True, parking is tight but, I took care of that by giving up my car. In the case of necessary travel to doctors appointments there is free door to door service. In normal times we can go on bus trips as far as NYC to films, opera, concerts, etc for a nominal fee. I have never seen or smelled anything bad in the dining room. On the rare occasion when a resident had an accident it was promptly and expertly cleaned up. I have never smelled anything bad. As far as the lobby staff being snotty and condescending nothing could be further from the truth. On one day, when my wife and I moved, in everybody on the staff knew us by name. In fact, I think we are coddled too much sometimes. And tipping is not allowed. At first glance the prices to buy in and the monthly maintenance fees seem pricey, but considering the great number of services and amenities it is it is really pretty much of a bargain. And there is even a fund that guarantees that if you run out of money, thur no fault of your own, you will, not be kicked out. Management rates an A+ in its efforts to keep us health in this time of Covid19 A very important intangible point, that can only be experienced by living here, is the friendship of the other residents. We have an a incredible mix of academics and professionals who are not only very friendly people who are also a joy to talk to and live with. I have made more friends in my five years at RPP than I did in my 60 years in Lutherville. Moving to Roland Park Place was the best move I ever made. I am happy to stay here for the rest of my life

My husband and I have recently reserved an apartment in the new expansion at Roland Park Place. We…read morehave had nothing but incredible attention to our needs and desires. The staff bends over backwards to accommodate in every possible way! They are even not only making it possible to have our unit reconfigured, but they are actively working with the architectural and engineering staff to do the best they can to fulfill our requests. Roland Park Place's activities, programs and events are a dizzying array of intellectual, cultural, health-building, recreational and travel opportunities par excellence. Once an apartment is reserved, the future residents are welcome to take advantage of all activities, programs, and trips. Already, we feel like we are joining a very close-knit family. We recently attended a posh reception that RPP sponsored to introduce us to many other future residents. While many current residents have aged beautifully in place having, however, slowed down quite a bit, we met lots of future residents who are vibrant, colorful, bright, interesting very active folks, many of whom bonded very quickly, discovering that we had many, many things in common. I can NOT imagine another place in which I'd like to spend my remaining years!!! A-AND I can NOT wait to move in. If you have any interest at all in a vibrant, fully alive, stimulating, convivial and beautiful retirement community, I urge you to visit Roland Park Place. They are currently having many functions to which you could be invited to get an introduction to an amazing place to live.

I have not received any such bill or invoice or statement, and now it's getting close to a month since they say they mailed that statement. I'm not paying someone who contacts me by the phone when I have no invoice or statement for it. I've tried calling their billing folks with no luck. It's ridiculous.

On 12/20/21, I went into PIVOT for physical therapy. They had me sign an "Insurance Verification…read moreForm" that listed the insurance, co-pay, and so forth. The employee at PIVOT signed and VERIFIED this information and informed me that the co-pay was $30.00 per visit. I should have paid more attention to what was on the bottom of this form. There was a fine print that said that this verification form does not guarantee payment by the insurance company and "misquoted information" is not PIVOT's responsibility. I received 21 sessions over a span of 3-4 months and each time, they asked me to pay $30.00. When I asked if there were any outstanding fees, I was told that I did not have any. Two months after my last therapy session, I received a bill (6/13/22) from PIVOT indicating that I still owe them $342.75. If I had known that the co-pay is $45.00, I would have gone to another provider. I called our insurance company, PIVOT headquarters, and the local PIVOT office we visited and they all blamed each other. The headquarter told us the billing issue should be addressed by the local Rotunda PIVOT office and the Rotunda PIVOT office told us that our insurance was at fault. I could not address this issue after lengthy talks with all three entities. I ended up wasting my time and paying the bill. I learned my lesson the hard way and wanted to share this with you so you don't fall into this loophole. Beware of the fine print on the verification form you sign at the beginning of the treatment and check with your insurance company BEFORE you receive any services. If possible, just find a more transparent and honest business around you.

