Best Nursing Homes In Washington Near Me

Angela Williams: My mother was a resident at Inspire Rehabilitation and Health Center from November 2021 to her untimely death in January 2022. The staff at Inspire was exceptionally nice and took good care of my mother, making her last days comfortable. I was kept up to date on my mother’s deteriorating health. She became difficult to manage because of Dementia but the staff showed professionalism and patience in calming her down and getting her to eat. I was able to make virtual appointments with ease, to speak with her during the periods the facility was not allowing visits because of COVID restrictions. While my mother was a resident at Inspire, I got to witness the dedication and hard work of this profession. Taking care of incapacitated ones is a difficult responsibility. I was impressed with the dedication and attention the staff at Inspire displayed with the patients the time my mother was a resident there. Thanks and keep up the excellent work. It was truly appreciated by me.

Marsha Brown: I am writing this note to let Stoddard know how much I appreciate the care they give my love one. My rating is a 4 plus some. So I’m giving them 5 stars. My mom is 95 years old and has been with Stoddard for more than 5 years. First let me say no place is perfect and neither is Stoddard. Yet in their perfect imperfection way they are there for me and mom. It has been proven during this most trying times when I have to look at mom through a glass window or see and hear her voice on Google duo. It’s the inflection in her voice when I hear her say ‘dear’ to me or her care giver, it is the coloring in her cheeks, and the feisty ness in her voice. It is the reassuring conversations with the Unit Assistant, the Head Nurse, staff nurses and technicians, the security guards, and other medical professionals and housekeeping. It is the reassuring conversations with social services, physical and recreational therapy who answer my most urgent and often demanding questions. It is the virtual conversations and window conversations that assure me that mom has not lost her spunk. Not a perfect place, but the right place for my mom. Yes there are times when we butt heads, but all in all I want to Thank you Stoddard for caring for my mom.

T Washington: To: Rosalind Stokes and The Fort Washington Health Center My family and I can not thank you enough for the care, support, and understanding your facility provided for my mom and my family. From the moment my mother entered your health center it was wonderful. Thank you, to the nurses and staff members who took numerous of calls from my family. Everyone was so willing to provide us with updates and would even let us know my mom wasn’t having a good day. Not to mention that window room we could not ask for anything better. We enjoyed the staff as you would stay in the room as we prayed and sang to our mom and grandma. I give a special thank you to the staff members who did not tell me to stop singing because I wasn’t a singer. My mom even told me one day to stop that noise. LOL. Keep doing what you do for your patients. Thanks again, for the awesome experience at The Fort Washington Health Center. May God continue to keep and Bless everyone of you. Sincerely, Betty Walker’s Family

Margery Brown: My mother rehabilitated here after total hip replacement and I have nothing but gratitude and respect for the excellent care she received. The skilled nursing staff was professional and caring, the social and cultural activities were of a very high quality, the food was delicious and nutritious and the onsite a Physical and Occupational therapy facility was so convenient and expertly staffed. Thanks to everyone at Forest Hills for providing a real home to the residents and short termers as well.

Sandie: Since the beginning, Ms. Catherine Nwosu has been great! She has been treating my dad with such good care. Very nice, caring, and compassionate. You can see that she has genuine love for her patients. My family and I really appreciate her services thus far.

