Memory Care Communities in Harrisonburg, VA

"I like Brightview Baldwin Park because all the rooms were single. A lot of the other ones were more expensive, and they weren't single, and they didn't even have a divider between the beds, so it wasn't like you got your own room. Brightview's rooms were more like little apartments where it was their own bedrooms and their own bathrooms, so I like that a bit better. Also, they were good at calling back and answering the questions. The staff who showed me around was very friendly. She knew all the patients' names. I knew someone that lived there. She lived in an independent living apartment, and she had a small refrigerator, a stove, and a microwave in the apartment."

"The Legacy at North Augusta was wonderful. I saw a one-bedroom apartment. The common areas were very nice. They had a library, an activities room, a beauty shop, and a beautiful dining room. I had a sample meal, and it was very lovely. We were there on a tour and to visit with a friend's father. I didn't see an exercise room, and I don't know about their planned activities. I only interacted with a couple of people there, and they were very nice. The one thing about this place is that it is multiple floors, and I don't know all the things they offer like laundry; however, I understand that you can have pets there, too."

"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."

"When I was at The Retreat at Fishersville, I asked what if our money runs out and what if our long-term care insurance runs out. Do they accept Medicaid? They do not. The person who did the tour was excellent, answered all kinds of questions, and was very knowledgeable. I appreciated the tour. They were very nice. I would be very comfortable there. The rooms were sufficient for the stage that I would be in if I were going there. All of the rooms I visited had kitchenettes. They had places where you could go outside and it was an attractive place. They said I could make an appointment to come back for a meal. There were facilities where they had activities. They had a place where they could go to see movies. They had a little commissary where they could go to get snacks and just have coffee together. They had an exercise room, and they go on field trips."

"My father is at The Harbor at Renaissance. They refer to the whole complex normally as The Renaissance, but there are three levels of care. Renaissance is the assisted living, Harbor is the memory care, and Grace is the nursing, but it's all under one entity. The general appearance is very welcoming. The layout is pretty accommodating for the residents. One of the main factors that attracted me to this place after looking at about seven different places was the staff and the outpouring of assistance to me for all the necessary forms and procedures one must follow when transporting a parent from out of state. They were extremely helpful and guided me along the way. He's not happy about the food and said it's always cold, but the dining area looked fine. It's a big room with tables and chairs. They have a full schedule for the entire week for the residents like outings, therapy, exercise, and religious times. It was a very clean facility."

"This was the only facility my MIL could afford since she’s on social security and we are so thankful. The staff cares and is exceptionally kind and helpful in all matters. You are definitely not getting a room at the Ritz after all the facility accepts SSI. But Mountainside is great and for the first time in a long time my MIL is doing well. She has friends and isn’t just sitting in a room staring at a wall. "
