What Our Residents Are Saying
Life saver for my family
★★★★★
“
Angel's Touch was literally a life saver for my family. After my mother had a series of strokes and my father could no longer give her the care she needed, we turned to Angel's Touch. The Angel's Touch team not only kept my mom physically healthy and safe, but the team also organized field trips, parties, and other activities that allowed my mom to smile even while her body failed her. In the final month's of my mom's life, she and my father (who was still living independently) were able to join a field trip Angel's Touch organized to the beach. She couldn't stop talking about the joy that trip brought her. My sister and I will forever be grateful for the personal and loving support Angel's Touch gave my mom -- and our entire family.”

Safe, comfortable and happy
★★★★★
“
Extremely grateful for the extra effort and caring that the staff provided during the COVID health emergency. The caution to protect their residents was exactly what was needed. Even though I could not visit as frequently as I'd have liked due to safety reasons, my Mom was never lonely. Her caregivers went over and above to keep her safe, comfortable and happy.”

A better place for my dad
★★★★★
“
I could not have asked for a better place for my dad. His room was close to the hub of activity, and there were always caregivers passing by and checking in. They were always attentive and kind. There was always a core group of caregivers that did not change, so over the 5 years my dad lived there, he always had familiar faces. As time went on, my dad's dementia worsened, and they were very patient and knew how to respond and defuse. I never worried for a minute about whether my dad was cared for, and never felt that I had to "check up" on them. The staff got to know me and my family, and it eased my mind to know my dad was in a place where they truly cared about him.”

Caring and supportive staff
★★★★★
“
My husband Ray moved to Angel’s Touch in September of 2024. Ray’s mother Tillie lived at Angel’s Touch from 2006-2010 and received exceptionally good care. She passed away in 2010 surrounded by family, our minister, and staff. Therefore, it was not a difficult decision when Ray needed a place. I chose to take him to Angel’s Touch Assisted Living where I knew he would be well cared for. I was comforted to see that some of the staff was still working here from early 2000’s. The ownership was relatively the same. My husband has Lewy Body Dementia and sometimes has difficult days. He needs care in toileting, walking and eating. The staff are caring and supportive, and his needs are always met. In addition, Ray has been happy there. He gets lots of attention and enjoys conversing with staff members. Other family members also visit regularly, and Ray enjoys interacting with them. I highly recommend Angel’s Touch Assisted Living for people looking for a supportive and caring environment for their loved ones.”

It's all about caregivers
★★★★★
“
My Mom is suffering from dementia and memory loss and needed more care than was available in our first try at finding quality elder care. We experienced her out in the hall by herself, no one around or showing concern and was not being taken care of. We heard from a friend and close school mate about Angel’s Touch Assisted living was unique and offered a better way. The moving in was smooth and our family could see the change in Mom within a few days. I cannot say enough about the caretakers at Angel’s Touch, especially the family members Divya, Priya, Rahul, and Mark, plus the core caregivers: Bonnie, Omar, Derrick, and Omoniyi. Angel’s Touch was a breath of fresh air for the family to have the comfort and knowledge that we found a place that felt homey and not institutionalized. A place where Mom can participate in so many activities and not feel alone. I relief I feel as Angel’s Touch shares frequent pictures and videos of Mom daily activities of exercising and interacting with the residents and the furry house mates (dogs) confirms that our family found the right home for mom.”

