    Smoke-filled halls dirty unsafe conditions

    I moved my mother here and we're already planning to move her when a better option opens. Halls and stairwells are constantly smoky - cigarettes left on the ground, smoke seeping into apartments and causing coughing, burning eyes and breathing trouble. Cleaning is superficial; floors and carpets have spots that haven't been cleaned for months and trash/odors recur. Maintenance is unresponsive and staff (including Ana) are polite but ineffective; safety feels poor with strangers and loiterers at night, unsafe parking and people smoking/drinking near the building. The building is often too hot (80°F+), complaints go unanswered, and overall care and cleanliness are unacceptable.

    About The Oaks at Olde Towne

    The Oaks at Olde Towne Senior Apartments sits at 9 Chestnut Street in Gaithersburg, right in the historic Olde Towne neighborhood, and you'll notice the area's charm around the property because it's an older part of town that's filling up with new shops and people these days. This community offers independent living options for adults aged 62 and over, with a focus on making things comfortable and accessible for seniors who can get around on their own but might want a few extra features that make life easier. There are 72 apartments here, mostly one-bedroom and a few two-bedroom/one-bath units, each with roomy closets and kitchens that have newer appliances, and you don't have to worry about the space feeling cramped because they're laid out in a way that gives you room to move around, and the air conditioning keeps everything comfortable. Wheelchair accessible showers and ground floor units help residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, and a pet policy lets cats and dogs come along, as long as they don't go over the weight limit.

    Residents get to use both indoor and outdoor common spaces for group activities or just to sit and relax, and there's always something going on, whether it's a social activity, a holiday party, or just a chat in one of the recreational areas or the fitness center. The staff can help with things like on-site maintenance, beauty and barber services, and transportation for shopping or medical trips, and there's parking for those who drive, though there may be a fee. Kitchens in each apartment allow for independent meals, but there's still community support if someone needs it, and healthcare services like medication management are available. The Oaks at Olde Towne also offers personalized care plans, and is designed to help seniors stay as independent as possible while still covering those extra needs that sometimes come with age, and they have a memory care program and assisted living services for those who require added support, though detailed care features and levels aren't listed anywhere in their information. The community maintains a calm atmosphere, with pets around, planned events, and friendly, trained staff who focus on making sure the place feels safe and welcoming. The property opened back in 2002 and has kept up with updates and repairs, and with the nearby shops and activities in Olde Towne Gaithersburg, there's always something to do for people who like to get out every now and then. The Oaks at Olde Towne doesn't offer everything under the sun, but it's a steady and reasonable choice for seniors looking for apartment living with a bit of extra help if they want it.
