Independent Living Communities in Winchester, VA

"I needed to keep Mom in Virginia and Hilltop would be close to home and close to work. It's over my budget, but when I did a tour there about a month ago, they looked like they cared and they spent a lot of time with me explaining everything I needed to know. I had a good tour of their memory care. The staff there was great. I had no issues with them. They have a lot of amenities. They've got everything there that's needed. They do medication management, laundry, incontinence management, and then occupational therapy. In the main building, there's a hair salon, if you want to do the extra thing."

"I like the fact that once you get into Westminster-Canterbury, Shenandoah Valley, you can move to whatever level of care you need. If five years from now, I'm not able to get around, I can move to assisted living. It's a very nice facility. It's a good, solid place. There's enough room for everybody. Even if you are in the independent living, they do your laundry and clean your apartment once a week. The building is made of high quality materials. It's well-built. They have gardens around where residents are welcomed to work. The staff was very positive. They answered all of my questions."

"I was at The Village At Orchard Ridge from 2016 to 2020. I've been there recently; I've had friends there. They had a really great exercise program and probably some of the best instructors I've seen. Now, of course, COVID hit and changed a lot of things, but I'm talking about prior things. Before that, they had a wonderful concierge, and the people were very informed. They had a gorgeous gift shop there. They had a beautiful pub and a dining area there. It's very, very beautiful there and peaceful. They have a lot of activities. They take people places on the busses. They put on plays, and they do all kinds of things there. They're very energetic. I didn't have any trouble with the staff. They always tried to be helpful. When I left there, the concierge, in particular, was wonderful. As far as the people in the office, they were always willing to help you. They were never negative. Their maintenance people in particular were good, and they knew what they were doing. The other thing that's particularly important, is they're very clean and very hygienic. They're very good about that. They have a therapy place for therapy, which is in a separate building, and they also have skilled care. I've been in a lot of places like that in my life, and that is probably the nicest place I've ever been in. It's a country setting; it's a beautiful setting."

"Trilogy at Lake Frederick is a great area. It's very picturesque. There are a lot of wineries and a lot of historical places to visit. It's about an hour and a half from Washington, D.C. There's a multitude of clubs here. We have athletic facilities, a full workout, an indoor and outdoor pool, a tennis court, pickleball, and that stuff. There is a restaurant that's not just exclusive to the seniors. It's open to the public, but there's a section of the clubhouse that is reserved for seniors. There are many activities, like happy hours, outdoor concerts, and things like that for residents. The only thing we get from the community is landscaping, lawn care, and trash. That's part of the HOA. The people here are very nice and very helpful. There's a lot of local people."
