The Best Memory Care Communities in Loudoun County, VA

"I loved Tall Oaks at Reston. It's a beautiful place with a lot of personality. It didn't feel like an institution. The activities and food looked good. The people were all happy, and I loved the staff. The staff who toured me around was wonderful. The rooms were nice, had plenty of natural light, and had as much space as any of these places have."

"We toured Hunters Woods at Trails Edge. We met with a lady, Dawn. Their costs are relatively the same as those of other facilities. It's something we need to consider. She showed us all the facilities. It's a very well-maintained and great facility, and we will certainly give it a high rating. She showed us a one-bedroom at the time, because the others were occupied, and the person who wanted to show us the two-bedroom wasn't there, so we couldn't see a two-bedroom, but she gave us a floor plan. Hunters Woods is very modern."

"Beautiful, very new facility with art room, movie theater, gym, pub, formal living room with a grand piano, restaurant-style dining room and well-appointed rooms. Staff is attentive and friendly—from the receptionists to the nurses to the waiters and waitresses. The activities director is a standout. She plans fun events, including art sessions, music performances, theme parties, and daily exercises. Most importantly, she really connects with everyone on a personal level. The staff is excellent at communicating with the family, too. My father-in-law enjoyed the last year of his life because had this wonderful place. He was nervous to leave his home, but the experience at Colvin Run was excellent from the moment he arrived, and he immediately felt at home. We are eternally grateful for the experience."

"Sunrise at Fair Oaks has been like heaven on earth for me and my family. The care has always been top notch, delicious food, great activities but the people have always been wonderful. The employees don't leave which makes my mom at ease. We were previously at another community but switched to Sunrise at Fair Oaks and found myself relaxed and at ease. They are very communicative and have an app that allows me to see what my mom does each day and will often send pictures of her to us. This was such a hard decision but the nurse Martine was such an advocate for my mom and we will forever be grateful. I would highly recommend this community."

"I enjoyed visiting our Dad at M&A's Place. The home and rooms were cozy, clean and Dad called it a mansion. The home cooked meals were delicious, balanced and actually added well needed pounds ro his body. I'm grateful for the professional, warm, joyful, friendly talks, laughs and good interaction with the staff. Blessings!!!"

"All of the rooms are private and come with furniture. Food is excellent, cooked by a chef who really cares about the residents."

"My husband has been a resident of Arden Court for 2 years. I have never regretted my decision. When I am asked how he is doing, my answer is always SAFE. That is my biggest concern. The design of the building is such that he has the freedom to walk about freely and always within the watchful eyes of staff. And, I do mean ALL THE STAFF, from housekeepers to kitchen staff to directors. I also like that it is a 1 story building and that we and the staff have the ability to take him outside to the beautiful enclosed courtyard for fresh air and sunshine. In addition to taking care of the patient, I am very impressed with the care they show to families . When I had a problem with my insurance the staff showed me a priority and solved my dilema quickly. I am always greeted with a warm greeting and smile. Recently I attended a Family Support Group where a speaker was brought in and we had the opportunity to get to know each other and discuss our concerns. There are also monthly family day events where we socialize. Many of us have exchanged phone numbers. I defintely feel that Arden Court Potomac cares as much about the families as they do about the patients."

"My husband moved into Sunrise of Hunter Mill. We like the idea that the facility was smaller, and we thought that that would be advantageous for my husband. It was a little closer to home as well. It was just a good vibe. I had a good feelng about the place. Everybody seems so kind and upbeat. It's a really lovely place. They promoted the involvement of the residents. He's kind of a solitary person, and we thought this would be a good opportunity for him to at least be around other people and socialize, so that's why we chose it. The staff is very nice, very accommodating, and very upbeat. They keep you informed as to what they've done and his progress. I like that they communicate. You don't have to hunt them down to talk to them. Their availability is huge for me. I like to know what's going on. We had lunch and the food was good. We enjoyed it. My husband likes the food, too. They come in, they clean the room, and they pick up the trash. Downstairs in the main lobby, in the seating areas and activity areas, everything's very clean. They're very impressive. They have arts and crafts, exercise a couple of times a day. They try to group individuals that they feel may be similar in some way together, sitting them at the dinner table and also with the activities. It's a little cold right now, but the staff said that they go outside when the weather's permitting and they have all kinds of outside activities as well. They're taking them on little trips down to the ice cream store or wherever it might be like shopping if they're able to. They have everything planned out perfectly. It's expensive, but it's still a very competitive range compared to other centers that are similar in size or what they offer. It's moderate as far as expense goes."

"After a lengthy search, we found the perfect home for Mom that checked all the boxes: Safe, clean, attentive staff, home-cooked meals, happy residents and conveniently located near family. The home has good natural light and the sun in Mom’s room makes it cheerful. The owner is an experienced registered nurse who understands the needs of the resident. She effectively communicates with Mom, family members and caregivers to provide Mom with an individualized care management plan to ensure she stays healthy, safe, and happy. Her good judgement and communication have relieved our family of worrying about Mom’s care and have enabled us to spend quality time when we visit. Mom loves the caring and attentive staff who make her feel loved and special. They go above and beyond to help her and make her happy. Mom always looks forward to the meals. She is always dressed and clean when we drop in. We never expected Mom to be so content. Assisted Living of Potomac far exceeds our expectations."

