Nursing Home Communities in Sterling, VA

"I had gone to see Falcons Landing. It was a wonderful facility. They are so good that they don’t have any availability. It is a very classy place. "

"My friend is in Dulles Health & Rehab Center. The place is very, very clean. This is probably the cleanest one that I've been to. The people are very nice. It's very easy to get around the space. I've only been there once, but my first impression was it's very a nice place. The staff members are very attentive. My friend wanted to walk to his room, and one of the girls noticed that it was still a long walk, so she came with a wheelchair, which he appreciated. He arrived just after dinner, so they made sure they grabbed him dinner so he could have something to eat as well. They were just very attentive and right there, as soon as you walked in, you were greeted by a nice gentleman right up front. I saw a rehab room, it was very spacious, and it had a lot of rehab equipment in it. The building itself is very nice. They have wide open spaces which I find to be nice. It is in a nice setting. The back window opens right in the back, so you can see the trees and the little park area, so it's nice."

"Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Northern Virginia is like the gold standard. My aunt was there for 10 days, possibly two weeks at most. It's an amazing facility. It was very clean. The one caseworker I had a year ago was not great. I requested the change, and so I had a different one, and she's amazing. They did a great job with therapy. They monitored her carefully when she got a UTI. They had actual doctors. I got to talk to doctors while she was there. She had a large room. They accommodated her palate when she wasn't gaining enough weight. They worked with her and a nutritionist to find things that she would enjoy eating. They even gave her a protein ice cream just to make sure that she was getting what she needed. They were very organized and very detailed. We had copies of everything that she did. She knew when they were going to come and pick her up, so she could be ready. They take such good care of the patients there. With the exception of that one case manager, everybody was amazing and super helpful. They even trained us, the family, on how to safely help her from a chair into a car or from the wheelchair to the bed. They educated us. They even gave me a book on chemical brain injuries, so I could understand what she was going through. It really is like a magical place. The therapy room was massive, and everything was clean. It never smelled. They had a dining area, but they did not have activities and stuff because it was only for shorter stays."

"The staff that I have interacted with are all extremely polite and caring and know how to handle the residents. The food is delicious as they were kind enough to feed us when we came to visit. I really like how the entryway is all painted to look like different outdoors spaces and one nook has the sounds of birds playing near a bench. The only negative thing that I can think of is that the air conditioning unit in my grand mother's room was not working when I last visited. I assume that it has since been resolved. "

"I was a patient for about three weeks. I found the facility to be clean and uncluttered. The Physical and Occupational Therapists were very good and made sure that I was doing my exercises correctly. They are very professional as are the rest of the staff. I found everyone to be very friendly and caring. I received my medications on time without fail and always with a smile. I felt like I was a family member. The food was excellent. I can't emphasis enough how friendly everyone was. If I had any concerns, it was taken care of immediately. I would highly recommend Manor Care Potomac for your rehabilitation needs."

"My friend stayed at Inova Loudoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for over a month. They were trying to get her to be able to walk again. As a rehab, it was nice. They had all the services that my friend needed at the level she needed them. The food was good. They would bring the food to her. Everything was good about it. The therapy appeared to be good. It wasn't successful, but they gave it a shot. They did physical therapy with her pretty much every day, trying to get her to be able to walk. As best as I can tell, as a nonmedical person, they seemed to be doing a good job. Things were a little bit dated, but other than that, it was a nice facility. It's not a cheap place. She has insurance that paid for the first month. Then after that, she had to pay. They have a nursing facility above it, but my friend was in the rehab portion. It was expensive. If my friend could afford it, she would go back there."

