Independent Living Communities in Herndon, VA

"My Mother is a resident at the GB, I could not ask for a better caring place for her. When I leave there after visiting with her, I know she is in a good hand and she is very happy there. Great staff! Wonderful place! "

"I've been aware with The Virginian because it's on a route that I travel frequently. I like that it is in a good location. It had some outdoor area around it so that I could walk if I needed to or if I wanted to. I've been looking for some two-bedroom apartment and they have some nice two-bedroom apartment that appeal to me. "

"My mother has very limited vision, so she needed a small environment. She has a very spacious 1-bedroom at Chesterbrook Residences. She moved from a small home, so I was concerned about her ability to adjust to a smaller environment. The apartments are wonderful and she's very comfortable. Given her limited vision, it's really very appropriate for her. I was able to paint the color of our choosing and moved in all the furniture that she wanted. The food is fabulous. My mother raves about the food, especially the soup. It's a stable staff, there's not a lot of turnover, and they're very friendly and very caring. They have trips to the Kennedy Center, to restaurants, the local food market, and shopping trips. There's also movie nights, game nights, exercise classes, and they have people coming in playing the piano or a professional dancer who comes in once a month and dances with the residents. My mom is much happier. "

"I found the Paragon Assisted Living Potomac House Communities for my father. It's a group home. He moved in and he loves it -- the best place he's ever lived. This was perfect for him. The staff is great, my father feels very special there, it's very small, only eight residents, so it's very individualized. It's like they really care. He has the same, consistent people all the time. They have a chef who comes in every day and prepares the food. It's a brand-new facility, it's not even a year old. It's well-maintained. They clean the room every day. They have nice, big, open hallways. They have minimal activities, and they could probably do better for people who have the ability to do stuff. They're a great alternative to a bigger facility."

"Paramount Senior Living at Manassas was a nice place, with nice people, but it seemed to be more assisted living than independent living. We looked at a one-bedroom, but it was very small, it only had a kitchenette, and all the meals were in the dining room. It was not the right fit for my parents. The residents were up and about, but there seemed to be a lot more folks that were not as independent in their activity level. They were getting ready to renovate some of the spaces with new furniture. I met an aide in the front office and the director took me for my tour; they were wonderful people. The facility was very clean, the common areas were very large, but the room itself was way too small for what we were looking for."

"It was a very nice facility. It was open and bright. All the people I saw interacting with the tour guide that I had seemed really happy there. The tour guide seemed to know all their likes and dislikes, and it was all very personal. The apartments seemed nice and adequate. I was very impressed by it."

"Kentlands Manor was very nice. The staff member who assisted me with the tour was very pleasant. They had a pool and meeting rooms. They had activities for their residents. They had food and snack times all the time. It was a lively place."

"The people at The Carnegie at Washingtonian Center were great. The place is great. It's just very expensive. The apartment size is average. It's very nice, clean, neat, and organized. The dining hall is very nice. The parking situation is excellent. They have a pool. Thirty meals are included with the monthly fee."

"Victory Court Senior Apartments was very nice. It's in an ideal location too, so if you want to catch a bus, you can catch one as there are no schools around. The nearest school was like a block or more away and it's a high school. So, that is very good. The apartment and everything about it were nice. It's a place that I would have liked to have stayed."

"I visited the independent living community of Hillside Senior Apartments. I like the cleanliness of it. I thought it was a very clean place. I like the people who work there because they are very helpful. It was also in a nice area, and I like that."

"Chevy Chase House was quite nice. Everything was good and I was well taken care of during my tour. The staff was very good and very helpful. The apartments were fine. Everybody was very friendly."

"I toured Capitol Ridge Gracious Retirement Living. I would consider that. It's a very nice community and very nice staff. I only wanted to see one bedroom, and that's what they showed me. I've seen their library. I've seen their craft room and the small workout room."