My sister and I rotated visits for the 5 days of our mother's stay. I met Mr. Christian who was my mother's physical therapist. He explained goals established for my mother and on other days informed me of her progress. Ms. Carol attended to my mother's daily needs.

I think highly of my doctor Janet Conway. They had a few good physical therapists and nurses. Laura my Nurse Practicioner was very good. Kristin my PT was good. Dr. Zhou cared. The Director of Nurses Shirell did not want to give my infusions of Zosyn as directed. I was given shorter infusions and higher doses. They got prescriber permission. Shirell said, "if you needed four hour infusions you should've stayed Sinai." What a nasty person. My Neutropene count dropped dangerously low due to the Zosyn. I was put on what are called Neutropenic Precautions. What that meant was that anybody entering my room was to wear a mask. One person wore what looked to me as a lay-person like PPE. I could not fight infection. I was to go to the ER with a temperature above 100.4 degrees. I was not weight-bearing. I needed help from a tech to toilet. The tech was supposed to hand me, sani-wipes. I only had 60° of mobility in my right arm. I would wipe myself from knee to waste on both sides while standing at the walker.The tech started jiggling the box. I said to the tech, a woman named Sandra, "Are you making fun of me?" Sandra took off her mask and got into my face. She was not even social distancing. She yelled, "Are you making fun of me? Are you making fun of me? Are you making fun of me?" She proceeded to verbally abuse me. I have never been so frightened. Nobody should fear the professional staff or anybody else lin a place where he or she is there to heal. I went to the site administrator Sharon Hendricks. Executives are typically identified by first and last name. They are not restaurant servers. They are not retail clerks. Sometimes I think better of restaurant servers and clerks than I do of executives. Sharon apologized by email and said that she would have her team look into it. When I followed up, they said they did not discuss disciplinary matters. They should've self-reported to Maryland's Office of Healthcare Quality. Sandra should've been reported to the Board of Nursing. I am lactose intolerant. They ran out of the lactose tablets. I could not have my food or medication for 15 hours. They are not doing their jobs. The Director of Nurses Shirell, the nasty one who yelled at me in my own room which while I was there was my home was supposed to send me bandages when I discharged. Sharon told her to do that. And she didn't do that because she doesn't care. Why is Shirrell working in healthcare. Levindale is supposed to provide case management and that means advocating against insurance. They would not do that for me because I am no longer on site. I wanted them to assist with insurance claims and advocating for claims that were incurred on site. These people are awful. They want to mess up, dump it on the patient, and ask me to private pay. Pay these people. Never! The Levindale management team replaced the Hyppocratic Oath with, "Bleed em' dry, and let em' die." My physician Janet Conway is outstanding. One doctor said to me, "You don't like hospitals. I don't like hospitals and I'm a doctor. Do what I do with my own care. Go for the doctor and put up with everyone else." These people milk that. Patients are people. Patient Relations seldom gets back to me. When they do, they say I am using my paralegal background to bully them with the law. Good. Patients are defenseless. These people take advantage of us. People go into healthcare for good reasons. There is something called the LCR, effect. I will not write out the name. Named after the adversary fallen from Heaven. There are not enough choices in healthcare in Maryland for the Levindale team to behave as badly as they do. My plan is a Medicare advantage plan. There's something called the First Amendment. No retaliation. Pursuant to HIPAA Iyou may defend yourselves publicly. "Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants." Brandeis.

