We placed my 94 year old mother here and she has loved it since day one. They make her feel so at home. My mother hates change but the way they have treated her has been wonderful. The place is very clean and orderly, can’t believe we got so lucky in choosing HeartFields at Frederick.

Mom is very happy at Heartfields. We chose it primarily for its convenient location in the Worman's Mill neighborhood of Frederick. However, we have been most pleased by the caring staff and their attentiveness to her needs.

When looking for an Assisted Living Facility for my 97-year-old mother, I knew as soon as I walked in the door that I had found the perfect place. Everything was centrally located and the staff were so warm and friendly. In addition to the facility, there is a wide variety of activities with something for everyone. My mother especially enjoyed the musical performances and loved to sing along. The caregivers were on a first name basis and Mom liked to tell them stories about her career as a school bus driver. If I had a question or concern about anything, the staff would resolve it to my satisfaction. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend HeartFields.

HeartFields Assisted Living has been a true blessing for our family. They took such excellent care of my mother-in-law, and now we’re seeing that same level of compassion and excellence with my father-in-law. You can genuinely tell that the staff truly cares about their residents. My father-in-law is always raving about how good the food is and how he feels supported- like everyone has his back. After trying other facilities, HeartFields is head and shoulders above the rest. This is a top-notch place, and we’re incredibly grateful.

HeartFields was a Godsend! A couple of months ago my sister and I were suddenly ambushed by the fact that my mother was no longer able to live with us at home anymore...she suddenly needed 24 hour care! HeartFields to the rescue! The care is top notch, the food is excellent and mom felt comfortable immediately in her new surroundings. The peace of mind that comes with knowing that she is thriving and loves her new home is beyond words! Thanks a million from the Staggers family!

My mother moved to Heartfields’s last June. She had been in her house for 65 years, and always said she would never leave. So we were worried about how difficult this move would be for her. Thanks to the kindness of everyone there, the friendliness and the lovely space, activities and food, she has adjusted better than we could have even hoped! I visit every day, and always feel welcomed by everyone! Thank you Heartfield’s for being such a wonderful new home for us all!

The staff here is so accommodating and helpful. Anytime I need something...they are always willing to help. Natasha always makes sure My Family Member has a nice clean room and if anything extra is needed she steps up. The Nursing Staff and CNAs do their best to always hear our concerns and keep us informed. We can even register our pups to visit which all the residents seem to love.

My husband and I are Power of Attorneys for a friend of ours who has been a resident at Heartfields Assisted Living of Frederick since May 2023. The staff is very friendly and kind. You can tell that they genuinely care about the residents there. The facility is not extremely large so it does not have a lot of residents which is which gives it a close, honesty feeling. The decor is very nice and is well maintained. They provide many different activities for the residents to participate in as well. Our friend that lives there is very happy there. We would highly recommend that you visit Heartfields when searching for Assisted Living care for your loved ones.

Heartfields is staffed with pleasant, helpful, caring people that work well together as team players. It is clean and cheerful with a beautiful outdoor courtyard. There is a great variety of food and plenty of activities. PT/OT is on sight and many other services come to you-vaccines, haircuts, dentistry, dermatology, etc. Super convenient. If you do need to leave for a doctor's appt., you can arrange wheelchair transport in a van. I am relieved to know that my Dad is being well cared for. My Dad has been in the Bridge to Recovery Memory Unit for 6 months. Peace of mind is priceless!

My parents are in their 90s and as much as my sister, brother, our spouses, and I did to keep them in their own home, it wasn't enough. It became obvious that their care and needs were beyond what we could provide, but having experienced other "facilities" with other aging family members, it wasn't something we wanted for our beloved parents until we visited Heartfields. Heartfields was so welcoming, from our first tour to everyone's help moving in and all the coordination in between. In no time at all, Heartfields felt like home not only to mom and dad but to us all! We have peace of mind knowing they are being cared for not only by such a skilled staff but by staff members that truely care about them. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, kind and compassionate. I feel like arms are wrapped around me when I enter Hearfields. It is so hard caring for aging parents even tougher to make the decision to move them into an assistant living community. Heartfields has been a blessing and I do get emotional thinking about how well my parents are being cared for. Now when I go to visit I don't have to be the caregiver, I can go visit and just be their daughter thanks to the entire staff at Heartfields. I highly recommend that if you are facing the daunting task of finding a great place to move your loved ones you must visit Heartfields for yourself.

