Testings are conducted at the nursing home and of now there are no suspected or confirmed cases of the coronavirus. The nursing home is following the guidance of the CDC and the Virginia department of health.Every Wednesday during the health crisis you can call 757-886-6046. I am very happy with the care and attention my father is receiving at St Francis."

"My mother is happy and participates in all of the fun activities. The staff is caring, and answers all of my questions when I have them. EVERYONE that works there knows how to work with seniors "

"My husband is at Warwick Forest Retirement Community. He is considered to be in specialized nursing care and I have found them to be very caring and supportive to the family. The food is excellent. It's always immaculate when I've been there. There's always plenty of staff. Even with my husband's room, they've kept it immaculate. They have constant activities going on every day of the week. I think I pay twice as much as I should, but I have no choice. The facilities are all in the same price range, so no matter where you put your loved ones, you will be paying the same amount."

"I had visited my uncle quite often at Regency Health & Rehabilitation Center. For a nursing home, I suppose it was fine. He was a younger person. He was just physically incapable of taking care of himself, but he was mentally fine. It was more designed for people who were mentally unable to make decisions and cannot really think for themselves. He did not like to be there and he had no one to talk to. He was very dissatisfied with it. It always looked clean and it always seemed to be clean, but there was always a smell in the air. As far as nursing homes go, it was probably just as good as any other. The rooms were of good size. There were usually two people in each room and each had their own bed. They can have a television. "

"Sentara Nursing Center is clean with nice rooms. It has real hospital beds, not the cart things that my mom sleeps on at her current facility. "

"I have a friend who is a resident at Coliseum Park. The staff is efficient. They are cordial and make a special effort to provide a good living environment for clients. "

"My husband is now in York Convalescent. The staff and the nursing are excellent. They really seem to connect and show that they care, like it is not just a job. We’ve been to sister facilities, and the nursing staff is always great. The administrators at some of the other ones have not been as nice, but York is amazing. It is very clean and very nice. "

"The staff is nice. I guess they're understaffed because my loved one called me twice telling me they had rung the he'll 3 times and no-one had come to they're room."

"We chose Riverside Healthy Living Community Smithfield based on the recommendation of friends and a few nurse's aides, and their review from U.S. Health. It looked like their information was good, and my dad seems to be happy there. My dad's biggest thing was that he says the food is excellent. There's actually an issue pending there. My dad was in the nursing care facility part so he wears a diaper. Unfortunately, he was not monitored for his urine output, so as a result he wasn't urinating, and no one knew that, so he was rushed to the hospital for other symptoms, but it turned out to be a new condition my dad was having. So I would have to blame the nursing staff on that. We like the community itself because what happened was more of a staff issue. The room really looks beautiful. He pays $7,200 a month and my dad has long-term insurance which helps with that. I think that's about what everyone else is charging."

"My father was at Bon Secours for 20 days. It's a great facility, and once we worked everything out, they were very good. We were very satisfied. Our goal was to get him out rehab, and that's what happened. "

"My friend stayed at this building for couple weeks. It is so much better than it was last time I was in there, The people that work there were nice and tried to do what they could. Building is clean and residents look good. It is not as loud as the last time I visited someone there. That was a while ago . "

"We put my mother ther after being in 2 other nursing homes in that area. This was the best choice ever and should have been our first. It was like family there. my mother got the rehab and care all around that she needed and is now back at home driving and shopping for herself. i go there on occassion to say hi to the staff and was there recently and the whole building is being remodeled it looks so beautiful. i strongly recommend putting your loved ones there......"

"I must say, compared to Autunm Care of Norfolk, Envoy at Thornton Hall, TH is a 5 star. From the star, the staff there was very dedicated to the care of my parent. Told us what we should expect and they delievered. The staff on blue hall was awesome, expect one lady(attitude problem), but the rest were polite, informative, pleasent to work with and serious about the care of my parent. My parent passed away late night, and I thank God that he was able to spend his last days at Envoy Thornton Hall, Norfolk, Va "
