees in terms related to "meeting requirements". The highest rating was "far exceeds requirements consistently" and that's exactly how I would rate Mrs. Brown and her team.

While the care was sometimes OK to decent from Star of My Heart for my Aunt over the past few years…read more(she just passed away at age 99), it was often very bad and the owner of the agency was difficult to deal with (very pushy, always trying to just show things reflecting well on herself and not things reflecting poorly on her, and did not like to listen to input from the family or friends or even my Aunt). There was tremendous turnover of the caregivers, as Star of My Heart pays its caregivers very very little (I was told by several of the caregivers that their pay was $100 per day for living in the home and working 12 hours per day with no benefits or tax withholding, a small fraction of what we paid to Star of My Heart). The final straw was the 5 pieces of missing jewelry, including two rings with gemstones and of great sentimental and financial value. I would suggest that you also look at the Maryland court records for the owner of this business (I wish I had before). Cases including: taxes, foreclosure, eviction, drunk driving, and monetary damages. https://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/casesearch/inquiry-search.jsp
