Assisted Living Communities in Yorktown, VA

"I think Spring Arbor is the best one. As far as the look, it was very clean, very nice to look at, and well-kept. It looked like a well-maintained place. The way they took care of things, their technology involved with care, and how they had that set up, I thought it was good as well. That's why I picked them."

"My friend has moved into Commonwealth Senior Living at Williamsburg. We were very pleased with them. They were very courteous and kind. The facility is excellent. It is well-maintained and well-staffed. My friend has a private room there that is very nice. It has all the memory care facilities necessary for her. They have shared rooms, too. They have an outside garden area. They have different activities that would inspire each individual person. There are activities for painting and drawing. There are games, puzzles, and group activities as well. For their individual rooms, they have memory boxes by their door to assist them in finding their own personal rooms. Of course, they have 24-7 care. You can be there and visit within that 24-7. They have lots of different activities for the people there. In terms of the monthly fee, it's comparable to everyone else."

"Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg was very nice. If I ever go into a senior place, that would probably be the one that I would pick. It's not so confining. It had a front door and a back door that leads to a little patio. It didn't feel like an apartment. It felt more like home. They provide just about everything to their residents. They provide transportation to your doctor's office or if you want to go shopping, they serve two meals a day, and have different activities like arts and crafts, wine tastings, and stuff like that. The staff was great. They wanted to be sure that I understood everything. They have called me and invited me to picnics, to view the functions that they have, to dinners, and lunches. They went above and beyond. It's peaceful and gorgeous out there. They have trees around whereas a lot of the other facilities don't have."

"I toured Edgeworth Park at New Town. It was a very, very nice place. They seemed to have a very secure check-in procedure there. The rooms were nice. The lady who took us on the tour was great. We saw their exercise room. Of course, we saw the dining room, and it looked very nice. It sounds like they are very responsive to people's dietary needs. An example that they used is that, if they have someone who is having a problem eating, they would work with them to come up with some things that he/she would be able to eat."

"Commonwealth Senior Living is very nice. There seemed to be a lot of activities. The rooms are normal with a small kitchen area. The staff treated me very well. I was invited for lunch, and the food was very tasty and well-presented."

"Harmony at Harbour View was topnotch. They were really good. They followed up. The price was high, but it was reasonable compared to other places. The building was gorgeous. The layout was good. I loved the floor plan, and the staff Vivienne was good. They provide three meals a day, too."

"My mom is at Karolwood Gardens Norfolk. However, my mother is in rehab again and we'll be there for quite some time before she's able to go back to Karolwood. She has not been there enough to be able to enjoy living there yet, which is a real shame. They have meals. When she was not well enough to go to the dining room, they brought her her meals. They do laundry service. They have activities for the residents. It's a nice facility. The staff there are very friendly. They seem to genuinely care about the residents. I knew they were hiring some more staff, which is always helpful to have more. In terms of cleanliness, it is very clean. In general, it's in good condition. I think it is a great place. I've had no reason to believe it's not. I've not eaten there, I haven't been there on a regular basis, and I live 750 miles away. But I would not have let my mother live there and be this far away if I didn't think that she would be well taken care of and safe."

"We will be moving into Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall. It's immaculate and pleasant. It's a warm feeling when you go in there. The staff is caring and very attentive to people's needs and what they offer and maintaining at least their level in memory care. They do fresh seafood. They have a market that they work with that grows their own stuff. Everybody was so nice and accommodating. It's a nice atmosphere there. They have an outdoor place with a gazebo, but there's no access to going all the way out. It's enclosed, but it's outdoors. The rooms are nice. The smell is wonderful. A lady took us on the tour, but other people who worked there came and interacted with us. They were so accommodating and welcoming. We haven't had any of the meals, but looking at the menu and considering that they get catch-of-the day seafood and farm-grown stuff, it sounds really good. They have all kinds of activities that they do to engage people with a diagnosis of dementia. It was amazing to me because I kind of went online and looked at other places and they were OK or acceptable, but here it's top-rated. I was very surprised to be able to have my first visit to such a great place."

"The service at Indian River Residential Care Community is wonderful because this is a facility that all the people there are all in auxiliary grant, which mean that they are not a rich facility and I don't know if they have patients with private pay. There are a lot of things that they do not have. But for people like my son who cannot go even for one month on a private pay and can no longer live on his own, I thank God there is a facility like this. There is no choice menu, but that's alright. These people are happy that somebody is cooking for them. If they don't like what the dinner is, they can always have a sandwich. They don't have a lot of activities and that's very disappointing because I think old people need activities. But for activities, you need money. These are not well read people, so I think a library will be wasted. However, if a van can take them to a dollar store or Walmart once every other week, that will be wonderful. They will have something to look forward to, but they don't have that. There are some downfalls and yet for people who have nowhere else to go, thank God the place is there. I will rate the manager of that facility absolutely the highest mark plus double it. She is a wonder on this earth and all the people in that facilityand these are her words are her children. She is a wonderful human being. She is very good. She does what she has to do. She has taken a person out of there because he is a danger to others. She gives him a number of chances but it comes to a point that she can't keep him there any longer. Nothing is perfect and I am not saying that this place is perfect. Not all people are as nice or understanding or as kind as she. But ultimately she is in charge and she listen when you talk to her. She asks how we are doing and is everything is okay. She speaks with us and gives us a beautiful greeting when we come in. She runs the place beautifully. It is the love of her life and it shows. The people who are there are on auxiliary grant and these are the people who are not well-off at all. They haven't any abundance of anything in life and some of them like my son are mentally ill and other problems. So, they can't go out and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year so they can go to a private pay. This is a special place for special people. If somebody doesn't have enough money and can get an auxiliary, there is not that many places around to choose from. "

"I was pleased with the level of care for my friend. Everything was always clean and staff was polite and caring."

"Warwick Forest is the best one we liked. It's a large facility and affiliated with a hospital health system, it's very well-funded, and it has life care, independent living, assisted living, dementia units, full nursing homes, and a rehab facility. The maintenance is wonderful, and the rooms are very nice. We have a 1350 square foot apartment, and the food is good. It's not gourmet, but it's good food. It's like a restaurant-type system, and the restaurant is open from 8:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening. You can eat any and as many meals as you want there. You have an allocation that's approximately $10 a day as a part of your rent, and $10 goes a long way here because for example, you can get a buffet breakfast for $5 which is all you can eat, and you can get a $7.50 buffet dinner which includes everything from dessert, to entrees, to vegetables and all kinds of stuff. "

"I really like The Hamilton at The York. They have very nice rooms. I like the size of the rooms. I also like the fact that they have the availability because it is still new. We are going back to see the place, and I'm taking my parents with me. The staff is very friendly and very nice. I saw the residents doing some exercise in their chairs and that's all about what I saw. There's not very many people there."

"Mennowood is very warm and very homey. There are lovely woods on the property. It's gracious, lovely, and clean but not sterile, and there's lots of sunlight. My sister's friend's mother lives there and is very happy. They provide three meals a day for assisted living and memory care. For independent, it's one meal a day. The price is reasonable. An advantage they have is that they don't take Medicare or Medicaid. It is private pay, but if you run out of funds, they will not dismiss you. They have their own endowment. I absolutely recommend them. However, their activities are much quieter, like Scrabble, bingo, and knitting, which are things my mother has no interest in at all. My mother is a more active person even if she is not very strong."
