My father's call button did not work; when he was discharged his prescriptions were submitted incorrectly and then canceled, so we had no way to access his critical medications; follow-up care, which was supposed to be arranged by them, was delayed by days. Importantly, as we tried to deal with this cascade of issues, no one answered the phone or would reply to an email. Completely irresponsible, and unworthy of the people who do the bulk of the labor there every day.

Seabury at Friendship Terrace is a nice place to live, except for the quality of the food. The food…read moreis so awful that dinner conversation is often limited to complaints about the food, not the usual dinner stuff. They think nothing of serving potatoes, rice, and pasta in the same meal, meats are tough and have no gravy/sauce, instead of broccoli florets they serve the stems, and spices or herbs are never used. We have three menus. A weekly menu handed out at the beginning of each week, a menu from which we choose our food at lunch and dinner time, and the unnamed menu consisting of whatever is available, which is often not what was listed in either of the other two menus. The waiters are excellent, friendly and helpful, and even they recognize the poor quality of the food. The food situation is very unfortunate, since the place could not have a better location. Two and a half blocks from Metro and Whole Foods, two blocks from the public library and CVS, also about the same distance from Target (which also has a CVS, so we have two within walking distance), The Container Store, and Ace Hardware; still very much a residential area with 100-year-old houses that have gorgeous gardens and huge, ancient trees. Several churches are within walking distance, as well as a few restaurants (Indian, Middle Eastern, Mexican). Residents are quite diverse and friendly. Some of them have been here for years and are always cordial and helpful. I wish they would do something about the food! My understanding is it used to be good, and when I first came it was still fairly so. I have no idea what happened.

I've toured several senior residences in the DMV with a view toward my golden years. Seabury has a classic (and classy :) ) design and modern amenities. The constant care of the building is visible in freshly painted corridors and apartments, clean and fluffy carpets and polished wood. The apartments are cozy and bright due to fresh fixtures and floor to ceiling windows and have great walk-in closets.Workers were on duty during my tour making the latest updates! The residents seem relaxed and content enjoying gardening, soaking up sun (there's a sunroof!), walking around the lovely residential neighborhood and gathering in groups for games or friendly chats. Scheduled of interesting activities are posted everywhere. I'd love to live there.

Meals are not nutritious, too many carbs & too low protein, nor are they flavorful. My mother has lost weight in the three years she's been a resident because she won't eat what's served. During the COVID pandemic, Five Star has made money by not providing what residents are paying big bucks for. The socially distanced activities are poor. They should be ashamed offering hallway bingo, hallway mixers & a rolling library cart for months! And, these boring, unimaginative & unstimulating activities are provided on alternative floors. Residents go for weeks with nothing. They're also saving money by scaling back the menu & having residents preorder. Much less waste, no serving staff, etc. Attempts to improve conditions have fell on deaf ears. To add insult to injury, Five Star has declined an offer for FREE on-site COVID testing of residents provided by Montgomery County. No reason was given.

This is my review from 1/7/11, when it was under different ownership and had a different name:…read more I just moved my mother into the Classic Residence a few days ago. It is absolutely a fantastic place in every way: the staff (*terrific*, numerous, always available, extremely patient & accommodating), the food (really delicious & varied), the programs (*300* activities per month), the interior (gorgeous & soothing), the physical setting (lovely & wooded, yet very convenient) and the general overall ambiance. The rental cost is undeniably very pricey in order to pay for all of the aforementioned, but we're very relieved that my mother can manage to afford such a pleasant situation at this stage of life.

The Capitol Commons building is not well maintained on inside. the male manager can be very…read more unpleasant & NOT VERY NICE. Maintanance staff looks and act unprofessional. Maintanance does not do a good job at all. The Owners of this property live in Tennessee & do not come to regularly to check on things. We have lived here for 15yrs. It had gone down for sure. Our suggestion is: If you love your loved one weather they are seniors or physically challenged what ever you do, DONT let them live at Capitol Commons Apts please! This property can also be very unsafe & scary at times, many here are afraid to report anything we assume. This property needs new Owners who care about the seniors & physically challenged tenants here. The outside is kept up to give the appearance, however the inside incl some of the units needs work.

The Maple Heights facility on Georgia Avenue has become a horrible place for the elderly. It seems…read morethat all of the improvements the Executive Director made over the last 2 years has been wasted because of workers who have terrible attitudes, who don't want to be there, and are simply not doing their jobs. The level of care and maintenance has deteriorated significantly, especially among the most vulnerable residents on the dementia floor. These residents need the most care, yet this is the floor with the least amount of consistent quality care and maintenance. They are clearly understaffed, and this has made it difficult for even the best workers to deliver appropriate levels of care consistently. It seems as if this once sought-after facility set itself up for failure. Families and, sadly, the vulnerable residents are paying the price daily. At this time, I would not recommend this facility to anyone.

The Nurses here are all welcoming and .proficient front desk is also very helpful get number to wellness center so you can talk to nursing or even text. It's very important you take an active role in their care or if there is poa they must get involved I have been amazed at learning of conversations I'm told I have hadthat never occurred with people who don't regularly work here and I was gas lighted and told it happened by nursing" leadership" my memory is better than most here. But I'm still told things happened that have not and cannot fight back as this mysterious person does not work here regularly I said I wanted a meeting to meet this person other details not significant to post. So there is good and very bad leading the show and it's obvious in the neglect of the obvious poas not brought in for more serious issues. I guess we all will wait for something bad to happen for action to occur which is what nursing leadership should be preaching and teaching. Stay aware!! Ps their site lies outright there is no 24/7 nursing nurse disappears from five to eleven pm don't get sick or fall during those hours like I did I had to wait two hours to see if I could walk ( barely) to my room a nice care manager brought me ice that was all I got. Had very bad sprain got both ankles damaged on property and no follow up.
