[quote=Anonymous]My mom worked in assisted living facilities for over a decade before transitioning to hospice (she was tired of the "for-profit" mindset of ALF). She worked in a few in Olney; Brooke Grove always had good reviews, and it's a CCRC which is nice. Alfred House also wasn't bad. She also spent some time at Brookeville House out in Brookeville and thought it was nice too. It's not a CCRC, so if you're going to need a nursing home, it might not be a good fit, but a lot of ALFs can provide support for most levels of care up to needing a nursing home. Generally, she says the smaller ALFs that operate out of homes are usually better; most can only house 5-6 patients max, and the home-like environment is nicer than the facilities (not always, but generally), and there's more one-on-one support. She also thought the food at Brookeville House was really nice. This was 10 years ago, so things could have changed a lot, but that was her impression at the time. [/quote]