Help for my significant other
★★★★★
“
My “significant other” has lived at Angel’s Touch over the past year. Before we were able to find Angel’s Touch, he had been living at various hospitals/acute care facilities for over 4 months. All of them were subpar. They were expensive, sparsely staffed and mostly inattentive to his needs. As my “significant other” was going through serious health issues all at the same time (cancer, heart attack and paralysis), we were unsure if there was anywhere we could take him that could meet his ever expanding health needs. At times he was having a difficult time breathing while experiencing intense pain in areas he still had feeling. My next door neighbor who had used Angel’s Touch for a family member highly recommended it and even checked in with them to see if they were able to meet the level of care required for his ever expanding needs. To my surprise they felt they could accommodate his needs. My neighbor was so happy that he was in tears when he told me. He conveyed that Angel’s Touch made all the difference in the world to his father-in-law near the end of his life. After almost a year at Angel’s Touch I now know why my neighbor was in tears. The Leaders of this facility were amazingly competent, compassionate and caring. I can’t say enough about the Leadership Team of Divya, Mark and Priya. Their philosophy is “it is all about the patient.” My significant other went from confused and depressed to alert and level within 3 months and is continuing to improve. The meals are always hot and made from scratch every day. The caregivers have been both patient and competent. The ratio of caregivers/Sr staff on call to patients is about 4 patients to 1 caregiver/Sr Staff. This is normally between 12 to 1 (when reviewing similar places). The best way I have to sum this up is what happened today at Angel’s Touch. I visited my significant other and he told a recently hired care giver, that this is a great place to be a patient as the senior staff and care givers really care about me and I consider them family.”

Help for my Dad
★★★★★
“
I am 71 years old and have never written a review before, however I feel compelled to make sure that others don’t go through similar experiences finding a place, when they can no longer take care of a loved one. Even though my father lived at our house for several years, he eventually deteriorated to a stage that my husband and I could no longer take care of him. We knew that he only had a few months to live and we wanted to make it as easy for him to live his remaining days in as much comfort as possible. We initially put him in an acute care facility that was extremely expensive and had a very low ratio of staff to patients. After a few weeks we realized that this wasn’t the right place for my father. Unfortunately we were initially having a problem finding a facility that was reasonably priced, patient focused and staffed with “trained” and compassionate personnel. After looking at 4 facilities with no luck, a friend of ours suggested a place within a few miles of our house, called Angel’s Touch that she had a good experience with. After visiting the location we felt it would be a good match. Even though my father, as expected passed a few months later, the care, compassion and competence of ALL of the Angel Touch staff was exceptional. This move, during the last few months of my father’s life enabled him to feel valued till the day he died. Thank you, thank you, Thank you!!!!!! I rate this Angel’s Touch Assisted Living a 10 out of 10. Jelinda Blum”

We did a lot of research on facilities in the area
★★★★★
“
Both of our parents became residents at Angel’s Touch in June of 2023. We did a lot of research on facilities in the area before deciding on Angel’s Touch. We chose Angel’s Touch for several reasons. We had recommendations from two close family friends who had loved ones cared for at Angel’s Touch and both families could not say enough good things about the facility. So, from the start, we knew from trusted friends that the experience was going to be positive. Angel’s Touch is a smaller facility than most and feels like home, not an institution. Angel’s Touch provides residents with attentive 24-hour care and so much more. The staff regularly take residents on outings near and far. It could be anything from a day trip to the Howard County Fair, to a park to see the changing leaves, or to the local ice cream shop for a treat. Residents can also enjoy overnight trips to Ocean City as well as fishing and golf outings. Angel’s Touch brings in a variety of entertainment to the people that call it home. Singers, impersonators, and lots of puppy visits are the norm. Holidays are also celebrated in style. The yearly Christmas party at the Clarksville Ballroom is amazing with food and dancing. The coordinators are very connected with every individual under their care and truly respect the wishes of the residents and families. We absolutely love how residents are encouraged to engage in all the activities that they enjoyed throughout their lives. Another fun perk for residents is that one of the owners lives directly next door to Angel’s Touch and has a lovely swimming pool. We have enjoyed poolside parties and birthday celebrations in the summer. In fact, the three facility administrators live right on site at Angel’s Touch, which is an unbelievable plus when it comes to quality 24-hour care. Also in residence is pup, Biscuit, who checks on residents daily and always puts a smile on everyone’s face. Angel’s Touch maintains a beautiful on-site garden that provides fresh produce for many of the resident’s meals. Residents are encouraged to help clean and cut vegetables for meals. The food at Angel’s Touch is prepared fresh at each mealtime and residents are given lots of individual choices. More recently, our father, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, faced a dramatic decline in his health. The staff at Angel’s Touch responded to his needs during the entire crisis to ensure that he was safe and as comfortable as possible throughout this very trying time. We are very pleased with the attentive care, friendship, and love that our parents have received and would highly recommend Angel’s Touch to anyone in need of a care facility for a loved one.

