Assisted Living Communities in Lebanon, VA

"I’m satisfied with and really like Oakmont at Gordon Park. It’s a beautiful facility, the location is beautiful, the activities are great, and the staff is very caring. The food is very delicious. The room is beautiful and of course you bring your own furniture. They will let you put pictures on the wall and however you want to decorate it. "

"We toured Commonwealth Senior Living at Cedar Bluff. It was a nice place, and the staff was knowledgeable, but they could have given me more information. The rooms seemed to be clean and kept up."

"My dad is at American House Bristol. He seems to be adjusting well. They seem to be very sensitive and typically are well informed of anything that he needs. I'm very pleased with where he is right now. My dad is an Alzheimer's patient. It is one of the few facilities in the area that has assisted living, but does have two other levels of memory care that he is probably going to need in the near future. I wanted a place that would be able to help him when those needs arise. His room is cozy. It's not a large room, but it meets his needs. It's a studio, and it's newly remodeled. It's not hardwood, but it's laminate flooring. It's freshly painted. It is small, but he is not really mobile, so it meets all his needs. So far, I have not had any problem with upkeep. They come in once a week and clean. They do a nice job of keeping it clean. When I come over at mealtimes, the food looks really nice. They seem to have well-balanced food. It's more like country cooking. The other night I was there, and they had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a variety of desserts. They also always have soup and salad, if you want that. My dad loves that kind of cooking. For activities, I know they have people come in and entertain them. They do luau and different things like that. Unfortunately, he has not been able to be there during the afternoon as much, which is when they have those kinds of activities scheduled."

"The staff was very friendly and helpfpul. I helped them in the kitchen for two days. The residents have everything they need and could ever want, they are well cared for. The facility is quite large and houses many residents. I got to know some of them over the two days I was there and alot of them where friendly also. "

"We have already placed my sister in Renaissance House. The place is OK, but it is pretty institutional-looking, i.e., not cinder block walls, and not homey. My sister shares a room with someone. It is not very large, but it is OK. This place is sort of in the residential area. They can get on a bus and go around and go to the stores, shopping centers, movie theaters and things like that. That's relatively nice that they have access to that, but they have to pay for it. Also, you could walk around outside the facility. So far, the activities are pretty limited. The food looks unappealing to me, i.e., like hotdogs, beans. They're cheap and not healthy food. I would pick my sister out and take her out every chance I get. What they could improve on, is that they could get a real dietitian in there to plan healthy vegetables. They hardly ever have fresh vegetables and fruits to eat. Also, they could have activities for them. The place is nice and clean, but I think they could make it a little more stimulating and find a way to take them places where it doesn't cost them more money. "

"Abingdon Manor has obviously seen better days, at least as far as the building goes. Some attempt has been made to decorate it, but it needs quite a bit more to make give it a more home-like environment. Of all the staff I encountered there, only one was wearing scrubs; the others had on just street clothes making them hardly distinguishable from the residents except for obvious age and mobiity differences. However, the environment was clean and orderly, although lacking in air conditioning. The staff seemed to interact well with the residents, who were themselves fairly clean and neat and seemed to have no overt complaints. The manager was conspicuous by her absence. "
