Chancellor's Village

Chancellor’s Village was wonderful overall, especially the person who showed me around, Vicky, the sales person. Their amenities were beautiful, and it's a beautiful place. At the time, we were looking for my mother and brother, but they didn't offer any two-bedroom apartments, so that was the reason we didn't go with them, but we probably would have gone with them initially. They recommended the community where my mom is now. They have happy hours, bingo, they have people come in to entertain, and they have trips that they take to different activities in the community like the theater and things like that. The dining area was really nice. Everyone that I met there was extremely nice, and I was greeted by everyone I walked by. The place smelled good, not old or icky.

I loved this place. Although we did not choose it because they did not have any 2 bedroom apts. Roxanne was truly wonderful, upfront and honest. This would definitely have been my first choice if they had a 2 bedroom apt.

Chancellor's Village showed me an independent 1- and 2-bedroom apartment. I was very pleased with the staff member who showed me everything. They spent almost two hours with me. I had seen their amenities and their dining room. They talked to me about the different activities, both onsite and offsite.

Chancellor’s Village is my dad’s favorite place and mine too. The rooms were wonderful. It was the oldest building, but it had very nice-sized rooms with a nice layout. It had the largest kitchenettes of the places we visited and had a full-sized refrigerator, which we liked, unlike all the rest that had the end-of-the-counter type. They had balconies or patios for all of their rooms and an extra storage locker room for each resident. Their meals were the best; their soups and everything were made from scratch and fresh, and you can tell from the quality of the food that it was not frozen or processed. I liked that they mix their activities up. So, let’s say, if you like Canasta, one morning it might be at 10 o’clock, and then another time it might be varied to at 2 o’clock since not all of the residents want to get up early and go to Canasta, but they can catch it at a different time of day that suits them better. They have lots of activities off-campus and on-campus. They had the happiest staff and pride in their facility. They wore little name badges that had numbers on them for the number of years they have worked there, and we saw so many people with more than 10 years -- some 20. The only thing negative was that some of these newer places had the bistros so they have these little areas set aside for residents where they could come and get a cup of coffee, some water, and snacks like they bake cookies or put snacks out there and the residents can help themselves. Chancellor Village had a long table with the coffee and the water with the fresh slices of fruit in it and stuff, but it was not really its own little area; it was just like near the dining hall. If they can get the funds in the future to be able to build -- even if it is not on the assisted living side but on the independent living side -- a little café area where people can sit and grab a cup of coffee between meals.

My 97 year old Mother needed assistance and care after she fell and fractured her arm. Her mental health was great. We visited Chancellor's Village and met with Sharon and Roxanne. They were excellent, super friendly and helpful even going to visit my Mother in her home. Within 2 weeks she relocated to Chancellor's Village to a one bedroom assisted living apartment. She is so happy and loves her surroundings, activities, food, the residents and staff and says she is spoiled. It cannot get better than that. Thanks Sharon and Roxanne and Chancellor's Village for making our Mother so comfortable and happy.

My mother stayed at Chancellor's Village for respite care. The staff was kind, warm, open, friendly, and went above and beyond for everything. I can't say enough good things about them. They were amazing. The place was like a cruise ship without the water, like she was on vacation. There were so many activities. She said the food was delicious. They catered to her every need.

Everybody at Chancellor’s Village has been very helpful with my mom and brother. My mom has been there for two years. My brother and mom are in the independent unit, but the problem is that he needs more help, so I have to move him to an assisted living in Connecticut. The rooms are nice and fine and offered as one or two bedrooms. Sometimes the food is good, and sometimes it’s not so good.

We’ve decided on Chancellor’s Village. It’s only about five or six miles from where we live. We have friends who mentioned the fact that they knew people up there. So we went up, and looked it over. We were satisfied, and in fact we're satisfied enough that we've decided to go there.

Chancellor’s Village has all the bells and whistles. Even the waiters are well dressed, and the women had their hair done. It seemed a little bit over the top. It was as close as the period of where my mom has lived all her life. It was on the top of our list. The rooms have a stove, washer, and dryer.

Chancellor's Village was a very nice place. They had an excellent dining area and a very good menu, and the apartments are of different sizes and were very clean. They had an exercise room, PT, and OT available, and activities in the afternoon like bingo, TV, and music.

I liked it very much. It is actually closer to where I live, and the services looked about equal to the other place I visited, but they didn't have a two-bedroom available. They were very friendly, and I actually know some people that have been in Chancellor's Village, so it came highly recommended. It's not so new, and the bedrooms were a little smaller but not a deal breaker. Then they had a little patio, porch, or balcony. They had some activities there, but they provided transportation to movies, bowling, churches, and other places.

I was looking to move my mother from her Assisted Living home in Florida to have her closer; after this past winter, I should consider moving down there instead. Last year, I made an appointment at Chancellor’s Village to speak with Lara, the Sales Counselor. She was amazing. After only about 10 minutes of questions/answers back and forth, I’m sure she realized that my mother could not afford to move to this area but she continued to answer my questions and concerns about handling my mother’s affairs long distance. She gave me some great advice and has even continued to stay in touch to see how things are going. Bottom line, if my mother could afford to move to the Fredericksburg area, I would not hesitate to move her to Chancellor’s Village.

Chancellor's Village was very nice and very impressive. We had supper there with some friends who are there and the food was quite good. Overall, the visit was a very good experience.
