Nursing Home Communities in Front Royal, VA

"I was at The Village At Orchard Ridge from 2016 to 2020. I've been there recently; I've had friends there. They had a really great exercise program and probably some of the best instructors I've seen. Now, of course, COVID hit and changed a lot of things, but I'm talking about prior things. Before that, they had a wonderful concierge, and the people were very informed. They had a gorgeous gift shop there. They had a beautiful pub and a dining area there. It's very, very beautiful there and peaceful. They have a lot of activities. They take people places on the busses. They put on plays, and they do all kinds of things there. They're very energetic. I didn't have any trouble with the staff. They always tried to be helpful. When I left there, the concierge, in particular, was wonderful. As far as the people in the office, they were always willing to help you. They were never negative. Their maintenance people in particular were good, and they knew what they were doing. The other thing that's particularly important, is they're very clean and very hygienic. They're very good about that. They have a therapy place for therapy, which is in a separate building, and they also have skilled care. I've been in a lot of places like that in my life, and that is probably the nicest place I've ever been in. It's a country setting; it's a beautiful setting."

"My family member has been a resident for a year and an half. I have been very pleased with his care. There are many truly compassionate and experienced staff. They have been very responsive and pro active to any concern or question. They have a great activity program for both residents and family members!"

"My mom stayed for a week after a stay in the hospital to have her physical therapy that was needed. Everyone was friendly, Patients included. Rooms clean. Staff stopped by often to make sure She had everything She needed or just to say hello. The physical therapist worked daily with mom and were impressed how well she was doing. They answered any of my questions I had and told me to call if I had more or any concerns. The admitting staff were very friendly, helpful and took many calls from me with later questions. Mom was quarantined so we were able to have window visits and bring her dog as often as we could. Thanks again for a great stay. God bless you all!"

"Compared to other nursing homes that I have been in Montvue is defiantly the worst. There is almost nothing for the residents to do other than sit in their wheel chairs in the hallway or in their rooms and rot. The place smells of urine and feces, so they obviously do not clean up their residents on a timely basis. Their food makes most public school lunches seem like five star cuisine. Some of the staff is friendly, but most do not even want to be there and treat the residents with disrespect. Most of the residents suffer from severe mobility issues or dementia, and it seems as though not much is being done to help these individuals. I have had multiple family members be submitted to this nursing home due it being cheaper than other alternatives in the area, but even though it may be the cheap they certainly do not provide a good enough service to even charge any kind of fee.

"My mother is in Oak Springs of Warrenton. I picked them because they have an Alzheimer's unit that has full care. This place takes beautiful care of her. They have medicines to make her stop crying. They bend over backwards to get her back to where she is actually smiling, and I love it. I love that place. It is very pretty. They have a garden with tomato plants for each different unit. They have rehabilitation, a full long-term nursing care, and full long-term nursing care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia. The floors are clean. The food comes in on a serving cart that they bring to the table. It is not pre-plated; they plate it right there while they are waiting, and nobody gets cold food. It is absolutely wonderful, and the set-up is unbelievable. They have activities like music, movies, and karaoke. A guy comes in and sings. They play something called jingo. They have 3 or 4 different churches that come in on Sunday mornings. Every other week, they have a black gospel choir that comes in about 2:30 in the afternoon. I witness it when I come in there, and my mother loves it. They just think of just about everything. "

"My aunt is at Poplar Hill Health and Rehabilitation Center. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. It's currently being remodeled, so the rooms and everything are immaculate and very clean. You walk in, and it smells like bleach. It's not dreary or dark. They have a lot of activities, and my aunt is not one to go out for activities, but they have encouraged her to go out. There's bingo. They have coffee and donuts, or coffee and cinnamon rolls, and things like that. It's a nice facility. It has that homey feel to it. Everybody's comforting. It's been a really good experience. Of all the places that she's been, this has been the best, and she said that she doesn't want to leave, which is the first time she's ever said that about anywhere. It is a positive environment. The first day I went in, I interacted with the main director of the building, not just the admissions person. I met multiple people, and they were all very friendly and very helpful. I haven't had to do anything on my own. Anything that I couldn't figure out how to do, they've been there. If you are private pay, you can get a single room, but because she has Medicaid, it is a shared room. I think it's been good to have the shared room because it kind of forces her to interact with people. They have shared and unshared rooms, but the remodeled area is nice. They've built the cabinets into the walls, so it's easier to get wheelchairs around the bed, and the bathrooms are better equipped than any of the other places to help my aunt get in and out of the wheelchair, like the bars to hold on to and the seats and stuff are a lot nicer. They are walking distance from the hospital, too, which is also nice. It's nice and almost brand new inside. Every single day, they give them a list. In our meeting, they asked my aunt personally, "Are there things that we can add to the activities calendar that you would enjoy doing?""

"E. A. Hawse was secluded in the countryside with very nice surroundings. The manager seemed to be on top of things. The staff was very friendly. The rooms seemed very nice. They had a physical therapy center, a community room, and they had someone there who does activities. The whole place was very clean, and there was no odor about it. It was just smaller, and they had fewer residents per staff. Locally, the E. A. Hawse has a very good reputation. "
