The Lutheran Village at Miller's Grant was a very nice facility. It's small and they don't offer as much as the other place. One of my concerns was they have no peripheral security. It is in what you would call a safe neighborhood, but even so, if I'm going to take my dog out after dark, I would like to know that there were no people potentially wandering around. It was a lovely place, but the extracurricular activities were limited in certain areas and they were more expensive than others. The one-room apartment had a kitchen, bedroom, and bath. Some have dens and balconies, some don't. The balcony doesn't matter to me and I probably wouldn't use the den because it's an inner room and I don't want to sit in a room without a window. The staff was quite professional and very good. The main problem is that they concentrated on integrating with the community, so any activity they had was just really social with current residents. They had good facilities, good common areas, and good workout areas. I can't fault quite a bit for what they provide. It's just that the number of activities was fewer. It's laid out fairly well. They have a separate facility for people who need care. It's very nice and very clean. They're starting to build another building, so it's going to mess up the site as well and that gave me some pause.

We did a tour of The Lutheran Village at Miller's Grant. The community was very well-kept. I could tell that it was a newer community. The grounds were in excellent condition. They have a pool, and I remember knowing that they had nurses on site that the residents could make appointments. I remember the activities that they had. They have an art class, a hair salon, and a gym. It's a wonderful community. The people there took us around on a tour. They were very friendly and very helpful. It was just a welcoming feeling. I think they have different levels of care because this property has homes, then they have apartments, and they have assisted living. I think they have palliative care, so I think it's all levels. It's very expensive here in Maryland, it's not like down south. They have these astronomical entrance fees, and that kind of deters you away. The staff were great. I was very impressed by the facility.
