I was invited to an open house in Riderwood Village. They showed apartments - one bedroom, two bedroom or three-bedroom apartments. It was the usual sales pitch. Activities are the usual mix of things, depends on what your interests are. My wife has been in the rehab there in the past where she enjoyed playing the piano and the food was very good. The rehabilitation facility is probably the best in the county.

I did visit Riderwood in Silver Spring and it's a nice community. The trouble was that it doesn’t accept Medicaid and my husband is about to be on Medicaid. They say that they have it, but when we got there they really didn’t have it. The staff who toured us around was nice.

He just moved in to Riderwood Village this past week. The room was spacious before he put all of the stuff in there but it was appropriate for what he needs. I was impressed by the facilities and the staff. They were very friendly, very helpful and very professional.

I visited someone in Riderwood nursing home and it was pretty much like a hospital room. It was in a different building separate from the assisted living. It was clean and didn't have any odor associated with a nursing home. It was nicely decorated and carpeted in the front and hallway. It was a lock down unit.

This seems like a great assisted living facility. It has apartments for the residents to be as independent as they like, but also has higher levels of care available once they become necessary. When my grandmother eventually became very ill, they took excellent care of her, eventually providing the necessary hospice care.

The staff are friendly and seem attentive to resident's dietary and personal needs. There were a variety of ages of people visiting and because the more assisted living population is mixed in with the retirement population whenever possible, the environment is less depressing. The food is fairly bland but good quality and there are some vegetarian options. During one visit, my grandfather collapsed in the bathroom with what later turned out to be pneumonia. There was quickly a staff member there to assist him and they checked his vitals before transporting him to the hospital. Rent at the facility includes one meal a day, and that meal can be take-out or eaten in the dining room. The dining rooms don't allow groups of two or less people to sit alone so they attempt to foster socialisation which is good. Additionally, there is a lot of intellectual stimulation available through subsidised, facilitated trips, courses taught by local college professors, and the availability of craft and recreation rooms.
