Assisted Living Communities in Timberville, VA

"The staff took wonderful care of my loved one as well as anyone who visited. The facility is clean and homelike. Every room has its own bathroom and shower. The residents always seemed to have smiles on their faces. "

"Shenandoah Place was nice. It was a little less expensive, and it was smaller and quieter. We looked over the dining room area and it was nice and clean. The staff who assisted us with the tour was nice. We liked her. The rooms were maybe a tad smaller. They didn't have a kitchenette, but they said you could put a refrigerator in there if you wanted to."

"My brother has been here about 25 years an is handicapped. He LOVES it. I would highly recommend it. It is not new but they give them love food an fun an all they need.Very reasonable. Any visits to them will b very appreciated by them as most get no visitors. We live in SC so not get their often but I do call an here can here me and smiles because he cannot talk. "

"Life Care of New Market was an absolute Godsend for us. My wife spent her last 6 weeks there. The care she received was incredible and was provided by even more incredible, kind, and caring staff. She was treated as if she was a relative. The entire medical staff is outstanding. They were constantly aware of my wife's condition, recommended treatments as soon as thy were needed, and kept me constantly updated. The facility is clean and modern. Her room was cleaned every day. Life Care provided physical, speech, and occupational therapy. I would highly recommend Life Care Center of New Market to anyone in need of their services."

"My husband and I will be moving to The Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community. We choose it because we have a daughter, a son-in-law and grandchildren in that area. I am also from that area so it feels like I am going back home. I like their set up because they go from individual cottages, to apartments, to assisted living and then nursing home. In other words, it is progressive. It goes to hospital stage. The staff is very nice. We are moving to a two-bedroom, two bath facility. There is a kitchen in the apartment, but I will not be cooking that much. It will be small but it will be sufficient. They have three dining rooms in different areas where we can eat. They have everything undercover so you don't have to walk out in the winter. They have a bank, a gift shop, a library and beauty parlor inside the buildings. The buildings are connected with covered walkways. "

"We chose English Meadows Harrisonburg Campus because it is all one level, and it is only three years old. It is definitely the newest of the places we toured. They have all-inclusive pricing, so all care levels are included. Christy, who I dealt with initially, was the admissions person, and she was great. She was helpful. She toured us around a couple of different times. The nurses who have been helping my grandmother have been great. My grandmother has been overall happy with the food, too. Everything looks brand new. They have nice common areas and a very nice dining room. They have activities almost every day. My grandmother will be doing arts and crafts today, and then they are going on a nature walk this afternoon. Those activities have really been beneficial for her, and she is able to walk around. She is getting a lot more exercise than she was when she was home. She loves their activities. All of the facilities are a high cost per month, but that is the nature of that type of assisted living, but for what you get at English Meadows versus some of the other places we toured, I think it's a great value for the money."

"My sister-in-law is now at Sunnyside Retirement Community. Primarily, it has just been a wonderful experience. All the levels of staff (the doctors, the nurses, the health aides, and the physical therapists) are very caring, very professional, and always very kind. My sister-in-law is in a single room with her own bathroom in there. She has a lovely window where she can look out and see trees, shrubs, and things like that. She has a nice bed, a reclining chair, and straight-back chairs, so there's room for people to come in and sit down and visit with her. There's plenty of room for her to move around in. It's very comfortable. They have a dining room area. If patients aren't feeling up to it, they bring it to the room. The dining room area is very friendly. She thinks the food is very good. They have a wonderful team and nutritionists on board. They have a wide variety of food. It's very tasty for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She is overall very pleased with the food. I'm very pleased with them. Every staff person that we either talk to or interact with has been very caring, very professional, and has reached out regularly. They have taken care of any needs that my sister-in-law certainly needs and are trying to be on top of everything for her best care. It's extremely clean and well-maintained. I find it comparable to any other place that I've been to, and it's expensive, but you get quality care, quality facilities, and quality medical care. "

"my mother lives there and she loves it. I am very pleased with how they take care of her they keep her room very clean and they give her regular showers as well the food is good as well. I have also noticed that her usage of depends has dropped dramatically,that tells me they are spending time with her using the toilet and the place doesn't smell bad like the hole she was in. great job staff thank you for taking care of mom."

"My sister is happy here. At first, we didn't have nowhere to put her, and they took her. She's happy there. They really take good care of her with her condition. She's dying of cancer, and they keep a close eye on her. She's a heavy smoker and that's the only one we found where she's allowed to smoke, and we didn't want to take that away from her with her dying. As long as she can get up and go to smoke. They're just all around good people. At certain nights of the week there's no med tech there, so if you're in severe pain and it's after 11:00, you have to deal with it. It's very clean. They get three proper meals a day and it's good quality food. You got to watch cholesterol and sugar and all that stuff, but they have healthy meals, too. They're allowed to go out and walk and do activities. They are allowed to go to the Elkton Community Center, and they do activities down there."

"I had a family member living at White birch communities for several years. What I liked most it is owned and operated by one family. There is always a family member ready to help out or answer questions. The staff is wonderful they all treat you with the greatest respect and always cheerful. I would highly recommend this facility. You will truly enjoy."

"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. "

"My mother is in Dutch Haven Assisted Living and I like it all. The layout is great, and it's broken up into little sections. The attendants, nurses, and aides are superior. The dining area is always clean and they serve the food according to the patients; they're great. They do activities like bingo, little art activities, planting activities, and they actually brought in a little bird aviary with finches in it so they can all enjoy it. It has been great. The staff is great and the residents all seemed to enjoy the food, and they fix it the way they can have it. It's an older community, and it's an older home that's converted, so it's very homey and comfortable. They have a lot of activities."
