Communities in Suffolk, VA

"Harmony at Oakbrooke had their own kitchens inside the rooms. Their staff was very friendly. The place was very clean. They offered a lot of activities for seniors too."

"My dear friend was a resident in the Chesapeake Place M/C for a little over a year and just passed away. She was treated with excellent care and never complained. The staff was good to her and grew to love her as well. Bedridden for the last 8 months, her care was excellent. If would recommend this facility. Because of Covid they are having trouble getting qualified staff right now, but the current staff is dedicated and willing to serve double shifts to be sure the residents are cared for and safe."

"The staff are very friendly and helpful. The facility and rooms are very clean. The patients are well cared for as well."

"Commonwealth Senior Living at Hampton was very clean. The tour person was very caring and willing to accommodate my needs. She was wonderful. The facility has just been updated."

"I loved Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall and this was where my sister was supposed to go. I looked at their respite in assisted living. Their rooms were beautiful and the staff was very nice, all of them, and they're caring. The place was clean, it was amazing. I would go there. It used to be a hotel, it has this gorgeous lobby three-stories high with glass ceilings that's like a dome, so there's beautiful natural light coming in. There's a grand piano, the rooms have floor to ceiling windows. It's just gorgeous."

"The Gardens of Virginia Beach was nice. The location was nice too. The staff members were friendly, polite, and helpful. This place was clean. The rooms were nice and spacious. Their dining area seemed to be nice too."

"I liked Harmony at Independence a lot. It was very pleasant. I liked Kim who took me around. It was a very pleasant experience. It's on my list of considerations. The rooms looked beautiful. I met mostly with Kim and she was very, very pleasant and very helpful. They had a gym, conference rooms, and activity rooms. I didn't taste any of the food, but it looked like a nice menu. It was a restaurant-style setting."

"I toured Harper's Station Yorktown. The people, the community itself, are very welcoming. I got a chance to eat there. They had a lot of choices, and the food was very good. The washer/dryer was good, a closet with doors. That's the only thing I was hesitant about, but good size. This facility is practically new. They have a pool and exercise equipment, and everything you need."

"We toured Harmony on the Peninsula. We were inquiring about all levels of care. The staff was very friendly. The administrator we met seemed very friendly. The place was very clean. There was no smell. It was a nice place. In the assisted living part, it seemed like it would be like you were kind of living at home. It didn't seem like an institution."

"I went to see Gates House in Gatesville and was very impressed with it. One of their representatives is supposed to go to where my husband is now and evaluate him. I saw some of the assisted living, but the tour is mostly for memory care because my husband has Alzheimer's. I've been talking with one of their representatives for several days now, and she's always been punctual in getting back to me. She keeps me informed and gives me some assurance that they're trying to do what they can to help me. I'm looking for a locked unit for my husband, for safety, and I was impressed with the rooms, the cleanliness, the way the residents appeared there, and the way the staff worked with us. I also like that the rooms were neat and the bathrooms were clean."

"Bickford of Virginia Beach was gorgeous. It was absolutely beautiful. That's my preference. It was up-to-date and clean. The tour guide was great. Her name was Heather, and I think she knew everybody's first name. They took me into the beauty parlor and to the rooms. They were all nice. They took me into the gardens, which were all decorated. They had lots of plants and trees. It was first class. The pictures on the wall and the artwork were good, and the furniture was nice. I just give it high regards. I think they had three different room styles. I toured the assisted living and memory care. The dining room was nice, and the menu was nice."

"Mother passed while at Arden Court within a week after she had a terminal diagnosis. The staff couldn't have been more loving and caring with her from her arrival to Arden Court and through the week that she passed. They were loving, kind, and nurturing to her always. I cannot thank you enough for making it a happy home for her. I tell everyone about how wonderful and dedicated you all are to your house guests!"

"The staff took wonderful care of my aunt. She suffered from dementia which was hard on our family. They were able to manage her sundowning. The one nurse caring for three individuals beats the 1 nurse to 20 patient ratio that you would have at a major facility. The home had a Nurse Practitioner who came to the home to provide care which was great. I would trust any of my family members at their home. "

"Bickford of Suffolk is a family-owned establishment. It's very pretty and very nice. I don't think the rooms were quite as big, but as far as the amenities and everything that they had there, everything was beautiful. It's very, very comforting. You walk in and it's got a brick fireplace. It's just very welcoming. They have a beautiful courtyard and a big gazebo. I like their dining room because they section it off a little bit, so it gives you a little bit more privacy while you're eating. You're still eating with the other residents, but it just seems like it's cozy. The person who gave me the tour was perfect. She went above and beyond. I did not taste the food, but it looked and smelt delicious. They were eating lunch when we were there."
