If I could give this place a zero I would. Our experience at this nursing facility was heartbreaking, and I would never recommend trusting a loved one to their care. The facility itself was poorly maintained. There were roaches, ongoing leaks from the toilets and sinks, and the overall cleanliness was unacceptable for a healthcare environment. The quality of care was even more concerning. Nurses would regularly argue loudly with one another in the hallways in front of residents and visitors. It happened so often that I recorded one of the incidents and showed it to management, but nothing was done to address it. One of the most disturbing experiences involved another resident who was crying out in obvious pain. Staff repeatedly walked past her with little concern, and I overheard someone say they would “just give her Tylenol.” I felt compelled to check on her myself because no one else seemed to be helping. The following day I returned to see how she was doing, only to learn that she had passed away that night. It was devastating to know she spent her final hours seemingly without the comfort, urgency, or compassion every patient deserves. My family also had to be at the facility every single day because we could not rely on the staff to provide consistent care for my father. We frequently found that he had not been properly cleaned or changed, and we often had to advocate for basic care that should have been routine. The final straw came when we noticed that the left side of my father’s face had become paralyzed. We immediately alerted the nursing staff because we believed he was having a stroke. Instead of taking our concerns seriously, a nurse argued with us, insisted we were “misdiagnosing” him, and refused to act. We had no choice but to take him to the hospital ourselves, where it was confirmed that he had suffered a stroke. After he was discharged from the hospital, we immediately transferred him to another nursing facility because we no longer felt he was safe here. No family should have to fight this hard for basic care, cleanliness, compassion, and medical attention. Our experience was unacceptable, and I sincerely hope management makes meaningful changes before another family has to endure what ours did.

Picked this place initially as a SNF for my dad given it is walking distance to my home. It turned out to be a great decision. I know nursing home can be a real hit/miss, but Sterling is a hit! The staffs are attentive, responsive and in general very caring. We stay for close to 3 months and visited almost every day, so I can say it for a certainly as I see it on the daily. Highly recommended. 5 stars!

My mother is recovering here from knee replacement surgery and I am so grateful! Nurses here are great and JP, the physical therapist is a true standout. His positivity has helped my mom push herself even when in pain and she has already made tremendous improvements in her mobility. Grace, the activity director, is also a bright light! She is so kind and helped my mother feel so welcomed. And my mother is really enjoying the activities. If you have a loved one in care, you know it makes all the difference to know they are happy and well taken care of. I am so grateful to them!

If you have a loved one who can’t care for themselves and need constant attention (a nurse that at least goes every hour) DO NOT bring them here. Nurses take a very long time to show up. If there is no one in the room they will not receive the care and treatment they require. And do not get me wrong, the people are nice, but the attentiveness is not it. Nurses don’t do much either. In the five hours that i was there, the nurse only went to check up on my family member ONCE at 9PM and didn’t do nothing but do a covid test and that’s it. Since the first day we got to this nursing home, everything felt off! Also, the room was NOT ready. The cabinets and room its self was/is dirty and still had old belongings from the previous patient. The windows are super dusty. the bedside cabinet was super sticky on the top. I do not know how this place has almost five stars! people need to be more honest about EVERYTHING. Don’t give it a 5 star rating over a few positives when there are more negatives!

I had a great experience with Sterling Care Rockville. The staff was kind, attentive, and truly compassionate. They took the time to make sure that my sister was comfortable, cared for, and treated with respect. Communication was clear, and it was reassuring to see how dedicated the team is to providing quality care. I appreciate the hard work and professionalism of everyone there and would recommend Sterling Care Rockville to families looking for a supportive and caring nursing facility and rehabilitation.💕🙏🏼💙😇
