The Best Assisted Living Communities in Franklin City County, VA

"I went to see Gates House in Gatesville and was very impressed with it. One of their representatives is supposed to go to where my husband is now and evaluate him. I saw some of the assisted living, but the tour is mostly for memory care because my husband has Alzheimer's. I've been talking with one of their representatives for several days now, and she's always been punctual in getting back to me. She keeps me informed and gives me some assurance that they're trying to do what they can to help me. I'm looking for a locked unit for my husband, for safety, and I was impressed with the rooms, the cleanliness, the way the residents appeared there, and the way the staff worked with us. I also like that the rooms were neat and the bathrooms were clean."

"I toured the Village at Woods Edge. The community was very good. The staff was very good. She was very professional. She asked questions about what my wife needed and stuff like that. She took me on a tour and introduced me to people, and that was very nice. They had a beauty salon. They had a place where they could take the people for exercise and garden. They had everything you would need."

"Very clean. Staff in Memory Care are fabulous. So kind and caring. My husband dosnt complain about the food. But he says it's not as good as mine! I wish they had more activites for the Memory care residents. The activites people go out of their way to come her my hubby to do some things. Room is lovely. Maintence staff is very helpful. "

"After having shoulder surgery. I decided to go to Nansemond Pointe for PT & OT. Both PT & OT were excellent. They were all cheerful and compassionate. Anytime I rang for help, someone would always pop their head in to see what I needed and find the right person to help me. The food was very good and Dietary visited me to see if there was anything I needed or wanted to change on my diet. The nurses and nurse caregivers were pleasant and willing to help me whenever I needed help. I liked the fact that the doctors visited often. Housekeeping staff and Maintenance staff were excellent. Everyone that participated in my plan of care kept up with my progress in PT & OT, Team Work Makes All of the Difference~ Thank-you All. "

"My husband has moved into Anchor of Hope Senior Living of Suffolk LLC. We chose it because it was very personalized with a small number of patients to the number of nurses. There's no risk that they'll say, "The Medicare is finished, so he has to leave now." He could stay there the rest of his life if he had to. It's very homey. It's in a regular house, so it has nice sunny windows and it's carpeted. It's very nice and very peaceful. It's just super pristine. Everything is perfectly clean like nobody's even been in there. It's well-kept. They have a physical therapy company that comes in. He's getting over a stroke, so he's there mostly for physical therapy. The food looks good and he likes it. He has a big screen TV which he likes. They have a washer and dryer and they do the laundry for the residents. They can eat in their room, but there's a common eating area, too, and they can eat together if they like. They have a stairlift but he's so feeble that he can't even walk. He can only use one hand, so he's pretty limited in what he can do right now. They help him with bathing and dressing, and they administer his medicines."
