Edenwald Senior Living

The entire KITCHEN (cafe) STAFF NEEDS TO GO EXCEPT Audrea, Dwayne and there's one other lady. I was there today (11/26) and there was a young lady preparing fish (Haddock) sandwiches. (I will be back to update this review with names) She was EXTREMELY rude, not only today but most days. She doesn't need to be working in a nursing facility around our elders with a nasty attitude. I will be back to update this review..

Thank you, Edenwald, for taking such good care of our mother for over 20 years. Mom moved into her apartment at the age of 81 based on the recommendations of several friends who lived there. As an active woman she enjoyed life at Edenwald immensely: meals and programs, exercise classes and volunteer opportunities, flowers to admire and card games to play, friendly people and caring staff. She thrived in her new life. As the years passed, she was gradually able to do less, but she remained pleased to be at Edenwald and often told us how nice the people were who cared for her. Recently she passed on at the age of 103. We children are so glad she chose Edenwald because of the joy Mom had in living there and the independence it gave her in managing her needs. We miss visiting Mom, walking down the hall with her and saying hello to everyone. We miss talking with staff and other residents, some of whom we’ve known for more than 20 years. Thank you for all you do.

We looked at several properties before my mom chose Edenwald. It was December 2020 when she moved in, and we felt very safe with her there in the independent living building. The front desk staff are wonderful, and so patient with guests and residents alike (even when people are being rude to them). The housekeeping and dining staff are friendly and patient, and the maintenance crew are always helpful when she needs something, whether it’s hanging curtains, or taking out her Christmas tree. The activities are varied and great for people of all interests and activity levels, and they have their own tv channel with at home exercises even those with mobility issues can do. Very pleased they’re adding a PT facility this year. My mom feels safe, and happy, has made lots of friends, and her physical health has actually improved due to the reduced stress of living in a 3-story house by herself. ***** Just stopping by to say, as we celebrate her 3 years at Edenwald anniversary next month, she’s still happy and so are we. The pandemic has challenged everyone, but the staff remain superlative, and in the meantime the community is building a new program with Goucher College to bring residents and students together though not only programming, but also housing. Related: refreshed common area is welcoming and has games as well as space and power to work on a computer. The Medicare certification has been completed, and the PT facility has opened. Edenwald is a model for progressive retirement communities, IMO.
