Tribute at Black Hill

What an amazing community. We just moved my mother in law into Tribute at Black Hill and it was amazing. They welcomed us with a red carpet and Lindsay the sales director was awesome. My mother in law has been there for over a month now and we all agree we should have made the move sooner!

I first contacted the facility to inquire about arrangements for my loved one much earlier this year—in the Spring. I was able to schedule a tour directly from the website and met with an employee early one weekend morning. By that point, I had already explored and toured a few places: CCRC, independent living, as well as other assisted living facilities. When I walked into Tribute, before meeting with staff, I was taken aback by the decor, layout, and smell. Tribute’s aesthetic is unmatched. When I finally sat down with Ms. Buck, I felt listened to and taken seriously. She took copious notes and asked questions during our conversation. Then, the tour began. I’m not close to retirement age but Tribute is a place I would enjoy or seek out when it’s my time. Fast forward weeks and months, I was able to bring my parent to see the place for themself. Key to choosing a facility is knowing your relative, budgeting wisely, anticipating future needs, and keeping lines of communication open with those who you entrust your family member’s care. Remember, staff are doing a job that you’re unable to do for whatever reason. To that end, I’ve had very positive interactions to date with all staff I’ve encountered…at all levels from building service/maintenance to dining to nursing/patient care to recreation to occupational- and physical therapy to executive leadership. After months of planning, including a delay for health reasons, my family member finally moved in at the end of the summer. There have been a few snafus along the way, no place is perfect, but I am at peace knowing my loved one is taken care of. Staff are incredibly accommodating, responsive, and because of my engagement/involvement, I trust my elder is in good hands. Thank you, Tribute at Black Hill.

Great community with a great staff. The food is amazing and the building reminds you of a resort. The resident and staff interaction is amazing to see. The changes over the last several months have been awesome to witness!

Eddie who is in charge of maintenance and transportation helped my mother (non-ambulatory) and her aide who were left stranded at Seneca Meadows Mall by Metro Access (apparently due to a computer glitch on their part). Eddie was contacted to see if he could arrange to pick them up, which he very graciously did. We are all so grateful for Eddie’s kindness and helpfulness! He deserves a lot of credit!

Tribute at Black Hill is an exceptional assisted living facility. I looked at several facilities in Philadelphia for my mother while my brother researched numerous possibilities in the MD/DC area. We agreed that Tribute at Black Hill was by far the best choice. Everyone there immediately went to work ensuring that my mother (who was resistant to the notion of living in an assisted living facility) made friends as quickly as possible. Tribute at Black Hill treats you like family. In fact, when my mother recently passed away, many of the staff were openly distraught since they too - like many of the residents - had become very close with my mother. The facility itself also is beautiful, with great outdoor spaces and meticulously maintained, and the food is excellent. Lastly, the cost was far more competitive than every other facility we looked at and without sacrificing anything at all on quality. You can tell when someone is simply “going through the motions” and when they truly love what they do. At Tribute at Black Hill it’s clear everyone is completely dedicated to caring for their residents in every way possible. It’s never easy to have a loved one go to assisted living but, thanks to Tribute at Black Hill, the experience for my mother and our entire family was fantastic. Thank you so much to everyone there, I will miss you!