"The entire staff is very professional and kind. They treated my mother very well. I was very impressed by the attention they gave her. The administrative staff kept in close contact with me and were always very responsive whenever I called. They were very thorough and forthcoming about what to expect. The nurses and CNAs were very good. The rehab staff was excellent and really worked with her to help condition her toward full recovery. My mother can be very picky and difficult to please, and the staff did a wonderful job accommodating her. The dietician made great efforts to provide her with her specialized needs, and he paid close attention to her preferences. My mother was not happy to have to share a room, but I believe this is the norm for patients on Medicare. Overall I was very happy with the whole experience, and I believe that Heritage Hall did as well as any facility could have done in this difficult situation. "

"My parents were in rehab in The Village at Rockville. It's a great place, lots of staff, very well run, but way too many people. It's a huge place. They love the food there. They had tons of activities during pre-pandemic. They have six floors. If they for any reason had to go back, that's my choice would be in Maryland, to put them back there. It's ten minutes from my sister's house and five minutes from the hospital."

"My mother-in-law went to Shady Grove Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. She was only there for three weeks. It was very clean. They looked like they were pretty well-staffed. Because my mother-in-law was a bit of a danger to herself with a lack of safety awareness, they ended up having to do 24/7 nannies there, so I was grateful that they were putting those things in place. They brought some things to us that we're kind of like, 'Okay, we can use this going forward.' They're ideas and how to handle things. Overall, they were really good. They didn't take 'no' as a quick answer to not do therapy. They just said, 'Okay, it's time for therapy,' and they would just take my mother-in-law and go. So my mother-in-law was getting physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. They would either come to her or she would go to wherever it was. And she seemed to be starting to improve. However, some of the medications she was on started having other issues, and so she started the downfall of her memory even further just because she started with hallucinations and stuff. But overall, the staff was fantastic. And it's a very clean facility. If I could have kept her there, I would have. The facility was nice and beautiful, too."

"I would give Fairfax Nursing Home a high rating and that would be my first choice for my mother. I just noticed everyone seemed happier there at the time of my visit. They had a little breakfast room that had nice and comfortable furniture. Their rooms seemed to be spacious. We spoke to the person who gave us the tour and she was very good. What I like best about this place was that it did not smell. "

"Great place and wonderfully professional staff to entrust your love ones care to. Best nursing home in the area. Very clean and smells good. "

"I have very high regard for The Virginian. My wife stayed in their skilled nursing facility for about 50 days. The service was good and the meals were terrific. They fed my wife along with the other residents of the skilled nursing facility the same menu as the residents who were fed on independent living and assisted living areas of the facility. The staff was outstanding. They published a calendar of activities and brought them to my wife's attention, but there was no interest. The pricing seemed to be not that bad compared to other senior facilities. I would rank them very highly on the cost side. Given the pricing information on what it would cost, it seemed competitively pretty good. A woman by the name of Lorna, who manages one of the wings of the skilled nursing facility, went out of her way on the day of my wife's discharge from the hospital. This lady kept her office open till about 7:15 in the evening to ensure that my wife could be fully checked in. But that was just one of many, many five-star things that the skilled nursing facility did for my wife while she was there."

"My mother was a resident at Iliff Nursing Home for 61/2 years. I am so thankful that she was well taken care of. The staff became her family away from home. They made her feel special. It is true that sometimes the response from the nurses/nurses aids weren't as prompt as we would like it. However we have to remember that they have a very though job taking care of all their patients that are all incapacitated. The staff is adequate and caring. They have lots of activities that my mother used to enjoy . She had the best medical care and I was kept well informed. After a two day stay in the hospital we were told that she needed to go into Hospice care . We decided to take her back to Iliff so that she could be among her own surroundings. She passed away peacefully 11 days later. On my many visits I interacted with some residents and I got positive feedback. I have visited people in other nursing homes and I will say that Iliff is in the top of my list. "

"The staff are attentive and caring. When you press the call button, they actually show up. There are clear procedures in place. The staff are proactive in contacting you with updates. We were provided with a list of all department heads and contact information on the first day. They have been responsive when I contact them. The facility is older but fine for a short term stay. The meals are not bad for hospital fare. The portion sizes are adequate. There are alternative options if the patient doesn't want the daily menu offering."
