Assisted Living Communities in Gloucester, VA

"Edgeworth Park at New Town seems to be very personable, very caring, and attentive to my friend's care and needs. They are professionals who consistently check on her and they're providing care in a manner that has made her transition from home much easier. The food is excellent. It's a clean facility where staff conducts regular cleaning and includes laundry, dusting, and vacuuming regularly. They do flower arranging, art classes, and movies every night at 7 pm. They have a happy hour each day. They make milkshakes. They have the ability to go on outings, shopping, walking outside the facility, and gardening (they have gardens available for the residents). The atmosphere is like a community of a family along with professionals."

"I visited Charter Senior Living of Newport News. They were really good. I just stopped by, and the tour person sat down with me, gave me a lot of great information, pricing, explained a little bit about the place, showed me around, and showed me the different rooms. It is a little bit smaller than the other place. The hallways were a little bit narrower, and they had carpet. The other thing is they didn't have the level of care we needed. The girls at the desk were nice, and they were able to call somebody right away. Not all the rooms had refrigerators and kitchenettes. The smallest room, which is what we were after, was very small, almost like a large hospital room with nothing in it, as far as a kitchenette or anything like that. You would have to leave to go eat, and my mom is not that type of person. She would rather stay in her room and pick at the refrigerator."

"Harmony on the Peninsula was a beautiful place. My husband and I looked at their assisted living and the rooms were nice. The staff seemed nice, and the place looked impeccably clean. They have a big common area, there are craft rooms, and lots of activities, too. The dining was nice. It was a big open space and they have dining after-hours where you can order something. It's just expensive, probably the most expensive of the places we have visited. As we walked around, the staff were very friendly, greeted us, and said hi to us. The person who was showing us around was a little snooty. We were like, "This is very expensive so we're not sure" and she said, "Well, not everybody can afford to come here". Maybe she was just trying to be realistic with us because we had given her our financial information."

"I toured Harper's Station Yorktown. The people, the community itself, are very welcoming. I got a chance to eat there. They had a lot of choices, and the food was very good. The washer/dryer was good, a closet with doors. That's the only thing I was hesitant about, but good size. This facility is practically new. They have a pool and exercise equipment, and everything you need."

"My mom moved into Commonwealth Senior Living at Kilmarnock. We chose that place because my brother is only half an hour away, so he can go often. That is what he had been doing. Virginia and that area is my mom's home, and we wanted her to stay there where friends and family are. They have a lot of staff, and this seems to be more of a calling and a passion for them. They have smiles on their faces, are friendly, and caring. They have a bounce to their step. The minute you walk in the door, you feel the positive energy and the joy, which the residents also reflect. They are all happy. The day that we moved in, I saw the food. They do farm-to-table. It's very fresh. They try and they are doing things to engage all five senses, so it looks beautiful. It smells delicious. This is a new facility. It is absolutely beautiful. When you look at the outside it's clean, it's neat, it's bright, and it's welcoming. There are places to park. When you go in, there is a reception area that looks like a five-star hotel. It's very nicely decorated. There are sofas and tables and it's just really, really pleasant. When you go into the area where my mom is it's bright and it's airy. It smells wonderful and it's quiet. The area is wide enough for people with walkers and wheelchairs. It's very comfortable. The staff is everywhere. There are games to play at any time. There are people who invite the residents to go and interact there. All of the furniture is very sturdy. It's clean, neat, and it smells wonderful."

"My dad moved to Commonwealth Senior Living at Hampton. They were very attentive to him. He was difficult because he was confused. They were very patient. They were open to any ideas about getting medication and favorite foods and drinks that we could bring in or something that they could try that worked for him. Even all night when he would be up and my sister would just go in late, they were working with him and trying to get him comfortable and that kind of thing and keeping an eye on what he was eating and the behaviors he was exhibiting. We all felt like they were very thorough in their assessment of him at their house, and then their ongoing assessments of him while he was in their care. There were other people who had retired from the shipyard, and they tried to get him to engage with them. I liked that they had technical things for them to do, to play with locks and things. I would have liked to have seen a little more of that, but they did have a small area of that setup that I thought was nice. It was clean, but like in the courtyard, the gate going to the HVAC system or something looked like it was broken and just kind of wedged."

