Excellent facility

My parents (yes both) live at Winter Growth. I'm an RN so very familiar with facilities such as this. The care they receive here is very good. The nursing aids are wonderful and there is a strong emphasis on making sure that there is a variety of entertainment for the residents. The first thing I noticed is that every employee from the front desk secretary to the cleaner know everyone's name by day two. That's impressive. I hope they continue for a long time.

Outdated Center and the staff seem to have conflicts with each other. Boring activities. Not a place for my dad!

Tour was very nice. No private bathroom offered with Medicaid Waiver, no microwave in room. At this time my mother will not accept these terms.

Service format is separate from care need. Respite means temporary substitute care intended to give a regular caregiver relief. “Not publicly confirmed” is not the same as “No.”

Classification and identity evidence

Why this community appears in these categories

Board & Care Homes

Current Maryland Office of Health Care Quality licensed Assisted Living Program directory, restricted to facilities with 2 through 16 licensed beds. The official assisted-living license and small capacity form a conservative Board & Care proxy; Maryland does not certify that marketing label. Licensee is retained as regulatory evidence only and is not inferred to be an operator. The directory establishes no current availability, price, or fee.