It gives our family a sense of comfort
★★★★★
“
My Mom suffers from dementia, memory loss, as well as many other health issues. We were looking for better care than what was being provided at her first Assisted living community. She broke her hip back in October of 2023 and required more individual attention at the time. As she became less mobile and unable to advocate for herself her quality of life began to suffer. We experienced her out in the hall by herself, dirty clothes and no one around or showing concern for her well-being. She was going down fast, not only physically but emotionally as well. We heard from a friend and close school mate about Angel’s Touch Assisted living. She told us how unique of a facility it was, and that they offered a better way to care for the elderly. We reached out and quickly determined that this would be a significant change, relating to her care. The move in process was smooth and seamless. Within a few days we saw a dramatic improvement in my mom’s physical and emotional health. She was more alert, engaging and happier than we had seen her in months. I cannot say enough about the caretakers at Angel’s Touch, especially the family members Divya, Priya, Rahul, and Mark, plus the core caregivers: Bonnie, Omar, Derrick, and Omoniyi. Angel’s Touch has been a breath of fresh air for our family. We are comforted in the knowledge that we have found a place that feels like a home and not a facility where you are just a number. When we visit it is obvious that the people there know and understand the needs of all the patients. It is a place where my mom can feel like she is part of a home and not just living in a facility. She has already engaged in more activities in the last 2 months than in all her time in the other place. This is truly a place where my mom does not feel alone. It gives our family a sense of comfort when Angel’s Touch shares frequent pictures and videos of Mom’s activities. Whether it is exercising and interacting with the residents or petting a furry house mate (dogs). We know that she feels a sense of home and that we made the right decision to call Angel’s touch home for our mother. Sincerely, The Brown Family”

We couldn't be happier with the care our Mom receives at Angel's Touch. The staff is so kind and they go out of their way to make sure those in their care enjoy their lives. They enjoy cookouts, music, fall foliage outings, pool parties, golf and even fishing. They truly are remarkable. This is not an institution, rather a home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Home Away From Home
★★★★★
“
My mom lived at Angel's Touch for 8 months. The caregivers and all the staff are very caring and treated my mom like she was part of their family. They would spend time sitting and talking with her and hold her hand and give her hugs to help ease her anxiety issues. This gave our family peace of mind knowing she was so loved and cared for. They have lots of activities for the residents and the food is homemade and taste great. If you are looking for a special place for your loved one, Angel's Touch is the perfect place.”

