I had the most incredible tour of Chevy Chase House when looking at senior living options for a…read morefamily friend. Mary the Sales Director gave me a tour of the building including a studio and 1-bedroom unit (beautiful big windows, great light, modern renovation), the gym and the great room. She also insisted I order from the lunch menu and meet the Chef. As a vegetarian, I was delighted to see a veggie burger on the menu and noticed the food choices appealed to a broad range of dietary preferences. At the end of my tour, Mary handed me the lunch I ordered (covid prevented me from dining onsite) that was packed in an insulated to-go lunch box, along with a side salad, a piece of cake and a water bottle. Honestly, I was ready to move in there myself. There is a Starbucks 1 block away and the gorgeous upper Northwest DC setting makes you feel like you're still part of the DC action while giving residents the services and amenities they may need. This is a no-brainer choice.

My mom moved here in 2021, and she has thrived in the community. Not only is her health stable,…read morebut she is so happy here and has made so many friends. Every time I visit she is enjoying an activity or meal, and I get timely updates on her health from the nursing staff. I am so glad she moved here, and I am looking forward to the many family and community events that are being planned this spring and summer.

The quality of care is very lackluster. A love one has lived at this home for a number of years and…read morenot much has changed in all that time. I will say the place did not reek of urine. The staff to resident ratio is alarming and something the state should look into. I was there for a couple of hours and honestly seen only one nurse(?)/attendant and one person cleaning. The wait to enter the facility is lengthy. No one answers the bell, the residents have to see you at the door and yell to someone that someone is at the door. It's a sad state of affairs the care or lack thereof rendered to our oldest and neediest population. This place is marginally better than some of the others that service this demographic but that's not saying much. This place is better than being on the street, I suppose.

Originally, our scheduled walk though was great. The staff was welcoming and it smelled like…read moredisinfective. The smell changed after my first visit. The staff was very rude and even throw her hands up to indicate she couldn't help me find ice. My grandmother was here for a month and a half. She walked in happy and very independent. During her stay, she was verbally abused, neglected which caused her to fall and not checked on that lead to bed sores. We had to move her, she was in horrible pain one night. Due to her stage four cancer, she need to feel comfortable. However, she pressed the bell and the nurse came in, snatched the bell out of the wall, and told her to stop using it. When we stayed with her, they never came in. They just walked around in their face mask due to lack of cleaning of the facility. I only saw the other residents when their family were there visiting. Other than that, they stayed in bed and left alone all day. Pay attention to the signs: scheduled visits are not needed. Staff wear face mask. You don't see other residents out of their beds. They told us my grandmother was crazy and she did not fall. I wouldn't recommend this place for dog boarding!

My father has been a resident here since October 2014…read more It was the best decision for him to move here. The staff are attentive and caring and he still has more autonomy than he would in many other places. He did NOT want to go to a nursing home despite his increasing frailty . He requires assistance with all ADLs and medications. He is always well groomed, clean and in good spirits. All the staff address him by name and treat him with great respect and affection. His speech is difficult to understand because of strokes but they are uniformly patient and helpful. Three mornings a week we are together but I do stop in at other times and he is ALWAYS well cared for. Here is an opportunity for socialization that he didn't have at his independent facility in NJ. Meals are in the dining room; many different daily activities. He and I could not be happier with Grand Oaks And we feel that the VALUE is excellent. Director of nursing is smart, friendly and very responsive to any concern I ever raised. Thomas A. Tesoriero, MD

After a lovely tour by Tawanda Jackson, the Associate Admissions Coordinator, I am more excited…read morethan ever about Seabury at Friendship Terrace. 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.

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 don't have a last name. Erin was so knowledgeable, kind and patient. She took us through the entire facility. Everyone there was so kind. The staff members stopped to speak with us and the individuals living in that facility were up and about, laughing and having a great time. 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. The staff members and the individuals living there have a great relationship. It was fantastic.