"Advent Care is like a house in a neighborhood. It's a nice idea, but it wasn't quite what my aunt needed in terms of the bathroom being accessible. I think it would have been difficult for her to get around the house in a wheelchair. The lady was very helpful. Even when she knew that we weren't going to be able to do private pay, she shared resources with us on how to get financial help to try to get her into a comfortable situation. She even followed up with me later and sent me websites and stuff. It has two rooms, one has two beds, and the other only has one bed. She said her family lives there at the house, and there was a dog, which I know my aunt wouldn't like. She said that when her husband and her child are home, they help. She prepares meals, which is nice. My mom went with me, and she is in her 60s. She does have knee problems, and she had a hard time getting around. There wasn't a railing on the front step. There wasn't a ramp. She had to use the bathroom, and she had a hard time getting up off the toilet because there weren't the handicap bars where they needed to be. I wasn't comfortable with it. It is not well-equipped for someone who can't walk on their own. If they can get up and walk around, it is a nice little house, and meals are made from scratch. They had chairs and stuff outside, but it was a question of how to get them out there. There's no ramp. The lady said that they encourage them to be out and about, and they have TVs in the family room. She was very helpful, even knowing that we weren't going to be able to give them our business. She still continued to offer support, health websites, things like that to help us find a place and offered to even take my aunt temporarily for a lower price if we couldn't find a place for her to live, like if we couldn't get the Medicaid thing settled. She was a very, very nice lady. It was more physical equipment-wise that was questionable. The food looked good, like homemade fresh vegetables, chicken, that kind of thing."

"My husband moved to Sunrise of McLean. He needs additional help with so many things. He is actually on their third floor, which is primarily memory care. He has Parkinson's, so he has a little bit of dementia, and he gets excellent care up there. They watch him all the time. They make sure that he doesn't try to get up unassisted, and they make sure that he gets assistance getting up and going into the bathroom and helping with his showers. There are plenty of attendants, so there is always somebody around watching what everyone is doing. That's one of the reasons I like it, that there are enough attendants. Some of the other facilities, I felt, were lacking in that department. He could probably be in just assisted living, should he not need all the assistance and extra care. It bugs him sometimes because he said he has to switch dinner partners frequently. He was at one table, and he said nobody there knew their names. He has to be rotated around a little bit so that he can have a conversation at the meal. Today in their activity area, they had someone come in who plays the piano and sings, so there was entertainment for an hour and a half. That's done at least once a week. They have live entertainment that comes in the afternoon. They have excellent food, much better than the rehab facilities, and he's very pleased with it. They vary their menus so they're not having the same thing every single week. I was there today for lunch, and there was corn soup, a green salad, a piece of pizza, and southwestern beans with a square of chocolate cake with whipped cream on the top for dessert. The facility is very well laid out. There are plenty of places where the family can gather outside of the room and visit. They also have a private dining room if you would like to reserve it for a family birthday or something. For activities, they have quite a few things. Some of them, my husband just isn't interested in, but that's his problem and not the facility's. Twice a week, they have what they call a scenic ride, and you can put your name down for the bus, and you go out for a ride for about half an hour to 40 minutes. It's a nice little break, and they vary the route. It's just a nice scenic ride, especially this time of the year when all the flowers are out in the greenery. I usually go with him on those, so I know for a fact. There are plenty of things to do. There's painting and bingo. They even have travelogues where you can go and visit a country on TV. They have a lot of different things like that, even though my husband doesn't choose to go and do them. Everyone seems very happy there, and all of the staff seem to know everyone by name. I've seen them when people are coming down from the main dining room to the other floors. The memory care and assisted living's dining room and patio are actually on their floor, but everyone else goes down to a big central dining room to eat. When they come in, they're greeted by the staff by their names. They seem to know everybody's name. They even know my name, my daughter's name, and my son-in-law's name when we come to visit. That's a big thing there. They try to learn everybody's names very quickly."

"We visited Sunrise of Vienna right after they opened. The community only had a few residents at the time we visited. The facility is absolutely beautiful. It is a five-star, modern, gorgeous hotel. It's really pretty. My mother-in-law prefers an older-style Sunrise or the more homey-style assisted living. However, for me and my husband, if we had been looking for ourselves, it's what we would have picked. They outdid themselves on just being a beautiful facility. They have pretty, nicely laid-out apartments. There are different views and stuff like that. It was just really nice. For the common areas, there were little outdoor patios. The staff was outstanding and very knowledgeable. We did not try the food, but the dining area was upscale and nicely done. However, even though I've been raving about it, there were only a couple of residents, so we didn't get to see the community as it would come together."
