Country Meadows of Frederick has a memory care unit in the lower level of the facility. My wife was there before and it's locked so that the residents couldn't get out. The staff was generally friendly, attentive, and seemed to care about the residents. There were a variety of activities for them, but she didn't participate in much of that. I think she's slowing down her movement a little bit now to the point that maybe she will, but they had quite a number of things to do each afternoon. I haven't tasted the food but I saw what they served and it looked quite attractive, and she was very happy with it. She was not capable of giving in much detail or descriptions, but she seemed pleased with it and that I think was real. So, I was quite satisfied with the food. It also looked like the meals that were served down in memory care were the same things that the people from the upper levels have and who had more conscious choice and willingness to eat things. I would like their price to be a lot cheaper, but it is what it is. The price point up in Frederick was a lot better though than it was down in Potomac.

It’s been very good at Country Meadows of Frederick. My mother has adjusted very well there, we chose them because they’re very close to where she lived. It’s a couple of miles from her home which makes it easy for us to visit her. We toured it, it was beautiful, it’s a beautiful location, and their facilities are very clean, very beautiful and well-maintained. The rooms are very nice, she’s sharing a bath, but I feel she has a lot of room. She has some personal space, but they share the public areas. The community areas are well maintained. She has a lot going on, she’s seeing a lot of people, she’s got a lot of interaction, the food is wonderful, and I feel she’s safe there and she’s well taken care of. The staff talk to you, they explain things to you, mother has had a few falls, they call me, and they let me know she’s okay. I feel like they have a lot of staff, they seemed to have a enough people walking around, and everybody’s needs are met. When I'm there, they're gathering them up, they're doing things with them, Bingo, or they have a calendar they put out.
