The Best Memory Care Communities in Henrico County, VA

"Sancerre Atlee Station is brand new. It's within three miles from our daughter's home and also about three miles from a local medical facility hospital in the area. We liked the apartments that were available. We liked the size, what they looked like, and all that. The staff was very informative and answered our questions. The facility was very clean."

"Bickford of Chesterfield was very nice. This place was our second choice if we didn't have room in the facility my mother got into. It was a pretty new facility. We only met with the person giving the tour, and she was very nice."

"My mother and I moved to The Harmony Collection at Hanover's independent living section. We chose it because of its appealing community atmosphere and the fact that it is a continuing care, so should we need anything that offers more assistance, we could move right into it because we're already a part of the community. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. We also have good neighbors. The food is very good, too. We have different types of activities. We have things that include leaving the community to go outside to do different activities, as well as things where they bring people in for different types of entertainment and classes and things like that."

"I'm currently doing respite care at Harmony at Hanover. My experience here has been a very positive one. The staff has been very accommodating and very attentive to individual needs. Overall, the facility is very welcoming, as well. It's clean, the apartments are certainly spacious, and it has met my needs. I think it's a very good facility."

"Morningside of Bellgrade was very impressive. The rooms were not quite as large, but they seemed good. The common areas were very large and very nice. I saw that they had an arts and crafts room and a lot of activities that residents could engage in. They had a garden where people could do gardening, a chair aerobic exercise class, and crafts to make small things for the people in the hospital. The staff seemed great. I didn't eat anything, although their menu did seem more limited than the others that I visited."

"Excellent care for dementia patient. Caring and attentive. "

"The staff at The Crossroads at Bon Air was very professional and very informative. The facility was very nice. The size of the area was sufficient."

"My mother moved into Heritage Green of Hanover, and it looked like a very neat place. They seem to be well organized, and they seem to be well staffed. The staff seems to be very caring and observant to the conditions of their clients. I have not tried the food, but what I have seen is that they serve to the clients what seems to be very sufficient and nutritious. They actually have some entertainment like sing-alongs. They seem to be able to engage the clients on a daily basis. The rooms are very clean, and they are sufficient with facilities like bathrooms. They seem to be well maintained, and that was a key thing for us."

"I toured Spring Arbor of Salisbury it's very close to where I live. We didn't like that one because I want independent living. I'm not ready for assisted living yet. They're very nice, very informative if I was ready to make a move, I'd probably be a little more interested than I am now. They're beautifully laid out, everything's accessible, no problem, and it's very spacious. The facility is very neat, well-landscaped, and decorated very nicely. I would recommend they go to see it. It's located within my range, it's accessible to where I am now in, as far as shopping and all that stuff."

"My mother was in the assisted living of Spring Arbor Cottage of Salisbury and just transferred to memory care. So far, they're very professional. They matched everything we were looking for. They've got an in-house physician and a pharmacy. They've got activity coordinators and cleaning people. They have well-stocked cafeterias and kitchens, and they do great meals. So far, we've been very pleased with the service that we receive from them. I have tried the food. It's very good. It's more like a dining room, not really a cafeteria. They actually bring the food just like they would at a restaurant. We've been very pleased. There's nothing that they haven't been able to handle at this point in time. They've been really good. The staff is excellentL the nurses, the aides, the administration, and the health department. They are all very, very good. The activities are fine. They have them all day long every day. I think any family would be very, very satisfied with this facility."

"I visited Brookdale Midlothian and was impressed with the open windowed offices of the staff to see out at all times, and easy access to the staff. I liked the warm family atmosphere and that they have an optometrist three days a week and doctors available. The staff we dealt with was patient, warm, friendly, and directive with good eye contact. They showed me the dining area, the semi-dining, and the seated areas. They seemed to be happy with where they were working and compassionate. The memory care room seemed to be adequate and a little above compared to all the others that I've seen at other facilities. It appeared to be clean and spacious. I was also impressed with their two activity rooms with the availability of a pretend shop area for the men and just varied activities to encourage them to wake up and have a routine. They also had fully stocked freshly prepared carts for hydration and for snacks that they take down to the hall. I thought that was very attentive. I liked the personal approach in the hallways at each person's door as well. There's a shadow box where you had information about who lived in that room so that you can have a conversation."

"My mom is in memory care at Commonwealth Senior Living at Chesterfield. It is going well overall. There were a few hiccups in the beginning but those were taken care of, and at the moment, we're satisfied. The staff members are outstanding, very caring, and listen to what you have to say. I have been pleased with the caregivers. The facility location works well for us since it's only about a 15-minute drive for me and my dad, and there's not a lot of traffic. Right now, they're undergoing some construction so sometimes the parking is not great. We really like the room Mom's in. It's big enough to fit a queen-sized bed and a couple of recliners for her and Dad and has a nice bathroom. The food is well-prepared and really good. A lot of times they have elaborate menus, but they don't really describe the food that they're having for dinner. I wish they'd be a little more honest about what they're feeding them since the food is not exactly what they advertise in their menus for the day. That's the only thing I would say that I'm disappointed in."

"What a great open space for people with dementia! My spouse likes to walk and he can walk and explore all day. It doesn't feel like a locked building since its so spacious."

"I went to visit, and my mother will be moving in there. It was very handy for me. It's probably 10 minutes from my home. It's very warm and inviting when you go in, the way it's laid out, it's laid out very well for seniors. It's just got a pocket door for the bathroom, so she doesn't have to maneuver her walker around the door. The showers are built strictly for rollers rolling in in a wheelchair or in a walker, which is very handy for her. She has her own window bunk that looks out over the lawn and all the rooms have a view of some description, which is nice. It's just lovely there. I thought the persons that I worked with thus far, which have been strictly the sales and marketing people, have been very nice. The building is beautiful, it's awesome."