Mom particularly enjoys the homey atmosphere and frequent outings at Angel’s Touch
★★★★★
“
A good reference from a close neighbor who’d been through the same situation, meant everything. When you are facing a difficult decision about finding a caring and compassionate place for your mom, no one knows more about it than someone who has been through it. I learned of Angel’s Touch assisted living from a neighborhood couple who spoke very highly of the consistent quality of care and quality of life that their own mother had received while living at Angel’s Touch. My mom moved to my home some five years ago after my father had passed way. I thought she would be able to stay for the rest of her life, but things began to change. My mom became much more forgetful and confused and was having falling episodes. Her care needs became much more intense and it quickly became apparent that she would need care and supervision 24 hours a day. She needed companionship during the day so we hired an aid to stay with her and take her places. Even though we saw her and interacted with her each day, it was often still not the best environment for her. She needed more social activities and care than I could provide at home and her confusion was causing her to be unhappy at home and continually wonder why seemingly no family member was there for her during the day. My mom moved to Angel’s Touch in August of 2012. I knew the transition would be difficult, because of my mom’s memory problems, the fact that she does not take to change easily and that she is very private. Mom’s move in was smooth and well orchestrated and I could tell that the owner and all the caregivers put extra effort into making my mom feel welcome and loved. The caregivers were prompt and polite and called me with daily updates on my mom’s progress and activities. Due to Angel’s Touch’s small size and consistent care giving, I receive first hand answers quickly and directly from caregivers and the owner. This has made the transition much easier for me. Mom has always been a very private person who prefers to have her own place. She is accommodated at Angel’s Touch with her own place but is also able to enjoy the company of other residents in conversation areas and the dining room. The caregivers are sure to stop in her room when she is there to see how she is doing or at times to gently encourage her to join in an activity. She is more willing to socialize of late. Mom particularly enjoys the homey atmosphere and frequent outings at Angel’s Touch. She doesn’t feel “confined”, being able to participate in so many activities and outings. The owner and staff at Angel’s Touch go a long way to provide an atmosphere that feels nothing like an “institution”, but more like a community/family home. This is extremely important to me since as Mom ages is more and more restricted in what she can do on her own. I often receive phone calls, text messages and e-mails about what is happening at Angel’s Touch. This makes our visits with mom ones where we can discuss the events in her life and even join in when we can. Angel’s Touch is easy to get to and I always leave knowing that mom is in good hands.”

The staff was friendly and caring
★★★★★
“
When my Dad passed away several years ago, my mom was left to live alone in her home. Although she missed his company, she said that she was comfortable living alone and wanted to maintain her independence. Understandably she was not interested in discussing a change in her living arrangements. Change is an adventure and, at 84, one is not always ready for an adventure. Nevertheless, despite my concerns about her living alone, I tried hard to make things work for her. Her home in Howard County was about a half hour away and I could visit 2-3 times a week and make things work I quickly realized, however, that she was not eating properly and often did not remember to take her medications or, even worse, took them incorrectly even though I filled her weekly pill container myself. Since she refused to discuss alternative living arrangements, I began looking on my own. I knew she would be happiest in a small home with a family atmosphere, but I kept an open mind. Although I checked out several assisted living places in the area, I still felt uncomfortable about making her move out of her home. But as her dementia got worse and she began to fall, I became increasingly concerned. We considered every alternative…living with us, hiring someone to live with her in her home and assisted living homes. Once I found Angel’s Touch, I somehow felt immediately comfortable. The staff was friendly and caring. The owner, Mark Wah, was truly in touch with the feelings of the seniors, having to give up their independence and move in with “a bunch of strangers”, but also sympathized with the family’s concerns about the health and safety of their loved one. Mark went out of his way to take things slow and make her transition as comfortable as possible, allowing us to join him and some of the residents for dinner at a local restaurant. My mom enjoyed the get together with other people her age, who seemed fun and active. After her falls, he even visited her both at the hospital and during her rehab at Encore. And so, after 3 years of living alone, my mom became a resident at Angel’s Touch. I will not say that it was easy in the beginning. She was insistent that she did not need “supervision” and that she wanted to live on her own, but after a short time, she began to find that she enjoyed the company of the other residents, whom she remembered having met at the restaurant, and she appreciated the help and caring of the staff. One of the things that impressed us most was that many of the staff have been with Angel’s Touch for a number of years. It is a tough job that they do, so it is clear that they must love what they are doing and it shows. They helped my mom get through that beginning transition with compassion and understanding and they were always there with kind reassurance for me that everything would be fine. And it was. The staff understands how important her independence is to her and allows her to do as much as she can for herself while always monitoring things like her balance. She can still enjoy the solitude of her own room, living “independently” with the TV as loud as necessary when she chooses not to wear her hearing aids. She has much of her own furniture which makes it feel like “home”. But she now also has friends to enjoy daily home cooked meals with and goes on regular outings with them to museums, restaurants and shows, along with the wonderful activities offered right there. We almost joke that she now has more of a social life than we have. She has truly become part of the Angel’s Touch “family”. And the best part now is that when she comes over to our house for a visit, she will tell me that she is ready to go “home”.”