It…read morewas the middle ground between the hospital and being well enough to come home as she basically had to learn how to walk again. All things considered, our family was pleased with the facility. Not quite 100% pleased. More like 80%. Rehab/Staff: The physical and occupational therapists were fantastic. They were much better compared to the PT and OT services at the hospital. They had daily events like board games and ice cream socials which my mom enjoyed even if they were kind of lame and boring. It helped her meet people at the facility and encouraged her to leave her room beyond her PT and OT. The nurses and staff were dedicated and helpful. I remember a few nights when it was snowing the nurses came in several hours before their shift just to be on the safe side. Much appreciated! CDiff: While the rehab staff and services were great, on the flip side, my mom unfortunately became incredibly ill the day before she was initially supposed to be discharged. Turns out she caught CDiff from the patient in the room next door. Everyone in their wing of the facility were then infected. Not only did this prolong her discharge for over a week but it was so bad she was admitted to another local hospital several weeks after she was discharged because the treatment at this facility was basically useless. Food: My mom was also really impressed with their food although they didn't have the specific dietary restriction options one would expect with this sort of rehabilitation facility where quite a few people are transferred directly from hospitals. For example, my mom had to be on a very strict low sodium diet. Whenever we inquired about sodium levels in certain foods the staff was clueless. Visitors: The lounge spaces are comfortable and filled with magazines and board games for patients and their visitors. That was a nice touch. The food for visitors wasn't as impressive as the food for patients. They have a "restaurant" where you can eat and visit with your friends and family while you're there. The menu is actually pretty awesome but the system is beyond backwards. You have to go to the front desk (reception for the entire facility) and fill out an old school check (think 60's diner) with specifically what you're going to order. Then you either give it to them or drop it off at the restaurant before dinner hours. Thennnnn when you actually sit down at the restaurant the wait stuff takes your order and still seems confused given this whole process. It seems beyond duplicative. After two attempts it was too much of a hassle. From that point on we decided to bring in our own food from local restaurants and eat in the lounge with my mom. So much better! Ambiance: This place needs a major makeover. My mom is in her 60's, she's not 100. While the staff was lovely the aesthetics here are sterile and unwelcoming; particularly for those who come here from a hospital. I had to bring a plethora of things from home to help my mom feel comfortable and a bit more at home. Otherwise it felt way too institutionalized. Like a mix between a prison and an elementary school cafeteria. The recliners in each room were partially out of commission due to a fire hazard recall. Typically I wouldn't care much about this sort of thing but getting out of bed and just sitting in a reclining chair was a huge accomplishment for my mom the first week or so she was there. Not being able to move the chair kind of defeated the whole point of it being a special chair intended for rehabilitation!

I…read morealso suffered from injuries to my back and knees which remained untreated due to insurance issues between Medicare, the insurance carrier liable for its clients accident and non compliance in billing by physicians. I was in the rehabilitation part of King david nursing and Rehab facility. First, I am knowledgeable about nursing homes and health care. While serving 10 years in the agency that administers Medicare and Medic aid, I worked on special task force to develop quality standards for hospitals and nursing homes. Each nursing home must meet rigorous standards that are periodically reviewed by the state of Maryland. I also worked for over 30 years as a practicing health care attorney. 1. Wound treatment- while treatment may depend on the skills and knowledge of the treating staff person, King David utilizes an independent company that examines patients with wounds and sores, photographs and documents the wounds and includes a record of findings of employed staff and their outside vendor. I was routinely followed DAILY by the nursing staff responsible for changing dressings as KD staff applied ace bandages due to swelling from the extremities as "weeping" wounds from excess fluid in my legs , feet and other extremities resulted from the open heart surgery 2. The new KD administrator "Danny" has done much in 2.5 months. While there were rude and sometimes unresponsive employees among the unskilled employees who clean patients, serve meals and act as jack of all trades many of the worst employees have been removed. Further, I didn't find anyone not certified despite the low pay and demanding hours common with these types of jobs. 3. the overall experience was superior. The professional PT, OT, speech and other therapists were all excellent. If a person was interested in exerting an effort the professional were eager to serve them. 4. In addition to the rehab programs, KD gives daily efforts to engage residents in social activities, musical programs. Bingo, mind stimulating games and brain teasers and many assorted ways for people to socialise. The atmosphere is positive and some of the best employees are mostly low key and positive but know how to bring out the best in the residents. 5. Finally the administrator strives to be responsive to the needs of each resident. His management is reflected in the work of employees regardless of job. Indeed, two of janitorial staff separately shared their own attitudes how they viewed the job and the Organization with pride. It clearly reflected the leadership philosophy of KD. Notably the rooms are cleaned multiple times daily, the floors in the rehab section are like new and are cleaned daily while main corridors are cleaned with a heavy duty cleaning machine and trash is picked multiple times each day. At each level employees pitch in to help each other like a team. Even though in the hierarchy of each nursing home the charge nurse is the person in charge of each floor, it was not unusual to see that a charge nurse would bring food to residents even if it was the job of someone else.

