Assisted Living Communities in Reston, VA

"We toured Harmony at Chantilly. My wife and I met a nice young lady. She explained the costs in the boardroom and answered our questions. She's very knowledgeable about pets, deposits required, and meal or no meal plan. So, we got a good idea of that, including the activities at the center and how many units there are. Then she took us on a tour of a one-bedroom with a den and a two-bedroom unit, which was very nice. She showed us all the areas from the exercise room to the theater and dining room. So, we saw all four floors of independent living. We were very well-informed when we left, and it is a very nice place. One thing we have to consider seriously is the cost. It is one of the more expensive ones. If you include all in with the meal plan, parking, and cable, you're looking at over $8,100 a month."

"Sunrise at Fair Oaks has been like heaven on earth for me and my family. The care has always been top notch, delicious food, great activities but the people have always been wonderful. The employees don't leave which makes my mom at ease. We were previously at another community but switched to Sunrise at Fair Oaks and found myself relaxed and at ease. They are very communicative and have an app that allows me to see what my mom does each day and will often send pictures of her to us. This was such a hard decision but the nurse Martine was such an advocate for my mom and we will forever be grateful. I would highly recommend this community."

"My husband moved into Sunrise of Hunter Mill. We like the idea that the facility was smaller, and we thought that that would be advantageous for my husband. It was a little closer to home as well. It was just a good vibe. I had a good feelng about the place. Everybody seems so kind and upbeat. It's a really lovely place. They promoted the involvement of the residents. He's kind of a solitary person, and we thought this would be a good opportunity for him to at least be around other people and socialize, so that's why we chose it. The staff is very nice, very accommodating, and very upbeat. They keep you informed as to what they've done and his progress. I like that they communicate. You don't have to hunt them down to talk to them. Their availability is huge for me. I like to know what's going on. We had lunch and the food was good. We enjoyed it. My husband likes the food, too. They come in, they clean the room, and they pick up the trash. Downstairs in the main lobby, in the seating areas and activity areas, everything's very clean. They're very impressive. They have arts and crafts, exercise a couple of times a day. They try to group individuals that they feel may be similar in some way together, sitting them at the dinner table and also with the activities. It's a little cold right now, but the staff said that they go outside when the weather's permitting and they have all kinds of outside activities as well. They're taking them on little trips down to the ice cream store or wherever it might be like shopping if they're able to. They have everything planned out perfectly. It's expensive, but it's still a very competitive range compared to other centers that are similar in size or what they offer. It's moderate as far as expense goes."

"Everyone at The Ridge at Sterling was especially friendly. They let us have lunch on our tour and the food was wonderful. The facility is going through a renovation. They've made really good choices with the materials they've chosen. Its flooring is good for walkers and wheelchairs. The coloring is nice, light, and friendly in appearance. The design of the building is nice and spacious. The rooms are big with nice windows. The dining area was a lot like a restaurant. It was nicely decorated for Christmas. Everyone was positive like the staff interacting with the residents. It was a very positive environment. Everything seemed nice."

"We visited Sunrise of Vienna right after they opened. The community only had a few residents at the time we visited. The facility is absolutely beautiful. It is a five-star, modern, gorgeous hotel. It's really pretty. My mother-in-law prefers an older-style Sunrise or the more homey-style assisted living. However, for me and my husband, if we had been looking for ourselves, it's what we would have picked. They outdid themselves on just being a beautiful facility. They have pretty, nicely laid-out apartments. There are different views and stuff like that. It was just really nice. For the common areas, there were little outdoor patios. The staff was outstanding and very knowledgeable. We did not try the food, but the dining area was upscale and nicely done. However, even though I've been raving about it, there were only a couple of residents, so we didn't get to see the community as it would come together."

"Advent Care is like a house in a neighborhood. It's a nice idea, but it wasn't quite what my aunt needed in terms of the bathroom being accessible. I think it would have been difficult for her to get around the house in a wheelchair. The lady was very helpful. Even when she knew that we weren't going to be able to do private pay, she shared resources with us on how to get financial help to try to get her into a comfortable situation. She even followed up with me later and sent me websites and stuff. It has two rooms, one has two beds, and the other only has one bed. She said her family lives there at the house, and there was a dog, which I know my aunt wouldn't like. She said that when her husband and her child are home, they help. She prepares meals, which is nice. My mom went with me, and she is in her 60s. She does have knee problems, and she had a hard time getting around. There wasn't a railing on the front step. There wasn't a ramp. She had to use the bathroom, and she had a hard time getting up off the toilet because there weren't the handicap bars where they needed to be. I wasn't comfortable with it. It is not well-equipped for someone who can't walk on their own. If they can get up and walk around, it is a nice little house, and meals are made from scratch. They had chairs and stuff outside, but it was a question of how to get them out there. There's no ramp. The lady said that they encourage them to be out and about, and they have TVs in the family room. She was very helpful, even knowing that we weren't going to be able to give them our business. She still continued to offer support, health websites, things like that to help us find a place and offered to even take my aunt temporarily for a lower price if we couldn't find a place for her to live, like if we couldn't get the Medicaid thing settled. She was a very, very nice lady. It was more physical equipment-wise that was questionable. The food looked good, like homemade fresh vegetables, chicken, that kind of thing."

