Independent Living Communities in Herndon, VA

"Greenbrier Assisted Living was a single-family home that has been fitted for senior living, and it was very clean and very nice on the inside. The woman that I spoke to was also very nice. They've got 6 or 8 rooms and they all looked well taken care of. They had a nice sunroom area with a TV and a patio area with a grill."

"The Virginian was very nice, but we thought it was a little expensive. It's a beautiful facility. They had great facilities, too. They're just really wonderful. However, we were not happy with the floor plans we looked at. They had a small kitchen area, but we need a little bit more kitchen space than that. They don't have cottages; they're just apartments. The activities were great. They had a beautiful range of activities. The staff was very nice and very accommodating. We enjoyed our visit there, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It's a couple of thousand a month more than most of the places we looked at. I would love to be there. However, it's a little far away from where we wanted to be. It's half an hour from the doctors, which is not good."

"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!"

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 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."

"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."

"Kentlands Manor is a great place, but it's beyond my price level. The community was gorgeous. The people were very nice and friendly. The property was gorgeous. The apartment was very nice. The only thing I didn't like was the price. I would recommend it to anybody who can afford it. The staff members were excellent. The building was very clean, inside and out. The layout was good. It was very adequate."

"I went to Victory Court Senior Apartments. It was very nice. The woman there was very pleasant. It was a nice visit. The general appearance is very clean and very quiet. Everything was just very spotless. I had a chance to meet one or two of the residents. They looked very content, as to be expected, slightly bored, but it was nice. The ladies in the office were very friendly and very informative. Most of the units have a kitchen, whether it's a small kitchen or a larger kitchen for the two-or three-bedrooms. They have a common area where they have get-togethers. The rooms are very simple. There are small islands in the kitchens. For the most part, very clean, very modern facilities. When you get to the two- and three-bedroom units, I think you can request that they have a washer and dryer. The amenities are really nice. Everything is very convenient. "

"We toured it. It was lovely. I wish I could live there. It was so beautiful. I thought the facility was great. They did have a special at that time for how much it would cost, which was also great. We learned that with the level of care that they have, they do not put railings on the bed. My father-in-law must have railings on the bed because he cannot move or walk, but he could fall out of bed. The staff was lovely and informative. The structure and cleanliness were excellent. It's only less than five years old. The layout was very nice for someone who can take care of themselves, but if they needed more assistance, the doors seemed to be kind of far away from someone in a bed calling for help, but I'm sure that they've had other measurements, but we just didn't go into it."

"Hillside Senior Apartments is very neat, but the rooms are very small. It can only fit like a full bed. I don't think it can even fit a queen-size bed. I saw a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom, and it has the same floor plan. The two-bedroom is smaller due to its size. The room sizes are smaller. Even the living room of the two-bedroom is smaller than the one-bedroom because the second bedroom had to take up space. Otherwise, it was OK. The place was nice, clean, and quiet, which I like. It seemed like everybody was in their apartments, or maybe it's the time of the day that I went there. I went there at midday. The common room was very nice and clean. The staff was very welcoming, kind, and nice. They have a kitchen where, if you decide to make food for your guests, you can host them there and cook for them in that living area instead of taking them to your own apartment. They took us to the laundry room."
