My wife and I moved to the Colonnades ten months ago, after considering five other Charlottesville-area retirement facilities. The residents and staff quickly made us feel part of the community. The staff is very helpful and available, even with some tech support with the internet and cell phones. We especially appreciate the wide range of activities--there seems to be an activity for every interest--and the varied exercise and fitness opportunities. There is a UVA-staffed health center and a good physical/occupational therapy program. The food is generally good, and it's improving. Independent living residential options include cottages with garages and patios and apartments with patios or balconies. Pets are welcome.

I visited the memory care of The Colonnades three years ago. It stood out to me because of how much the CNAs cared for the residents. It was amazing. It was like a family. It was wonderful. My sister-in-law and I were like "Can we come stay here?" They had beautiful rooms. It was relatively new at the time. The staff were very detailed. They would explain anything to you and they took us around to each level. They showed us a sample bedroom. It was just amazing. They told us about how they could fix some food whenever in the dining room. I just remembered the room itself being beautiful.

My experience with The Colonnades has been fair. Sometimes the food is just not very good (we pay for our food extra). I think the condition of the place is fine. I think this was built in the 40s or something, so it's not new. Sometimes the elevator goes dead, so they must update all these things here in this place. They have exercise classes, writing classes, games, and a variety of different things if you're interested in that. They just need to do more interacting with people here rather than just serving our meals.

The community at the Colonnades was really inviting. It was a large and spacious building. They had everything you could possibly want there. They had an onsite beauty shop and a swimming pool. They had all kinds of outdoor places to walk with trails and things like that. They even had an onsite doctor's clinic there. It was very nice and very clean. There was nothing wrong with the place. It was beautiful, but it was so big and too overwhelming for me. I just didn't feel at home there. The person who gave me the tour was very nice and very patient. She showed me everything, and she really took her time. She was delightful.

I love The Colonnades, but it's far too expensive for us. My visits there ended with the pandemic, so I don't know what they have now as far as activities, but before the pandemic, I belonged to a play reading group there. I had done volunteer reading to a group of residents. I belonged to a book club that met there. They had exercise facilities being developed there. They had a very nice library. I spent a lot of time there. The book club had annual luncheons in the independent living area. Aside from that, occasionally, I would be invited to join a resident there and have lunch and the food was excellent. During my period of visiting holidays as a volunteer, I had a chance to work with some people in assisted living. It seemed to me that the help was very much on top of the needs and the nature of the residents there. One apartment on the top floor was magnificent, beautifully furnished, and suitably furnished. I visited some of the smaller apartments and they seemed to be adequate.

I went to The Colonnades. The lady who took me around was super nice and helpful too, nothing but positives for her. The rooms were a little tighter, and my mom came from a big house. It looked more facility-like, it wasn't bad, it was clean, there's nothing wrong with it, but it gave more of a facility feel than the other place. I can put my mother there and make it work. They have a courtyard area.
