Communities in Petersburg, VA

"Bickford of Chesterfield was very nice. This place was our second choice if we didn't have room in the facility my mother got into. It was a pretty new facility. We only met with the person giving the tour, and she was very nice."

"Morningside of Bellgrade was very impressive. The rooms were not quite as large, but they seemed good. The common areas were very large and very nice. I saw that they had an arts and crafts room and a lot of activities that residents could engage in. They had a garden where people could do gardening, a chair aerobic exercise class, and crafts to make small things for the people in the hospital. The staff seemed great. I didn't eat anything, although their menu did seem more limited than the others that I visited."

"I toured Spring Arbor of Salisbury it's very close to where I live. We didn't like that one because I want independent living. I'm not ready for assisted living yet. They're very nice, very informative if I was ready to make a move, I'd probably be a little more interested than I am now. They're beautifully laid out, everything's accessible, no problem, and it's very spacious. The facility is very neat, well-landscaped, and decorated very nicely. I would recommend they go to see it. It's located within my range, it's accessible to where I am now in, as far as shopping and all that stuff."

"I visited Brookdale Midlothian and was impressed with the open windowed offices of the staff to see out at all times, and easy access to the staff. I liked the warm family atmosphere and that they have an optometrist three days a week and doctors available. The staff we dealt with was patient, warm, friendly, and directive with good eye contact. They showed me the dining area, the semi-dining, and the seated areas. They seemed to be happy with where they were working and compassionate. The memory care room seemed to be adequate and a little above compared to all the others that I've seen at other facilities. It appeared to be clean and spacious. I was also impressed with their two activity rooms with the availability of a pretend shop area for the men and just varied activities to encourage them to wake up and have a routine. They also had fully stocked freshly prepared carts for hydration and for snacks that they take down to the hall. I thought that was very attentive. I liked the personal approach in the hallways at each person's door as well. There's a shadow box where you had information about who lived in that room so that you can have a conversation."

"Heritage Green is a very welcoming facility with professional and loving care givers. My mom was a resident in the memory care unit for only 3 weeks but she was treated as if she'd been there a long time, like family. We especially liked my mom's spacious room that had a small kitchen area and plenty of storage space. The entire memory care area was well secured but there was an outside area where my mom could get some fresh air and be fully supervised. She had an individual therapy plan to help her with daily routines and socialization. We were so happy that my mom was welcomed with open arms to Heritage Green."

"I visited The Harmony Collection at Hanover. I didn't have anything that I didn't like. The rooms that we saw were nice. The facility was very nice. The services that they offer are appropriate. In independent living, they only provide one meal. The time of day I went, I didn't get to see a whole lot of the residents, but the staff informed me of the activities that they have and she showed me the activity room. They go out shopping and to dinner and they have entertainment that comes in. They have a van. They have a nice outdoor space. The dining room was nice. The facility was very clean from what I could see."

"My mom has decided to move into the Harmony at Hanover. It was the best-priced value for her to have independence yet still be safe. It's perfect for a senior. There are very friendly, incredible group of people that live here and work here. Her apartment is perfect for a walker. She has plenty of room to get in and out of doors. There are lots of safety things for her. Like her shower is made for safety precautions and things of that nature. I think it's wonderful. They have a large variety of activities. I could not speak to them specifically because my mom is sort of new there. I know she's been invited to many different types of things from listening to music to book clubs or bible studies or things like that, but I don't think she's been able to participate yet. I have not eaten there, but my mother loves the food. I think this is an incredible facility. It's a great apartment. It's a really good place. I like it a lot. The staff are incredibly kind, they care, and they're nice. Everything is new in the facility."

"We went to Sunrise of Richmond. From the minute we got there, it was warm and welcoming. I love the layout of the building, where the rooms are, how they're set up, the accessibility, if my father was to come out of the room how easy it would be for him to find someone and not feel lost. The grounds were beautiful. It felt safe. I spoke to a resident there. They showed us the studio and she's very happy. I asked her if she was happy there, if she felt safe there, she said she loved it. So we didn't speak to someone that would give you a tour because they weren't available, but the person that was there, was wonderful. He was able to answer almost all the questions that we had, just the layout of everything, how open it is, how you could see everything. It felt safe. On the way out, there was a gentleman there who was a resident and he was just as sweet as he could be. I love it, it was very homey. It felt like my father's home now. We're surrounded by trees and shade. I think he would be very comfortable there. We love the layout. They showed us a two-bedroom that you would share. I don't know if that would be the best for him and they don't have any of those available anyway. In the one-bedroom, there are no doors that separate the bedroom from the rest of the apartment, but it has a beautiful layout, big, beautiful windows. In the studio where the resident was, there's so much light in the rooms, which is a plus. That was perfect. That was a perfect size, the perfect layout, and everything. So, I mean, I was pleased with all of them."

"The people were friendly when I visited. They spoke to all the residents. The facility looked nice and clean. This one had an outside yard that residents could go and sit outside, and that would be important to my dad when the weather gets better. They had planned activities also. Overall, I was impressed with it."

"Pleasant family atmosphere. Sincerely caring staff and a home like feeling. Spacious living room and nice clean rooms for residents and assistance is available 24/7. Timely laundry and care to personal needs. "

"My mom is already in an ALF at Metro Gardens. She likes this facility because it is close to her community where she grew up. We have her in there the end of June of last year. She was in a hospital prior to that and that hospital got her in that place. Right now, she is doing very well. This facility works hand-in-hand with the PACE program in keeping her health and everything. Regarding accommodations, they have accommodated her to the point where she now has her own room for herself. She feels that that little area is hers. In this facility, she still has her independence but she has somebody with her. I'm just happy with it. Regarding food preparation, they're very good with the cooking. The patients were satisfied with how they cooked. "

"Vista Park didn't smell. There was a sitting room in the lobby for visitors, and it was nice, clean, and secure; you had to push a button to get in and have a code to get out. The dining area was nice, cozy, spacious, and open. My father was in a small, shared room. I didn't care for the residents' personal space and closest. They had activities, sometimes twice a day, but they didn't ensure that the residents participated in it. "
