"I visited Sunrise at Silas Burke House. They offer assisted living too, but I didn't see that area, just the memory care. It was a gorgeous facility. They have an outdoor area for the people there, and the memory care is beautiful. It had beautiful furniture. It's a good size. That was the one that I was considering for my friend. The staff was very nice. It was immaculate, new, and very clean. I was very impressed. The hard thing about that one is I was dealing with one lady over the phone, and then I went to see that facility on a day she wasn't working, and then another person took me, but they were both very nice to me, answered my questions and all. The lady I talked to on the phone was very personable and caring."

"This is the best place I visited and today confirmed what I suspected would be good for my husband. Not only Brittany, Raphael and Mellissa are the best but also all of the others. They are attentive to the needs of the residents and care for them with the utmost efficiency and love for them all. My husband Jim is undoubtedly in the best place possible. Thank you all. Jan Katcham."

"Overall we are very pleased with the Caton Merchant House. The facility is clean, the staff is caring and my mother is well-taken care of. We have had some issues with billing -- you stay on top of the itemized list and ensure all is correct. The on-site medical care/primary care is a Nurse Practitioner who is difficult to get a hold of and doesn't always return phone calls. However, like anything -- especially when it comes to medical care for yourself or a loved one -- you must stay actively involved to ensure everything is taken care of. "

"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."

"Spring Hills Mount Vernon was a very nice facility. However, the rooms would not have been to my cousin's liking. It was too far away from where she currently lived, and it was in a congested area. Visiting her would have been pretty much out of our way. She would have been much isolated there from her existing friends. "

"I toured Arden Courts of Annandale. They were very thorough. They were ready for me and greeted me well. They explained everything. It's not a fancy place, but it was very clean."

"This is how dementia/elder care should be. My dad, who has dementia of the Alzheimer's type, has been living with me and my wife the past 2 years. He had a very bad experience at a traditional memory care facility prior to living with us, but after 2 years of care my wife and I were in dire need of a vacation and respite care for my dad. We found Tilden House which is much smaller and offers much more personalized care and way better staff/resident ratios than your traditional memory care facility. It feels so much more like being at home because it is an actual home. The staff were also amazing (thank you Wade and Eva!) and took such great care of my dad. After our 2 week vacation, we went to pick up my dad and he had clearly been well taken care of and most importantly, was happy as a clam. When asked if he'd be willing to stay at Tilden House again if we were to take another trip, he said "Sure, I had a good time here. The staff were very nice and make you feel comfortable." but when asked about traditional memory care he says "It was like being in prison." If you have a loved one struggling in a traditional facility, do yourself a favor and check out Tilden. It's the next best thing to home care for your loved ones."

"We toured the Sunshine Assisted Living in Alexandria. They gave us a tour of the whole assisted living community. I liked the layout of it and the distance from where we lived. The staff there were very kind and polite. The coordinator was very nice and explained everything that my wife and I talked to her about. The dining area was nice and clean. The staff showed me where they dine, the playing area, and the salon where they do their hair, which was nice. You have to go underground and off the street to park. Other than that, I think it appears nice. It's also right on the corner, so you can't miss it."

"I went to visit this facility with my friend who lives in Manassas, VA and wanted to checkout this facility since this one is closest from his house and he wanted to send his Grandma so he could visit her more often. I was kind of skeptical about it because I hadn't heard about this facility before but I was really surprised when I visited it. This has to be one of the greatest one I visited in past. The staff was very helpful and location is very clean and beautiful from outside as well as inside. I talked to few people who lived there and they told me about how good the staff is and they have lots of fun activities for residents who live there. One thing that really fascinated was people who lived there all looked extremely happy with the service provided by this facility which is very hard to find in assisted living homes. "

"My mother moved to Cogir of West End Alexandria's memory care. It's a very beautiful community. The attendance of the nurses is very helpful, and the support staff is very supportive. The director is very welcoming and very friendly. The buck stops with him. He takes action immediately if you need something. I haven't had a complaint, but in my experience of trying to get what my mother needed, I can see that he's very receptive and quick to implement what it was that she needed. The staff he gave me to deal with was also very receptive and very professional. I'm very pleased with them. My mother's room is good. I've seen the food and the menu, and they look very healthy. They have activity after activity. Every hour, they're changing and doing something with the people. They take field trips, art sessions, and music sessions. They do let the residents watch TV, but it's not a situation where they're sitting in front of the TV all day. When they watch TV, it's usually a movie in the evening. They don't have the time to watch TV during the day because they're moving them around to different activities."

"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."

"I believe that the experience was a positive one as they never bothered me when I would visit my father. The staff was kind of ho-hum and appeared to be going through the motions, not necessarily personable but their to their do jobs effectively. It may just be a sign of Northern Virginia as that tends to be most of our attitudes. I felt the facilities were adequate and well kept. There were a number of paths you could take to stroll around and the landscaping was nicely done. There were a number of activities set up for the seniors to enjoy and it seemed like more of a place for someone to go while they needed help living rather than a hospice situation where you expected the patient to die. All in all, I think they are more equipped to help the healthy that need assistance rather than people in dire straits. "
