Memory Care Communities in Virginia Beach City, VA

"The Gardens of Virginia Beach is just down the street. My wife and I toured it and we're very happy and satisfied with it. She and I won't have to travel far to see my dad. The staff was very helpful. They didn't just wait for me to ask questions but I could tell from the conversation that they were looking for questions I might ask. We saw 3 different rooms. One room was big for what we were looking for. The smaller one was too small. But the middle one was just right and cozy. The most alluring feature of this facility is the general accessibility and the atmosphere of the whole place. I would absolutely recommend them to others. "

"My mom will move into Commonwealth Senior Living at Leigh Hall. I loved the way it's set up. It used to be in the 1950s, a luxury hotel that they've turned into an assisted living facility, and so when you walk into the main entrance, it opens up into this giant atrium, and that's the common room, and the floors are open. There are skylights, so it's like the natural light coming in, but you can see the blue sky and the clouds above through these big skylights. It was very open, bright, and welcoming, and I love its atmosphere and feel. I like the square footage and the layout of the rooms. They have a kitchenette. The staff was great. I like the ratio of staff to residents. I like the little dining hall, how it was laid out, and it was very open, bright, and cozy. Everything was clean. There were no weird odors or anything like that. A lot of the staff have been there for a long time, and they don't have a very high turnover rate."

"I liked that All About Family Residential Care, LLC was a home atmosphere. It was in a residence, it was a home and there were not very many residents. You had one employee for three people. What I liked least was their visiting hours, they were very restrictive of the visiting hours. In terms of the staff who toured us around, I would have liked to see a higher level of medical knowledge. It was a very clean facility. They have a courtyard, a fenced-in backyard. They have a very nice TV viewing area or a cinema area. Very nice community area."

"My sister will be moving into Chesapeake Place Senior Living. She has a unit. It's extremely clean. I had my sister with me on one of the visits, and that was the first thing she noticed. It smelled good, and there was no offensive odor. She said it's nice. It appeared to be safe. Everyone with whom we came in contact was very pleasant and engaging. We're impressed with the activity program that they have for the residents. That's something especially my sister needs. I had overall a very, very good impression of the facility. The staff was very knowledgeable about their job and the facility."

"Harmony at Oakbrooke was brand new. They had land space where you could walk your dogs. The person who showed us around was very helpful, followed up with phone calls, very informative, and gave some financial help with my VA. Everything was good. They take you to doctors' appointments, and they had a gym, dining rooms, a nice library, and nice apartments. It felt homey."

"I toured Karolwood Gardens Norfolk. I like the size of those particular rooms that they're able to show us. It's a more homelike environment. The staff was very nice and hospitable, and answered questions well. The facility is a little bit older, and they were doing renovations."

"My mom moved into Bickford of Chesapeake in November. The facility is beautiful and brand new. It just opened in May, but it feels like home when you're inside. It doesn't feel institutional at all. They have big fireplaces and sofas in the seating areas. The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. My mom has a large studio room that's nice and bright. It doesn't have a kitchenette. It's just a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. She has a dresser, a nightstand, a sofa with a small coffee table, and a bed, and there's still plenty of room. Three meals a day are included, and they have regular doctor visits. They have a hair salon inside. They do different fun activities all the time, like movies, popcorn, and games. What I was impressed with is that they have different stations set up throughout the facility to trigger memories. So, one is set up to look like an office, another is set up to look like a laundry area with an ironing board. They're very nicely done. I've been there to visit her when she's having her meals and everything looks good. It's farm-to-table as much as possible. They use fresh ingredients, they don't use processed foods."

"My husband has moved to Commonwealth Senior Living at Cedar Manor. I like the cleanliness, the food, and the friendly staff. They have tons of activities for the residents. We like that he can control his room temperature because he's cold always, it's clean, fresh, and also new. They have nice little things for the family like a Family Night once a month, and they have a theme. The residents prepare crafts and things just to help decorate for whatever the theme is. He loves the food there. The staff would depend on who's on duty. The only thing is that it's limited on who you use for hospice, you have to go within their network."

"We liked the fact that Harmony at Harbour View was very clean when we went in. The staff was very willing to help and to assist. The young lady who showed us around was very knowledgeable and friendly. We also had an opportunity to have lunch to be able to taste the food. The staff was very good. They spoke to you and acknowledged that you were there. Everybody was very friendly. Everybody that worked there, if they walked past or whatever, they spoke to you. They had transportation. They had a calendar that showed whatever was going on that week that we could participate in. The units that she showed us were very clean, ready to move in, and accommodating. They had one-bedroom or two-bedroom, and they had a studio. It was just wonderful. It was pricier than the other place and what turns my wife off to all of them, not just this one, is the fact that you have to pay for your spouse. If your two-bedroom started at $3500 and if you got a spouse, then it went up another $1200 or $700 for the spouse to be there."

"My aunt stayed at Commonwealth Senior Living at Hampton. She was in memory care. They were accommodating. Her room was comfortable looking. She had a shared room and she had lots of space. She was only there for eight days. We didn't get to use all the amenities, but they had a beauty shop, they had an onsite doctor, and they had meals and snacks available during the day. I thought it was a reasonable value considering its memory care. The staff was always responsive to what I needed. The dining area was spacious. You had rooms for wheelchairs to move around. People were able to eat in groups. They were very nice. Another thing is that they were also segregated by gender, so it was not crowded at all. The facility looked great. In memory care, they were clean and well maintained. I was there almost every day during my aunt's stay, and there was always somebody with a mop cleaning up and they clean up right after the meals. I thought they did an excellent job. From what I looked at, the food was adequate for what people were capable of eating. They made accommodations for people who could not chew. They're very flexible. The only drawback is you got to be firm about what's the base price and what are the add-ons. It's somewhat all-inclusive, but you have to ask about what all the expenses are."

"I live here and absolutely love it. Moving to Westminster Canterbury is the best decision I ever made. I never dreamed that retirement communities could be like this. I feel like I'm on a cruise ship that never leaves the dock. "

" was so impressed that Tayler was able to my tour quickly and on a Holiday weekend. My mom was in the hospital and it meant so much to me to begin planning for her on a Sunday. I felt such a weight lifted off my shoulders."
