Lighthouse Senior Living at Rose Manor LLC for Ellicott City

It's a very beautiful and clean facility. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the days are packed with activities. Quality is generally high. The facility is under new management and a new owner. I literally haven't even had any correspondence from the new owners or managers to tell me who is taking peoples place that have left. It's a little bit of a cluster right now. We definitely have had some problems even with the old staff making sure that finance stuff happens correctly and that medicines are set up correctly and shower days and things. It's kind of been a lot harder than I thought it would be for what this facility seemed like it was. Overall, I would recommend this facility to friends and family.

Loved one, seems to likes the food, and is happy. They offer a lot of activities. They are taking good care of my loved one, and I am happy with the care that they are recieving. I picked Lighthouse because was easier to work with, and they were very accomodating.

I really liked Lighthouse Senior Living and my husband is happy over here. Overall it has been a very good experience.

My mom is a resident at the Lighthouse "Village"!! There is not enough kind words for me to say about the Lighthouse and their employees than they have given me the "Warm and Fuzzy's" from the 1st time I spoke with them on the phone! They take such wonderful care of my mom! and for that I am so grateful!!

I would recommend this community for your loved one. When I went there two of my loved ones also had family there and the first thing that they told me is that we were going to love it. Just to have that feeling and to be at ease made my day. The staff are excellent with the residents and go above and beyond.

I would recommend this community to others based on my experience. The only issue is maintenance requests can take too long to complete and their communication could be bettter

The community is nice, and clean. They are willing to work with the residents. The staff are accessible to speak to and answer any questions or concerns I may have about my loved one. Crafts, singing, exercises, and more are available for the residents to choose from for activities.

Just want to let you know how insanely happy our family member is living at Lighthouse! He told us this weekend how much he loves it there. But I have to say, I think the best thing about it is… The food! He cannot stop raving about Chef [name removed] and the wonderful, delicious food! Today he said that the cornbread is as good as his sister used to make and that it tastes like cake! But there are other wonderful things, too… Like the warm and friendly welcome he has received from everyone on the staff, the beautiful grounds for walking or sitting outside reading on a pretty day... and I’m sure much more to be discovered in the upcoming days and weeks. It’s been a wonderful transition for him, and our family deeply appreciates everything!

I toured Lighthouse twice, both times with friends who were looking for their moms. It's very pretty, clean, looks like they keep up with the decor and furnishings. The people we interacted with all were friendly and the people who live there were out and doing things (not like the couple of other places we saw). A man who lives there, who was sitting in the dining room when we stopped there said, "the food is great, thumbs up." Also, my friend said that the rates were comparable to the other places she looked at, but it was much nicer (I didn't go to all of them with her). This is where I found the places that we looked at, so I thought I'd come back and write a review.

Do your research before signing the contract. Check survey reports, both annual and complaints. Research medical malpractice lawsuits settled and pending. Meet with department heads and ask whether they are willing to accommodate special requests, particularly dietary preferences. Ask the director how complaints are handled and gauge for yourself whether she is realistic and honest, or looking to sweep issues under the proverbial rug. Question the nursing team as to their communication with families and handling of falls and other incidents. If these responses don't leave you with a feeling of comfort, keep looking! Decide for yourself why this facility is the cheapest in the area.

My loved one was in the memory care unit (the Village) at Lighthouse Senior Living. Before you put your loved one in the Village, you need to invest some hours on each of several days and nights to observe the level of care that is provided. Observe meal time. Observe the care that is provided between meals. Observe how the various and individual needs of the residents are addressed. Observe the interactions among residents. Observe the contentment/wellbeing of the residents. Observe the interactions among staff. Observe the contentment of the staff. Observe several hours on each shift, 7-3, 3-11, 11-7. Ask questions about [removed] ratios (for each shift), [removed] ratios (for each shift). Ask questions about the rate of resident falls, intestinal illnesses, bruises, skin tears, 911 trips to the hospital. Understand what expectations Lighthouse holds with regard to the wellbeing of the residents. Only then will you be able to decide if your expectations can be met by Lighthouse.

I overall have no complaints about this community, the staff have all been so friendly and they have made sure that my mother is comfortable and feels safe in her new living environment. She also really seems to be enjoying the meals they serve as well as the variety of activities they offer throughout the day.

We toured 6 different senior care facilities, 4 in Ellicott City and 2 in Catonsville. We chose Lighthouse for many reasons: it is the closest to our home, it has only one level, the residents seem well cared for, caring & friendly staff and it has a memory care unit on site. The building is being remodeled and several new rooms are being added. My mother moved into one of the new studio apartments. It's a nice size, brand new unit. I also like the location of their building on a quiet street with light traffic. I think after the construction is finished Lighthouse will be very attractive.

great facility and staff....Unfortunately, I was not told that they test daily for legionella, as in legionnaires disease. This is hidden from the residents and families. This is why you never see staff drinking the water. The management team of Sage is harsh and bully the staff. They manage by fear. The floor staff is great.

They have almost everything. They have physical therapists who come in. The room has gigantic windows that look out on something beautiful. This was so important to us. It’s like her own place, just smaller. The price really impressed me. Everything’s included except for phone. The people in my mother’s section are all about on the same level. She’s improved so much since she’s been there, regaining abilities and interest. We’re pretty pleased over all. My mother has never been someone who does a lot of activities. They come to get her for activities like movies at 7:30 or bingo.

My husband and I find Lighting Living the very best. These people really are care-givers. They really care and take great care of your person there; in my case, my brother. Active, alive, moving, watching, fixing, doing laundry, giving meds, entertaining and making sure they come to activities are among the many qualities we find. Professional and efficient with warmth - that is a quality place. Thanks for asking.

I have been in touch with the Director. Lighthouse Senior Living is in the same place as the old Rose Manor which had a terrible reputation. She has assured me that they did not hire any of Rose Manor's staff. My parents are reluctant about this place for the reason of the bad reputation of the former place.