Pam Kaplan: My Mom and I made the decision in January, 2020 to try the Grand Oaks’ 60 day Respite Stay Program as a way of “testing the waters” in her transition to a retirement community environment. We were both impressed with the level of personalized care she received with occupational and physical therapy as well as the friendliness of the staff and the true neighborhood feeling – including social activities and fine dining! In March, she made the decision to become a permanent resident of Grand Oaks just prior to the COVID 19 “stay at home order” from the DC Mayor. Initially, I experienced some trepidation; the media accounts of the rampant spread of the Corona virus among elderly populations was downright terrifying. But, I was constantly reassured to know my mom was safe at Grand Oaks – especially with the proximity to Sibley Memorial Hospital and Johns Hopkins. I am so grateful to the Director, Laurie Henley and the entire Grand Oaks’ team for their professional leadership, creative problem solving and “above and beyond” efforts for keeping my mom well. As a family member, I receive regular email communications with the latest status of the residents and the facility, including regular COVID testing for all. Laurie recently hosted a family webinar where we heard from the team leaders of each aspect of the community and we had an opportunity to ask questions. I know that the safety and well-being of my mom and her fellow residents is the top priority of the entire staff – whether its providing help in setting up telemedicine visits with my mom’s doctors or even in lending a hand to set up her TV so that she can tune into the Washington Nationals games – everyone really tries to be there for my mom. That is reassuring, especially when I know that I cannot be physically present with her now. In spite of all of the COVID 19 uncertainty and the safety restrictions in place from the DC Government, I believe that Grand Oaks is doing a great job. And even though it still is too risky for visitors to come into the facility, we’ve all found new ways to communicate with our loved ones.

Laurie Berry: Great place to work. I have older family members. I doubt that they would end up in a home. For a lot of people, they still would not want this. Although Lister-Home tried to be patient and make the home as best as they possibly can. I would use a home for our loved ones as a last resort. I rather let my loved ones never be in one. It did seem like a place where there was absolutely no kind of abuse towards the residents which is highly important. It all depends on the person. Personally, I would not want to be in one myself. Although my concerns are that people there are well and have activities. I remember that there were activities there which was good because that helps the residents with boredom because television is not enough.

Lucia Hatch: WE moved to Ingleside Rock Creek this summer looking forward to meeting a group of really interesting residents and enjoying good meals and fine company. Covid has greatly limited the mingling and community dining, but the apartment we moved into is lovely, and the staff could not be more helpful, friendly and responsive. There are plenty of opportunities to get to know fellow residents through the ubiquitous Zoom meetings and outdoor socializing,, and by appointment, I can continue to stay limber at the fitness center. The campus is beautifully landscaped, with a lovely path to next-door Rock Creek for the adventurous.

Phil Soriano: Caroling for our fellow residents in long term and memory care. New Year’s Eve dinner with apartment neighbors.

Susan Carter-Chavers: My husband was in rehab after back surgery. The staff was pleasant, responsive and competent. The nursing staff and aides made him feel that they really cared about his overall health. The PT and OT staff worked diligently to get my husband prepared physically to return home with having skills to be comfortable enough to manage until home care began. The therapist dealing with my husband’s cognitive skills was patient, understanding and listened to my husband’s concerns. The attending physician was outstanding, informative and communicative. His stay overall was successful.

Mary rechtien: Looking to move there. Nice place alot of activities always going on.

Rosemary Rugger: CPO Rugger, Retired USN, WWII, Korean War, Pearl Harbor Survivor. We thank you for your service.

Bob Nathan: Awesome, exceptional 7 star care for the elderly, inspired by the vision and mission of St. Jeanne Jugan in the service of Jesus Christ. My mother has been there since 2000...and I and my family can testify to the diigence and quality of care. God bless the Little Sisters of the Poor, and the staff and workers, for the cleanliness an completeness of care they provide so lovingly.

Theo Addis: This place makes me feel like my homeFull of professional care givers .

Nichole Saint Germain: What can I say? Only that this hospital brought my father back to life. COVID-19 almost took him and BridgePoint put him back together. The staff at BridgePoint National Harbor was absolutely fantastic. From the calls and facetimes we were always in contact and knew what the next steps where to get my father back. I want to shout out Erica his case manager, she always answered the phone set up meetings and listen to me cry when we had setbacks. I cant thank them enough for everything they have done and continue to do.

Gerald Smith: Been here a couple of weeks. Lasted 3 days at home because the rehab I’d been in milked my Medicare days and sent me on my way unprepared. From my first conversation with the business office, I felt reassured and informed. I’m more than able to advocate for myself. I’ve made it plain I’m going home asap. The staff has acted accordingly. Activities, Admissions, Dietary, Business office Social Workers Nurses GNAs. They are all trying. That’s all that I can ask. Nowhere is perfect. But I’ve seen what it looks like when folks are slow walking you and not listening. This isn’t that place. Not for me anyway.
