Saylor Lane. What can I say? I have been an active 82 year old, walking with a cane, and suddenly, unable to even stand . I have been here nearly 3 months, and have been actively involved in therapy, learning to walk again. The first month, I was frightened I would never walk again. Now, preparing to go home. I am thankfully walking again, with help of a walker. My first impression of the place was when the social services director delivered my mail to my room, more than once, with a smile. Zanda is an asset to Saylor. I was so afraid they would send me home without being able to walk. Her bedside manner, her kind attitude is so important. Especially to those needing an extra boost. I so appreciate her. *The CNA’s are such hard workers. Yasmine, Sandeep, Meliki, Bunu, Karen, JJ, Ike, Donna, BB , Maria, and Christina, all have great expertise and know how caring for patients. Kamala, John, “In” , and Russell add a big dose of humor and laughter, which is so, so appreciated! All the CNA’s work so well together, like a family. Martha is such a wonderful part of Saylor. She weighs the patients as perscribed, on a special chair, and is always helping where needed, in a number of ways! Mohammed is activities director, available to help patients in countless ways. He also keeps the activities room decorated and ready for patients and visitors who seek a change of scenery, from their rooms. The Registered Nurses on staff who work hard are Grace, who is in charge of the nursing unit and Daljig. The LVN’s - Noel, Sam, Janet,Nicki, Jeff, and Belinda, have the responsibility of handling meds, and administering them to each individual,as prescribed. They greet us with a smile, whether passing out meds at 8 a.m. or waking us up at 3 a.m. Erika and Susanna clean every room, every day, and more than once,when needed! No wonder there is always a pleasant smell. So important to a facility such as this! Dr. Dehir, and nurse practitioner, Alene, are here, regularly, and are actively involved in the care of each patient. Very impressive! The laundry department under Fatima, with Arun and staff working hard daily, to wash, dry, sort, and try to deliver items to the right patients. I appreciates the efforts.. But most vital are the physical therapists: Roberto, Sarah, Kendal, and Maureen. They are relentless in their pursuit of guiding the patients to slowly restore their level of movement they have difficulty with. My emotions went from frightened - to resentment- to appreciation! Truly! The challenge of not being able to stand, to learning to walk again, has been difficult, but so rewarding. They team strongly, but patiently, encouraged me to push myself as far as I could! With a number of exercises and movements. I so appreciate their determination to bring out the best I can muster! Your faith in me has carried me through. Thank you dear team! You are great! Preparing food for a large group is difficult! Milan and crew work hard to make a balanced meal tasty, to satisfy each patient, even offering an alternative menu. Roast beef, meat loaf, spaghetti, chili, and chicken salad on a croissant, are some of my favorites. I cannot tolerate a lengthy stay anywhere, but home. Yet,here I am, nearly 3 months at Saylor Lane, and sad I will be leaving. I will miss this place, and many folks I have grown fond of! If I did not name you, you may have been a tremendous help, but I may not have ever gotten your name! Please consider yourself praised as well!. And a special tribute to my dear, dear roommate, Ida. We immediately bonded, and her one month stay was a most meaningful time for me. She was almost 97, and sharp as a tack. Sadly she passed 2 days after going home. And I will forever remember my sweet friend, Lloyd. A long time patient with a charming personality and Jamaican touch, and a joyful soul. Kudos to management! Your facility is outstanding.

Saylor lane is the best place to be. This Place is clean and odor free. We have the best nurses and CNAs. Leadership in this building reflects on the patient care. Grace and Sherin are very supportive towards care and employees. Highly recommend to bring your family members.

My father was quite ill when he went to this facility but on the mend until he went to this place. In just three days, he'd gone from his normal olive completion to gray - He wasn't getting enough oxygen and the staff didn't care. I had to call my step-mom to advocate for him to be transferred to the hospital and it took nearly an hour for an ambulance to come to transfer him to Mercy General at J street. A five minute drive. The whole facility, upon walking in, smelled of urine and they wouldn't get a proper lift team of nurses to help him into the bathroom/get him onto a rolling stool.

I spent four weeks at the facility. The Nursing and CNA staff were outstanding. The PT and OT staff were also outstanding. The high morale and attentive care from the staff made my stay so much easier. I highly recommend this facility.

I cannot thank the staff at Saylor Lane enough. My mom only spent a short amount of time here after leaving the hospital for hospice care. She was previously at another care home that was FAR worse. The staff at Saylor Lane took great care of my mom. They were attentive and showed that they cared. They spent time with her and git to know her. I'm forever grateful for the care she received in the final stage of her life. I'd highly recommend Saylor Lane to anyone in a situation that would end in a skilled nursing facility.
