My dad has gotten the best care here. This is his second time being here for rehabilitation. All of the staff members are friendly, polite and very contentious of their patients. I would recommend Lorien Encore to anyone/everyone

I moved into Lorien Encore three months ago. During the previous 18 months I had been living in another assisted living facility elsewhere ln Ellicott City. The experience of the last 90 days has proved to be a significant improvement in the care I have received. At the previous venue they were so short staffed that it often was 45 minutes an hour before staff would respond to a request for service … at Lorien is usually within 20 minutes [with an exception at times of shift changes]9. The quality of staff is also exceptional. I include in my ‘hall of fame’, people like aides Phe and Rosa, who are training the next generation of caregivers. The food is institutional but is quite good for institutional meals…. The desserts for lunch and dinner are the highlights of every meal so I can’t recommend this place to diabetics or people looking to lose weight but the chocolate Oreo pie is truly worth splurging on. The final criteria in my evaluation is the training of the staff working with Parkinson’s patients. At the previous facility I could not trust the staff to be sensitive to the timing of medications that is so critical to those with Parkinson’s disease. I self medicated. Here I was sufficiently confident in the med tech team to turn over that function to them. This Lorien facility has special certification in Parkinson’s care and has a director of Parkinson’s programs. This includes at least five days per week of exercise. This is consistently presented in a way that inspires participation even by those of us who have avoided working out for more than 60 years. I attribute some improvements in my health to the move to Lorien. ..

A family member was recently a patient in sub-acute rehab at Lorien Encore in Turf Valley. We had a super positive experience with the social work coordinator Judy Dixon-Lloyd. She worked thoughtfully and diligently to facilitate superb discharge planning. As is often the case, the perspectives of the patient, the PT/OT staff, and the family do not align, and she skillfully managed this to put together a plan acceptable to all parties. We appreciate the time, energy and communication skills it took to make that happen!

We were fortunate to place my elderly Mother at Lorien-Encore at Turf Valley for rehab following a hospital stay to help her regain strength to return home. The facility is bright and welcoming, and the food is of decent quality. The PT & OT staff and facilities are wonderful- shout out to Gillian & Frederick who really care and know just how much to “push” their patients without overextending them! The floor staff (nurses and aides) are also exceptional! They are compassionate, caring and provided dignity to promote and encourage healing. A HUGE shout out to DeAnte, Toni, Mela & Kendall, Valentina and Jackie. These folks went above and beyond every single day they were on shift and we are beyond grateful! There are also many activities and social gatherings for residents which is wonderful! Additionally, upon discharge, Judy arranged for home health care to continue - another burden off our plate and so appreciated! If you’re looking for care for a loved one- we HIGHLY recommend Lorien Encore- all facilities in Maryland should emulate their approach for caring for our elders!

My Dad who is 83 years old and is presently in the Sub Acute Rehabilitation at Encore and I am happy to report after 2 weeks he will be coming home this Sunday. The staff there to include all parties involved in my Dads care have been truly amazing, caring and compassionate. My Dad ate well and gained weight back and his mobility to be able to go back home independently. So thank you to everyone including Judy the director for a job well done and for making my Dads stay there more tolerable
