The Best Assisted Living Communities in Staunton City County, VA

"The apartments at The Legacy are incredibly spacious! I have not been able to find any other apartments like them at any Assisted Living communities in the Staunton area. My family has had good interactions with the staff. Stanford and Kate were VERY helpful with moving mom on tight timeline. And the front desk folks have been nothing but kind and welcoming. Mom loves sitting outside on the beautiful patio out back. "

"My father has been in the memory care part of Brightview Baldwin Park . The staff have been really taking care of him well. He enjoys the van rides and playing the piano as well as games in the community room such as bingo and crosswords. There is a nice private area in the back yard where they can relax. The bedrooms are large with a nice view of the yard. Thank you for doing a great job caring for Dad and those like him!"

"I toured Birch Ridge. I like that it's small. I like the grounds. The man couldn't have been nicer to answer my questions. I've had a good experience. The facility was very clean. It probably needs to be modernized and updated. It has the feel of being old, but it was clean. The rooms are nice, but their common area, the furniture, it's old."

"I went to Birch Gardens of Royal Care. It is a very pleasant location and a very nicely designed facility. Big space. It had plenty of places for the residents to sit and enjoy games and activities and a nice garden out back. The bedrooms and the bathrooms are all well-designed for people with varying degrees of disability. The staff is very respectful and helpful. The building is very attractive and very clean. It's an older building, but it's well-kept."

"My parents really liked The Retreat at Fishersville. They liked that it was small and the people were very friendly. It was a very beautiful, calm setting. Everything was very pretty about it, but it was a little hard for my mom to get around. It was spread out a lot, so we had to get her in a wheelchair and take her around. Other than that, it was very pretty. The rooms they showed us were wonderful. They were very up-to-date. Thy didn't look dated at all. They had plenty of space. The staff was very knowledgeable and very helpful to me. They had plenty of activities. They had a calendar of events and it looked like the menu was very well thought out. It's very convenient to our local hospital in case of emergency."

"Overall the Living Waters facility was accommodating and provided an intimate environment for my grandparents. We liked that the facility was a smaller remodelled house instead of a more institutionalized building. The staff was polite and when we experienced problem staff - management responded quickly. Food was always sub-par but again since the overall facility was large - the kitchen and dining areas were close enough to talk with the cooks - which made the overall feeling comfortable. We were disappointed with the lack of daily activities - most residents watched television most of the time. "

"All I can say Is Wow! Shenandoah Nursing was the best choice for our father. My family began looking for long term care for my father and we've been on Shenandoah's wait list for a long while. I can see now why there Is a wait list. The staff are wonderful, treated each one of my sisters and our father like he was family. They went above and beyond what you would expect to make our father comfortable and he's a particular gentleman to say the least. Everyone there Is happy to be there, staff included and It shows. The director of nursing and her team of nursing staff always made us feel comfortable. Invited us to call or stop in at anytime. What a relief that was to us knowing our father was getting the best care. The facility Is immaculate, food was great and we didn't want for anything while our father was a resident. Thank you Shenandoah nursing and rehab."

"Oak Grove Manor was very good. It was set back from the road, so my mom wouldn't be able to run to it, but they wouldn't take her. The people were very kind. Even though they wouldn't take her, it was an excellent facility, and I would have loved to have my mom there."

"My mother moved into Stuarts Drafts Retirement Community, it's very nice, and we liked it very much. The food is very good, and the staff is very nice, and attentive. They serve a dinner meal daily, there's an additional charge for that, and they have an activity calendar that has trips, tea parties, bingo, exercising, movies, and music every week. They have a physical therapy company that is located there, but they charge for the physical therapy of course. It's very clean, well-cared for, she has a very nice studio apartment with a full kitchen and comfortable bathroom, but they also have 1 and 2-bedrooms. Some are in a buildings, and some are separate, like in a house setting. It's family-owned, and the family is on site frequently. It has a great reputation in the community. The price is the most reasonable we found anywhere, and it's in a beautiful, rural location. She has a great mountain view, so it's very pretty."

"My husband was at Waynesboro Manor for awhile. Their environment was very good, and his room was very nice. I was very pleased with all of their staff. My experience there was very good until the last day. I found him sitting in a room by himself very soiled and dehydrated. I think they need to check on their patients more often. "

"I have an aunt and an uncle who has been living at Summit Square for almost 3 years. It was the best I've ever seen. There is nothing that Summit Square will not take care of. It's also one of the few places that have transportation, not just to a grocery store but to the doctor's office and church. They've got it all covered. It's a very active, thriving senior community where they support you in every way thinkable. It's one of the happiest communities I've ever walked in. They've got everything from a studio up to 2-bedrooms. It was a former hospital that was converted. But they're just standard-sized rooms. They're not overly large or overly small. My aunt and uncle have a 2-bedroom apartment with one and a half bath, in addition to a decent-sized living area with a kitchenette that's handicap accessible, and they have a den at the back. You can also bring pets. They have a brand new fitness center with all the machines. The physical therapist will come up to your room and do your therapy if you need it. My uncle used to have a very small social life until he lived here. Now, he is playing cards, he goes to Bible studies, he exercises 3 times a week, and he's really upset when he misses the ice cream truck on the birthday month. If you're a regular in one of the activities and you don't show up, they're going to check on you. They've got two regular dining areas and one sandwich shop. If you're sick or need help, they will deliver the food to your room. People are happy in the halls, they greet each other, they know each other, and they know what's going on. It is a true community. If I could rate them 10 stars, I'd give them 10 stars. "

"We went and saw Bridgewater Retirement Community. We were very impressed by them. We were visiting friends who live there. They're in a duplex house. They have their own quarters and garage and all that. They have access to all common areas, which is quite extensive recreations like exercise, barbershops, beauty shops, and all sorts of stuff in there. Plus, if and when they need it, they can move into assisted living. And then beyond that, if they need it, they can move into skilled nursing care. It's all there in one campus, and it is run by the same people with all the same general facilities available to everyone, but then specifically, depending on what level of care you're at. And we were very impressed by the whole thing. It seems well-run and clean. It's the a kind of facility that we were hoping to find for my sister-in-law. She is not fabulously wealthy, but she has plenty of money to go into a place like that. It's a great place. It's very modern, very well-kept, and beautifully decorated. We didn't eat there, but what this place does is they give you credits for some restaurants in the area that you can go to. So that was nice and well done. Our friend told us that they have a dining area there that is chef-prepared level of dining. In terms of activities, it's the widest variety you can think of. They have hobby craft activities. The staff working there were very friendly and helpful. Just really, nice people. It costs a lot to get there. I think it's very good value for the money. My wife and I couldn't afford it, but for those who can afford it, I think none of them are feeling cheated in any way. It's not just the facility; it's the people. They go out of their way to do whatever you need them to do for you. They're anxious to help. They're pleasant and friendly. It's hard to put a value on that because they seem very genuine people. "
