Assisted Living At Goodwill

Goodwill is an EXCELLENT and very BEST in elderly care! This place is very clean, smells clean, and the staff is very nice, very helpful and very supportive. My father-in-law was in Memory Care, and we visited him quite often, and he was very comfortable, even though he never wanted to be in such situation, but he couldn't take care of himself anymore, and we honored his wishes until we couldn't anymore. Being located in Western Maryland, and my wife and I living in MD, PA, NJ, CT and MA, there is no place compatible to the Goodwill Retirement Community. We wish we had taken advantage of the Community aspect of the Goodwill, the various stages, and how the parent would have smooth transition into the next step. My father-in-law had his resources and we applied all his resources to his care and it was money WELL SPENT! Thank you Goodwill, we wish not to know you, but in now knowing you, we are/were greatly appreciative of everything you offered, and then some. We wish you and everyone who comes through the Goodwill doors the very best, bc we know you will give it and they will receive it.

They had a nice car show for the residents. Always great to see the residents outside to see the cars.

Assisted living, exceptional value, wonderful caring staff

I gave two stars because we did have two wonderful years here. We moved into the retirement village along with my father, sister and brother-in-law.  We loved living here and being so close to each other, yet living in separate cottages.  We planned on seeing out our days at Goodwill. After those two years, my wonderful neighbor had to move to assisted living. My husband ended up not getting along with the husband of the couple that moved in after him, and the man proceeded to do creepy things to intimidate us, stacking junk on his back patio that faced our bedroom, hung pictures of people and items staring back at us from their bedroom window into ours, leaving outside lights on all night shining directly into the bedroom, and making structural changes that were ugly, without getting required approval first. Though they did manage the problem with the inappropriate structural changes, Administration did nothing to get him to stop his uncivilized behavior.  The things he was doing "were not obscene or illegal", so they were deemed to be acceptable in their eyes.  We've since moved out, away from my family, taking the financial hit, because we could no longer trust them to care for us in the manner we expected to be when we moved in. Since they wouldn't help us with the difficult situation we were faced with, we no longer felt confident in our future there.  We also didn't want to live in a community that would allow someone as uncivilized as he to live there. Unless administration comes up with a plan to manage neighbors that don't get along, or uses better discretion when determining whether the Village is the right place for a prospective resident, I would not move into the village.  You may end up being sorry you did so just as we did.

My Mother was a resident of Goodwill for 7 years. Her care was excellent and the last 2 years she was basically bedridden. She never had one bed sore or any skin breakdown at all even up until the end. Their compassionate care was beyond superb. I cannot say enough good things about the nursing staff. They are angels on earth.
