The Best Nursing Home Communities in Middlesex County, VA

"I was looking mostly for independent living, and that's the focus at Rappahannock Westminster Canterbury. There's more independent living than others. It's not assisted living with a few independent living stuck on. It's more independent living with assisted living, nursing care, and memory care added on. I just visited there recently, and I have visited some other places, but that was the one I liked. What I like about them is that they offer a lot of programs and activities for people who are still independent. There are also a lot of different living options even within the independent living category. They offered us lunch, so we had lunch there during the tour. The building was very up-to-date. It was well taken care of, it was warm but modern, and it was very clean. They have a library, a gym, and an indoor heated swimming pool. They have a lot of different craft rooms, hobby rooms, and outdoor areas like the outdoor gazebo. There are even walking pads. There are several different rooms in the gym, where one is a weight room and one has different machines. They also have exercise classes."

"I would not recommend Riverside Convalescent center, it’s not very clean, and the odor was horrible. They don’t keep the patients clean. The left side of the hall was horrible, and the odor was sickening; however, the right side of the hall was not too bad. "

"I chose Walter Reed Convalescent & Rehab because they have a very good memory care system. We toured the place, everything came out really nice, and they had some very good people there. My mom is happy, healthy, and doing as well as can be expected in this community. There aren't very many amenities and activities since these people are quite far along in their dementia and their mental state doesn't allow for much. But they're kept clean, their rooms are neat, and the food is good. They're good about taking care of people. They feed them, make sure their diapers are changed, and the place doesn't smell. It's just a small unit, but there's quite a few nurses, so everybody kind of has their own person. When you walk around, the main door can't be opened unless it's from the outside, so it's very secure, plus they have ankle bracelets. The place is a nice brick building and it's well-heated and air-conditioned."

"We are all adjusted at Sanders Senior Living Community. My parents have been there since April, and we're very happy with it. It's an amazing facility. It's been fantastic. The staff has been amazing, and the administration has been amazing. The onsite physicians have been right there to take care of every need. My parents love the food. It's just a wonderful facility, and I would recommend it to anybody that needs a place for their parents for assisted living. They lost their main chef the first week my parents were there, and they're trying to get that back together. Most places you walk in and there's always a certain smell, but this place is clean, smells fresh, and just topnotch. I've seen the activity list for the month. They always have it posted and there's always something for them to do. Assisted living is expensive, so it would be great if it would be a little bit cheaper than what it was, but it is what it is."

"When my brother moved from CT in 2010 into a Windsor Meade Villa, it left my 97 yr.old mother alone in her CT home of 60+ years. We were fortunate enough to move her from there into an assisted living apartment at Windsor Meade. We found a caring and supportive staff and were able to personalize her apartment so that it felt like home. The public rooms were spacious and well decorated and offered views in all directions. There were just enough activities to keep her occupied and medical help and physical theraphy were readily available. The food was nicely prepared, although some portions were too large for her. Independent Living residents came and read to her and took her to activities. She was also able to go to the main dining room for Sunday Brunch with my brother and with my family when we visited. Her quality of life in her final 3 years was excellent. Our experience with my mother, and reports from my brother encouraged us to move into a Villa the minute we retired. This has been an excellent experience for us since 2018. "
