The OAL staff at every level have shown the dedication and patience to get to know my loved one. Carrie and the entire leadership team have created a family like environment that is welcoming and engaging. I couldn't possibly list all of the individuals who have made a difference but I would like to highlight a few. Cynthia displayed the perfect balance of care, professionalism, and support as we we began the search process almost 3 years ago. We chose OAL because of her! Suzanne has been a lifeline for me regarding all non-medical issues that continuously pop up. I live 2 hours away so I have peace of mind knowing I can count on her. Chrissy helped me extensively during a challenging time with my brother's health. She provided constant communication and honest feedback; but also listened to all my concerns, which was so important to me at that time. Pam and Zach are the dynamic duo bringing energy, structure and fun to each and every day. They, and the activities they implement, have truly been a difference maker for my brother! I am so thankful and grateful for the entire team of care partners who juggle so many roles and responsibilities however I need to give a shout-out to Genevieve, Melissa, Phillip and Thomas who have embraced my brother's uniqueness and take care of his needs. And finally, Rosa is not only a fantastic housekeeper; but a ray of sunshine who brightens my brother's day! It gives me such peace of mind knowing my brother has the OAL family to keep him safe, comfortable and happy.

My wife has been at OAL for two months. I have been extremely impressed by the caring staff that are genuinely concerned about the health and happiness of the residents from the frontline caregivers to the nursing, culinary, enrichment, front desk, and management staffs. I appreciate the openness of communication that exists between the various staffs and the resident's family. Placing a loved one in a care facility is never an easy decision but OAL has been the right decision for my wife. Many thanks, to Sonia, Abbey, Zach and Melinda for their assistance in easing this transition for my wife.

The staff at OAL are amazing! I truly couldn't ask for a better team of people to take care of my father. It's clear that they genuinely care about their residents and they go above and beyond to keep them engaged and happy. I'm greeted with smiles every time I walk in. I'm very thankful for their compassion and care!

It takes a team of dedicated, skilled professionals in all positions to provide the safe, clean, caring, dedicated and engaging memory care available at OAL. Carrie Brister, Executive Director, hires staff with the right heart and sees that they are well trained, initially and on an on-going basis. The Health and Wellness team of Melinda Csorba, Ramatu Ibrahim, Chrissy Meadows, Godwin Mbakwe, Mariatu Showers, and Althelia Tubman provide top-level care and responsiveness to health concerns 24/7. Zach Bolton, Director of Life Enrichment, has implemented many amazing, meaningful activities that keep my 92 year old mother engaged and active. Zach's assistant, Pam Barrett, has my undying gratitude for her exuberance, devotion and care when facilitating activities including my weekly calls to my mother. The Care Partner staff who do all the daily care are a god-send. I thank Emebet Teklemariam and Genevieve Kouame in particular. There are many more but I live out of state and am not familiar with other Care Partners. My thanks also to the Environmental Services staff of David Surin, Clara Lesueur and Rosa Molina who understand the value of being friendly, kind and thorough while keeping the facility clean and free of odor. Many thanks also to the responsive, helpful and efficient Cynthia Ward (always with a big smile), Heather Weiss, Bea Carabante and Lynette Clark. The total care of my mother is my top priority. I made the right choice when I selected OAL 8 years ago.

I am thankful that OAL has such kind, innovative, dedicated staff as Zach Bolton, and Pam Barrett in the Life Enrichment Program. It makes such a difference in the life of the residents and my mother especially. The activities program really stimulates her physically and mentally with the arts & crafts and educational activities. They treat each resident as if they are the only one and special. We are going into mom Daisy's second year in OAL now. Grateful to all the staff who provide service seamlessly.

It takes a village to care for someone with dementia, and therefore, I have lots of people to recognize at Olney Assisted Living. And, there will be people that I miss unintentionally as they work on the night shift, or behind the scenes. OAL has been a gift to our family, and I'd like to acknowledge Genevieve Kouame, Melissa McLeod, Pam Barrett, Zach Bolton, Thomas Kamara, Althelia Tubman, Chrissy Meadows, Melinda Scorba, and the whole leadership/Admin team. One of the areas where OAL knocks it out of the park is communication; we all know what Mom needs and how I can help OAL do their best for Mom. Communication is key and OAL does a fabulous job in my opinion (and we've been other places!).

My mother was at OAL for 3 years and it was also during Covid 2020-2022. OAL had very few problems with Covid and handled it per the CDC requirements. I don't know what I would have done if I still had my mother in her home. Also so many sweet caregivers took good care of my mother. It is a very difficult journey taking care of a loved one with dementia and at OAL you find yourself becoming one big family. When my mother did pass at the age of 94, OAL was wonderful supporting my family during our grief. I still visit OAL and enjoy seeing the staff, employees, residents and family members.

Very hard to single out a particular staff member in particular as each associate and staff member at OAL I have interacted with is caring, kind and supportive of the residents and family members. However, Pam Barrett is exceptional!

All of the neighborhood care givers and staff at OAL, including administrative, maintenance, housekeeping, culinary, medical, and social, daily demonstrate their commitment to the kind and respectful care of residents. Today my shoutout is to Lina Dimasuay who I regularly observe being attentive, with a smile and a kind word, to the needs of residents even when she is not performing her regular responsibilities of a Med Tech.

