"From what I saw during my visit, everything appeared clean and neat. I did not see any issues. The rooms were on the small side."

"Commonwealth Senior Living at Charlottesville was a very attractive, welcoming, well-organized place at first glance. Once I was taken on a tour of the facilities and especially the independent living floor, I was even more impressed. I liked everything that I saw. I liked how it was maintained and decorated and how residents were wandering around as people would do, coming and going as they pleased and the staff was available, but not bothersome in any way. I was very impressed with the size of the one-bedroom apartment that I saw and the layout of it. It had everything I could think that my mother-in-law would need or want. I was even more impressed with two things. One was the number of public spaces for the residents, a library, a theater room, a pub, a large dining area, small nooks and crannies everywhere with a couple of chairs and a table or something for people to sit and read or talk or whatever, a really big covered porch outside, one in the front, too, but this was on the side of the building, so it's kind of private. The person who was showing me around was so enthusiastic about the place. It was kind of contagious. I just agreed with her opinion on everything she was showing me, so it was easy for her to convince me that it was well worth checking out. I wasn't interested in the food because I wasn't going to be eating it particularly. I was happy to know that there were menus planned with a couple of choices for every meal, but there was also an option for the residents to get sort of on-demand a smaller, like fast food menu whenever they wanted, which I thought was good for people who may not want to be on the schedule of the place. It checked all the boxes for me."

"We wanted a place where we could visit my father in law freely and comfortably, and most importantly a place where he was treated with dignity and respect. Once I toured Acadia, I knew it would be the perfect place for him. The facility is absolutely beautiful and has spectacular views of the mountains. Acadia has all the comforts of home and such a peaceful atmosphere. Brad never hesitated to reach out to me via text, emails or phone conversations with updates on the status of my father in law. I always felt that my father in law was in a safe and secure environment. I was confident that the staff at Acadia had the ability and knowledge to care for my father in law. I completely recommend Acadia as very capable and loving facility for your loved one. "

"We toured Brookdale Staunton, and everything looked fine, but the rooms were a little bit small. The staff was very pleasant. We saw the residents playing, doing puzzles, and watching TV. They had a library, and they did Bible studies."

"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."

"I selected here. 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."

"Willow Estates Retirement, Inc. was a top notch facility for me. They seemed to have plenty of people in it. They had private rooms and everything was new and homey. "

"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. "

"We toured The Phoenix at Harrisonburg and we liked the independent cottages. The amenities looked top-notch because the place looked brand new. Everything looked like it was well-kept. The facility looked nice and clean, and the people were very helpful. I don't have anything negative to say about it. The independent living cottages already had a refrigerator, a microwave, a stove, and a dishwasher. There's a patio for each of the bedrooms. The assisted living had a refrigerator in it and a microwave. The staff who gave us the tour could probably use a little more training because I think she works part-time. There were some questions that she didn't have clear answers to. They had a courtyard that looked nice."

"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. "

"Life Care Center of New Market is where my wife is now. It is very well-appointed on the outside -- shrubbery, plants, and things like that. On the inside, the place is exceptionally clean. They have a very nice entrance, and they have a receptionist that can answer your questions very well and can direct you to the right place. The administrative staff is outstanding. They seem to go out of their way to make sure that not only the resident is taken care of, but also the family. I have had no complaints whatsoever. My wife is a diabetic, and she gets a good diabetic meal while she is there. My wife -- being in the wing where physical therapy is a need for the residents -- needs help as far as her legs and her arms go, and they give her therapy for that to improve her ability to stand and her ability to walk. I am extremely happy with them. The staff is outstanding. The nurses -- if you want to discuss anything with them -- are more than happy to freely discuss. It is the same way with the staff and the CMAs that are there as well. If they cannot answer the question, they get someone who can, which I think is a good thing. I have heard no complaints from any resident about their administration. They are very friendly. It is almost like the administration is in the front office, but they are more in the back office seeing that the residents’ needs are being met. "

"Our Mom was a resident at Shenandoah Place for many years and I can say that it’s a place like no other. The owners, management team and staff are the most loving and compassionate people. Each & every staff member speaks and assists residents in a loving manner and usually with an arm around them. I’ve always seen them stop what they’re doing to just talk to a resident. Residents are treated like family. I commend the owners & management team for maintaining this level of staff performance throughout the years. The facility is bright, airy and spotless. The rooms are huge with 2 closets and plenty of room to bring your own furniture. The living room is comfortably furnished as is the sun room. There are 2 outside porches where you can watch the rural scenery. The kitchen provides very tasty home cooked meals and tends to residents specific likes. The Activities twice a day are geared towards both physical and mental stimulation. Often community organizations come and provide entertainment. We feel blessed that Mom had so much love in her final years. "

"My brother has been here about 25 years an is handicapped. He LOVES it. I would highly recommend it. It is not new but they give them love food an fun an all they need.Very reasonable. Any visits to them will b very appreciated by them as most get no visitors. We live in SC so not get their often but I do call an here can here me and smiles because he cannot talk. "