"First Choice Assisted Living II was a nice place. It's clean. The staff was friendly. I felt comfortable there. The room was nice. They showed me a studio room. They have everything that we were looking for. We're looking for 24-hour care and meal preparations. The staff was very friendly, very knowledgeable and willing to help."

"My nephew garland lives there He loves it "

"We are all adjusted at Sanders Senior Living Community. My parents have been there since April, and we're very happy with it. It's an amazing facility. It's been fantastic. The staff has been amazing, and the administration has been amazing. The onsite physicians have been right there to take care of every need. My parents love the food. It's just a wonderful facility, and I would recommend it to anybody that needs a place for their parents for assisted living. They lost their main chef the first week my parents were there, and they're trying to get that back together. Most places you walk in and there's always a certain smell, but this place is clean, smells fresh, and just topnotch. I've seen the activity list for the month. They always have it posted and there's always something for them to do. Assisted living is expensive, so it would be great if it would be a little bit cheaper than what it was, but it is what it is."

"I chose Walter Reed Convalescent & Rehab because they have a very good memory care system. We toured the place, everything came out really nice, and they had some very good people there. My mom is happy, healthy, and doing as well as can be expected in this community. There aren't very many amenities and activities since these people are quite far along in their dementia and their mental state doesn't allow for much. But they're kept clean, their rooms are neat, and the food is good. They're good about taking care of people. They feed them, make sure their diapers are changed, and the place doesn't smell. It's just a small unit, but there's quite a few nurses, so everybody kind of has their own person. When you walk around, the main door can't be opened unless it's from the outside, so it's very secure, plus they have ankle bracelets. The place is a nice brick building and it's well-heated and air-conditioned."

"My aunt has lived in this facility for years. She is classified as schizophrenic. She is 80 years old. When we go to visit her, the place is always dirty. We have found roaches and other bugs in my aunt's room. It always smells nasty and looks like it has never been cleaned. She didn't even have toilet paper. They aren't fed properly or given enough to drink. There are no doctors or nurses on staff and the staff that is there could care less about the patients. Very poor facility... When we bring her things she needs, she isn't allowed to put her name on them and when we visit her again, the things we brought are gone. They steal clothing, bedding, jewelry, pillows, food and it's the staff that are doing the stealing. I have reported this facility numerous times to no avail. I do wish someone would investigate this place and demand changes or transfer the patients (there were only 7 there at my last visit) and shut the place down. "

"Wow! Where to start? Despite our son's unfortunate circumstances, he was very fortunate to have been a resident at Anderson's Cozy Home. After being diagnosed with a nasty disease, FTD, our Michael was the first resident there. The Andersons treated him with love and compassion, just like family. They are special people, and are now part of our family as "adopted children and grandson." You will not find better care! They have a spacious home located in a beautiful setting. One of the things we liked the most is the Andersons don't just sit around the house. They offer stimulating, family activities by taking residents to ball games, museums, musical events and parks. We felt like we hit the jackpot, knowing that Michael was in the best hands possible. "

"My father-in-law has decided to stay at Colonial Manor. The cleanliness is good. They keep everything very clean, but it just needs some updates. Nevertheless, we have been blessed because of the staff. They are very caring about what they do. Every Wednesday residents go on field trips to different restaurants and to the senior center. There are also some church activities going on on Sundays. We have had a very good experience with the staff; however, the place needs some sprucing up. They could do more activities, but I don't know whether they're fully staffed to handle that. They bring somebody else from the outside to do activities with the residents. It is a great value for the money."
