"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."

"My husband and I are going to be moving to The Trillium Tysons for independent living. I think it's the best. Everything's around there; it's the 10th floor, which thrills us, and we got a corner unit, so we get sun and light on both sides. It's beautiful and surpassed my expectations. I saw pictures of it first on the internet, so I expected it to be nice, but when we walked in there, we were awed. I'm having the master bedroom and master bath changed to be the color of our bedroom now because it's the most soothing color. They said they would have done the whole apartment if we wanted. They also said if we wanted to have the closet organizers we have in our house, they could do that for us. They're also going to put grab bars in the shower because that's very important to me. As it is right now, they don't have a door in the shower, so we're getting glass doors in the shower, which they're doing for us, too. The lady who worked with us was as patient as could be. She drew things out for us, answered every question we had, and said that if we had any further questions, we should not hesitate to call. She has the sweetest personality so I just love her. When I came in, I said we've been driving around, and the coffee is horrible. She went and got us a latte during the meeting. If that's an indication of what the service will be like, then I'd rate them highly. She is outstanding. The place is conveniently located near everything, with all the stores and doctors around. That's if you want to go outside, because you don't have to. Everything is already there for you. I would say within a square mile, you have banks, hairdressers, and a movie theater. It's like a village unto itself. You have a choice of a 20-meal package or a 30-meal package. We took the 20-meal package because we like to eat out a lot, and there are a lot of restaurants around there, too. The 20-meal package means you get at least one meal a day. The person we are working with said most people go for dinner because it's a big, fancy meal. They have a Michelin chef there, too. She did say that if you went beyond your 20 or 30 meals, you could get a card and you could pay for it."

"Greenbrier Assisted Living was a single-family home that has been fitted for senior living, and it was very clean and very nice on the inside. The woman that I spoke to was also very nice. They've got 6 or 8 rooms and they all looked well taken care of. They had a nice sunroom area with a TV and a patio area with a grill."

"Grand Oaks Assisted Living looked attractive. The apartments, although small, were very nicely done. The staff was very friendly. They showed me some of the community activity areas that looked attractive, too. It was inviting and upscale. The sales rep was very focused on what I was saying and attentive. He just made a good impression on me. I liked the dining area. It felt like a nice upscale restaurant, rather than just kind of a cafeteria feeding place."

"The big question people have when they put their beloved family member in assisted living is whether the staff is caring and will be kind to them. I had a lot of anxiety about this before my father moved in, especially as he suffered from dementia, but I found the company has some wonderful devoted staff. There is an angelic woman who is the activities coordinator in the memory care unit and always took the time to help me talk to my dad through an ipad she had when he could not follow calls well. I will always be grateful to her and others."

"Sunrise at Fox Hill is very nice. It has everything that I think my mom would like. They have a greenhouse, and she loves flowers. They have a nice dining room. There are different floors and different options for eating at any time of the day. They have activities. They have a very friendly staff. It is very clean and well-kept. There are a lot of different models you can choose from. That was the one that stood out to me. It's very beautiful. I looked at the menu. It was a nice and well-balanced meal, and they had different options, so that was very good. The staff who showed me around was very informative and very nice. She had a lot of examples of her own family and what they needed and how she would recommend it even to our own family. She was very informative, very nice, and friendly to us."

"Rembrandt Assisted Living is a small, eight-person assisted living facility. They offer early memory care but not advanced memory care. It looked like a great facility. It had a real family feel, given how small it is. It's a real tight community feel. The staff was a ratio of 3 to 1, which was just great. I was impressed by the staff ratio. The couple that runs and owns the facility was easy to talk to and was able to answer all my questions. It seems like a nice community. My concern is that because my mother-in-law will at some point need full memory care, it doesn't seem like it's something they could offer if her situation gets much, much worse. I did not try the food, but I saw the dining area. It's very nice. It is a large dining room table. Everyone eats together, and I liked that sense of community and kind of homey feel to it. It was the two owners that gave me the tour, and it's clear that they're passionate about what they do. They were fantastic, and they answered all my questions. I saw a great relationship between them and the residents. The building is a former home that has been turned into an assisted living facility. So, it doesn't have the room and things that some of the large facilities that are specifically built as assisted living do, but they have certainly made it very warm and inviting and fit to purpose."

"My brother and I visited Sunrise at Bluemont Park in Arlington and toured their assisted living facility. It was small and intimate, which was nice. The staff seemed to be very friendly and very connected to the residents there. We stayed for a meal, and it was fantastic. I think the only thing that concerned us about that one is that it didn't have a physical therapy facility because it was kind of small. It didn't have a separate exercise area, that type of thing."

"I found the Paragon Assisted Living Potomac House Communities for my father. It's a group home. He moved in and he loves it -- the best place he's ever lived. This was perfect for him. The staff is great, my father feels very special there, it's very small, only eight residents, so it's very individualized. It's like they really care. He has the same, consistent people all the time. They have a chef who comes in every day and prepares the food. It's a brand-new facility, it's not even a year old. It's well-maintained. They clean the room every day. They have nice, big, open hallways. They have minimal activities, and they could probably do better for people who have the ability to do stuff. They're a great alternative to a bigger facility."

"I have been living here at The Jefferson for two and a half years now. What I like the most is the level of activities here: Go to an advanced exercise class at 10:00 a.m., go to yoga at 11:15., go to 'bring me' games at 1:00, and go to politics and issues discussion at 2:30. If it's a Monday, it's the women's cocktail party and if it's Wednesday, it's the men's cocktail party. There's live entertainment multiple times during the week of supremely good quality. There are visits to the National Gallery with art docents. There's going to the opera and going to Kennedy Center for performances. The activity is constant, and it offers everything. Therefore, there's a very high level of physical, intellectual, and cultural stimulation. The only drawback is that it's two older towers, they're over 30 years old and have become very expensive. The staff is superb. They're like family. And the food is quite good. We have a wonderful chef. It's good food; it's healthy food. Regarding facilities, they just did a lot of updating on the main floor where our living room is and where our performance areas are. They have updated the pool area and the gym. So over the last year, they have done quite a bit of updating. It's also conveniently located. If you're mobile, you can walk to whatever you need. There's an abundance of restaurants and you have supermarkets within walking distance, but they also take you once a week to all of these."

"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."

"I went to Brighton Gardens of Friendship Heights to tour, I also had friends from church who live there. The staff was very attentive, and the room that my friend was in was lovely. They also seemed to provide a lot of support and care for the gentleman that I was visiting. But it's quite expensive, the only drawback is the cost. I mostly talked to the administrative staff. What I like about the whole thing was that they have not had a lot of staff turnover and they have long-term employees. So obviously, they take good care of their employees and that means they're happy with their job. The dining room looked very nice, they have flowers on every table and it's nice. The place is very attractive, the common areas looked very comfortable and people seemed to be engaged with each other and not just sitting around. The surroundings are nice, the outside is very pleasant."