This retirement community is simply wonderful! I highly recommend those looking for a lovely community for their loved ones to visit Heartfields at Frederick! No question about that! Besides the home being filled with terrific residents, having a clean, cheerful and bright environment, the staff should be much praised! Let me share...For almost 20 years, I have visited Heartfields Frederick to sing for the residents. I do this for many communities and this particular community has really touched my heart in a deep way. The Activities Coordinator, Melissa Hanshew, who has been an employee there for over 22 years (the longest employed worker there! She started when the building opened! ), is simply amazing! I see her genuine love for her "extended family"! I observe Melissa's passion to serve the community residents and as a result, these people's smiles are always ignited like the sun! They are always happy! Frankly, it's beautiful to watch every time I visit! They love this woman and they are genuinely happy! When I come to Heartfields, I can't wait to just observe that special connection that Melissa has with her residents! As she encourages people to attend the event, I notice how attentive the people are to her. They respect this recreational coordinator, they trust her with their lives and yes... I see that they love her as she clearly loves each and every one of her residents as like with her personal family! Melissa makes each person feel a part of the community circle. She is always attending to their needs and making them feel comfortable and appreciated! I love the decorations that adorn the activity room and other places throughout the building to make the place pop with energy and vibrant life all about! Melissa and her staff always make the community happy and festive throughout the year from what I observe! There is diversity and creativity with each program that I have been a part of and I am extremely impressed. I truly get the impression that Ms. Hanshew is using her activities skills and budget in the most wisest of ways to facilitate establishing the highest level of morale and happiness that a community could ever experience! I see how Melissa is so hospitable in the way that she personally serves each resident and or instructs assistants to help with the tasks, as well. I am also very impressed with how her "family" treats Melissa like their very own daughter! They love her! Everyone does! I also see how well she gets along with other staff members. She's easy-going and you feel so at peace when you talk with her. You feel accepted and not judged. She's a true kind and compassionate human being in the finest way! The residents excitedly make their way and joyfully take their seats every time! They have this look on their face when Ms. Hanshew communicates with the people. It really warms my heart. Lastly, I have noticed how well organized the activities coordinator is. The calendar is always filled with fun events, projects etc.. And it appears that everything is very organized and well orchestrated every time I am present! So, I could keep going on and on about Melissa and her excellent staff but that would take an entire day to do so. The long and short of it is that your loved one will be extremely happy and fulfilled at Heartfields and especially because of the way that they will be cared for in the Activities Department! No question, they will receive much wonderful stimulation and fulfillment with what's going on under Melissa Hanshew's leadership! My hat goes off to her and her long tenure at this community! Congratulations Heartfields!

My mother resided here for 4 years. Their director is a registered nurse and has been at the facility for over 20 years. Compared to similar facilities, staff appear to have a positive retention rate which gives residents a sense of familiarity and confidence in care along with a family atmosphere. Meals are tailored to individual desires, presented attractively and with attention to nutritional needs. Rooms are kept clean and personalized nursing staff is attentive to residents needs and ancillary care by different care practices is available. A variety of recreational opportunities are available and tailored to the individual. The personalized care offered was of great importance to us. Our time at this facility was definitely positive.

Heartfields was the absolute best care for my Aunt Karen when we moved her from Baltimore to Frederick to be close to family. My Aunt suffered from a very rare disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and the staff at Heartfields did an amazing job caring for her during her last year or so in life. The staff took the time to get to know my Aunt and family and everyone was always so friendly while we were there visiting. They were quick to call if something happened to my Aunt and always kept us informed on how she was doing. They truly helped keep her comfortable until she was ready to go home to the Lord. I appreciate everyone that worked with my Aunt there and also the staff from Sheppards Staff who also helped care for her too. I miss seeing everyone at HeartFields and would recommend them if you are looking for a place for your loved one to call home.

Kind but inadequately staffed assisted living facility with little to no dementia training to serve their residents. Few daily activities are actually carried out dispite their calendar. Local entertainers and musicians frequently entertain residents in the common living room area.

The staff go out of their way to be kind and helpful. It's a beautiful place and small enough for everyone to know each other. If you or someone you love need assisted living, this is a place that will make you feel good about your choice. We have one relative living here and the staff care about the rest of the family and always make us all feel welcome.

First rate facility and willing to accommodate all needs. Sad to have to move my sister but selfishly want her closer to me. Inclement weather required a delay and the staff was so helpful and generous keeping her a few extra days! My sister feels like she's leaving her second family. We all highly recommend this facility!

Discovering Heartfields Assisted Living at Frederick, Maryland, has been a blessing not only for our family but also for Mom. The staff goes above and beyond all of my expectations in their gentle care and personal interest in her health and happiness. Mom especially likes the varied entertainment programs, group sing-a-longs, walking and exercise programs and loves the attention she receives when the staff calls her by name and prepares her favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs! Management has definitely set the bar very high and it shows up in everyone on the staff!

I found Heartfields Bridges to Rediscovery over a year ago when the assisted living community where my mother was living was not adequate for her needs. I was immediately drawn to this small caring community, with a homelike feel and knew it would be the best placement for mom. My mom needed a secure environment but also needed the ability to still feel independent. The secure outside area was perfect for her to walk or just sit on the shaded porch and enjoy the flowers and birds. The staff genuinely cares for my mom and because of the small community everyone gets to know one another, making it feel like a family.

