February 2023 Resident Calendar

February may be a short month, but there is no shortage of celebrations at The Annapolitan! We start by stepping out to the Annapolis Mall Library for a senior tea and social. We’ve got Valentine’s Day Vinyl Libations with Larry, so don’t vanish! Instead say hi to our resident DJ as he spins some tunes, and remember to stop at the chocolate fountain for a sweet treat.

For our February lunch outing, we’ll savor the selections at O’Loughlin’s Restaurant. Then Mardi Gras goes marching in mid-month for our Friends & Family event, where you’ll find an open bar, festive music, and finger food. Round out the month with a shopping trip, plus enjoy visits from friends feathered, furry, scaly (and maybe even slimy) as Echoes of Nature returns. Of course, February finishes with the monthly birthday bash!
January 2023 Resident Calendar

Behold! A bright new year is a upon us and we are bringing on some fun events. First, bag some bargains at Kohls. Then, we’re betting on a local favorite – Mother’s Peninsula Grill – for a bountiful lunch. Mid-month, we’ll bop back in time at the Museum of Historic Annapolis. Back at home, friends and family are welcome at our annual bull and oyster roast. By month’s end, we’ll be ready to break out the games and treats for the January birthday bash. We’ll be having a blast this month and we look forward to seeing you!
December 2022 Resident Calendar

The holidays are happening here at the Annapolitan! The time is never better for the Nutcracker Ballet; residents, families, and friends all are welcome for the mini-performance at Maryland Hall on 12/7. Next, we’re very lucky to have Vinyl Libations, a vivacious listening party with holiday tunes spun by resident DJ Larry. At mid-month we arrive merrily at the Annapolis Mall for some holiday shopping.

As Christmas nears, a luminous beckoning! We head out for Lights on the Bay. Friends and family are welcome to come enjoy lunch with us on Christmas Eve, when we’ll serve a delightful holiday meal with a side of good cheer. With the month and the year nearly ended, our New Year’s Eve-ish (and birthday) celebration on December 30 wraps up the season with a champagne toast for everyone!

All of us at The Annapolitan wish you a very safe, happy and healthy holiday season!
November 2022 Resident Calendar

November gets going with a shopping trip to Target: get the goodies for fall (and maybe a start on holiday shopping). Mid-month, we’ve got lunch out at Gordon Biersch, a birthday bash, and a movie matinee. Then, get ready for Thanksgiving at the Annapolitan. Friends and family are welcome to join us for fabulous feast!

November also includes one of our most special events, our annual Veterans Day program. During this moving program, we honor our resident veterans and those who supported them at home. Friends and family are welcome to attend.
October 2022 Resident Calendar

October means it’s time to get spooky! But first, there is other good stuff: we have a great start to the month as we go see a ballet, go shopping, and go savor great food and good times at Founder’s Tavern. Then join us for German style snacks and goodies at Oktoberfest. (And enjoy a glorious serenade from an oompah band!)

The ghouls and goblins step in at the end of the month for an Addams Family movie matinee and a hauntingly delightful Halloween party for the ages – all ages! Residents and grandkids and staff kids, too, are welcome for a Happy Halloween bash. See you there!
September 2022 Resident Calendar

We’re saying “see ya” to summer as the hustle and bustle of September settles in. First order of business: shopping at Dollar Tree – time to stash some bargains! Then we head to Park Tavern for a hearty lunch. Hankering for one more taste of summer? We hear you. Our Friends & Family Crab Feast is a happy salute to the season. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper summer send-off without some ice cream. So, we’ll storm the city dock to get to Storm Bros. for ice cream, sorbet and more. If you still haven’t had your fill of summer fare, our movie matinee this month serves up “Friend Green Tomatoes.” As always we’ll sign off September with sweets and treats at the monthly birthday bash. See you there!
August 2022 Resident Calendar

Hot story: it’s the height of this hot summer we’re having some fun! First we have something to see – lunch and a movie matinee to cool off for the day. Then we head out shopping. Hungry for snacks and hankering to socialize? Sombreros and snacks rule the day at the August Friends & Family event. In the second half of the month. we’ll hop over to The Point for a hearty lunch out, then hold on to happy summer vibes as we host an end of summer picnic at Jonas Green State Park. Hooray!
July 2022 Resident Calendar

We are pleased to present our plans for a picture perfect July! July premiers with ‘pic-n-paint’ pottery. Partway through the month we’re popping over to port to set sail on the Harbor Queen. Post-port, we proceed to a summer spectacular picnic in the park. Then, we proudly party with our favorite people at our annual Friends & Family Patriot Party, where we’ll play patriotic tunes and proffer snacks and potables. When you’re ready to perk up your palate yet again, partake of goodies from peppery tacos to tortillas and pico at Cafe Rio.

