Assisted Living Communities in Alexandria, VA

"I like Cogir of Old Town, Alexandria. They have the same types of amenities. I was looking for what would be a good fit for my brother. He is a veteran, and he would want to talk to other men and that kind of thing, and it was good. It was very nice. Their apartments have microwaves and mini fridges. They have a good amount of storage. They have call buttons. They have a theater area and sitting areas on each floor. People could gather on the floor with the TV there. There are snacks available all day. They have free meals and restaurant-style dining. There is a patio, too, and everybody has been very nice."

"We toured the Sunshine Assisted Living in Alexandria. They gave us a tour of the whole assisted living community. I liked the layout of it and the distance from where we lived. The staff there were very kind and polite. The coordinator was very nice and explained everything that my wife and I talked to her about. The dining area was nice and clean. The staff showed me where they dine, the playing area, and the salon where they do their hair, which was nice. You have to go underground and off the street to park. Other than that, I think it appears nice. It's also right on the corner, so you can't miss it."

"We toured here. I chose that because it has quite a few assisted living amenities and is all included in the overall price, which is very good. The staff was excellent. They answered all the questions and even a few more that we asked. They took us to all sorts of studios and one-room apartments. They answered any questions we had about adjusting any elements of the room, like moving a refrigerator around to another location. They were very personable and very helpful. All in all, it was a very good tour, and they included Sunday brunch and it was very nice."

"I had a lovely tour of Benchmark at Alexandria. They were ready for me. They were very professional. The place was spotless, but it wasn't a good fit for my husband. It wasn't his style. It reminded me of a hotel when you go to travel on business, and my husband hates business travel. But the people were very nice. They gave me some muffins, and they were delicious. The people who were there in the dining room seemed to be enjoying it."

"The Landing Alexandria is like a first class hotel, fine food , wonderful staff, lovely atmosphere and interesting people to meet perfect location at Potomac Yard area of Alexandria"

"I'm very happy with the care that my father is getting at Sunrise at Bluemont Park. They're very welcoming when we approached them. The building he's in is fairly small, and it has 50 people in it, so they have a lot of individualized care. He says the food is pretty good, and his appetite has come back really well. They have a nurse on-staff and a 24-hour nurse if there are any issues on the premises. They're very attentive, and they all come in several times a day to check on him. They give him his medications twice a day, they'll do laundry, and they'll bring meals to him if he's not feeling up to going to the dining room. He had a little medical condition, and the nurse has been very attentive and will text or call me. We have an open dialogue with the chief nurse on-staff. I'm really happy with it. They have three buildings and each have a different address with 50 residents each. They also have a memory care unit if he should need that on the premises. It's fairly expensive and it's a little bit older, but they have good maintenance on-staff. They have a walking club, happy hour, movie nights, trivia, games, Bingo, guest speaker, and discussion group."

"In general, I highly rate this facility. The staff appear to be taking good care of my father and speak highly of him. He looks health and happy. My biggest problem so far is the lack of accountability for his posessions. Right now I'm dealing with his missing $2000 wheelchair and before that his hearing aids disappeared. Depending on how my inquiry into the missing wheelchair proceeds tomorrow, I may revise my opinion downward. There is also an inability of the staff to use email effectively and they can't seem to get the ocassional form to me when needed. The is the community at which he and his late wife wanted to finish their lives, so I am trying to keep an open mind with regard to their efficiency. "

"Rembrandt had just opened it’s doors for business when we visited so no residents or caregivers were at the house so I cannot comment on that aspect, nor the activities. The owners, Jenna and Rene, showed me and my husband around the home and talked with us at length, answering our many questions. They were very caring and professional, and our philosophies on aspects of care, such as physical activity and nutrition, among others, were in alignment. The home was spacious and lovely with all the necessary equipment and the back yard looked like a great space to hang out and enjoy nature. I would recommend visiting and getting to know Jenna and Rene. I wish they had a house closer to me, as Falls Church is a bit far from where I live although still doable. My mom is still currently living in another state and we are making plans to transition her to be with us. "

"I toured Vitality Living Arlington. Everything seems nice and clean, and the rooms were bigger than I expected. It was a beautiful place. I loved how colorful it was. Everyone was so friendly and took their time with me."

"I found the Paragon Assisted Living Potomac House Communities for my father. It's a group home. He moved in and he loves it -- the best place he's ever lived. This was perfect for him. The staff is great, my father feels very special there, it's very small, only eight residents, so it's very individualized. It's like they really care. He has the same, consistent people all the time. They have a chef who comes in every day and prepares the food. It's a brand-new facility, it's not even a year old. It's well-maintained. They clean the room every day. They have nice, big, open hallways. They have minimal activities, and they could probably do better for people who have the ability to do stuff. They're a great alternative to a bigger facility."

"The Jefferson was very neat, clean, and airy. The location was where I was interested in living. It was a workable area. There were restaurants and grocery stores. There was a movie theater in the building. The apartment was just in the size that I wanted, and it had a terrace. It was just perfect. I liked it. It had a library and swimming quarters. It was just lovely. "

"I am at peace knowing that my aunt is getting the proper care she needs especially during this pandemic. Thanks to the family environment at Prince of Peace, my Aunt Daisy is at peace also. Trust me she has turned up at previous facilities with her dementia!! My family was also given access to Zoom in order to communicate with her during this pandemic. God bless you all!!!"

"I really liked Sunrise of Falls Church because it was very clean and well lit and had a nice layout in the dining hall. The folks were very friendly and professional. I was impressed that they had a community dog, which, I think, was a nice feature. The rooms were OK. "

"Sunrise of Arlington was nice, clean, and in a good location. The staff seemed friendly and knowledgeable. "
