Assisted Living Communities in Arlington, VA

"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."

"We’ve placed my mother-in-law in Sunrise of Falls Church. It seems like a very nice facility. They have a number of different activities. I know they have a senior exercise class. They play bingo; they have music programs. They take the residents out for dinner. The dining area seems good. My husband has been there to eat personally, and he thinks the food is good. I wish her room was a little bit larger, but I think it’s perfect. It’s an adequate room; it’s nice and bright. Having a little refrigerator and a little entry way is nice. I’ve interacted with the staff. They’ve all been very helpful and nice. "

"I visited Rembrandt as I’m looking at options to bring my father closer to me. What a beautiful and welcoming home! It doesn’t feel at all like a “facility”, it is furnished with lovely furniture and feels like you are walking into someone’s house. I met with Jenna, the co-owner, and she was warm and caring, clearly someone I would trust my father with. Jenna told me about the menus she creates and cooks for residents, in the lovely open kitchen on the main floor. The rooms are bright and sunny, and the entire house just feels so comfortable. The back porch and big yard really add to making it feel like a home and not a facility. And the fact that the owners are managing on site every day gives me a lot of confidence about the level of care. Overall, it’s wonderful to have such a great senior home right in our neighborhood.

"This is an assisted living facility associated with Sibley Hospital in Northwest DC. It is managed by Sunrise. It is a clean and well run facility and the physical proximity to Sibley is a great asset. They also have a strong program for those with dementia. A liability is that the apartments are relatively small and if you are looking for a more independent lifestyle the options are somewhat limited for example apartments only come with a kitchenette. Also there is little that is in the immediate neighborhood to walk to. Staff is attentive and well intentioned. "

"Chesterbrook Residences is a fairly new place, so everything is very nice. The apartment has living room, little kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom. They have different activities every day like chair exercises, bingos, and every night they have movies. They do take them to grocery store, doctor's appointments, go on a trip and see the autumn leaves. Everybody's very friendly. They learn new resident's name very quickly and they always call them by name. They have nursing staff 24 hours a day. Recently, she twisted her ankle and they have physical therapy on site. It's been very good. "

"The Residences at Thomas Circle is very neat, bright, and cheerful. It looks more like a hotel than an assisted living place. "

"The Landing Alexandria was excellent. It's a fabulous location if you're a younger or more able senior and if you travel because you're right near the airport, and that's one of the reasons why I looked at it. Plus, I have a friend who lives there, and I visited her several times, and it is fabulous. The building is complete, and it is a year and a half old. However, because it's a high rise, the only way that seniors can get out and about and do stuff is to go up on their eighth floor. That's where their garden club has plots, and that's where the chef grows his herbs, and they have a bar and a lounge up there so people can be outside and stuff. But that's it, so that's the only problem. Also, they don't have a pool. It's beautiful and it's a gorgeous spot, but there's a lot of construction. And for seniors who are moving across the country, I wouldn't want to stress them with that. It's brand new, so everything is shiny and bright. The layouts are nice. They offer five different layouts from studios to two-bedrooms plus a den. Some have balconies, and some without. I tried their food, and it was good. I had eaten with a friend of mine before."

"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."

"My overall tour experience of Sunrise of Alexandria's memory care was positive. The facility was conveniently located, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. My visit was right around when we had a snowstorm so it was kind of inconvenient for them but it did not stop them. They took me through the facility and answered my questions, and I was very pleased with it. I found the rooms to be comfortable, well-thought-out, and well-appointed. A lot of people don't realize the difficulty for aged people to kind of get around and do things and I found that these rooms were geared towards easy access with all their bathrooms and spaces. The staff was very outgoing and friendly. They're willing to answer any questions and I was happy with them. The young lady who was supposed to meet me that day got her car stuck, and so she was running a little late. Another staff member filled in until she was able to show up but I was there in the middle of the snowstorm, too, so I understood it. It would have been easier for them to reschedule because of the snowstorm but they didn't so I thought that was really good of them."

"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."

"My mother moved to Cogir of West End Alexandria's memory care. It's a very beautiful community. The attendance of the nurses is very helpful, and the support staff is very supportive. The director is very welcoming and very friendly. The buck stops with him. He takes action immediately if you need something. I haven't had a complaint, but in my experience of trying to get what my mother needed, I can see that he's very receptive and quick to implement what it was that she needed. The staff he gave me to deal with was also very receptive and very professional. I'm very pleased with them. My mother's room is good. I've seen the food and the menu, and they look very healthy. They have activity after activity. Every hour, they're changing and doing something with the people. They take field trips, art sessions, and music sessions. They do let the residents watch TV, but it's not a situation where they're sitting in front of the TV all day. When they watch TV, it's usually a movie in the evening. They don't have the time to watch TV during the day because they're moving them around to different activities."

"Sunrise of McLean Village is a beautiful, newer community that has a gorgeous courtyard garden. It's very clean. The staff seems very attentive to the residents. There is a wonderful dining area with a great menu. They have lots of activities. They have a happy hour in their little lounge area."

"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."
