Nursing Home Communities in Fort Belvoir, VA

"We toured The Fairfax, and my aunt used to live there. We saw the rooms and the units and everything. We walked around there, and we ate there. So, it meets all of our criteria except for the cost. The staff all appeared to be busy and helpful, like you would expect. We had a good tour. They have different types of displays there. They had a display for when they would do a buffet, like in the hallway, where you could nibble on. So, they had good food that looked good. The location was good. The one my aunt had was a two-bedroom with a part in the middle and then a bedroom on either side. They always take care of their rooms whenever we've been in them."

"I have been living here at The Jefferson for two and a half years now. What I like the most is the level of activities here: Go to an advanced exercise class at 10:00 a.m., go to yoga at 11:15., go to 'bring me' games at 1:00, and go to politics and issues discussion at 2:30. If it's a Monday, it's the women's cocktail party and if it's Wednesday, it's the men's cocktail party. There's live entertainment multiple times during the week of supremely good quality. There are visits to the National Gallery with art docents. There's going to the opera and going to Kennedy Center for performances. The activity is constant, and it offers everything. Therefore, there's a very high level of physical, intellectual, and cultural stimulation. The only drawback is that it's two older towers, they're over 30 years old and have become very expensive. The staff is superb. They're like family. And the food is quite good. We have a wonderful chef. It's good food; it's healthy food. Regarding facilities, they just did a lot of updating on the main floor where our living room is and where our performance areas are. They have updated the pool area and the gym. So over the last year, they have done quite a bit of updating. It's also conveniently located. If you're mobile, you can walk to whatever you need. There's an abundance of restaurants and you have supermarkets within walking distance, but they also take you once a week to all of these."

"My husband, Mr.Love, was a patient at Hillhaven in September and part of October 2024. I am proud of the workers at Sterling Hillhaven Health Care Center. The faculty and staff are hard workers and they give lots of attention to their jobs and patients. The rooms are very clean, the food is good (if you have allergies or don’t eat a pork) inform the nurses and staff. The nurses and staff are very friendly and I had fun laughing with them! In September, Hillhaven had a “Carnival Day” I entertained the patients outside with a magic show! It was a happy day for the patients. In October, my husband and I attended an Oktober fest on the 2nd floor, I was impressed with the activities! Way to go activity coordinators! I will return to Hillhaven to entertain with another magic show and as a Storyteller using props. The social worker and manager of nursing are great people, you can go to their office and talk with them anytime! Hillhaven in Adelphi Md is a great place for your love ones! They are wonderful people, take a tour and get to know Hillhaven. I am Mrs.Love written in October 2024."

"My mom moved to Bedford Court. It was close in proximity to where she had been living, and already knew a lot of the residents in Bedford Court. She's got a one-bedroom apartment with a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. She has a balcony outside, which was recently renovated, and a very nice full kitchen. The staff was very nice. I tried their food, and Mom liked the food a lot. The building was very clean. They have quite a few programs going on. They have regular scheduled events like trips to grocery stores or shopping centers. They do occasional events like trips to museums. They have movies. They have talks presentations, activities like games, and a lot of different games going on. They celebrated the holidays in different ways. They're the most reasonably priced of the places we looked at."

"Greenspring Village had more things happening than the other place. Also, I felt like the people who were living there seemed to be more independent. They had younger, more varied age groups. We met my mom's friend, and then she took us on a tour, and we had lunch with her. The food was excellent. My mom's friend's apartment was good-sized. Her kitchen was larger than the kitchen my mom has in her townhouse. It was nice. I liked that a lot."

"I have stayed at Greenspring Senior Living. You get good care there. It's closer to my daughter, she can be there in ten minutes from her work and her home, and that is very convenient for me and her. I also liked the activities, the physical therapy team was wonderful, it was well kept, it was clean, and you had your own, big, private room. I was very friendly with the staff, I got along well with them, and they've all been wonderful to me there. I stayed there for thirty days. They treated me well, everything was excellent, and the food was good. Beautiful dining area, you can eat in your room, or the dining area. They would take you on trips, to movies, to dinner, and then in the building, they had bingo, they had a church, and all kinds of church services for different denominations. They had different types of functions. Like, one time they had a dance for the senior citizens and everybody was dancing and all like that. It was fun. And, they have different activities for people that have difficulty remembering and they have beadwork, they have guessing games, and things like that. They've got good hairdressers, and the gym is super. They only have a two-choice menu for the food."
