About the community
Surrounded by manicured lawns, the tree-shaded yards of Shangri-La Senior Living lie on the quiet suburban outskirts of Baltimore in Ellicott City. Shangri-La has spacious, maintenance-free homes and provides an array of amenities to help residents enjoy their highest level of independence. The community’s dining room, daily shared meals, party room, and outdoor garden and patio are just a few of the things that define Shangri-La’s warm and welcoming community. Services and Amenities The family oriented, supportive community at Shangri-La provides high quality services and amenities. Residents can enjoy socializing with friends and peers during meals in the spacious dining room, and can catch up on all the day's events in the TV room. The beauty salon and barber shop help keep everyone looking sharp, so they can look their best for events and celebrations in the party room! Those who prefer to rejuvenate privately can find a book in the library or stroll about the garden and patio area. For individuals who like to get out and about, there are a number of shopping and dining options, as well as exciting attractions, within minutes of Shangri-La. Historic downtown, which is on the National Register of Historic places, lies in the Patapsco River valley and is home to the oldest remaining train station in the United States. There is a parking area at the community for residents who own cars, so finding a parking space after enjoying an evening out with friends or family is never a challenge. There are also a number of health care providers and hospitals nearby, including Howard County General Hospital and Northwest Hospital Center. At Shangri-La, the care specialists and staff are committed to helping residents preserve the highest quality of life and are guided by five core values: compassion, respect, pride of service, trust, and flexibility. The goal at Shangri La is to provide all the comforts of home while promoting choice and independence. Living Arrangements At Shangri-La, residents can choose from private or companion studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Each unit is equipped with a kitchenette, and housekeeping allows residents to forget the chores and focus on the finer things in life. The convenient amenities and comfortable environment make Shangri-La more than a place to live, it's a place to call home.

★★★★★
PositiveThe staff is very nice and caring. Occasionally short handed, particularly on weekends. Residents enjoy the food. They have 3 different room sizes, but there may be a wait for a specific configuration. Overall a good value for the care given, without a lot of bells & whistles that may not be of benefit to older clients.
★★★★★
PositiveComing from a facility that we did not care for, by comparison the staff are so much more friendly and have made the transition process so smooth with great communication, care and compassionate personality. The room is a wonderful space that my mom loves so much, very clean and engaging with activities
★★★★★
CriticalStaff does seem to care for the residents well-being, especially those with dementia. They appear to be short handed at times. Communication between staff & families could be improved regarding doctors appts, hospital visits. Basic activities are available most days but are perhaps underwhelming for someone who's still mentally sharp. Availability of on-site hairstylists and manicures is a plus.
★★★★★
PositiveThe staff was caring and helpful. Facility was clean. I would highly recommend Shangri-La to others looking.
★★★★★
PositiveMoved my brother here following a stroke. His private room is a decent size with room for a recliner , desk, small dresser and side table. The aides make his bed daily and empty the trash. They help him get to the dining room for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He also had a small refrigerator in the bsthroom for cold drinks. There are two common lounge areas for residents to spend time out of their room if they wish. One of the rooms has daily activities led by a very sweet activities director. The food is a set menu…
★★★★★
PositiveOur brother feels at home and safe at Shangri-la. His room is very nice and we made it cozy for him.. It is also the most affordable assisted living we could find in our area. The staff are caring, though overworked and sometimes understandably impatient with residents. It is easy for visitors to come see our brother, which helps his transition away from independent living.
