Memory Care Communities in Hampton, VA

"Clean environment, professionally structured around the clock care. Warm and welcoming staff. Therapeutic activities with spa notions. I think this place does not show what it has. Life stations are beautifully designed. Everything is designed for the best interest of the residents. Very nice!"

"It was a little better. It was nice in practically every respect. The rooms were good. The staff was very good and professional. "

"1st problem is you don't a straight answer to anything. Promises are made and not followed through. I was talked to terrible and left crying. Nothing about this place is good to me. I was asked to do a review, and they stopped it from being posted. Would not recommend this place. "

"We went to The Waterford at Virginia Beach. The staff during the tour was very pleasant, and very knowledgeable, and took her time to give us all the information that we needed and also the answers to all of our questions. The dining area seemed almost like a restaurant-style setup, which I found very pleasing. They could've done better with the upkeep in certain areas. I noticed there were spiderwebs. They could do better with the housekeeping."

"Excellent care... staff is professional and very caring. You will have peace of mind knowing that your loved one is getting the best care. The resident homes are beautiful and well maintained. I am blessed to have found Ms. Ravenall and her staff to care for my father."

"My father has been a resident for 4.5 years. He is blind, almost deaf and his mind is slipping. As his condition has declined, he has needed additional care. He is now at the highest level of care in the memory unit. I visit him every day and have the resources to place him in any facility. I have never once, considered moving him to another facility. All facilities have rooms, walls, heat and air-conditioning. What keeps my father here is the quality of the staff and the attention that he receives. I have a white board in his room so that the staff can let me know, without tracking anyone down, his daily condition, did he eat, how much, what is his mood is, any other issues I need to know about. They do this EVERYDAY. I cannot more highly recommend this facility."

"My mom moved into Bickford of Chesapeake in November. The facility is beautiful and brand new. It just opened in May, but it feels like home when you're inside. It doesn't feel institutional at all. They have big fireplaces and sofas in the seating areas. The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. My mom has a large studio room that's nice and bright. It doesn't have a kitchenette. It's just a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. She has a dresser, a nightstand, a sofa with a small coffee table, and a bed, and there's still plenty of room. Three meals a day are included, and they have regular doctor visits. They have a hair salon inside. They do different fun activities all the time, like movies, popcorn, and games. What I was impressed with is that they have different stations set up throughout the facility to trigger memories. So, one is set up to look like an office, another is set up to look like a laundry area with an ironing board. They're very nicely done. I've been there to visit her when she's having her meals and everything looks good. It's farm-to-table as much as possible. They use fresh ingredients, they don't use processed foods."

"We did some research, and we decided to move mom to here because it has a pretty good reputation and good service. The staff is very good. The food is pretty good; they have a variety every day. I can't tell much because when my mom moved in there, it's around Covid pandemic. I don't have a lot of access to the facility during that time and even now, but it's very clean and very good."

"It is new and more affordable than the last place we went to. It's a great place with a lot of activities. Everything is well kept and well maintained. Dad's room is very nice, and laundry is included in the price."

"Mother passed while at Arden Court within a week after she had a terminal diagnosis. The staff couldn't have been more loving and caring with her from her arrival to Arden Court and through the week that she passed. They were loving, kind, and nurturing to her always. I cannot thank you enough for making it a happy home for her. I tell everyone about how wonderful and dedicated you all are to your house guests!"

"Spring Arbor of Williamsburg was very clean and very accommodating. The staff were very nice. My mother-in-law stayed there off and on. It was like a respite program. They welcomed her back whenever she returned after being out for a while. They remembered her. I liked that place. There didn't seem to be as much of a turnover there as much as at the other place. My mother-in-law was very happy with the activities and the food and everything else. She never complained about any of it. They painted and colored, and they had puzzles. It's a beautiful place. As far as the respite, the value for money was great. The only thing that I would have found missing was places to walk. That would be the only downside to them. "

"I visited Commonwealth Senior Living at Williamsburg and toured for assisted living. The place was clean and up to standard. The staff members who accommodated me during the tour were great. They were helpful and informative. Everything looked good. The residents were watching TV and playing bingo."

"My dad moved into Edgeworth Park at New Town. It's been great. The nurses are abundant. I can't walk out of his door and walk down the hall without seeing one, or two of them. They check on him very regularly. They spend time with him. They prod a little bit deeper to make sure that he is having a good day. The community is much smaller. In terms of the whole community, 88 total residents are their cap as opposed to a much bigger place that has thousands of people at different levels of care. So he seems to get a much better level of care there. His apartment is bigger and brighter. The whole facility is very bright and has a lot of sunlight coming in, which is nice. They have a beautiful courtyard area. It's huge. It has a little walking path which he can take his wheelchair around. It has bird feeders, it has flowers, and they let the residents plant stuff if they want. They have little gardens, or herb gardens, or whatever they want to plant, and lots of birds, which he loves. When he goes outside, he's looking into a beautiful courtyard that's very well manicured, and has lots of places to sit, instead of what he was looking at, which was if he went outside to get some air, he was looking at a parking lot. They have a library, they offer all kinds of things during the day, different programs. They have get-togethers every 3:30 pm, just come and chat, and have some time before dinner. They do family nights, I experienced that the other night, and that was just amazing. They put on a great, big buffet. They had nice food, pies, and all kinds of desserts. And they played games afterward, and we can participate. It's clean, it smells nice, and I've never seen any messes left on any of the tables. Everybody's right on top of it. And I see at least four cleaning carts. They have cleaning cards for each one of the wings. So it just seems like they're always out making sure that everything is tidy and kept, and trash is gone. I think the cost is commensurate with the amount of attention and care that he's getting, the facility itself, the food, and the number of activities. I think that it's all commensurate with the amount that we're paying."
