My mom has only been in Annapolitan Assisted Living for a week now. She's in memory care. She was not aware that she was going to be placed there, so it's been a very difficult transition for the entire family. However, what we liked about it was they made time for us to take a tour. Our group had to have an evening tour and they made sure that there was someone available to do that. The second thing we liked was when we toured the memory care facility, I was impressed by how the residents related to the person giving us the tour who happened to be the director of the whole Annapolitan. The caregivers were friendly, smiling, and happy. That was a key point for our decision to put our mom there. Also, the cost of the memory care as opposed to some other places that we had visited was more in line with what we were looking for. All of that together, that's what led to our decision to put her there. My mother's room is very nice. It is in memory care, so it is just a bedroom, a bed, a recliner chair, and a dresser. Her room does not have a shower. It does have a toilet and a sink, but there is a shower directly across from her that is larger. We are happy with it. We were able to paint it whatever color, and we can decorate it whatever way we would like. They have outings for the residents that the family is invited to attend as well. They have monthly family nights where the families all get together with all the residents in the building. They have dinners that we can go in whenever we want and have a meal with our mom. We're given a private dining room that we can go in. They have assigned seating and their own dining room. They have an activity director. They have activities all day long until after dinner. They have a beauty parlor right there for the ladies in the unit. They have a courtyard where they can go out to when the weather is nice. However, they have to be out with staff. They're not allowed to go out on their own into the courtyard, but it's a beautiful courtyard. The people that I have dealt with have been very communicative, very friendly, and pleasant. I know that my mom has been eating all three meals and a snack, which is better than what she was doing at home.

My mother lived in an assisted living facility prior to moving to Annapolitan Assisted Living, and while we are thankful that her prior facility kept her safe and cared for, her former assisted living experience was no comparison to the wonderful experience she has had at the Annapolitan. My mom has lived here for almost three years and I am always impressed by how professional the staff is, and how kind they are to my mother. Additionally, the activities director always has terrific parties for the residents and the residents’ family and friends, and they take residents on outings to restaurants, parks, and even Bowie Baysox baseball games. During the COVID pandemic, the facility manager was absolutely terrific in balancing the health needs of residents with their emotional need to see family and friends, and implemented common sense precautions to protect residents. The entire staff is top-notch, friendly and caring. The Annapolitan is a terrific place to live!