WARNING: Protect the elderly King David Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Pikesville!…read more I couldn't protect my loved one, but you can. Reach out to me if your loved one suffered at King David as well. Review: Did dad leave you out of the will? Has mom lived long enough & and is ready to transition? This is the place for you! Owned by the slumlord of nursing homes, Mark Schwartz, who owns 98 other misery mills while he is probably playing golf at Mar-a-Lago. My mother came here after a severe UTI that nearly killed her. Keeping her clean and dry is not optional--it's critical. Short version of highlights to expect. - Mom received no shower, bath, tooth brushing, or any other meaningful hygiene for 8 days - unclean and unsanitary room, including floor and all touchable surfaces - painful, itchy, and bleeding IV left an additional 3 days after the last use - Mom's emergency call button was non-functional for almost 24 hours, and the bed remote wires were frayed. -mom barely able to walk or twist her body, yet was left in the bathroom alone on the toilet for 1-2 hours at a time multiple times a day as she was forced to try to clean herself. -witnessed patients fall and were left to cry out on the floor for extended periods. She had to be pulled out of this facility without a safe discharge plan, even though one was requested days prior due to these ongoing and unresolved safety hazards. She has increased anxiety from trauma from this experience, and this is just the highlights. There has been no acknowledgement or apology for the week of suffering, as not only her mental and physical state declined in their "care" Long version: This is not a few bad apples scenario. The issues are widespread and systematic and come from the top. The entire facility is filthy. Surprise, surprise, they had no supplies, so I could clean or sanitize her area. So be prepared to bring your own cleaning supplies. Dated photos taken AFTER the room was "DEEP CLEANED", which was only done following our repeated concerns being voiced to "management" regarding infection and sanitation. Staff such as Angelique are so ratchet and disrespectful that they don't even belong working at a prison, much less with vulnerable elders who need care. Other staff, such as Nakia, Nurse Karen, and Joseph, are nice, but ultimately they ALL (including doctors, social workers, and managers) still witness the filth and lack of showers daily and do nothing. Mom NEVER received a shower in 8 days. They finally came in on 4-13-26 after countless emails to management and gave her a "modified bath," which consisted of someone coming into the bathroom while she was on the toilet and washing JUST HER BACK. How does washing her back only reduce the risk of UTI infection? Then they tried to lie and say she refused a shower. NONE of the staff was aware of the level of care she needed. I had to leave a sign in her room asking them not to leave her in the bathroom after a full week of her struggling and suffering. She can barely move and has very weak muscles, yet tried to do everything she could to keep herself clean often putting herself in dangerous conditions alone with bowls of water in the bathroom as staff told her it was "too much" to help her with that. This affected her ability to participate in PT and OT as she was already exhausted from struggling to clean herself. She also drank less water as she knew she wouldn't get the assistance she needed, putting her at greater risk of infection. Be prepared to bring 75% of the food for your loved one unless they have no taste buds left. They have "alternatives" that are never offered. She spoke with a PA twice and never talked to a DR or social worker ever. She was left overnight without a functioning call bell and was told to yell "nurse" if she needed something. I'm sure your loved one choking on food can yell "nurse" right? Staffing issue: The same staff members responsible for helping patients with toileting are the same ones responsible for "passing trays". So 3 times a day, your loved one will sit in urine and feces for extended periods as they do not have proper staffing. This is not the employee's fault. This is directly the owner and managers' fault for understaffing the facility to dangerous levels. Might as well deal with the ants and small rooms at Futurecar
