The Best Memory Care Communities in Albemarle County, VA

"Trinity Mission Health and Rehab was clean. I would not have let my wife go back the second time if it wasn't clean the first time. The food wasn't a problem. As far as therapy, she wasn't able to take therapy while she was still on IVs. I don't have any problem with them or I wouldn't have gone back. I went with the administrator one time, and I talked directly to him. He even put me up in a motel for 5 nights. Trinity is the only one I still trust and I have no one else to recommend besides them. "

"We went through the transition from living at home to Memory Care about twelve months ago. Throughout the difficult decision/transition period and then during the residential time, we have experienced universal caring and concern on the part of the staff. They have been there for every need and request, and they have all gone out of their way to make my resident feel comfortable, safe, and as happy as possible. The facilities are clean and comfortable and one couldn't ask for more from the kitchen. At the end of the day, however, it is the staff that makes Linden House the outstanding facility it is. They have welcomed me as the caregiver and responded to my every concern with respect and responsiveness. But most importantly, they have taken my resident into their hearts and made her part of their family. It is difficult at best to more your loved one to residential memory care, but I, for one, take solace in the fact that she is receiving better care than I could ever offer. And I have been there and done that for seven years before we made the decision to go to Linden House."

"My in-person visit to Morningside of Charlottesville was very nice and informative. I liked everything that I saw. They included pretty much everything I was looking for. The personnel were all very nice, friendly, and cooperative. Overall, I would rate it a very good tour simply because it's one of the two places that I am seriously considering at the moment in terms of accommodation, finances, and everything else that I have to offer. The apartments were very nice. They had ample room. They were good-sized apartments and very nice as far as the floor plan."

"My mother-in-law chose The Blake at Charlottesville because she liked it best and it was very close to her church where she goes. They also offer a church there and a beauty shop. So, everything she needs is right there. She likes the food and she's eating very well. We had lunch there with her once and that was very good. The staff is all very personable and very friendly. The atmosphere is very open and bright. The place looks clean and very nice. They have tons of activities such as bingo, card games, movie nights, walking, exercise classes every day or every other day, and outings three times a week (if you want to go anywhere, you can take the shuttle bus). The director, the charge nurse, and all have been great. It's a good value for the money."

"We had a very excellent tour of Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge. I'm impressed with the place. Some of the rooms were nice, some of them were vacated, and some were rehabbed, getting ready for their next resident. We've put a deposit down, and as far being on the waiting list, they're giving us vouchers for several dinners and lunches there, but I have not eaten there yet. They have a pool, a gym, a nice library, walking paths, community rooms, gaming rooms, a nice cafeteria, and a pub."

"I liked English Meadows Crozet Campus. I liked the location and everything they had to offer. It was more inclusive than some of the other places that I visited. It's kind of one size fits all. There were no add-on charges for various levels of assisted living or any other area of charges. It's all-inclusive, which is good. I thought the facility was very nice. I am seriously considering the place but the only reason I haven't made it the place I want to go to is because all their apartments are studio apartments which are nice and spacious, but it's just that I've never lived in one before. So, I have to get used to that concept. Typically I would be more interested in a one-bedroom facility, which is what I saw in all the other places. English Meadows Crozet Campus only had studios although it's got various sizes and layouts."

"I really liked the staff at The Harbor at Renaissance. I particularly liked their interaction with the residents. They have a lot of staff on board all day long, and their interactions with the residents were wonderful to see, and that was why I picked them. The care that he would get from the staff people was the most important consideration for me. They have a wonderful activities program for the residents. They actually have a little men's club. They've found that the men are probably, or seemed to be, more interested in some things versus the women. So they have a specific activity-based program just for men. And I thought that was interesting. They have a resident dog, which I like. I just really like the place. It was very comfortable, it was far and away the best place I visited, with all the considerations I have in mind."

"My parents really liked The Retreat at Fishersville. They liked that it was small and the people were very friendly. It was a very beautiful, calm setting. Everything was very pretty about it, but it was a little hard for my mom to get around. It was spread out a lot, so we had to get her in a wheelchair and take her around. Other than that, it was very pretty. The rooms they showed us were wonderful. They were very up-to-date. Thy didn't look dated at all. They had plenty of space. The staff was very knowledgeable and very helpful to me. They had plenty of activities. They had a calendar of events and it looked like the menu was very well thought out. It's very convenient to our local hospital in case of emergency."

"I toured Birch Ridge. I like that it's small. I like the grounds. The man couldn't have been nicer to answer my questions. I've had a good experience. The facility was very clean. It probably needs to be modernized and updated. It has the feel of being old, but it was clean. The rooms are nice, but their common area, the furniture, it's old."