The OAL team is caring, professional, and highly skilled. We especially appreciate the life enrichment programs that Zach Bolton coordinates. The regular morning and afternoon programs are varied and keep my mom having fun. Zach went to great lengths to schedule a Catholic priest to come on a recurring basis and has also organized field trips that my mom loves - both very important to Mom. We have incredible peace of mind that she is happy and well cared for!

My Mom was at Olney for over 2 years and during that time the care she received was outstanding. The compassion, kindness and love from all the staff towards her and our family helped us to have her in their care. I cannot recommend this facility enough if you are seeking memory care for your loved one. We are forever grateful to her caretakers and support staff for all they did for our Mom.

My Mom recently passed but was a resident at Olney Assisted Living for over 5 years and during that time received excellent care. I would give this facility very high marks in regard to resident care, communication, and transparency. The facility director does an amazing job of keeping families updated on operational changes and the entire nursing staff (both Registered Nurses and Nursing Assistants) always kept me well informed about any changes in Mom's condition. Dementia/Alzheimer's is a difficult disease process and having to move a loved one out of their home and into a place that is "not home" is a hard thing to do. But Olney Assisted Living is special. The facility is smaller and you won't find a fancy chandelier or someone playing the piano in the lobby but what you will find is an AMAZING staff who genuinely has a passion and a calling to care for people.

The team at Olney Assisted Living serves as servant leaders. I first met Dena a few months ago, and I can vouch for her sincere passion for caring for the elderly. Olney Assisted Living is skilled at educating the public and other professionals in addition to caring for elders with dementia.

Olney Assisted Living is a wonderful quaint community for your loved ones in need of memory care. The team goes above and beyond to assist seniors and their families throughout the Montgomery County area. They host webinars and in-person events to assist and support family caregivers to provide the best care for their loved one. They even provide short stay respite care to give families a break. I especially love their one floor living with a beautiful patio and back yard with a view of nature. I highly recommend them to anyone needing to place their loved one into special care for the memory impaired.

You won't be disappointed. They are very active in the community which is a plus and shows their commttment to the community and care. Don't delay stop by and ask for Dena.

If you take away nothing else from my review, Olney Assisted Living is the place you’ve been searching for that will treat you and your loved one with a respect and compassion far superior to anywhere my mom ever lived before. When you visit, you will see the staff treat each other and the residents like family. I never felt I had to make sure they were properly caring for my mom- it was clear they were providing great care and truly just wanted her to be happy. I wish I had found this place much earlier. I had no idea a place like this existed from the Executive Director, Carrie, who makes herself available at any time, to the amazing nursing staff, wonderful activities staff and dedicated caretakers. Olney Assisted Living knows this population and how to best care for them. I just can’t sing their praises high enough.

Amazing place, facilities are cozy, well taken care of and the staff members are very attentive. They hosts a Lots of activities according to the needs of the residents. This is a perfect place if your relative needs a memory care. Dena, the Director of Community relations will guide you through the whole process and she is always available with great attitude to help the residents and their family members.

My sister and I looked at several assisted living communities for our mother. We are very happy that our mother is presently living at OAL. Mom has been at OAL for five months. She is content and safe. I cannot say enough good things about the professional directors and friendly staff. At OAL Mom is valued and the care provided is personalized. The director, Carrie, continuously seeks ways to improve care. Carrie’s monthly Family Zoom meetings where general updates and concerns are discussed are invaluable.

My mom joined Olney Assisted Living at the end of January 2022. She had initial concerns at the beginning because its a new place and she did not know anybody. I have not seen her happier now. OAL treats the residents with respect and practice the ARTIS way. I am so glad she has found a home in OAL.

My Mom has been at OAL for about 4 years. Her care has been great and the staff has always been responsive to her needs and to our questions. Carrie, the director, is very connected to families and along with regular emails, holds a monthly family zoom to keep us up to date on happenings at Olney. We have appreciated her regular contact so much particularly in this COVID environment. The facility is small and just the right size for those with dementia to navigate. We feel lucky that we found OAL for Mom.

This is a beautiful dementia-specific community with a dedicated staff who are committed to helping not just residents but their family caregivers as well. I have worked with Christina Green for many years who is their Director of Marketing and Community Relations. Whats great about Christina is that she has a background also in managing dementia senior living communities. Families are in good hands when meeting with Christina.

This is the third, and best facility we have used. In the year my wife has lived here, care has been reassuring. Its outside sidewalk around the three sides of the building enable her and visitors to stroll outside safely. She loves sunshine and a breath of fresh air, having been a swimmer much of her life. She is on her feet often walking about in the sectors or neighborhoods of the facility. The staff know her location enough to tell where she recently is or was, or will find her for visitors. Staff informs me of changes in health status by phone. Meals are served in the local dining room, and are attractive. To treat a recurring problem of early morning falls in the previous assisted living home, a tumbling mat is placed next to her bed overnight. This exemplifies the quality of skilled care among the staff. Entry and exiting involve staff control, a bit more secure for residents but slower for non-residents. OAL is a relatively fresh memory care facility with cheerful ambiance, safety, space for residents, plentiful diversions and social activity. I am thankful to use this for my wifes care and my peace of mind. Much -needed memory care around the clock Thus family can sleep better at night.

The first experience I had was talking to Rhonda Thomas who was kind, knowledgable and made me feel so comfortable. We went to see the OAL this past Friday and my first impressions were warmth, caring and compassion, not to mention the bright, beautiful, safe environment, friendly smiling staff (everyone!), and happy residents. Our mom is going to get a second chance at living LIFE again! We cant wait! More to come....many thanks!