Could we possibly put more fun into the month? Positively! Please peruse our plentiful (and packed) calendar for more.
June 2022 Resident Calendar

Set your sights on summer fun this month! Start with a shopping trip, then settle in for some super snacks, seaside sounds, and social vibes at the Friends & Family Luau. Mid-month we step out onto the green for mini-golf. And, speaking of green, we’re stopping at Jonas Green State Park for an official summer kickoff picnic on the first day of the season! Meanwhile, there’s surf and turf as we celebrate Father’s Day, a summer birthday bash, and of course, a lunch out soaking in the scenery at Pusser’s Grill. See you there!
May 2022 Resident Calendar

There is much to do this May! “May” we suggest… baseball, bonding with friends and family, and brunch? We lead off with a fun afternoon at the ball park, then bring it back home for our Cinco de Mayo Friends & Family event. Our Mother’s Day lunch will make your day, with more live entertainment and delightful drinks. Mid-month, we dine at The Park Tavern for another lovely lunch. Before the month is out, bring your shopping list to our personal shopper, who will make a mad dash to Wal-Mart to buy up the basics (and more). Of course, we close with our May birthday bash! Make it a date – we’ll see you there!

   Very caring staff and friendly residents. Small family feel. Clean and well kept. Don't come here - it should continue to be a secret.

   We moved our mom here about three weeks ago from a place that was more expensive and not very caring.  Annapolitan Assisted Living is a hidden GEM!   This place is organized, caring, spectacular!   In less than a month our mom is smiling again, out of her room doing activities again, and she is even playing the piano again!  The nurses are wonderful and caring.  The director is amazing.  Most workers have been here for over 7 years, and you can tell they enjoy their jobs.  The dining hall is great, and we just love them all!   We are so glad that someone told us about this gem of a place, otherwise, they don't advertise and they don't spend extra money doing it because they aren't a corporation.  What a lovely place!  Thank you!

   Look no further, this assisted living home is amazing! My mother lived in an assisted living facility prior to moving to Annapolitan Assisted Living, and while we are thankful that her prior facility kept her safe and cared for, her former assisted living experience was no comparison to the wonderful experience she has had at the Annapolitan. My mom has lived here for almost three years and I am always impressed by how professional the staff is, and how kind they are to my mother. Additionally, the activities director always has terrific parties for the residents and the residents’ family and friends, and they take residents on outings to restaurants, parks, and even Bowie Baysox baseball games.  During the COVID pandemic, the facility manager was absolutely terrific in balancing the health needs of residents with their emotional need to see family and friends, and implemented common sense precautions to protect residents. The entire staff is top-notch, friendly and caring. If you are looking for a place for yourself or your loved one, the Annapolitan is a terrific choice!

   At this Thanksgiving time of year, our family has much to be thankful for, not the least of which was our decision four years ago to choose The Annapolitan as Dad’s new residence. Dad is now 105 years old and is extremely happy in his surroundings. There is not a doubt in our minds that Dad’s happiness is solely due to the care, compassion, and respect he receives from the dedicated staff and management.

I have written two or three previous reviews so that other families can make the right choice for the care of their loved ones. Those reviews have been equally balanced between the staff’s excellence and that of The Annapolitan’s management, but this time I want to commend, applaud, and extend our gratitude more specifically to Jim Thompson, the Director. By anyone’s measure, by any standard, I do not think there could be a better director of an assisted living facility. The quality and consistency of care over the four years of Dad’s residency has been unwavering and above reproach, and is indicative of Jim’s skills. He is kind, calm, and attentive to residents and family alike, yet maintains a professional demeanor that inspires confidence. His understanding, response, and communication during the current Covid-19 crisis is to be applauded, yet I think he does not get enough credit. Most people probably wouldn’t realize the number of masters that Jim has been serving this year: the Health Department, the Governor’s regulations, his residents, his staff, his families, and, of course, the Virus. Even after the most recent round of on-site testing, which resulted in a very unexpected 32 “Positives,” Jim had every person retested within eight hours. Every one of those 32 retests came back as “Negative.” Jim and The Annapolitan have had in impeccable record of performance and communication during a very unpredictable and uncertain time. Our family is very grateful.

In closing I want to send a message to my own family members…If I ever need assisted care, PLEASE check me into “Hotel Annapolitan.”

   Words cannot express my appreciation for Annapolitan Assisted Living during my dad's stay of almost 2 years. The staff is top notch as is the management. It is true what the reviews are saying. Annapolitan AL is a great place, good food, fun parties, outings and more. My dad was so very happy there. Also, we as a family were happy that he had a safe and loving environment that included us any time day or night. I was very concerned when he had to be moved to the memory care unit. I quickly learned that the advice I was given (that it was time) was spot on. Although he was not in memory care for very long due to a lung illness and a stroke he received excellent care from the staff. They worked tirelessly to make him comfortable and I will be forever grateful. Part of the sadness of losing my dad is that I will miss seeing on a regular basis all of the folks that helped our family to make his last years great years. Don't overlook this place in your search for excellent care and an extended group of family and friends!

   Respite Care for My Dad:  This place is awesome!  Everyone is really kind and helpful.  My dad was skeptical at first but found the place to be really nice.  It is spotlessly clean with none of the smells you find at other places.  Jim worked with me to get him registered and all the required paperwork prior to him checking in.  I love this place and will keep them in mind for upcoming respite care needs and any long term care needs that may arise!  What a hidden gem!  Oh, and the pictures you see are true to date - none of the styling that other places have and when you arrive it looks totally dated and dirty and old!

   The Annapolitan is now my home. I'm happy here. There are  a lot of activities.  The staff  encourages me to press the button on my pendant any time I need help. It is after all assisted living. They make sure that the residents get their medicine on time. More later when I have time.
