  A Place For Mom

This facility doesn't have activities or bus service. The exercise room is very small and only one person can go at a time. On the inside of the courtyard they have rotten wood and this causes bees and insect issues. we need more lighting in the courtyard also. The elevators can get stuck for 3-4 hours and people get panicked. The closets are smaller than advertised. The community residence is nice and we take care of each other. We now have new management and they are listening to our issues and doing all they can to make things better.

I have lived at Hillside Senior Apartment Homes in Gaithersburg, MD since January this year. The communication, helpfulness, and professionalism from the current manager, [name removed] and her assistant [name removed] has been outstanding. The manager has big socialization plans for Hillside residents when the pandemic is over. The management is always attentive to any concerns I have. I highly recommend this community for those who are searching for safe, quality living.

Went to visit a friend who is living at these wonderful apartments in Montgomery County for Seniors. First thing I noticed was how clean and bright everything is as someone suggested on here. I agree. Then, I made sure to observe residents asking questions at the office and how the office staff treated them. I read a not-so-good review about the office, so I wanted to observe for myself. It isn’t true from what I could see. The office seemed very open, responsive, respectful and attentive to their residents’ requests. This is very important. The apartments are very nice inside with everything new, and the bathrooms have the safety bars. The floor to ceiling windows are quite lovely. I wonder how often they will clean the windows in the future from the outside as they are big? Residents have a dedicated courtyard that I imagine many would take daily strolls around. There are a group of homes in another community one side of these senior apartments that look stable and quiet, but the shopping strip area is not so appealing. I give this apartment 5 stars because of its price, its location in proximity to major highways, transportation via bus about one block away, grocery across street, clean areas, amenities such as the courtyard for strolls, pool, library, computer, conference room, exercise room, laundry, optional activities etc. I like learning that the elevators have their own generator, so if you are on the upper floors you can always get down. Finding a community that share common interests is a good thing for Senior Citizens. Last things- there seems to be some great cooks here as I’ve seen a few shared dishes among them and some friendly good-hearted folks. Finally- these folks have some of the cutest (but fierce) little dogs here. Nice place. 5 Star, (but that does not mean perfect).
