My life is now complete because I got 'first to review' at a retirement community on Yelp. I have…read moreto say that I was impressed in every way with Edenwald. When you think of a retirement community you may be one of the people that thinks of a sad place where people are put to be forgotten. That's certainly not the case at all with Edenwald. It felt like a bustling community to me. More than once I thought "I wouldn't mind ending up at a place like this someday." Security wise there is a person manning the front desk at all hours of the day. Ask that person for the guest Wi-Fi password. There is a lobby where you can sit and wait for people where there is also a gift store. I didn't see it but apparently they have a fitness center and pool here. On the activity board they have a listing of all the activities that are taking place on site. They also offer multiple day trips to interesting sites around the area. If you don't want to drive to do errands they will take you places such as Trader Joe's. They have multiple restaurants on site. I got to sample two of them. One of them was a casual cafeteria. The other one was what we called "the pub", which serves alcohol. There is also a fancy pants restaurant across from the pub, but they enforce a dress code. I wasn't doing backflips over the food, but it was much better than I expected and I enjoyed my meals. I thought the nicest thing about the living quarters was that once you go inside and close your door it just feels like an apartment. You have a fully stocked kitchen, which is nice. Even though you have your privacy there are ways in the bathroom and bedroom to alert the staff that you need help. All the amenities in the world wouldn't matter if the people weren't treated right. I have to say I was constantly interacting with friendly people. Multiple times on the elevator the residents would be cracking me up. One man told me that he hoped I wasn't going to the 25th floor because that was his private penthouse. If you have an aging relative who wants their independence but could use the safety/security of assisted-living I can't think of a better place then Edenwald.

Compassionate staff everywhere, not just in nursing services. Independent living activities and…read morethe food exceed our expectations everyday. No more big house, lawn, maintenance- gone. And now we have 14 people on our skilled maintenance crew, plus house keeping services, and our own kitchen/serving staff.

My mother lived at North Oaks (including in the Autumn Ridge [Assisted Living] section) from late…read moreApril of 2014 until her death in late October of this year. She was in the Independent Living section during her first nearly-three years, and that's where the majority of problems transpired. There was a significant unresponsiveness of "in charge" personnel on multiple occasions: #1: One time my mother fell in her apartment and fractured her wrist. She called me and I got the Security guy to go up there, and he had an aide sent to my mother's apartment - but even though I'd already arranged for my nephew to go there and take my mother to the hospital, the aide *refused* to wait (a short while) until he arrived. #2: Another time, an aide forgot to go to my mother's apartment to dispense her medications (fortunately I was able to get a nurse from the Assisted Living section to go to my mother's apartment). #3: Another time, an aide became angry that my mother had already taken her pills before the aide's arrival (my mother had waited much longer than usual), and the aide - in retribution - didn't dispense my mother's next pill (which was *dangerous*) and she also didn't put out my mother's lunch foods (the latter needed to be done temporarily because my mother's broken wrist hadn't yet healed). Fortunately that aide was fired - but another time, the aide never went to my mother's apartment to dispense the morning pills. #4: My mother was erroneously billed for several things and multiple people kept refusing to delete those charges from her monthly bill (I handled all of those things - but the amount of time and effort required to contend with all of that was absolutely inexcusable). North Oaks has been under new management for more than a year and the situation seems to have improved - and admittedly it's probably a better place than many other facilities, which is why I'm giving four stars when otherwise I'd only give three. Meanwhile; during the 6 2/3 years that my mother lived in the Assisted Living section, there was a significant shortage of personnel during much of that time and a significant turnover of senior staff - although to be fair, covid had commenced about 3 1/2 years prior to my mother's death and therefore the former situation was typical everywhere. A few of the nurses worked there for a long time and they were wonderful. However; the ongoing staff shortage necessitated my needing to hire private aides ten hours/day for about the last 2 1/2 years of my mother's life, because it wasn't safe for her to be left alone for most of 24 hours/day - and she'd fallen in her room and broken her hip when left unattended for several hours before I'd hired the private aides (and I'm still devastated to remember that she was crying out for help and it took eons for someone to respond), so that was the precipitating factor in needing to hire private aides. Needless to say, the cost of those aides was exorbitant when combined with the cost of the facility.

From the moving process, to…read morehaving property stolen, to being uprooted for renovations and moved into a dysfunctional apartment, to the abusive dining staff (only in the early morning when the families aren't around to witness - but I did), to the management that puts residents off expecting they'll forget the problems or just give up because they're old... this place is the pits. Living there was hell for my grandparents and certainly not a welcome experience in their late stage of life. North Oaks does a very good sales pitch and presented quite well but after the money is in the bank, the contract's signed, and a few months into the daily life their true colors start to show. After moving out. receiving back their "return-of-capital" returned took an excessively long time and required much follow up. Moving into this property was my grandparents' final plan. The stress that living there caused gave my grandfather health issues and lowered their quality of life. We wound up moving them to another (IMO far better run and significantly cheaper) retirement center at their request despite the cost and hassle because the conditions wound up being too hard for them there. Moving again caused them further hardship. Be very wary when considering this property for a loved one. Things aren't always how they appear to be from the outside.

The director of nursing was very pleasant and personable. She gave us a good tour and explained everything very thoroughly which was nice. But I went to tour with my father and the rooms are small and don't have closets. I was still willing to move my father there due to the urgency, and because of how accommodating the director of nursing was. Kenny just pushed us off to her saying he had another client, and talked more about himself than the facility or residents. Then when I followed up about a week later and email questions he called me and stated he didn't have time to answer the questions because he's way too busy. Wow! Anything would've been better than saying that to me. I'm busy too! But saying you're too busy to answer a question about my loved ones care and pricing of your facility is disgusting and rude especially coming from a Veteran. Don't even waste your time, gas or money here! And if the facility is seeing this, give the director of nursing a raise !

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

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.
