"My 86 year old mother was at Chesterbrook Residences for 9 month before she died peacefully in her sleep from heart problems. She loved Chesterbrook Residences, her apartment, the people there who became her friends and the many diverse activities. I am so glad we found Chesterbrook Residences and we are only sorry we had not found it sooner!"

"My mother moved to Cogir of West End Alexandria's memory care. It's a very beautiful community. The attendance of the nurses is very helpful, and the support staff is very supportive. The director is very welcoming and very friendly. The buck stops with him. He takes action immediately if you need something. I haven't had a complaint, but in my experience of trying to get what my mother needed, I can see that he's very receptive and quick to implement what it was that she needed. The staff he gave me to deal with was also very receptive and very professional. I'm very pleased with them. My mother's room is good. I've seen the food and the menu, and they look very healthy. They have activity after activity. Every hour, they're changing and doing something with the people. They take field trips, art sessions, and music sessions. They do let the residents watch TV, but it's not a situation where they're sitting in front of the TV all day. When they watch TV, it's usually a movie in the evening. They don't have the time to watch TV during the day because they're moving them around to different activities."

"I have been living here at The Jefferson for two and a half years now. What I like the most is the level of activities here: Go to an advanced exercise class at 10:00 a.m., go to yoga at 11:15., go to 'bring me' games at 1:00, and go to politics and issues discussion at 2:30. If it's a Monday, it's the women's cocktail party and if it's Wednesday, it's the men's cocktail party. There's live entertainment multiple times during the week of supremely good quality. There are visits to the National Gallery with art docents. There's going to the opera and going to Kennedy Center for performances. The activity is constant, and it offers everything. Therefore, there's a very high level of physical, intellectual, and cultural stimulation. The only drawback is that it's two older towers, they're over 30 years old and have become very expensive. The staff is superb. They're like family. And the food is quite good. We have a wonderful chef. It's good food; it's healthy food. Regarding facilities, they just did a lot of updating on the main floor where our living room is and where our performance areas are. They have updated the pool area and the gym. So over the last year, they have done quite a bit of updating. It's also conveniently located. If you're mobile, you can walk to whatever you need. There's an abundance of restaurants and you have supermarkets within walking distance, but they also take you once a week to all of these."

"The Fairmont by Barclay House is all independent living; they don't have assisted living there, but I guess they have nursing staff available. I like that it is a nice size, and I would rate it high on cleanliness because it was very nice. They are renovating all the rooms, but they're only doing a phase at a time, so there is plenty to look at that is not being renovated. I saw both an older room and a newer room. The person who gave the tour was the overall regional manager because they were training a new manager, and she was very nice and interactive."

"Paramount Senior Living at Manassas is a two-story, but the memory care is in one place. It has its own dining and its own craft room and so forth. You can go there and take your loved one out for a walk. They have a perimeter walking path that people can go on. I didn't notice that there was fencing or anything, but the memory care section is locked, so no one could go out of that but I could take my husband out and walk with him. He couldn't just go out on his own and walk. They have their own staff, their own food, their own dining, their own craft and art place, entertainment, and things like that. They provide furniture which the other places don't. The rooms are well-appointed. The beds, the dresser, and the closet are all neat and nice. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed very caring."

"We toured The Fairfax, and my aunt used to live there. We saw the rooms and the units and everything. We walked around there, and we ate there. So, it meets all of our criteria except for the cost. The staff all appeared to be busy and helpful, like you would expect. We had a good tour. They have different types of displays there. They had a display for when they would do a buffet, like in the hallway, where you could nibble on. So, they had good food that looked good. The location was good. The one my aunt had was a two-bedroom with a part in the middle and then a bedroom on either side. They always take care of their rooms whenever we've been in them."

"Everyone at The Ridge at Sterling was especially friendly. They let us have lunch on our tour and the food was wonderful. The facility is going through a renovation. They've made really good choices with the materials they've chosen. Its flooring is good for walkers and wheelchairs. The coloring is nice, light, and friendly in appearance. The design of the building is nice and spacious. The rooms are big with nice windows. The dining area was a lot like a restaurant. It was nicely decorated for Christmas. Everyone was positive like the staff interacting with the residents. It was a very positive environment. Everything seemed nice."

"We visited Cogir of Old Town, Alexandria, and toured for assisted living. The tour was fine, and it was a nice building. The lady was very nice and told us everything that we needed to know. It was right there on the corner, and once we got inside, it was very nice. It had a very nice appearance and interior, and it was well laid out. They showed us the layout and what they do there. I kinda like it a little bit because, in their system, they had a gentleman who was the coordinator of the activities. He showed us all the games, and that's one of the things that I like about it. They played checkers, and they had puzzles and stuff like that, so there were a lot of things to do. They had everything that you needed, like a salon, where you could do your nails and hair. They had a nice place where you could walk. They also showed us the outside patio, and it was very nice. The person who gave us the tour was at the door when we came in, and asked us if we wanted refreshments or if there was anything we wanted before she started her tour. After the tour was over, she asked if there were any questions that we needed her to answer, and she answered them. We didn't eat, but they showed us the dining area, which is very clean and very well-kept."
