The Best Memory Care Communities in Spotsylvania County, VA

"I toured Marian Manor of Stafford. The thing I liked best was the staff's participation in the lives of the patients. They have a huge living room where people sit around and chat with each other. The facility is fine, lovely, and clean. They showed the dining area. On the first floor, I saw a couple of rooms to get an idea of what size and furniture restrictions and all."

"My dad will move in. The staff seemed very warm and welcoming. It was clean and nice. It seemed that everyone was engaged. It felt more like home. They made me feel very at ease and very welcomed. It was just very comforting. They were very pleasant. The place is very neat. They have activities at the memory care unit. They have an activities person, too. They have a courtyard. They have the things that I was interested in."

"I toured Potomac Place Assisted Living and Memory Care. The management was really good. The grounds were well-kept. The people who lived there seemed to enjoy it. They had good amenities like how they take them out to different activities and things like that. The woman who helped us was informative and friendly. My mom liked the food. The place was clean. They had a wide variety of different rooms from smaller to larger rooms, and it was affordable as well. That was one big thing. It was the most affordable place out of all of them."

"We liked Arbor Terrace Prince William Commons because it was the cheapest. When they gave us the package for the rental of the apartment, the one thing that we liked the most was that med management was included. It's not considered a level of care. It's just part of their basic assisted living, which we love. The facility is beautiful. They have lots of activities. It's not too big, but it's also not too small. The staff was super friendly. The place was gorgeous. Cleanliness was top-notch. It's amazing. I took my sister over there and toured her around, and she just couldn't get over how clean it was and how beautiful it was. It just looked so light, vibrant, and happy. Not gross and old."

"I toured Brookdale Lake Ridge. The only thing that I didn't like about it was probably the distance I had to travel. However, the facilities were great. The upkeep of the buildings was nice. The people were very helpful. They have a nice rec room or a participation room, and I like that because my mother-in-law likes to play cards and stuff like that. The memory care was good. When we got there, they were already there playing games and singing along and stuff like that, so that was nice. The staff was wonderful. They met you down there at the door and asked if you wanted anything before we got started. They introduced us to the chef. I like the staff. The facility was very clean and very well kept. The layout was good. The rooms were comfortable. They were nice rooms. They had very nice hallways, and it was easy in and out. The bathroom was very clean."

"I like the cleanliness at Cardinal Village, the responsiveness, and the cordial greeting of the entire staff there. I also like the information that was provided and the attitude that the staff we're working with. They look like a fairly new facility. They look and smell cleaner than the other place I toured. Their rooms looked clean and well-maintained, and the staff was professional. They have an activities area."

"I went here today. Michelle is wonderful, we spent about two hours together, and she was great and very, very helpful in getting me the information that I need to make this move forward. It's strictly for memory care. It's a beautiful community, the building itself is well-spaced, they have gathering spaces for all the clients, and they have a well setup system of caretakers for clients. You have a choice of whether you have a dual room, or they have single rooms available also. When I was doing the tour, they were just ending lunch and the caretakers were very, very on top of everyone as far as making sure that everybody had what they needed. There's a deli area where if for some reason a person isn't there for the set lunch hour, they can go ahead and get a meal at all times, 24 hours a day, which is wonderful because, if you're dealing with someone with dementia, the time frames go away. So they don't know if it's 6:00 in the morning or 4: 30 at night. The dining area is beautiful. They have courtyards on all sides of the building so that the patients can go outside and sit out in the sun and commiserate and talk, or just enjoy a beautiful day like today which was not too hot. The rooms themselves are not furnished, but they're very spacious. They all have walk-in showers. And so if they want to take a bath as opposed to taking a shower they have that ability too. That was something I hadn't thought about. The caregivers are responsible for helping you get into the shower, depending upon what your level of need is. If you're at a different level like my mother, it would be that she showers, she would have to have someone with her because she's not that stable on her feet on top of everything else. Across the board, it was a relief to see the way that things were set up, and how people were interacting with each other and then with the staff for the time that I was there."

"I've been to Trinity Senior Village several times and I had been there with a friend whose mother was there. It's clean, it's new, and it's family-run. It is very caring. Wonderful staff to patient ratio. They have really good activities, and they have great use of technology including wristbands. Also in memory care, they have what looks like a TV but it's an interactive game kind of thing that is used. The staff is very caring and warm. It's small, it's family-owned, and it's very well run. The rooms are open, airy, and fit all the Virginia standards, but they're clean. They have extra windows here and there, so it's bright. It's a square shape, so you don't run into the end of a hallway, and you can keep walking around and around. I've tried the food, and it's excellent. It's a smaller facility, so it has a smaller living room area and a smaller dining room area. When I took my grandson and he said, 'Wow, this just looks like a regular house.' There's a craft room, they have those mechanical pets, they have a fireplace, they have TV, and they have a family room where a family can meet and do a celebration by themselves. Obviously, they have laundry. They don't mix people's laundry. They do one person's laundry and don't mix all that up, and I like that. They have a salon and a fitness room. They have a walk-in tub room as well. They sort of have everything. It's extremely well-maintained. They take great pride in the cleanliness, and more than that, the care of the clients there. They just do a great job of communicating and communicating with families. When I went with my friend to visit her mom, it just was a very welcoming home atmosphere. They do a lot of different activities, they had family members come in and paint flower pots, and they have people come in for different activities. They have music, they do bingo, and they have a service dog come in and visit with patients. The value for money is excellent, and that's why we're looking into it for my husband because the value is very, very good. There's no extra pricing for everything. It's a flat fee other than cable TV, so there are not a lot of hidden costs, and that is excellent."

"I like the atmosphere at Tribute at The Glen. It was a nice setup. The accessibility to the floors was good. They have elevators. It had a pretty much open view with lots of windows and natural light. It was quiet for the most part on the inside. There's good soundproofing between the rooms. You couldn't hear sound penetration from one room to the other. Then they have some activities. They take the people out and have entertainment come in, which was good. The person who gave the tour was very good. We got a lot of information more than what we asked for. The facility was pretty clean."

"Tribute at The Glen by Cogir was beautiful and nicely laid out. They had beautiful apartments with huge closets. It was nice in that respect. Their grounds were pretty. There were lots of outdoor spaces, different courtyards, and walking paths. The woman who did the tour was super great and super friendly. She listened to all our concerns and answered all our questions. She was the most well-versed in explaining levels of care and how that works, that they're kind of fluid and you can go back and forth between all of them. She was good. The menu looked amazing."
