Seabury at Springvale Terrace has been operating on Springvale Road in Silver Spring, Maryland, since 1924. That is over a century of history behind this independent and assisted living community. The two-story building at 8505 Springvale Rd is a rare find because it has a Walk Score of 92. This means you can handle most of your daily errands on foot without needing a car.
The community serves residents in private rooms, and they are pet-friendly. They have transportation services available, along with fitness and recreation areas. Inside, there is a library, TV lounge, hair salon, and wellness center. Their dining program also works to accommodate a range of dietary needs.