We found Heartfields for my father last year when his dementia had progressed to such a point that independent living in another facility was no longer possible. While other facilities we looked at insisted that he be put immediately into memory care or outright refused him for "difficult" behaviors, Heartfields welcomed him into their assisted living, where he was able to keep a beloved cat that helped to keep him grounded, live in a room where loved ones could spend the night, and keep some level of independence. I spent a great deal of time at Heartfields and found all of their staff to be attentive, caring, and responsive. The size of the facility meant that everyone received individual care. And when hospice became necessary, they provided my father and all of us who loved him with a loving and peaceful environment and continued support. I cannot recommend Heartfields enough to families with loved ones struggling with dementia.

In February of this year Mom had a bad heart incident (she'd had a heart attack in Oct 2014). This time she was hospitalized for a time, and then sent to a rehab near her home in NJ, as she was not able to care for herself at all. This really escalated her dementia. Luckily a few years back, she allowed us to get power of attorney and we start looking for an assisted living facility in Maryland. She lived in NJ at the time. We were hoping it wouldn’t be so soon, but it was. She went from essentially living at home to needing full-time care. Holding any type of lengthy conversation was just not possible, let alone cooking, feeding herself and the like. We were able to move her to Heartfields of Frederick this past March. At that time, she was unable to walk or even help herself in and out of bed. She needed a lift to assist her. Due to this she was moved into the Memory Care unit. Soon after arriving she developed pneumonia and spent a week in the hospital. Her mental state improved dramatically after her discharge and with the advice of her cardiologist they reduced one of her medications. The changes in her, and her recovery were dramatic. I asked the Resident Services Director, Garland Boltz, if Mom was now aware enough to move out of the memory unit into the assisted living section. She immediately agreed, and Mom was moved. The change has been as dramatic with her return as it was for her decline. She’s going through physical therapy and learning to walk with a walker (she was wheelchair bound for 8+ months). When I visit she and I talk for an hour at a time. She’s also making friends with the other residents. It’s great that she’s back!

I'm so happy we were able to have Mom move into Heartfields. The staff there is so nice making it easier for her to adjust to her new home. The community is smaller than most and more personable. She enjoys all the activities they provide. I feel Mom is receiving the best of care there. I highly recommend Heartfields of Frederick for anyone needing senior care.

Huge Thank you to the Heartfield's team. They went above and beyond in helping the Frederick Senior Center celebrate Older American's Month. Chef Lori prepared a wonderful "Taste of Spain" dinner. Everything was delicious, and the event ran without a hitch. Nothing but compliments from the 100 person crowd that enjoyed the evening. Thanks again for all your support!

It is with appreciation and gratitude that I offer this commendation of the management and staff at Heartfields Assisted Living in Frederick, Maryland. My mother-in-law has been a resident at Heartfields for eight years, and my father was a resident for three years prior to that. Throughout these years, the management at Heartfields”particularly Anita Evans, has demonstrated the utmost professionalism, providing careful attention to the needs of our loved ones and offering immediate and successful response to any requests for assistance and advice. Without fail, we confidently counted on the management to ensure the maintenance of high-quality care and attention to the individual needs of the residents. Likewise, the nursing staff, guided throughout the years by Sue McLane, has been consistently superb”extremely knowledgeable, professional, dedicated, and sensitive to the needs of the residents and family. The nursing staff always worked with us to assure the high quality of medical care that they provided, consulting with us, advising us, answering our questions, and interacting with all the external health care professionals who attended to our parents. The caretakers, under the able guidance of Melissa Rohrbach, always performed their challenging duties responsibly and with clear caring and affection for the residents”also working constantly with us to assess and respond to the individual needs of the residents. And upon entering the facility or contacting via phone, the admin staff made one feel welcome and demonstrated eagerness to help. All the staff shared a common spirit of integrity, dedication, compassion, and cooperation”toward the residents and toward their families. Our parents have passed, but we are greatly comforted by the knowledge that we found a marvelous place where they could receive superb care in a supportive environment. After all these years, we consider the Heartfields staff as family, because that is the way they treated us and our parents. Jim McGee

I visit my 100 1/2 year old Father several times each week. His quarters "exceed expectations" (his own words). As we watch a 2 hour-long DVD (drawn from the 1930s-1950s with subtitles), a nurse assistant shows up about twice to check on Father's well-being. As I depart, Father presses a button and someone appears, generally before I reach the door to his quarters. Heartfields at Frederick offers age-peer companionship at meals which is something I could not do at home. There is transportation to and from his various medical appointments: Father thoroughly enjoys the ride. Both of my out-of-state my sisters have visited Father, and we plan to eat with him at Heartfields during the Holidays. Reception is also, always welcoming to me. "Two thumbs Up!" --John George (Frederick, MD)
