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.

Laquonia Jenkins: This place has to be the worst nursing home in Dc. Please do not send your family members here. The staff is horrible and the place need to be shut down it’s falling apart and the parking is even worst and the food is something you would feed a dog.

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.

Carolyn Kanter: Please reconsider when sending a parent or loved one here. My mother was not cared for And the place was very dirty. Employees were Nasty. The food was awful. I highly recommend Hiring your own private duty at home. My mothers apartment had mold everywhere. After she passed away, we were cleaning up an saw it Under her closet area where her shoes had been And on her her clothes in the back of closet.

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.

TANYA RHAMES: My father has a stroke back in September 2021. After he was discharge from the hospital and acute rehabilitation it was advised that he continue rehabilitation at a skilled nursing facility. Ingleside was my first choice because of the great reviews I had read. Well when my father was transfer to Ingleside I spoke to the director of nursing Boi whom seem to very candied in our conversation. He even shared I was jot my fathers point / emergency contact not understanding how that could be, when his admission paperwork was sent over from another facility with All my information provided. After that night I was unable to speak to anyone from the medical team until 9 days later the day my father was bring discharged. Prior to his discharge a was in very close contact with the Social Worker Kim to prepare for his discharge planning. Two days before my fathers actually discharge date I asked if someone (Dr/ Nurse) on the medical team would follow up with me. Due to following up his medication prescriptions, pharmacy we would be using. Needless to say the day my father was discharged on a home on a Saturday with no prescriptions available nor any been called in prior to him being discharged. When I contacted the nurses station someone finally answer I spoke to Nurse Beatrice and do eager to rush me off the phone as I was attempting inquire about my how would my fathers prescriptions would be handled. She then told me they the Dr. had called the prescriptions in. I began to question her statement bring I hadn’t spoke with anyone from the medical team to provide any forthcoming information. After getting my father home it took me over 4 hours to get his medication called in and picked up. The follow with this horrible. The way this staffing handled his discharge planning was very neglectful. The facility is beautiful, but the staffing needs a lot of work and possible some retraining. Not my ideal place of sending my love one. “ What looks good on the outside isn’t always good on the inside “.

Garth Green: While the facility itself is nice and the accommodations acceptable, I have serious reservations about the quality of nursing and medical care my mother is receiving there. The nurses and nurse assistants do not have the basic competency to empty, clean, and reassemble an ileostomy bag. My mother has been there for over 2 weeks and no one has been able to perform this basic function. It is disappointing and sad to find my mother in soiled sheets due to the lack of skill among the staff. I wish we had sent her someplace else. The head nurse tells me everything is ok and getting better but it has not.

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.

Victor Fenwick: This office in occassionally not delivering my mail. In fact, I sometimes get other people mail, some with the address of 4821 Illinois Ave NW. This has been a problem for quite some time. When i call the office the phone is always busy.

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.

YMGM Meek: On my uncles first night they forgot to give him his meds also share a room with another guest. They have no sanitation equipment in the room. It’s just awful thank god he ain’t got to stay there no more than a week. Jesussss...

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

Michael Miller: My brother-in-law previously had covid and was on a ventilator when he was transferred to BridgePoint. He spent three and a half weeks in the ICU in the LTACH unit before being transferred to the Sub-Acute and Rehab unit. The first day in the ICU, my sister-in-law arrived to see my brother-in-law half naked and covered with vomit. The nurse refused to clean him up, instead waiting for the orderly to do it. That seems to be their policy. In general, the ICU nurses seemed to be inattentive. Dr. Gohari, the primary attending physician, was good. She was willing to give us frequent detailed updates on his condition. Her weekend backup (Dr. Hansen) was not very familiar with the case and was not as helpful. Ernasha, the patient advocate, was helpful and responsive. Tigist (Admissions) was also good. Front desk personnel were polite and helpful. Nelson, a nurse, was very kind and caring. However, the case manager (Melissa) was extremely difficult to get hold of and didn’t really do her job. After leaving the ICU, my brother-in-law was transferred to the Sub-Acute and Rehab unit, which is a separate entity in the same building. We were not happy with that facility. It was very difficult to talk to anyone about his case. We were not able to talk to any doctor during the two weeks he was there. Mr. Mitchell, the administrator, did pick up his phone but could only get the speech therapist (Rebecca) to call. She was very helpful. In the two weeks my brother-in-law was in Sub-Acute and Rehab, they made no progress in weaning him off the ventilator, which is the most important part of rehab in our view. The respiratory therapists were not aggressively trying to wean him, only doing an assessment twice a week. The respiratory department was not even represented in the plan-of-care meeting. When we were finally able to talk to the respiratory director, she was not aware that he had had a successful CPAP trial the day before he was transferred to the Rehab unit. At one point, my brother-in-law tried to get out of bed and ended up on the floor. The side rails of the bed should have been raised but were not. Some of the nurses were nice, especially Pam, but others were not. Our biggest problem with the Sub-Acute and Rehab unit occurred about two weeks after he arrived. One night, we received a call from the nurse supervisor (Vola?) saying my brother-in-law was non-responsive and that they had called 911. They claimed that they had a signed document that said he should be provided with “comfort only.” We had to point out that a Do Not Resuscitate order does not say that at all and they should take him to the emergency room. At the emergency room, it was discovered that his catheter was plugged, resulting eventually in a urinary tract infection and septic shock. This apparently was a result of negligence on the part of the nursing staff. We sent a polite email to the head nurse (Dr. Quarles) and others asking them to investigate. No one ever responded to the email or to two follow-up phone calls. After recovering for three weeks at two different hospitals, my brother-in-law was sent back to rehab. At that point, we refused to let him go back to BridgePoint.

Patrice Brown: I give this place no stars. It really needs to be shut down. Rooms are extremely hot. Nurse , Tech patient ratio is horrible. To many patients for the nurse , tech staff on hand. No one knows what is going on with the patients care. After 5 days there had to find another place. Only then did those in charge want to give a helping hand once they learned I was taking him somewhere else. It was struggle as they did not want to give all his information to the new facility but God works miracles and my love one is doing 100% better somewhere else.
