Able Plus Assisted Living - Silver Spring, Maryland

My elderly friend was in a downward spiral after a fall he experienced at his independent living facility. From there he went to the hospital and was later discharged to a large institutional assisted living facility where he was mostly bed ridden. Unbeknownst to us he had a wound on the bottom of his foot. He's a diabetic. And somehow the staff never noticed the wound. It became infected, and he eventually had gang green. It was only a family member that found the wound and brought it to the staff's attention. As soon as we could, we wanted to move him to a better quality facility.
Able Plus Assisted Living was recommended by MoCo office for the aging. After our first meeting with Ada, she knew the expertise and level of care our dear friend would need. We felt very comfortable and confident. As time went on our friend's experience confirmed our impressions. Ada stays on top of things. Her staff are skilled and very thoughtful. Our friend would often relay stories and conversations he had with the staff regularly. They were very good about communicating with us about any issues our friend was having. Everything was included, even regular visits by a wound nurse and wound center, as well as a physical and occupational therapist. In the beginning, we feared that his foot would be amputated, but instead he was declared completely healed of his wound by the doctors after about a year. Our friend stayed there for 3 years, and was really sad to leave. Our friend only recently passed, and we will always be grateful for the care and attention that Able Plus staff gave to our friend.

My dad recently passed after being taken care of at Able Plus. They took great care of him. Not only care but they showed much love to him. I am greatful to all the staff for loving him especially Shabeca. When I took dad to doctors appointments the doctors would always be amazed at how took care of and the wounds they help heal. Ms. Ada was always on top of my dad’s care and called the doctors whenever they were not addressing my dad’s needs. The last doctor was really impressed with Ms Ada and her staff that he said he would Lito refer his patients there. If you are looking for somewhere to send your loved one for care. I highly recommend Able Plus Assisted Living.

I needed to transfer my mom from a memory facility that, quite frankly, was abusive. My mom has Lewy Body Dementia and needed one on one care. I carefully screened many different homes, memory care facilities and assisted living. From the moment I met the owner and staff, I knew Able Assisted Living was the right place for my mom. They are amazing, patient, knowledgeable, loving and very kind. Everyone is treated like a beloved family member.

My mom is quite challenging. The staff worked very hard to earn her trust. Since coming to Able, mom's transformation from hostile and angry, to kind and caring is due in no small part, to the staff at Able.

I would highly recommend Able Assisted Living to anyone looking for a home environment for their loved one.

Meals are home made, each patient has their own food, staff are attentive and patients are cared for 24/7. It is a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood, clean and well maintained. Patients can have either a shared or private room.

What matters to me most? My challenging, difficult mom is happy.

Two years ago, after coming to the heart-breaking realization that I could no longer keep my dad safe at home (his dementia required 24-hour supervision), I went searching for an assisted living facility where I could imagine him being happy. So many of the places I toured were downright depressing. So when I walked into Able Plus and saw the sunlight pouring in through the windows and the carefully furnished rooms, I felt like I could relax. Speaking with Ada, the owner/manager, I could sense that this was a woman who really cared about her residents and wasn't just in it for the monthly check.

Dad passed away almost two years later, having been shown love and kindness from everyone who worked there. He joked with them, and they joked back. They made sure he had home-cooked meals every day and clean, homey surroundings. Since he wasn't capable of leaving the facility, Ada found a traveling barber to cut his hair and a podiatrist who made house calls to give diabetic foot exams. She organized birthday and holiday celebrations and invited my brother and me to come join the residents for full Thanksgiving dinners.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, they went above and beyond to keep the residents safe. And while I wasn't allowed to visit him during the pandemic (until close to the end of his life), they made sure I was able to visit via video chat. When he finally passed away, I felt comforted knowing he was not alone, as he considered them his family.

I highly recommend Able Plus Assisted Living to anyone looking for not just a facility but a home for their loved one.

Able Plus Assisted Living is an excellent home for people who can no longer care for their self. My father has been at Able Plus for a little over 3 years. During his time there he suffered and endured many situations due to his many health conditions. In earlier times he would playfully banter with the caregivers and they were always willing to engage and be playful back. The care everyone provides is catered to my fathers individual needs. Ada the owner, has gone above and beyond for my dad in assuring he is comfortable and cared for very well at all times. My dad’s birthday’s always stand out because of the support and festivities Able Plus provides. Holidays also provide a festive time for the clients as well. As time went on my dad continued to decline. My father has dementia, diabetes, leukemia, kidney disease and is also an amputee, only having one leg. Ada always calls me personally when any new challenges with my dad’s care present themselves. Ada will say “your dad is not himself and she is concerned” and each time she was absolutely correct subsequently requiring a hospital visit and further care. Ada works with the families of clients and is always considerate of any requests. Ada and the staff will take the extra effort in getting to know everyone personally to enable them to provide the best care possible. The house is very homey and as clean as the photos depict. As time goes on my dad continues to decline and at this time requiring a pureed diet and extra care with his foot on his remaining leg. Ada and the staff continue to work diligently in meeting my dad’s needs with his continued progression in his decline. In all I am grateful and will be forever grateful for Able Plus Assisted Living Care.

Mrs. Ada and her team are the absolute best! I typically don't write public reviews but in this case, its a must. If you need someone to take care of your parent(s) properly Able Plus facility is the place. You will not be sorry. Your love one will eat good foods, they will be washed properly & carefully. Your love one will be cared for as if he/she is the parent of Mrs. Ada. The pictures shown here are actually what you'll see inside of her home. There is so much more I can say, but just know, she cares and her team cares.

Our Pops was 93 when the doctors said he required 24-hour care. He had lived a full independent life until the Spring of 2019. We went on a search for the best care facility we could find. And, many of the places we toured were not fit for our pets, let alone leaving our father there. We had almost given up hope, until we met Ada and subsequently toured her facility. This facility, no, this HOME is immaculate! It was a no-brainer for us, no more tours this was where our father would reside. The pictures you see are exactly what we saw when we toured the home.

Pops has a great personality, but was not happy at first. He had given up his 93 years of independence after all. Well here it is over a year later, and he’s calling the staff family. He loves everyone, and tells us often, “they bathe me everyday whether I need it or not”. Pops went from a frail 115 pounds to now his normal healthy weight, due to the healthy diet that he receives at Able Plus. He receives excellent physical and cognitive therapy. And, Ada brings in the best practitioners to take care of onsite barber services and pedicures.

Time has gone in reverse for Pops, he looks 20 years younger! At his last birthday celebration, the staff and residents wanted to know his secret. Able Plus, obviously, is the secret. Pops loves the staff; he has even asked us to take him to shop for gifts for the holidays. He loves them like family.

Able Plus Assisted Living is a model nursing home. The staff is extremely attentive. Additionally, they've maintained an immaculate health and safety record, throughout the pandemic. I would recommend this facility to anyone.
