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. "

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) Assistance: We provide hands-on help with personal care tasks that residents can no longer safely or effectively perform on their own, including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and ambulation (moving around). Medication Management Support: Under direction, we ensure residents take their medications accurately and on schedule, monitoring for any side effects or issues. Safety and Health Monitoring: We are the frontline observers, consistently monitoring residents' physical and mental status, reporting any significant changes (like signs of illness, falls, or emotional distress) to nursing staff or management. Promoting Independence: We encourage and allow residents to do as much for themselves as possible, promoting remaining skills and enhancing self-worth and independence.

"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 nice and they had different options for apartments. They provided 2 meals a day. Their amenities were nice, but they were very expensive. They had housekeeping that came in and a chef that came in. They also had transportation that would take you to the grocery stores or doctor's appointments. The staff there was very nice."

"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 moved my mother here. It is really, really nice with a lot of wooded area around it that won't be developed, so it's just a very pretty setting. The facility itself has recently been built, so I like the fact that the common areas were very wide open and there was access to a very pretty outside patio that was really good size. My mother loves to be outdoors, so that was very appealing. I really like the staff. They have been so far very good at communicating with me if I have questions, and just to keep you updated on my mother's progress there. And the price was right. I also like its proximity. Some of the other places I looked at were a little too far, and it would take me a long time to go back and forth, and that was definitely a factor. My mother's room is a studio, and I like it because it has lots of lights and it has a high ceiling. The bathroom is brand new. There's a very spacious walk-in. No step for the shower. It's very safe. I had lunch there and the food was good. The area where my mother has her meals is very inviting because it's very open and bright. She has a good appetite, so I think so far, she's enjoying the food. Everyone has been very responsive when I've called with questions, and or just called to ask about how she's doing. So the communication has been very good. Activities look great. It's on par with other places I looked at. I would say the other thing that was appealing about it is that it's very easy to know exactly what the cost per month will be because it's regardless of care level, and they also had a move-in special, which was appealing. It's very nice to have just one fee and just know that that's your fee as opposed to sort of trying to figure out what it might be based on care level and other factors. So that was appealing."

"We toured Hillside Senior Apartments. I liked the activities they had available, and the people who worked there were very nice. The staff was friendly and outgoing. The facility was spacious and well taken care of."
