Independent Living Communities in Sterling, VA

"Kentlands Manor was a great place, very nice, and very brightly lit. There's a lot of activities. It's a very beautiful place. It had balconies for everybody and you could just sit out there and read. It's very convenient. There's a small town around there and a small shopping center. It is very pleasant. It has very nice surroundings. It's a small village living. It's a very nice neighborhood, well kept, and very clean. Inside the building, there's a lot of space to move around. Each floor had a library. There were windows, so there was a lot of sun that came in. The staff was very friendly. There weren't too many people there because it was more like the middle of the day, but the people were friendly and nodded their heads. Some didn't respond. Other than that, it seemed like a very pleasant place. A couple blocks down, there are restaurants and everything like that. You do your own cooking in your own apartment, and you could do DoorDash or whatever. As far as any prepared meals, they had none. The dining area was small. I just heard that most people probably ate in their apartments more than anything else. The staff gave me a schedule of activities. They had something every day there. The best part about it is they had the gym three times a week. They had shopping trips. They went to the casino once a month. They had craft projects there. Every day, there was something to do. They had activity rooms, they showed movies either once or twice a month, and they had a game room. Each floor had a space where you could sit and read. They had tables set up for games. There's a parking space for you there. It's very clean. Everything seemed to be in place. Nothing was just lying around or thrown around or whatever. It's very decorative. The lobby was very pretty when you came in, even the hallways were clean, and you didn't find trash, even in the little activity rooms they had on each floor. It was always clean, maintained, and very nice."

"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 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."

"I believe that the experience was a positive one as they never bothered me when I would visit my father. The staff was kind of ho-hum and appeared to be going through the motions, not necessarily personable but their to their do jobs effectively. It may just be a sign of Northern Virginia as that tends to be most of our attitudes. I felt the facilities were adequate and well kept. There were a number of paths you could take to stroll around and the landscaping was nicely done. There were a number of activities set up for the seniors to enjoy and it seemed like more of a place for someone to go while they needed help living rather than a hospice situation where you expected the patient to die. All in all, I think they are more equipped to help the healthy that need assistance rather than people in dire straits. "

"I just moved into Hillside Senior Apartments. I pay $1160 a month. That's for independent living. All utilities are included. It's a nice place. It used to be a hotel at one time. The only thing I disagree with is they need more maintenance men. They only have one maintenance man here. The resident manager and the receptionist are good at trying to help everybody get situated, but they only have one guy who takes care of everything. The people in the office are trying to help and they try their best. Sometimes on holidays, they have things going on and they supply food for those things. They do activities sometimes maybe four or five times out of the month. They've got bingo, cookouts, dancing classes, and yoga classes. They have a gym room."

"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. "

"Chesterbrook Residences is a fairly new place, so everything is very nice. The apartment has living room, little kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom. They have different activities every day like chair exercises, bingos, and every night they have movies. They do take them to grocery store, doctor's appointments, go on a trip and see the autumn leaves. Everybody's very friendly. They learn new resident's name very quickly and they always call them by name. They have nursing staff 24 hours a day. Recently, she twisted her ankle and they have physical therapy on site. It's been very good. "

"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."

"It's beautiful, and the staff's friendliness are the things that I liked about The Fairmont. It's independent living, so they don’t really provide assisted care; that is why it didn’t fit our needs. "

"Modena Reserve at Kensington was very nice. It was located close to restaurants, but it was just a very expensive place. The staff was very nice, and it was nice of them to refer me to something in the price range that my brother needed to be. She didn't try to push me away, she just tried to accommodate me even though she knew it was way over what we could afford."

"I had the most incredible tour of Chevy Chase House when looking at senior living options for a family friend. Mary the Sales Director gave me a tour of the building including a studio and 1-bedroom unit (beautiful big windows, great light, modern renovation), the gym and the great room. She also insisted I order from the lunch menu and meet the Chef. As a vegetarian, I was delighted to see a veggie burger on the menu and noticed the food choices appealed to a broad range of dietary preferences. At the end of my tour, Mary handed me the lunch I ordered (covid prevented me from dining onsite) that was packed in an insulated to-go lunch box, along with a side salad, a piece of cake and a water bottle. Honestly, I was ready to move in there myself. There is a Starbucks 1 block away and the gorgeous upper Northwest DC setting makes you feel like you're still part of the DC action while giving residents the services and amenities they may need. This is a no-brainer choice."
