Mom enjoyed living there. Mom's every need was addressed. The people who work there are the most warm, caring, & understanding people we have ever met. We never had to worry whether mom was being taken care of. We knew she was. There were many activities that kept mom busy & we were always included in everything that mom was involved in. We enjoyed meals with her regularly & when mom was no longer able to feed herself, there was always somebody helping her. Mom's time spent there was the best way a person could spend the final stage of their life - right up to the last day. Thank you for all that you have done. Terry B.

I remember when we first moved him in I thought the place was like a very nice hotel. They have beautiful common areas like an outdoor fountain and fireplace, a bar, several lounges and dinning areas, a movie theater, and game areas. They do happy hour for the residents where they can have beer or wine and hangout together chatting or singing. We've joined my grandfather for dinner a few times and it was always good, albeit with a lot of the expected soft textures. Snacks and refreshments are always available. They even have cookouts for some holidays and invite the families of residents. They encourage family involvement, my uncle is a certified volunteer and visits all the time and helps with programs. We often take my grandpa out and there's never been any hassle. They continue to provide excellent care for their residents.

Beware. And do your due diligence before placing your loved one in this assisted living facility…read more There are a lot of bells and whistles, false promises about the care. My mother was in the assisted living area and she only lasted 3 weeks. The care she received was negligent. She had 1 bath during that time of the promised 1 bath a week and her medications were always late or forgotten and she was ill due to the negligence. Laundry was not washed and she was not checked on frequently as they proclaim. As her daughter this was very disturbing. I found I had to call several times a day just so she could receive her meals. If I was not present on a daily basis I am not sure what would have happened to her. My advise is to do your research, talk to the residents and family members. Two other families moved out prior to our move stating the same concerns.

I have been to other facilities and the individuals living there were just sitting around doing absolutely nothing. At Arbor Terrace it was a great deal of fun, togetherness and interactions going on. We were looking for a facility of my nephew's mother, but to be honest, I would put myself in that facility.

I and the rest of my 91 year Mom's progeny are very grateful she decided to retire from New York…read more nearly ten years ago before Mom thought she was ready for a retirement community. She chose to buy into Collington Life Care Community http://www.collington.com/ [non-profit CCRC] in [Mitchellville/Bowie, Md] in suburban Washington, D.C. Right away Mom plunged into lots of activities, planted the garden around her gracious cottage, took exercise and literature classes from Prince Georges Community College, on Collington Campus, and made friends with other active retirees and the very caring staff. She didn't partake of birdwatching, vegetable gardening, swimming, nearby golf courses, and some other outdoor activities. She chose to take on leadership roles in the Collington community and delivered Meals on Wheels. http://keepingupwithcollington.org/ When she broke her hip she was received rigorous and effective rehab while temporarily resident in the health center. When we 'made her' give up her car she was able to get to the Metro, shopping, doctors' appointments, Kennedy Center, Arena Center, and more via the Collington shuttle. When she had a small stroke she again moved back to he health center to receive rigorous rehab. Now she is back in her cottage, this time with a few hours of aides to help keep up her activities. Now as we spend more time walking the halls and grounds with her it's so gratifying to encounter numerous friends among the residents and staff who cheer on her recovery. I wish such stimulating, safe, and nurturing communities would be accessible for the growing upcoming senior population.

My very active mother, from Annapolis, Maryland, entered the Collington Community at 84, 6 years…read moreago. She lived in a beautiful cottage where birdwatching, gardening, music, walking her dog and making new friends filled her days. Using Collington transportation she had season tickets for the opera, the symphony, Arena Theater as well as enjoying many other cultural events at Collington and beyond. My 3 siblings and I fell in love with Collington's embrace of our mother and willingness to allow us to fully participate in Mother's life. In many, many ways through the years it became obvious to us that Collington valued its residents and wanted to encourage family involvement. The fabulous Sunday brunches, instituted by the head of dining services, Eli Ayoub are one of many examples. On any given Sunday one sees dozens of families, including children, grandchildren, even great-grandchildren enjoying the brunch together, feeding ducks on the lake. In these past two years, after a nasty fall, our mother was confined to assisted living. The care she received on Chesapeake was always compassionate and respectful. We grew to love each and every one of her caregivers. Again, we were encouraged to be there as much as possible. When the final days arrived our large family did vigil for a week. Instead of encouraging us to limit our visits, Eli arranged for a large hospitality tray to be delivered outside

Review for Arbor Terrace Fulton MD: Absolutely beautiful facility and the leadership team and most…read moreof the staff are very pleasant. Do not move in to this facility should you or your loved ones need Memory Care. The staff isn't trained and the residents suffer neglect. Most of the time when you enter Memory Care, the residents are watching TV and the staff are on their phones sitting behind them. We lasted 2 months in Memory Care before having to move out to find somewhere safe for our loved one to be. Assisted Living is good there, but don't plan to transition to MC...at least not in the Fulton location. We were so disappointed, but it was clear that both the leadership team and the staff are lacking in their ability to ensure proper care for those residents unable to speak for themselves. And on a side note, the chef can't cook and the food is terrible.

This was a horrific place for my mother in-law…read more After moving her into memory care, my adult children went in to visit their grandmother and noticed that the employees took advantage of my mother in-laws lack of short-term memory and stole her nice wood picture frames. They left the pictures and the cracked glass which were cherished pictures of her deceased daughter and husband. Also, an antique embroidered chair was stolen and replaced with someone else's cheap chair. The employees stole her pretty bed comforter and replaced it with a Disney princess comforter. One of her nice jackets was washed and shrunk so it could fit a baby, they don't read the labels they wash everything together if it just happens to be dropped into the basket by error. If you decide to use this facility to place your mother in for her last days of life YOU will regret it. Don't bring ANYTHING of value into that HELL hole it WILL go missing or become damaged, including your mother. For all the thousands of dollars that one pays for your loved ones "memory care" there is NO care here. While visiting her, I witnessed a male resident enter right into her room, my husband and I had to chase him out of the room. The staff knows full well the dementia residents cannot remember where their own rooms are, yet they allow male residents in the same wing as female residents, this should not be allowed. The aides allowed my mother in-law to fall out of her wheelchair and she broke her arm and hip, she was sent to the hospital and had septicemia from an undiagnosed UTI, obviously they hadn't changed her Depends for hours. She never went back to that horrific hell hole she went to paradise to be with Jesus Christ.