"My husband moved to Sunrise of McLean. He needs additional help with so many things. He is actually on their third floor, which is primarily memory care. He has Parkinson's, so he has a little bit of dementia, and he gets excellent care up there. They watch him all the time. They make sure that he doesn't try to get up unassisted, and they make sure that he gets assistance getting up and going into the bathroom and helping with his showers. There are plenty of attendants, so there is always somebody around watching what everyone is doing. That's one of the reasons I like it, that there are enough attendants. Some of the other facilities, I felt, were lacking in that department. He could probably be in just assisted living, should he not need all the assistance and extra care. It bugs him sometimes because he said he has to switch dinner partners frequently. He was at one table, and he said nobody there knew their names. He has to be rotated around a little bit so that he can have a conversation at the meal. Today in their activity area, they had someone come in who plays the piano and sings, so there was entertainment for an hour and a half. That's done at least once a week. They have live entertainment that comes in the afternoon. They have excellent food, much better than the rehab facilities, and he's very pleased with it. They vary their menus so they're not having the same thing every single week. I was there today for lunch, and there was corn soup, a green salad, a piece of pizza, and southwestern beans with a square of chocolate cake with whipped cream on the top for dessert. The facility is very well laid out. There are plenty of places where the family can gather outside of the room and visit. They also have a private dining room if you would like to reserve it for a family birthday or something. For activities, they have quite a few things. Some of them, my husband just isn't interested in, but that's his problem and not the facility's. Twice a week, they have what they call a scenic ride, and you can put your name down for the bus, and you go out for a ride for about half an hour to 40 minutes. It's a nice little break, and they vary the route. It's just a nice scenic ride, especially this time of the year when all the flowers are out in the greenery. I usually go with him on those, so I know for a fact. There are plenty of things to do. There's painting and bingo. They even have travelogues where you can go and visit a country on TV. They have a lot of different things like that, even though my husband doesn't choose to go and do them. Everyone seems very happy there, and all of the staff seem to know everyone by name. I've seen them when people are coming down from the main dining room to the other floors. The memory care and assisted living's dining room and patio are actually on their floor, but everyone else goes down to a big central dining room to eat. When they come in, they're greeted by the staff by their names. They seem to know everybody's name. They even know my name, my daughter's name, and my son-in-law's name when we come to visit. That's a big thing there. They try to learn everybody's names very quickly."

"My husband and I are going to be moving to The Trillium Tysons for independent living. I think it's the best. Everything's around there; it's the 10th floor, which thrills us, and we got a corner unit, so we get sun and light on both sides. It's beautiful and surpassed my expectations. I saw pictures of it first on the internet, so I expected it to be nice, but when we walked in there, we were awed. I'm having the master bedroom and master bath changed to be the color of our bedroom now because it's the most soothing color. They said they would have done the whole apartment if we wanted. They also said if we wanted to have the closet organizers we have in our house, they could do that for us. They're also going to put grab bars in the shower because that's very important to me. As it is right now, they don't have a door in the shower, so we're getting glass doors in the shower, which they're doing for us, too. The lady who worked with us was as patient as could be. She drew things out for us, answered every question we had, and said that if we had any further questions, we should not hesitate to call. She has the sweetest personality so I just love her. When I came in, I said we've been driving around, and the coffee is horrible. She went and got us a latte during the meeting. If that's an indication of what the service will be like, then I'd rate them highly. She is outstanding. The place is conveniently located near everything, with all the stores and doctors around. That's if you want to go outside, because you don't have to. Everything is already there for you. I would say within a square mile, you have banks, hairdressers, and a movie theater. It's like a village unto itself. You have a choice of a 20-meal package or a 30-meal package. We took the 20-meal package because we like to eat out a lot, and there are a lot of restaurants around there, too. The 20-meal package means you get at least one meal a day. The person we are working with said most people go for dinner because it's a big, fancy meal. They have a Michelin chef there, too. She did say that if you went beyond your 20 or 30 meals, you could get a card and you could pay for it."

We are an assisted living home for the elderly. We have private and semi-private rooms, and all the rooms have a half bath in them. We have a very loving staff, who has been with us for a long time. We provide home-cooked meals. We push a lot of water, residents are clean at all times, and clean clothes. We provide activities: we have yoga every Fridays, table games, etc. We have a beautiful back porch where the residents like to sit on a nice day. The house is all on one level, with no climbing stairs. The home is very clean, with no odor.To learn more about this providers license and review other available state reports, please visit: Virginia Department of Social Services Facility Search

"The Providence Fairfax has excellent facilities. It's very well maintained and very well cared for. The proximity is close to my sister, my nephew, and my nieces. So, we could have a lot of family support for my father. Our move-in experience was very good. People are very welcoming and the residents are also very welcoming and they socialize. It's a good location. There's plenty of parking for the families and things like that. They have an excellent chef. The main thing that my father is doing right now is physical therapy, which he likes, but they also have different outing trips. Sometimes they have activities where people come in and play the piano or do some musical activities. There's movie night and when the weather's nice and you want to sit outside, there is a rooftop. Some amenities are available for whoever wants to participate. The facilities are very clean and very well laid out. My father has a one bedroom so there's enough space. He has a nice size bedroom, a comfortable living room, a kitchen, and elevator access. They also provide laundry service and cleaning services. So, they clean once a week and do laundry once a week. Internet and utilities are provided. It's only ten minutes from the hospital just in case of emergencies. The staff has been very helpful, very friendly, and very supportive. It's like staying in a five-star hotel. The food is excellent. It is very expensive but they provide the services that you need. In the Fairfax, Virginia area, everything there was expensive so that's just what's in the area."

"Sunrise at Countryside is very nice. The tour staff was very helpful. I asked for the lowest level of service, and it was $2,000 more just for a basic apartment. We didn't sample any food, but the dining area was fine. It was a comfortable cafeteria setting. The amenities were fine and decent, too."
