We searched several assisted living/memory care facilities before deciding on Olney Memory Care for…read moremy brother. Olney was selected because of the size and more individual assistance given to residents. My brother has repeatedly said " this is a good place and the people are nice" when I ask him how he likes living there. He especially likes to walk and in the good weather he is able to walk a good distance outside when he wants. My brother is always well taken care of, eats well and he feels safe living there. As a result I am relaxed to know he is no longer living alone unassisted.

We regret placing our loved one in Olney Assisted Living. After only 2 weeks there, I discovered…read moreher arm with dark bruises and abrasions. There was no incident report, no notice to us, and no apologies. We've been met with indifference and defensiveness. After a week of looking into this, there are no answers about her arm. We are very upset and wish to place her in a safe environment. They won't, however, let us out of the contract without giving 30 days notice. (note, they said this was 30 days respite verbally but had me sign something else) My lesson learned is money ($8,900 per month) doesn't buy quality care, compassion, or integrity. It's been a horrible experience and I pray for all elderly patients who don't have family or friends advocating for them. I don't recommend Olney Assisted Living.

Everybody there is sedated, they don't have any activities , they are incompetent when it comes to nursing care and they have no dietitian on staff to check food/drug interactions or ensure the people are getting good quality healthy meals and meeting nutrient needs. They make homemade meals and I'm not sure if they are ServeSafe certified (which they need to be to handle food safely). They called us several times a day every day to come up there because they don't want to entertain your loved ones.

They are about the assisted living, rehabilitation, and nursing care parts of the facility. They may-or-may-not be valid with respect to the nursing home portion of Brooke Grove and these peoples' alleged experiences, but they're irrelevant to Independent Living here. They're like eating a steak I've prepared and criticizing my spaghetti! Independent Living at Brooke Grove is absolutely superior to all of the other communities we considered 3-4 years ago in Maryland and Pennsylvania. The management and maintenance are conscientious and terrific, the food is spectacular, the cottages are very well maintained, the grounds are kept groomed and beautiful, management's responsiveness leaves very little to be desired, and the residents are smart, lively, gracious people. After living here for almost 3 years, we still feel that moving here is the best decision we've ever made.

My sister and I were kept up-to-date on all things related to my father. In his final few days they worked well with the hospice team to ensure he was comfortable. On the last day my father was alive they made my mother's final visit and over night stay nothing less than a blessing.
