Assisted Living Communities in Rocky Mount, VA

"My niece moved with her mom to Carriage Hill Retirement. The food is very good, and it's always presented very well on the plates. It's usually meat and a couple of vegetables. The rooms are very big and nicely laid out. You can take your furniture, or you can use it from there. If you can travel, they have a bus that takes people places. They have bingo and a preaching service on Sunday, which my sister and my niece enjoy. The staff is very good and very helpful. They take them out into the common area where there is a TV, and people can sit. The value for money is reasonable."

"My mother recently passed away after being a resident of Red Oak Manor for a little over four and half years. When I would stop by to visit with her, the facility was always clean. I knew my mother was safe, comfortable, and content. Her daily needs and routines such as meals, medication, hygiene, and socialization were meet. She was content which helped me be content. I want to thank the Red Oak Manor staff for the care that they provided to my mother."

"We chose Runk & Pratt at Smith Mountain Lake because they primarily offered very supportive assisted living for my mother-in-law. She has dementia and she's coming out of a memory care unit where she was previously, so they allowed her to try assisted living. So that's what we're trying right now. Also, its proximity to our home. They have devotions in the morning and little calisthenics, sort of exercises. In the afternoons, they usually have some kind of activity, whether it's a craft or music or bingo. They play Wii bowling. So, there's always something. They also went to see the Christmas lights. One evening they got on the bus, and anybody that wanted to could drive around and go to this special Christmas light place. So, it's things like that that she didn't get to do when she was in memory care. So she's able to participate in some of those activities. My mother-in-law has her own studio apartment. We brought our own furniture, but it has room for a small dorm refrigerator and a couple of chairs. The room is fairly large. She has her own bathroom with a shower and toilet sink. It has two clothing closets and a linen closet. So it's a fairly nice-sized room. The staff seems to be very caring. They seem to care about her, and they seem to be very attentive to her needs."

"Harmony Hall has improved SO MUCH this year! It's exciting! The atmosphere of the entire place has greatly improved. People are happy like never before. The dining room is being removed and looks fabulous! They have more activities than they have had before. They have much better food....I ate Bar-B-Q up ribs there last week. People were going back for 2nd and 3rd plates of food. So blessed to have my family member here!!! "

"My tour of Woodland Hills Community was very good. It was a very lovely facility because it's quite new, so it's very beautiful. And they have some unique features for their residents that are quite nice. One is that they offer enrichment classes for their residents. The residents can learn about all kinds of things while they're there during these enrichment sessions. They have a beautiful facility. The rooms that they used for respite were lovely. They were like one-bedroom apartments. The kitchens in the entrance area of the room were a little bit cramped, so we weren't quite sure how that would work with a wheelchair or a walker. That was one concern we had about the rooms in that facility. But the dining area was lovely, and the menu looked like gourmet food. The chef was from Italy. We talked with a couple of residents, so that was helpful. Overall, it was a very nice facility, but they required a 30-day respite stay."

"The rooms at Kings Grant Retirement Community were adequate. The dining room was beautiful and the kitchen was nice. The people were nice. They have a much smaller resident ratio to the staff. There were more people working there than there are in the average assisted living, but you pay for that attention. The staff were very professional. They have RN, LPN, as well as CNA. "

"Magnolia Ridge assisted living facility, located in Roanoke, Virginia, is one of the smaller assisted living facilities that I have ever visited. According to their website, they only host 34 beds in the entire place. The benefit of having such a small facility is that each and every patient admitted gets much more attention and care than they would be able to at a larger assisted living facility. This truly sets Magnolia Ridge apart as one of the best assisted living facilities that one can hope to find themselves in. Not too long ago, I had a relative who was admitted to the facility. Due to health complications, he was no longer able to care for and maintain himself, so an assisted living facility was one of the last options available. Due to the small size of the facility, he was able to receive the care and attention that he deserved, and up until his passing he was very happy to be staying at such a comfortable, homely place. "

"We liked Brandon Oaks. It was nice and clean. The people were friendly. The apartment were a good size. The food was real good."

"The staff at the facility was always very friendly, even when my grandmother was being difficult. They were helpful and it was clear more than one person was involved in the care of my grandmother. The facilities were of a nice size, with room for personal touches and amenities such as a television; however,each room I encountered had a strong odor. While they appeared very clean and organized, the stench was noticeable. The dining and entertainment there was very good; I got to try some of the drinks and food, which were both above my expectations. My grandmother often goes to see the music groups that come and perform for them. Residents can spend time outside, and even be brought to a relatives for a special occasion; for my family, that was thanksgiving at my aunts house. Overall, I would say the positives would be the friendly and competent staff, the size and decor of the rooms, and the entertainment provided. However, I was disenchanted by the rather mysterious smell of the rooms. "

"My husband is currently at the Virginia Veterans Care Center. They've done a very good job with him, and they're doing regular, weekly COVID testing, and they've been very diligent in keeping that out of there. Even though they have a lot of cases now, they've actually done a very good job. Everybody's been fine, everybody's been very professional, and there's good communication with everybody up there. He seems satisfied with the food."

"I have already placed my mother in Hermitage Roanoke, and this place is top notch. They have all kinds of activities; they’ve got a theater room. They’ve got good food and they are well cared for."

"My husband was in Mulberry Creek Assisted Living two years ago and he was there maybe 10 or 11 months. They were really good to him, and he liked that place. It's near my house. The staff is very, very nice. They have been very helpful to get him in, and very easy to register him and everything. Everybody has just been super nice. The nurses and the cleaning staff have been so nice to him and friendly. He's really having a good time because he's very, very outgoing and talkative, and he talks to them all, and two of them told me that they loved him. They're doing really well with food. They don't give him beef. They give him exactly what he has to have. He says it's good and he's enjoying it. He's eaten a whole lot better than he did at home. They have a very good chef, and the food is good. Last year, when he was there before, I ate there a lot, and they always had good food. It's nice, and they keep it clean. They have a lady who's walking around all day, making sure everything is clean. I don't enjoy having to pay that much, but it's pretty reasonable, and I'm satisfied with that too."

"My mom is in Joseph C. Thomas. The staff and the housekeeping is excellent, and the food is just average, but the quality is OK. The room is great and beautiful. It’s private. They keep everything very, very, clean, and there’s no odor. The grounds are excellent and kept very clean, and they are very well maintained. She is happy there. She can sit outside when the temperature is good. "
