Overall Review of Homewood at Frederick

common 23 reviews mention this

Staffing and care get mixed reviews

Residents describe strong day-to-day care, while some point to gaps during heavier periods.

Many reviews praise staff as helpful and caring, with families noting good nursing support and overall attentive service. Others raise concerns about staffing levels and reliability, including reports about overworked CNA staff, insufficient support during nights, and unanswered resident calls. Several reviewers also describe transitions to higher levels of care when needs increase, with mixed impressions about how responsive reassessment and follow-through are for changing conditions.

Food quality is a frequent highlight, though a few residents report disappointing dining experiences.

Multiple reviews call out food as excellent, including praise for delicious meals and the general quality of dining service for residents.

Activities and social life vary

Residents discuss a full activities calendar, with some saying engagement is inconsistent.

Several families and residents say there are plenty of activities and social events, including day trips and community-sponsored programming. A few reviews, however, describe limited activity availability—especially later in the day—or a lack of social vibrancy. During periods like COVID-19, one reviewer also felt stimulation and engagement were insufficient, with the daily routine becoming more passive than expected.

Cost feels very high for some

Pricing is described as expensive, particularly when service and responsiveness do not meet expectations.

Some reviews directly criticize the monthly cost, with claims that the rates were not worth what families experienced. Others highlight concern about additional charges and the overall affordability of the community, including one review describing the facility as the most expensive in the area. Even among positive comments, there are a few who frame cost as a key deciding factor, suggesting value depends heavily on the level of support delivered.

Facilities are described as well kept

Reviews repeatedly mention a clean, modern campus that is well maintained.

Many comments describe the community as clean, updated, and well maintained, with residents and visitors noticing a pleasant building look and upkeep.
