My wife was a resident of Somerford Place for 15 months prior to her passing from Alzheimers. The entire staff (especially the caregiving aides) was excellent. I visited every day for 3 to 4 hours and can verify the attentiveness and care of the staff. The only area which could be improved would be the addition of part time personnel to help with mealtimes. Overall, I was very satisfied with the level of care and understanding. I don't think that any facility in Frederick could provide better service.

My mother has been living at Somerford Place for well over a year now and I am pleased with the care that she is receiving. To have a family member with memory loss or dementia is always a difficult circumstance to be in. For each family it is a different situation. For some families, the individual with the disorder is content to be in the new environment (all in all) and for others, it is a struggle for a time. My mother would be in the latter category. Yet, over time, she has come to consider Somerford as her home. The staff there is accommodating to both her needs as well as her desires and they truly make the effort to recognize her as a person and interact with her as such. There are daily activities planned which she participates in that help her mind to stay engaged, and that, in addition to the interaction with other residents, helps make for pleasant days. The facility itself has been designed to provide a comfortable, home-like, environment. Of course, it is not home and one is now living with other individuals with similar problems, yet, I do think that Somerford has done a good job in trying to make that environment as warm and welcoming as possible. Afflictions, such as Alzheimer's, are difficult to deal with like many things in this world. Yet, places such as Somerford, help to make the situation a little less dark and bring a little bit of light for both the residents and their family.

My parents entered Somerford House in April 2016. During the next three months, my father's health rapidly declined due to advancing dementia. Having lived independently up to this point, they now had to get used to assisted living. The staff made every effort to make their transition easy and make them feel at home. When we were considering facilities in Frederick County, Somerford was the only facility that assured us they could care for both parents while keeping them together in the same apartment. The caregiving staff is kind. My parents became fast friends with all of them. Their gentle care was obvious even when my father's mobility deteriorated, especially in his final days. Even on his final day, I saw him greet the staff with a smile, showing the trust we had in them. The attending nursing staff and are incredibly kind. My family felt reassured with the excellent care that Somerford provided my father and now continues to provide my mother. My mother has made friends at Somerford and enjoys the community, particularly the staff, the garden, and the meals. We would recommend Somerford to others looking for care of their family member. My mother has already recommended it to some of her friends.

My experience with Somerford has been more than I expected. The staff treats my wife with respect and grace from the administration to the chefs. Everyone refers to all residents by name, really nice.

The care and attention that my father receives from the staff is excellent. Each staff takes the time to listen to me and makes the necessary adjustments in his care. While I was on vacation for 10 days, at my request the staff assisted my father to call me every morning, this helped him and made me more comfortable while away. I praise the staff at Somerford Frederick to my family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. We are very happy with his care.

My mom has been at Somerford – Frederick for 17 months. The care she receives is excellent. Even though I see my mom at times going downhill, the staff is always there to help her along. The staff is very easy to get questions answered when I approach them. I get calls at home when changes are being made to my mom’s care. That’s a good feeling when you know your loved one is being cared for. This is where my mom is the safest and gets the medical care she needs. It’s a great feeling for me.
