Mom has Alzheimer's and I'm her primary caregiver; we live together. I've used 3 different agencies…read morewhen I needed additional help. My experience with the first two agencies was frankly terrible, and it drove me to put in a LOT of effort and time into finding individuals I could hire directly. But when my own knee surgery resulted in a short-term need, it seemed a good opportunity to try another agency. I'm so glad that I did! Assisting Hands is now part of my long-term strategy for making this care arrangement work as long as it possibly can. A geriatric care manager -- in a position to know about many different agencies -- recommended Assisting Hands to me. From the start it has been a significantly different and better experience than working with other agencies. They are large enough to truly have their act together, yet small enough to be incredibly personable and accessible. Their caring, responsiveness, flexibility and efficiency are truly fantastic. They get the big important things right: they ask smart questions and truly listen to your answers to try to find people ideally suited to your needs; they have a large pool of truly qualified people to draw from; they work really hard to have one caregiver cover as many of your requested shifts as possible even when it's a non-standard, changeable schedule; they don't pressure you for more hours than you need, nor pass you from one administrator to another every week; they don't artificially jack up prices when they hear desperation in your voice or shame and blame you when a caregiver doesn't fit your needs. They also get the secondary details right: they are always reachable, their response time is incredible, their nurse does an intake in the least obtrusive way possible and even then only when required by Maryland state law or the tasks involved, caregivers can login via an app that utilizes GPS for an efficient time card system, they can help with longterm care insurance reimbursement, and paying invoices is a snap online. I really couldn't ask for more. They get my highest recommendation...and my continued business!

My mom has lived at Kensington Park for about six months and I have nothing but the best to say…read moreabout the community, facility, amenities, and staff. A few reasons we chose it over other assisted living properties and are absolutely thrilled: 1. They treat residents like adults with activities and services that are appropriate for adults who need help with daily life. Several properties I visited treated residents like preschoolers (crayons, glue, and glitter). Aging with dignity is top of mind here. 2. Staff is warm, caring, patient, kind, and very mindful that this experience is about the whole family. 3. The dining experience is a restaurant-quality one, not institutional. Food is outstanding and the wait staff are beyond professional. Everyone here loves their job and it shows. 4. Communication is clear and frequent. I asked a million questions our first few months and every single one was answered with a lot of information and a smile. 5. The property is beautiful and impeccably maintained. There is no hospital smell or feel--this feels very much like the nicest private home you've ever visited. It's comfortable and feels like a place to live, not a warehouse to wait to die. 6. Medical care has been top-notch. The onsite doctor returns calls and emails quickly and is always friendly. Onsite therapy is great, too. 7. There is no hard sell here. If it's a fit for your family, you are welcome. If not, you're encouraged to find the perfect home for your loved one. Too many properties give the big sales pitch at the tour, complete with "If you sign today, I can waive..." This is healthcare, not a used car lot, and it was a tremendous relief to find honesty and professionalism in the sales staff. 8. Residents are friendly and very welcoming of new neighbors. I have loads more I could say about Kensington Park but it has been the perfect fit for my mom and our family. This is what assisted living should be. Highly, highly recommend.

My mother is in the Memory unit at Kensington Park. She's getting very good care, around the clock…read more She likes the food a lot - much more than what her in-home caregivers used to prepare. There are musical performances and other cultural and healthful activities. It's difficult for anyone to adjust to a new environment, and even more so for an elderly person with dementia. The Kensington Park staff do their best to welcome and acclimate new residents - which, with the added problem of Covid, is a challenge. They are kind and attentive, dealing with irritability and other behaviors with grace and patience. The management is very open to communication from family members and every issue is addressed. Visits from family members are easily scheduled. It's a good place.

I called several home care providers who told me it would take as many as five days to find care givers. I needed someone to drive me home and begin care the next day. We Care could provide what I needed. They helped me complete the necessary forms, line by line. I was extremley anxious about being home. Diane and Sonia were able to support and encourage me through my anxious moments. They provided both physical and emotional support as I adjusted to being home. In addition, all my laundry was done, my bed changed, dishes washed, and my meals were prepared. They both went "above and beyond". I valued their companionship as I adjusted to being on my own. They became like surrogate family members, and I appreciate their caring and kindness above all.
