Assisted Living Communities in Bridgewater, VA

"My husband has lived at Acadia for almost a year. He has Alzheimer’s. .Previously, I placed him at two other facilities. Neither one could meet his increasing needs and the costs were becoming prohibitive. A social worker from the University of Virginia worked with me to locate an appropriate placement for him. Immediately, we focused in on Acadia. It’s the best decision I could’ve made. The staff are down to earth, friendly, and caring. On top of this, my husband’s dog is allowed to be with him. Acadia feels like a home, and not an institutional placement. Staff and residents are one big family. I am there often to see my husband, but also to spend time with residents and the staff, with whom I have become very close. Kudos to Brad, whose vision to help others with disabilities to live a dignified life, has come to fruition."

"I visited this assisted living unannounced. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and informative. The place is newly refurbished and is spotless. The staff introduced me to resident, who each said great things about their home. Robin the administrator has worked their for 20 years and has a very soothing soul. She clearly has a passion for resident care. We will be moving my mother in here soon. The most homely one we visited and it has all levels f care. "

"We went and saw Bridgewater Retirement Community. We were very impressed by them. We were visiting friends who live there. They're in a duplex house. They have their own quarters and garage and all that. They have access to all common areas, which is quite extensive recreations like exercise, barbershops, beauty shops, and all sorts of stuff in there. Plus, if and when they need it, they can move into assisted living. And then beyond that, if they need it, they can move into skilled nursing care. It's all there in one campus, and it is run by the same people with all the same general facilities available to everyone, but then specifically, depending on what level of care you're at. And we were very impressed by the whole thing. It seems well-run and clean. It's the a kind of facility that we were hoping to find for my sister-in-law. She is not fabulously wealthy, but she has plenty of money to go into a place like that. It's a great place. It's very modern, very well-kept, and beautifully decorated. We didn't eat there, but what this place does is they give you credits for some restaurants in the area that you can go to. So that was nice and well done. Our friend told us that they have a dining area there that is chef-prepared level of dining. In terms of activities, it's the widest variety you can think of. They have hobby craft activities. The staff working there were very friendly and helpful. Just really, nice people. It costs a lot to get there. I think it's very good value for the money. My wife and I couldn't afford it, but for those who can afford it, I think none of them are feeling cheated in any way. It's not just the facility; it's the people. They go out of their way to do whatever you need them to do for you. They're anxious to help. They're pleasant and friendly. It's hard to put a value on that because they seem very genuine people. "

"I had a family member living at White birch communities for several years. What I liked most it is owned and operated by one family. There is always a family member ready to help out or answer questions. The staff is wonderful they all treat you with the greatest respect and always cheerful. I would highly recommend this facility. You will truly enjoy."

"We chose English Meadows Harrisonburg Campus because it is all one level, and it is only three years old. It is definitely the newest of the places we toured. They have all-inclusive pricing, so all care levels are included. Christy, who I dealt with initially, was the admissions person, and she was great. She was helpful. She toured us around a couple of different times. The nurses who have been helping my grandmother have been great. My grandmother has been overall happy with the food, too. Everything looks brand new. They have nice common areas and a very nice dining room. They have activities almost every day. My grandmother will be doing arts and crafts today, and then they are going on a nature walk this afternoon. Those activities have really been beneficial for her, and she is able to walk around. She is getting a lot more exercise than she was when she was home. She loves their activities. All of the facilities are a high cost per month, but that is the nature of that type of assisted living, but for what you get at English Meadows versus some of the other places we toured, I think it's a great value for the money."

"My sister-in-law is now at Sunnyside Retirement Community. Primarily, it has just been a wonderful experience. All the levels of staff (the doctors, the nurses, the health aides, and the physical therapists) are very caring, very professional, and always very kind. My sister-in-law is in a single room with her own bathroom in there. She has a lovely window where she can look out and see trees, shrubs, and things like that. She has a nice bed, a reclining chair, and straight-back chairs, so there's room for people to come in and sit down and visit with her. There's plenty of room for her to move around in. It's very comfortable. They have a dining room area. If patients aren't feeling up to it, they bring it to the room. The dining room area is very friendly. She thinks the food is very good. They have a wonderful team and nutritionists on board. They have a wide variety of food. It's very tasty for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She is overall very pleased with the food. I'm very pleased with them. Every staff person that we either talk to or interact with has been very caring, very professional, and has reached out regularly. They have taken care of any needs that my sister-in-law certainly needs and are trying to be on top of everything for her best care. It's extremely clean and well-maintained. I find it comparable to any other place that I've been to, and it's expensive, but you get quality care, quality facilities, and quality medical care. "

"My husband and I will be moving to The Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community. We choose it because we have a daughter, a son-in-law and grandchildren in that area. I am also from that area so it feels like I am going back home. I like their set up because they go from individual cottages, to apartments, to assisted living and then nursing home. In other words, it is progressive. It goes to hospital stage. The staff is very nice. We are moving to a two-bedroom, two bath facility. There is a kitchen in the apartment, but I will not be cooking that much. It will be small but it will be sufficient. They have three dining rooms in different areas where we can eat. They have everything undercover so you don't have to walk out in the winter. They have a bank, a gift shop, a library and beauty parlor inside the buildings. The buildings are connected with covered walkways. "

"my mother lives there and she loves it. I am very pleased with how they take care of her they keep her room very clean and they give her regular showers as well the food is good as well. I have also noticed that her usage of depends has dropped dramatically,that tells me they are spending time with her using the toilet and the place doesn't smell bad like the hole she was in. great job staff thank you for taking care of mom."

"My father has been in the memory care part of Brightview Baldwin Park . The staff have been really taking care of him well. He enjoys the van rides and playing the piano as well as games in the community room such as bingo and crosswords. There is a nice private area in the back yard where they can relax. The bedrooms are large with a nice view of the yard. Thank you for doing a great job caring for Dad and those like him!"

"The apartments at The Legacy are incredibly spacious! I have not been able to find any other apartments like them at any Assisted Living communities in the Staunton area. My family has had good interactions with the staff. Stanford and Kate were VERY helpful with moving mom on tight timeline. And the front desk folks have been nothing but kind and welcoming. Mom loves sitting outside on the beautiful patio out back. "

"Oak Grove Manor was very good. It was set back from the road, so my mom wouldn't be able to run to it, but they wouldn't take her. The people were very kind. Even though they wouldn't take her, it was an excellent facility, and I would have loved to have my mom there."

"I toured Birch Ridge. I like that it's small. I like the grounds. The man couldn't have been nicer to answer my questions. I've had a good experience. The facility was very clean. It probably needs to be modernized and updated. It has the feel of being old, but it was clean. The rooms are nice, but their common area, the furniture, it's old."

"My sister is happy here. At first, we didn't have nowhere to put her, and they took her. She's happy there. They really take good care of her with her condition. She's dying of cancer, and they keep a close eye on her. She's a heavy smoker and that's the only one we found where she's allowed to smoke, and we didn't want to take that away from her with her dying. As long as she can get up and go to smoke. They're just all around good people. At certain nights of the week there's no med tech there, so if you're in severe pain and it's after 11:00, you have to deal with it. It's very clean. They get three proper meals a day and it's good quality food. You got to watch cholesterol and sugar and all that stuff, but they have healthy meals, too. They're allowed to go out and walk and do activities. They are allowed to go to the Elkton Community Center, and they do activities down there."
