Broadmead

My best friend moved to Broadmead 22 yrs ago and is happily independent living there still. After visiting many times, I recommended Broadmead to my parents-in-law and they lived there happily for 10 years in independent care and assisted living. The homes are 1 story on a courtyard with 15-20 "next door neighbors" and people have meetings and socials with them as a "cluster." There is space to garden around your home if you wish, or BM will do it for you. Each apt has its own washer and dryer. The Quaker values at…

We're going to go to Broadmead. The housing and the residents appealed to us. We liked the residences and the program, and it's in a wooded environment. They have a woodworking shop, a ceramic studio, music programs, a swimming pool, exercising, gardens, and hiking trails in the woods. The food was very nice.

Very dissapointing over the years. Large turnover over last year. Seem to be more concerned with building and selling more units then actual medical care and quality of some of the staff. Have 1 doctor that works 3 days a week 4-5 hours each day. There are approx 240 residents. Food service is except for a couple people seems rude. Many residents are unhappy with things but do not have anywhere else to go and family is not around so they do not want to complain even for the amount that they are paying.

Broadmead was excellent. It was very good. The visit was very thorough. They had a nice orientation. We did see some of the units. We like it, but it is in a very congested area. It is very convenient to everything. However, you have to walk outside to get to all the activities.

My mother has been a resident of Broadmead Retirement Community since June 2012. We have been thoroughly impressed and very pleased at the care level with the nurses, and caregivers. Also, the activities available are awesome. Additionally, the Physical Therapy options are numerous; exercise classes daily. We've had experience with other facilities; Broadmead shines above all others. We're grateful daily for the superb care, and importantly the response to individual needs.

We chose this community because after visiting about 3 other retirement communities in Baltimore County, Broadmead was the best organized and was the cleanest. The apartments are really nice and have plenty of space. The staff is just marvelous and really makes a difference. Their Director of Sales is a true professional and did really well assisting us with everything we needed. There seems to be plenty of activities to keep the residents occupied if they chose to participate. As soon as we visited Broadmead we ju…
