Assisted Living Communities in Crozet, VA

"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 toured the assisted living of Brookdale Staunton for my mother-in-law. It is a nice facility, and the people there care about their residents. The person who welcomed us was very nice. She did a very good job for us. She was very informed and was generally concerned about the well-being of my mother-in-law. I saw some residents playing bingo, but there were other activities and plenty of things for them to do. They offer transportation, they have a beauty salon, and a craft area for the residents. There is an area where they can congregate and watch movies. There is a chapel area, a little library, and places outside that the residents can go to. They offer three meals a day, plan trips at different times, and even hold events. I think they celebrated St. Patrick's Day the other day. They have people there who try to get the residents involved in doing different things, which is good."

"I selected Journeys Crossing Assisted Living. The rooms are sizable even for a double occupancy, so you don't feel like you're in each other's way. The patients seem very free for where they're at; it's pleasant. It's just nice. The workers seem very happy and everything just seems right, so I'm happy. It didn't take very much to make a decision. It just fit my criteria. It's very, very nice, very clean. They had grounds that you could walk on. It's homey. It's only about a half hour from where I live now. The staff member was very pleasant. She was the activity director, and she was very nice, very pleasant, and showed me everything. When I needed to sit down, she got me a chair for it. I can't walk very fast or very far. They were great. It looks like a southern mansion. There were about forty people there, they had quite a few wings. They were playing bingo when I went through, and they were in the dining area."

"My dad will move to Bellaire at Stone Port. The overall tour experience was very good. What I liked about it most is that it's relatively new, very well kept, and there's a lot of light. More importantly, the woman leading the tour knew individuals. She introduced my father to individuals, and we were engaged in conversations. Everybody we met seemed happy to be there. We spoke to some of the people who had just had breakfast, and they had good reviews."

"Brookdale Harrisonburg was very, very nice. Everything was very, very efficient. The staff did a good job. They were very helpful. The dining area was also very nice and clean. They have just about anything you want like games, meetings, and get-togethers."

"I had a meeting with one of the administrators at The Lodge at Old Trail. I told her that I don't need assisted living yet, but I will need it, and when I do, I want to see how that's handled. She was very forthcoming. It's a beautiful building, it's very well kept, and it's very well made. There are some special things there that a lot of places don't have. For example, if you have an automobile, you can park your car in a garage underneath the building so it's completely out of the weather, and things like that are special. I have not eaten there, but I've been told that the food is really good. I've talked to some people who live there and they seem very pleased. It's a beautiful building inside and out, and I got the impression that the caretakers are very pleasant, knowledgeable, and caring. I got the impression that they're very careful about how they treat people, and that the people in assisted living are treated extremely well. In fact, that's where I'm probably going to decide to go myself when the time comes. There are some other buildings nearby, but they're all very new and very beautiful. The Lodge at Old Trail is a very nice building (or set of buildings) itself. It's very close to a part of the town, and there are places like the ACAC fitness center where you can go and work out that are just a five-minute walk away. They really treated me like I was a member of the community right away; I was very impressed with the quality of care."

"I liked English Meadows Crozet Campus. I liked the location and everything they had to offer. It was more inclusive than some of the other places that I visited. It's kind of one size fits all. There were no add-on charges for various levels of assisted living or any other area of charges. It's all-inclusive, which is good. I thought the facility was very nice. I am seriously considering the place but the only reason I haven't made it the place I want to go to is because all their apartments are studio apartments which are nice and spacious, but it's just that I've never lived in one before. So, I have to get used to that concept. Typically I would be more interested in a one-bedroom facility, which is what I saw in all the other places. English Meadows Crozet Campus only had studios although it's got various sizes and layouts."

"My in-person visit to Morningside of Charlottesville was very nice and informative. I liked everything that I saw. They included pretty much everything I was looking for. The personnel were all very nice, friendly, and cooperative. Overall, I would rate it a very good tour simply because it's one of the two places that I am seriously considering at the moment in terms of accommodation, finances, and everything else that I have to offer. The apartments were very nice. They had ample room. They were good-sized apartments and very nice as far as the floor plan."

"My husband was at Waynesboro Manor for awhile. Their environment was very good, and his room was very nice. I was very pleased with all of their staff. My experience there was very good until the last day. I found him sitting in a room by himself very soiled and dehydrated. I think they need to check on their patients more often. "

"I have an aunt and an uncle who has been living at Summit Square for almost 3 years. It was the best I've ever seen. There is nothing that Summit Square will not take care of. It's also one of the few places that have transportation, not just to a grocery store but to the doctor's office and church. They've got it all covered. It's a very active, thriving senior community where they support you in every way thinkable. It's one of the happiest communities I've ever walked in. They've got everything from a studio up to 2-bedrooms. It was a former hospital that was converted. But they're just standard-sized rooms. They're not overly large or overly small. My aunt and uncle have a 2-bedroom apartment with one and a half bath, in addition to a decent-sized living area with a kitchenette that's handicap accessible, and they have a den at the back. You can also bring pets. They have a brand new fitness center with all the machines. The physical therapist will come up to your room and do your therapy if you need it. My uncle used to have a very small social life until he lived here. Now, he is playing cards, he goes to Bible studies, he exercises 3 times a week, and he's really upset when he misses the ice cream truck on the birthday month. If you're a regular in one of the activities and you don't show up, they're going to check on you. They've got two regular dining areas and one sandwich shop. If you're sick or need help, they will deliver the food to your room. People are happy in the halls, they greet each other, they know each other, and they know what's going on. It is a true community. If I could rate them 10 stars, I'd give them 10 stars. "

"Martha Jefferson House is a privately owned assisted living facility. I went to take a look at it and it was a nice facility. We're still waiting for it to have an opening because it doesn't have any right now and only has a certain number of apartments. My mom is looking for a 2-bedroom and that won't be available until March or April next year. I like the friendly atmosphere of everybody. It was not just the staff, but the residents as well. Everyone seemed happy there. I also enjoyed the fact that the people who worked there were long-term employees, which tells me a lot about the company culture. That is good and a positive one, because people stay where they are appreciated. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. I liked the uniqueness of the rooms. They weren't cookie-cutter, but more individualized. I like the fact that the people who become residents there can also customize their space so if they want to have a different customized walk-in closet, they can do that. They have the closet space already, but if they want someone to put in the shelving unit, they can have a contractor come out and do that. I love the apartments because they were so well-maintained, too. They have certain rules they have to follow because of the state rules, but they don't have the institutionalized rules that other places have. They're more flexible in how they can take care of their clientele. I also felt like they weren't as controlling as some of those assisted living were sounding like to me. I think the grounds are beautiful. It's centrally located near the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, a big popular university there, so it's a beautiful area downtown. When I went there, they were having construction in their waiting room so I couldn't say much about that particular part, but the way they organized it so that we can work around that with a faster kind of process is good. Overall, they were the best one out of all the facilities I went to see."

"Trinity Mission Health and Rehab was clean. I would not have let my wife go back the second time if it wasn't clean the first time. The food wasn't a problem. As far as therapy, she wasn't able to take therapy while she was still on IVs. I don't have any problem with them or I wouldn't have gone back. I went with the administrator one time, and I talked directly to him. He even put me up in a motel for 5 nights. Trinity is the only one I still trust and I have no one else to recommend besides them. "

"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."
