The Best Memory Care Communities in Prince William County, VA

"I toured the Caton Merchant House's assisted living. They have one-bedroom apartments, semi-private apartments, and a studio apartment, or what they call an alcove apartment. The one that I saw was the semi-private apartments, and I could describe that as being a companion suite apartment. It has two bedrooms that are separated by a permanent wall so that the two bedrooms are right next to each other. The entrance will lead you into a kitchenette area and they have the bathroom. Those would be the two shared areas. They have activities throughout the day and they have an activities calendar. The place looked very, very nice, and very luxurious. On the inside, you go in and there's a beautiful living room and a library on the left with beautiful traditional furnishings. It is light and bright. They have a small courtyard visiting area that is on the outside of the building. There are places to sit and there's a fountain and a pond to look out there. I thought those were positive things. The rates are very good there. I would say the rates were one of the best rates that you could obtain. For my mother, the range was about $4,500 for the semi-private companion suite. The levels of care were already included in that price but they do have add-ons for it. For this place you can add on every type of care that you can think of, there is an additional cost that is added on. I looked at all of the levels of care and added them to the base rate, then that's how I came up with the $4,525. That was a very good rate for an assisted living home, and that did include medication management, which is important. Of course, it included the 3 meals a day and the activities. That also included my mother's adult daily living tasks, all three of them that she needed to have. I thought that was a good place to be. If a person is looking for memory care only though, memory care only unit, that was the disadvantage to this. They did not have a locked-down area and they did not have the activities person with your loved ones all the time. They were not available to be with them all the time. They did not have a nurse station that was close by to where your loved ones would be in activities during the day. The halls were also very long in this place and that was a disadvantage to the layout. The halls were extremely long so you would have a lot of apartments that were away from a nurse's station. "

"The Crossings at Spring Hill is excellent. It's a very fine and awesome facility. It's very clean, friendly, well-kept, and just the place where I see my mother living. They keep people very active and they incorporate the community that surrounds them. The staff member who showed me around was very friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent."

"I toured Sunrise at Silas Burke House. I found that it's very similar to the other tours of the common areas and the residents' rooms. The area where they do have memory care residents, I saw, and it looks well maintained. The person who assisted me with the tour answered all my queries. I saw the dining area and the library."

"I went to Brookdale Manassas, it was extremely nice, the size of the apartments were excellent, and the staff was over the top. She was so nice and so helpful. They have full-sized refrigerators. There was a lot of thought put into it. The staff knew the residents by name. You get a good feeling about Brookdale."

"I toured Home Eldercare. The staff was pretty nice and tried to let us know what to expect there and what service they would provide. However, the only thing is that the living conditions are a little bit different than what we expected. Two people will share one unit, and the bathroom is quite tight. I'm a little concerned about sending my mom there, and that's the only thing, but the staff seemed willing to help."

"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."

"The staff at Arden Courts Fair Oaks provided my mom with exceptional care in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is attentive and compassionate, and the food is great. I highly recommend this facility for anyone seeking a comfortable and supportive environment for their loved ones."

"I visited the memory care facility of Viva Senior Living at Stafford. One of the things I liked most was the residents, because they were so welcoming. The person who gave the tour was top-notch. She was very knowledgeable about her facility, and she knew people by their names. I observed her talking to a patient who had memory issues, and the patient was really disgruntled by the nurse, but she resolved everything within a matter of three minutes and calmed the resident down. It was refreshing. I would have picked that place. I knew my mom would have been in good hands. I would definitely give it the highest score from the overall look, the cleanliness, and the awareness of the staff with their residents. I didn't taste the food, but the menu looked very good. The place did need updating. They lock everything down at a certain time. They said that even though my mom would be in her apartment, the way it's set up, she will still remember where her apartment is. If she ever gets lost in the facility, someone will always find her because it's locked down. The good thing about it is that the residents outside of memory care would immediately call the staff if they notice a memory care resident walking where they are not supposed to be."

"My mother was in Arden Courts for 5 years. Moving her there was the best decision I ever made! She went from staying in bed all day and not wanting to go to activities to being the life of the party. Mom's love was nature and every nice day she would walk outside and look at the butterflies, birds and flowers. Many days I would find her sitting in one of the gazebos with her friends. Mom became an avid activities person as she loved the songs of the past that were used in the singalongs and exercise programs. Thank you Arden Courts to giving my Mother quality of life with her journey of this terrible disease. "

"When I visited The Virginian, I was struck by the cleanliness. The staff were very kind and nice. They understood every needs of the residents. The rooms were all clean. I hoped they hire more multilingual staff. "

"The Providence Fairfax has excellent facilities. It's very well maintained and very well cared for. The proximity is close to my sister, my nephew, and my nieces. So, we could have a lot of family support for my father. Our move-in experience was very good. People are very welcoming and the residents are also very welcoming and they socialize. It's a good location. There's plenty of parking for the families and things like that. They have an excellent chef. The main thing that my father is doing right now is physical therapy, which he likes, but they also have different outing trips. Sometimes they have activities where people come in and play the piano or do some musical activities. There's movie night and when the weather's nice and you want to sit outside, there is a rooftop. Some amenities are available for whoever wants to participate. The facilities are very clean and very well laid out. My father has a one bedroom so there's enough space. He has a nice size bedroom, a comfortable living room, a kitchen, and elevator access. They also provide laundry service and cleaning services. So, they clean once a week and do laundry once a week. Internet and utilities are provided. It's only ten minutes from the hospital just in case of emergencies. The staff has been very helpful, very friendly, and very supportive. It's like staying in a five-star hotel. The food is excellent. It is very expensive but they provide the services that you need. In the Fairfax, Virginia area, everything there was expensive so that's just what's in the area."

"Everybody at Heritage Village is extremely friendly. My friend's needs are taken care of. It's very neat, very clean, and they seem to attend to all her needs. They have an awful lot of activities. She loves the food there. They have games going on all day long, they have church services, they take the residents to the doctors if they're within three miles of the facility, and they have outings to different places to eat or to shop. It's a great place."
