After looking closely at several assisted living facilities in Harford County, we chose Amazing Grace for my 90 year old mother. She is happier than I have seen her in years and I cannot say enough positive things about the facility and staff at Amazing Grace. Joyce and her husband Dave renovated this huge home to the highest standards and it is spotlessly clean and beautiful. The furnishings are all new. The staff all live locally and now feel like family. They give the residents of Amazing Grace personal attention and are genuinely caring. The meals are home cooked and accommodate all dietary needs. Residents are encouraged to participate in activities, but also have plenty of personal space. They are not "lost in the crowd" as they might be in larger facilities. The staff keeps a daily diary and it can be reviewed by family members, who are always welcome to visit. They also text photos to families. My mother receives help with bathing and keeping track of her medication. Her laundry is done frequently and her clothes returned neat and folded. Joyce is familiar with the paperwork required by long term care insurance companies and has been helpful with the insurance process. She and Dave are at Amazing Grace daily and also accessible via text, phone and email. The night staff checks in on the residents and are there to assist with using the bathroom. Moving my mother to Amazing Grace has allowed our family to relax and know that she is happy and receiving the attention and care that she needs. It was a much easier and less costly alternative to in-home care. Monthly charges at Amazing Grace are competitive with other highly rated facilities in Harford County and very transparent. We have not seen unexpected charges. I have very high standards and can wholeheartedly recommend Amazing Grace. Families of other residents share my sentiments. UPDATE six years later my mother is still at Amazing Grace and the superb level of care continues. Joyce and Dave have opened a second facility in Bel Air and it is equally nice with a compassionate staff and family atmosphere.

Choosing an assistant living for a love one is the most difficult and hardest decision you can make and we chose wrong the first time for my mom. Then we found Amazing Grace Assistant Living in the summer of 2018, that change my mother's life and ours forever. Before the doors opened for new residents, we contacted the owners, Dave and Joyce Apperson to arrange for a tour with mom. Upon meeting them you could see the pride and joy in their facility and commitment to the highest level of care to the elderly. Knowing Joyce 's background in nursing and geriatrics, made us feel very secure that she would be receive the best care. As we toured this historic home, it was beautifully restored, but upgraded for the resident's safety and comfort. Each room was distinctively different, decorated and cheerful, not drab, like living in a bed and breakfast. It was the first time in months that mom had smiled, so we knew this was it, her forever new "home". She was their first resident until she passed away at Amazing Grace surrounded by family and her Amazing Grace Family. In those 3 years, i have never seen mom more happy, and knowing how content and happy she was, it made our life better. The staff is wonderful and caring, even at my mom's final days, the staff stayed with her, she was never alone. I have so many pictures of mom and the staff that the staff took. They would do her nails so she felt special and beautiful. Dave and Joyce always sent updates and pictures of the residents enjoying the wonderful entertainment. Their Chef, always made mouth watering meals from farm to table, and always included mom even though she was gluten free. Price for this was very competitive and you got so much more at no extra cost. Moms laundry was always folded or neatly hung in her closet and in 3 yrs, they never lost a single item. Amazing grace gave my mother peace, dignity of growing old gracefully. She had friends, companionship, and lived her life to "her" fullest potential . It gave us peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care of and loved. Best of all we made friends, that we will never forget. I highly recommend. it is truly Amazing.
My grandmother currently stays with Amazing Grace and has been for some time now, the staff is extremely attentive and caring to the residents needs. They truly take care of my grandmother in the way that I would if I was working there. I know she is looked after and treated with respect. Great work and thank you to the wonderful staff.
I go to this facility with my pet as a Paws on Wheels representative. This is a very very nice assisted living facility in a completely renovated 19th century mansion. The residents have private rooms and there is a full kitchen in which their home-cooked meals are prepared in. It is a wonderful place and on a beautiful piece of property. It is extremely clean and well cared for with a very attentive staff.
