What People Are Saying
“My dad has been an Aarondale resident for more than three years. The nursing staff
is top-notch. They truly care about my dad and look out for him 24/7. Aarondale’s
modest size allows for a more personal approach with its residents.”
L.V., Aarondale Family Member
“2 1/2 years ago, my sisters and I felt it was time for my mother to move to an
assisted-living facility We visited 15 different properties in the Virginia, Maryland, DC
area. We felt that Aarondale would be a great fit. It’s not too big. It’s not too small. It
has a cozy homie feel. The staff are warm and thoughtful. The food is terrific. There
are so many activities that there were days which my mother has told me not to
come by…. She was too busy. How wonderful! It is so nice that she can spend her
twilight years in such a caring and fun environment.”
