I have lived independently at Fort Washington Estates in a one bedroom apartment since October of 2022. My apartment is lovely and very comfortable. Fort Washington Estates has a wonderful housekeeping staff who keep it very clean. I find the food to be top notch and the grounds are well kept and beautiful. We have an engaging and helpful staff. The medical personnel respond quickly with compassion always making you feel cared for. What I like best about living at Fort Washington Estates is the social aspect. There are many daily activities such as game nights, weekly entertainment, fitness classes, and wellness activities. Moving into the community at Fort Washington Estates was one of the best decisions I have made at this time in my life. Please come and visit and see everything that Fort Washington Estates has to offer.

"Where loving kindness lives." This is the motto at Fort Washington Estates and it lives in every nook and cranny. From the servers (mostly High School students and a few returning college students) in the Dining Room to the maintenance folks ~kindness abounds! This is not a put on but a natural, loving outpouring of care and concern. I couldn't have found a better place. The activities that are offered here are incredible and are planned with great creativity. The opportunities are endless. It all starts at the top and the Directors are responsive and caring. Who could ask for more?! I highly recommend Fort Washington Estates as a perfect option for senior living.

I have been a resident at the Fort for close to eight years. I have no regrets. The entire staff at the Fort are caring, polite and always willing to do anything or the residents.

My mother-in-law was a resident at Fort Washington Estates for three years, and our experience was mixed. On the positive side, her apartment was lovely, she enjoyed the meals, and many of the staff members were kind and caring. The chaplain, in particular, was a wonderful support to our family.<br>However, there were serious concerns that affected our overall impression. One night, she fell and remained on the floor for seven hours because no one responded to her call bell—a deeply troubling incident. When we reached out for help, the administration often seemed indifferent and uncooperative. It wasn’t until we contacted the CEO of ACTs that we were able to get her scheduled for physical therapy. We also encountered resistance when she temporarily required a higher level of care.<br>After her passing, the finance office declined to provide the information my wife needed for the inheritance tax, which led to us overpaying.<br>While there were caring individuals at the facility, the lack of responsiveness from leadership and the mishandling of critical situations prevent me from rating it higher. I’m giving three stars primarily because of the kind staff and the quality of her living space.
