The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Gloucester County, VA

"Our friends are residents of Patriots Colony at Williamsburg. They're very good. It's easy to travel around. It's well-lit. It's safe. It's gated. It's beautifully landscaped and they have nice amenities and so forth. I think it's great. The place is immaculate. The staff, when we drive by, they wave. We've never had any direct contact with staff, but our friends say that whenever they call for maintenance or anything, they're there within 24 hours. They do serve food, but we've never eaten with them, but our friends, they all go. They all go there and they say it's good. They serve wine at dinner and everything. The ones that we have visited have some rooms and then they have a den, a living room, and a dining room. They have two bedrooms, two beds, and a kitchen. It's a small kitchen, but the refrigerator, dishwasher, and trash compactor, it's well and nice. The woodwork and everything else are upgraded. It's top-end. They take them on trips. I've seen tennis courts. It was expensive for them to buy into that and for the square footage that they have. It's not small, but I just thought you didn't get that back."

"When my brother moved from CT in 2010 into a Windsor Meade Villa, it left my 97 yr.old mother alone in her CT home of 60+ years. We were fortunate enough to move her from there into an assisted living apartment at Windsor Meade. We found a caring and supportive staff and were able to personalize her apartment so that it felt like home. The public rooms were spacious and well decorated and offered views in all directions. There were just enough activities to keep her occupied and medical help and physical theraphy were readily available. The food was nicely prepared, although some portions were too large for her. Independent Living residents came and read to her and took her to activities. She was also able to go to the main dining room for Sunday Brunch with my brother and with my family when we visited. Her quality of life in her final 3 years was excellent. Our experience with my mother, and reports from my brother encouraged us to move into a Villa the minute we retired. This has been an excellent experience for us since 2018. "

"MAHOVA is a fabulous community for Masonic members. It's a quick drive to all the activities and arts and culture of Richmond, but in a quiet 90+ acre rural-feeling setting. The staff are really wonderful and committed to resident care."

"We are moving into Chester Village Senior. We chose it because they have two bedrooms and it's just a very clean complex. Everything is so close to it. It's nicely taken care of inside and out. The staff was very helpful and very nice. There's also an emergency thing in each apartment that you can pull if you have a problem. The garbage is included and wi-fi is available."

"We are all adjusted at Sanders Senior Living Community. My parents have been there since April, and we're very happy with it. It's an amazing facility. It's been fantastic. The staff has been amazing, and the administration has been amazing. The onsite physicians have been right there to take care of every need. My parents love the food. It's just a wonderful facility, and I would recommend it to anybody that needs a place for their parents for assisted living. They lost their main chef the first week my parents were there, and they're trying to get that back together. Most places you walk in and there's always a certain smell, but this place is clean, smells fresh, and just topnotch. I've seen the activity list for the month. They always have it posted and there's always something for them to do. Assisted living is expensive, so it would be great if it would be a little bit cheaper than what it was, but it is what it is."

"My sister has lived at this facility for 0ver 5 years, the entire place is clean and staff are very hospitable, I've visited several times unexpectant, and it was always the same. Exceptional individuals that I've had contact with were Claire in Residents support, and Francis, head of Nursing. I live in Florida so to trust someone 1000 miles away with the wellbeing of a family member speaks volumes. The rooms are large, the dining hall and food served gives a time for communication and nutrition which is so important. They also provide services outside of the facility like Walmart runs and they manage the transportation of all doctors including dentist visits. There is also a nice courtyard for the smokers to meet and visit with each other. I feel comfortable with the safety and security of the building there. Finally, if my sister has to be in an assisted care environment, this is the place I feel comfortable with."
