Having recently spent more than 3 weeks in respite here at collington, I found the care and concern provided by the staff to be wonderful. Whether interacting with the medical & nursing staff or the aides who always provided thoughtful and through support; or the dining group who enabled residents to select their custom meals days in advance; interacting with the housekeeping staff who thoroughly cleaned the facilities each day; or the personal laundry

My sister and I toured Collington a few years ago for our parents, and it seemed very nice. However, at that time, we decided to go with a 55+ community. Fast forward a few years, my dad my dad had a stroke and needed rehab. The Collington nurse rejected him, stating that his needs were too complicated (despite the fact that he was ambulating and able to perform ADL's). Since that time, my dad has been diagnosed with progressive dementia and we needed to find permanent, assisted living housing with memory care. I considered Collington again, and again, I was denied and told that there are "no vacancies" in assisted living followed with, " This is a private facility ". If we could not afford Collington, we would not entertained it the FIRST time around. At any rate, I was not given any alternative options, until I received a follow up email from someone in the marketing dept. Bottom line, if you are able-bodied with no physical issues of any sort, Collington will welcome you with open arms. The moment you get "complicated", there are no vacancies. As a nurse myself, I find this despicable. It is already a difficult process to find appropriate care for your loved one. It's made even worse when the STAFF is a part of the problem. Stay woke people.
My father has lived in the Collington Community for more than 25 years, first in a Condo, then in an Apartment ( after my mother died), and now, at 99 after a stroke, he has round the clock care in the Chesapeake Unit. TO be sure no place is perfect and my family has also contracted for a private companion for my father for a few hours each day, 6 days a week to help him stay active and socially engaged. As a family, we are thankful for all that Collington has provided and most importantly, for a safe, supporting, community for my father in his later years. For most of my father's life at Collington he has been happy, thick with friends around his own age, and protected.
We have lived at Collington for 3 years. We love living here. We are surrounded by wonderful, interesting and caring neighbors. Our campus is beautiful with many walking trails and a little lake to enjoy. It is a great place for birdwatchers to live.There is no where else I would rather be during a pandemic. Our staff have worked hard to keep us safe and still find ways to be connected with one another.
My husband and I have lived at Collington for almost 10 years. We have been very happy here. The staff is caring and attentive and our management and our medical personnel have kept us safe and well cared for especially during their excellent mitigation efforts during the pandemic. We have many friends here and all we have talked to are grateful to be at Collington instead of alone in a house with no support. Collington is a wonderful community.
