Wingate Senior Living

our tour was awesome and we found this community to be very nice. we chose another community because Wingate could not accommodate the different needs of my loved one and their partner.

My mother in law was a resident at Wingate Residences on the East Side for many years. She was very happy there and it felt like home. Staff were attentive and caring. The meals were wonderful and the special events were a highlight for her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wingate residences.

Every time I visit my mother there I am more impressed with the staff and the way things are so well run. It is a continuing rising level of pleasure and satisfaction to witness again and again the care and thought that goes into every aspect of this charming place. Look no further!

I have a loved one here and she is attended to with gentle interest and a strong sense of being encouraged to move about and experience movies, games, and meals in the dining room. They brought her out of her shell and made her a lovely home to be in and where it is easy to be relaxed and happy!! The staff, from the top down are exceptional!!

I spoke with the Inn and they were lovely. We actually have friends who have family members at this facility and they are very happy with their experience.

It is pretty pricey but from our understanding we do think the meals and dining service is pretty good. Also they do have activities for the residents who choose to participate in them.

The staff members are all very friendly and very kind. The care services were good we have had no complaints and our loved one seems to enjoy the meals. The only complaint he did have was just not being able to mingle with the other residents, have visitors and do the activities because of the covid restrictions. However we would still recommend this community to others.

The communication between the staff and the family was very good. they were very quick to return my calls and were very helpful. I would recommend this community to others. The community is very neat and clean also

They do a great job keeping the community clean, and I have been very satisfied with all of the care services they provide as well as the amenities.

From our understanding and from what our loved one have told us they seem be to be pretty satisfied with the meals. We think the communication has been very good.

We are very comfortable with the staff and the community is very clean. I highly recommend this community.

Recommended. Good care, convenient location.

I would recommend going to take a tour. I highly recommend it. The activities include: online concerts, bingo, physical activities, swimming pool. There are also afternoon lectures by the staff. They have some afternoon snacks. They are allowing visits in the lobby or outside and supplies for their residents rooms.

This community had a pleasant smell and didn't have a cleaner smell. I feel you get a lot for your buck. I felt the medical staff was good. The director wasn't as good. The nurses are very caring and the CNAs are great. There was always there to help with my loved one. The director stated he called us about my loved one and the National Guard. My family and I never received a call or message from the director. There is no follow up by the director. The food is good and that is a big deal. The meals are very good, and you can go and eat with your loved one. There is a variety of food. The reception area always has someone there and it is a family atmosphere.

I would highly recommend this community. We don't have anything negative to say about it. The staff has been helpful and reach out to us to give us updates. The room size was very comfortable for the residents in independent living. It is just enough space. The community and common areas are beautifully done.

Wingate is a nice place. The seem to really be on top of things and take good care of my mom. They are aware when she isn't feeling well and are quick to notify me and keep me informed of her care. I feel like they are doing a good job. There has been a little bit of staff turnover but I have found that my mother is still being well taken care of. We chose this community because we liked what we saw on our tour, it seemed like a smaller organization, and we liked the location. The building is a little dated but they are working on updates . I would recommend this community to other families.

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).

There are just few places for seniors who want a nice residence in the busy robust Washington, DC area without paying an arm and a leg! So when I discovered Hillside Senior Apts in Gaithersburg, MD, I could not believe it. No huge security deposit and move-in specials. Also, another reviewer stated this and its true, it doesn't have that "nursing home" feel or look. It used to be a Hilton Extended Hotel, so it has an outdoor entrance to each unit, incredible lobby, coffee station and outdoor area with huge pool and lots of outdoor lounge chairs with padded cushions. The apartments are huge when you compare them to newer ones. I would love to upgrade the carpet as I prefer thicker, but thick rugs would work. All utilities are included. That is something special to not have to worry about paying for utilities. The manager and all staff seems kind. Residents are friendly, some are busy working and others are more relaxed. Diverse resident population from retired engineer, retired teachers to working residents, retired home owners, and folks seeking a good deal, etc. Laundry is my only complaint, because you have to take your laundry down to the laundry room. The laundry room is nice, however, with sofa and TV. Grocery store, Weiss, is across the street and few other minor stores, DMV and Exxon. I do prefer Giant, Whole Foods or Safeway, but they are not in the immediate area, so its ok. Right off of I-95 and Frederick Road is about a block down where you could take a bus. Subway very close by. Community on one side of the apartment building seems established and quiet. I really like the residents that I have met so far. Because the building is practically full, security is not a huge worry as no one is isolated to themselves. If someone need emergency care, the medical team (ambulance) don't have to wait to enter the building as they can immediately access your unit from outside.

My husband lived at Melbourne (Wingate) on their Memory Care Unit. They were incredibly caring and knowledgeable, and I believe provide the very best memory care. Memory Care Director [name removed] is just the very best!

[Name removed] gave mom and I some awesome information that really helped us decide that Mom is not ready for assisted live yet. Wingate is a beautiful home and I will consider Wingate when mom is ready.
