Nursing Home Communities in Bristol, VA

"My Mother has been a resident of The Wexford House in Kingsport for almost 3 years now. The staff for the most part are great!!! She maybe has had ONE UTI while there, which is commendable for a 95 year old bed ridden resident. I actually begged for Mom to be accepted there, I feel if she wasn't living there she wouldn't have had a chance where she was living (facility) for a few days. I couldn't recommend Wexford enough from the employees, to the cleanliness, to the care levels, I'm more than happy and I'm very confidant with them."

"all of you were so good to my sweet brother his brothers and sisters thank you from the bottom of our hearts. his name was willard peters as you guys called him willie he loved you all especially the person that got him buttermilk one night sincerly with love "

"My mom is at NHC Healthcare, Kingsport. The rehab facility is great. The staff members are very caring, and they take very good care of their patients. My mom loves their food. For activities, I've only seen bingo. They can go out in the courtyard. My mom is non-mobile right now, so she's not able to take advantage of that. With regards to cleanliness, they are amazing. In terms of location, it's near a hospital and restaurants."

"I have never resided in a nursing home before. Right off the bat I knew I was home. I was made to feel comfortable & at home. My room was wonderful, clean and spacious. The staff are fantastic , I feel loved. We enjoy an array of entertainment. All the way from Elvis to corn hole. There is a variety of stores and banks nearby. "

"Pine Ridge Care was my second choice; it was a very nice place too. The amenities there weren't super anything, but the staff was really good. There were lots of interaction with the patients, and there were lot of patients comparably speaking that were out of bed; it's just wasn't in our hometown. "

"I toured Hermitage Health and Rehabilitation for my mom. It was a much newer facility than many I've seen. I think that the physical appearance of the place, outside especially, was more attractive than your average place. It is also in a very good location. It's up on a steep hill, so, in wintertime, and you want to go visit somebody there, you need to know how to drive in winter conditions and on a steep hill. Nonetheless, I think it's a very nice place for the residents. Now, the only potential downside or potential negative is that I noticed it was extremely crowded. I just felt like they had a lot of patients. When I visited, it was a time for them to be out socializing and not be in their rooms, so the hallways were full of people. When my mom was moved out of rehab and into long-term care without having applied for Medicaid yet, they kind of stopped helping. I wasn't happy with that. When they thought they were going to have my mom as a resident, they were very nice and very helpful. But when she got moved out of rehab up in the place where she is now in Kentucky, that made it impossible to transfer here under Medicare. And so they just kind of dropped it. They said there's nothing they can do. And I was hoping they'd have been more helpful. The place is not brand new, but it looked new and it looked nice and clean."

"I'm currently at Hillview Health Center for rehab. It is a very nice facility. The upkeep is very, very good. The rooms are nice. They have a little gym at the top area here for the rehab part, and it's very nice and up-to-date. They decorate very nicely. Like right now, they decorate for the autumn and also specifically some little Halloween stuff, and they do a super job of it. They have a wonderful staff, from top to bottom. They're very, very patient-oriented and they are largely hometown staff from here in Elizabethton and the surrounding areas. Most patients are from this area, so they have a great rapport with the patients. They are very caring people. When you request assistance for anything, they're right on it. They do a nice job and they are very professional. The nursing staff is very professional, as are the doctors. And the CNAs are very well trained and they do a great job. Food is just like typical institutional food and it's not going to be like dining out in a restaurant. Upstairs, they have more of a permanent population. So, they have activities every day for those folks. I'd participate a couple of times a week when they have a little group exercise thing."

"My father was at this facility after suffering a major stroke and I couldn't have asked for better care that what he got here. The nursing staff were so good to him and treated him with such kindness and respect, yet were very professional at the same time. And the therapist had such patience with him and worked at his speed to get him back into shape. And they didn't treat him like a child with the work they did which was a problem he had before. They were just wonderful to him. The food was very good which was also a big surprise and the facility itself was very beautiful. I will always recommend NHC Johnson City to my family and friends because in my book it's the best around. And as a former caregiver and having seen a lot of different facilities I feel it is the best in the area hands down. "

"My mother-in-law moved to Life Care Center of Gray. From my experience, the nurses have been very nice and helpful. She's in the memory care unit. They have a good security barcode entry to the door. So, no one can accidentally wander out or any of that. They gave us a code so we could visit and everything. The places are in great shape. There are no complaints there. They have it laid out like a long hallway with all their rooms. At the front, most of the residents hang out in the dining room, with plenty of tables, and they have another room that's kind of like a game room, TV room, and all that. My mother-in-law has made good friends with one already. I think the only thing that can be improved is cleanliness. The bathrooms could be cleaned a little more often or better. The staff, they've seemed very good with the residents, they've been very helpful, very patient, and they've been very great with us. They answered our questions and took the time. They inventory everything, keep a log of all that, describing everything and, not just rushing through it."

"Staff are really nice. The rooms are decently clean and food is good most days. I can't expect perfection but very satisfied with our experience."

"The main reason why I chose this facility is because they provide rehabilitation service and therapy 7 days a week. And I'm really impressed with their therapist. They are really nice and take good care of my mom. We were looking forward that she'll be out of the facility in 2 weeks time since she is improving every day. I'll definitely recommend this center for those people as well who are looking for rehabilitation service. "

"My grandmother is now in Princeton Transitional Care and Assisted Living, it's nice. It's newer, they offer 24-hour nursing care, and they do the meals. I liked it because it was all one price, while in a lot of places, it's like a la carte so there are a lot of different fees for different things that they do. And here, everything is already included like help with dressing, showers, and all of that stuff is all included in one price. It's not like where they'll suddenly start adding additional costs as they need additional care, so I like that option. They have different room options. She's in a studio apartment, so it's one big room and she has a nice-size bathroom that's handicap accessible, with a walk-in shower, and a nice built-in seat. And then it has a little kitchenette with almost a full-size refrigerator, they provide the refrigerator and a microwave. There's a lot of cabinet space and a little sink, it's a nice little kitchenette. All of them have windows looking either outside or into the courtyard. They also offer two rooms and stuff like that, but she's just in a studio. The staff has been very attentive and very helpful. When I call and check on her, I'll call the nurse's station, and I've always been able to get through to somebody every time I've called. The food smells and looks good but I haven't tried any of it. On Wednesday nights, they do wine and music, then they have a church service every Sunday, and they had a whole calendar of activities. They do things like cards and a lot of different stuff."

"My mother lived at Nova (Weber City) for 7 years, she recently passed. Staff are excellent and took such good care of her. She thought of them as family and they treated her as such. They provide resident activities as Covid permits , Church services several times a week and outdoor activity as weather permits. I highly recommend them. I had outside providers (Dr's and nurses) tell me what good care she was getting when we had to visit their offices. "

"I really like Lakebridge, A Waters Community for someone who is looking for full care. That was really a positive. I got a tour of the whole facility, and that's a plus if you don't have an appointment because I just went in to get information. They offered a full tour, and that's good when they don't know you're coming. Everything was clean. I liked everything about the place. They recommended that I go to memory care because my mom still walks well, and she just needs redirection and all those kinds of things. I was taken into a few rooms there. They had some private rooms, but they had more double rooms, and I was more interested in a private room if possible. The staff members were very good. I was with three different ones there and it was all a really good experience. I didn't eat any food, but everything looked good. It seemed like there would be things that my mother would really like. She's pretty easy to please, but I was happy with what I saw."
