Review

Choptank Assisted Living is described as a nice and clean community, although it may not be suitable for everyone. One reviewer mentioned that most of the residents there have Alzheimer's, while they still possess their mental faculties and are able to perform daily activities such as driving and walking. Despite this, the staff was commended for being very pleasant and accommodating. The rooms were also praised for being nice, and the dining area seemed appealing.

However, another reviewer felt that Choptank Assisted Living wasn't exactly what they were looking for. The fact that it is a two-story home posed a challenge for their mother who couldn't climb stairs. Additionally, at the time of the visit, there were no residents in the facility, which raised concerns about its future viability. The lack of flexibility in payment options was also a deterrent, as they were seeking something that accepted insurance or Medicare.

In terms of physical attributes, the facility itself was described as fine and located in a pleasant neighborhood. It is a relatively new house with basic amenities such as a living room, kitchen, dining room, and two bedrooms. With a maximum capacity of four residents only, it provides an intimate setting. Cleanliness was emphasized by multiple reviewers.

During one visit, there were no staff present at Choptank Assisted Living which made it difficult to gather information about the facility's operations. However, the spacious rooms impressed one reviewer, and they noted that the owner's presence during their tour added to the overall positive experience. Although stairs proved to be an obstacle for some patients like their father who had difficulty navigating them, plans were apparently underway to install a chairlift.

The family-run nature of Choptank Assisted Living stood out to reviewers who appreciated the accommodating nature of both the owner and staff members. The residential location offered an inviting atmosphere with features like a large wooden deck at the back of the house.

Lastly, another individual visited the facility with plans to send their mother there, and they were extremely satisfied with their experience. The owner demonstrated a willingness to work with them, addressing any specific needs their mother had. The reviewer highly recommended the facility for its intimate and homely environment, mentioning the availability of spacious individual rooms or rooms with one roommate.

Overall, Choptank Assisted Living presents itself as a nice and clean community, accommodating the needs of individuals with Alzheimer's. While it may not suit everyone due to factors such as limited payment options or physical accessibility challenges, it offers an intimate setting facilitated by a caring staff. The family-run nature of the facility adds a personal touch that some appreciate.
