Recently, during a very challenging period and life-changing transition for a family member, we researched through over a dozen senior living facilities, and we were led to “The Devonshire”.
The staff has truly been instrumental with transitioning our family member from independent living and into the assisted living community. They have been so patient and accommodating with walking us through the numerous changes for all of us.
We would like to offer a huge “shout-out” for Michelle Peterson: Her professionalism, patience and genuine kindness are always appreciated! She has been generous with her time, while consistently remaining dedicated and fully committed to all of her residents.
We have been routinely around senior living facilities for over 9 years now, familiar with over 2 dozen. The Devonshire truly has a “home-like” feeling; it doesn’t feel like “just another facility”.
We thank you, The Devonshire staff family! We are a blessed and grateful family.

The Devonshire was my first choice. I had no problem as far as the facility and the people. It was bright and clean and the people there were very welcoming. I saw the people eating, and they seemed to be enjoying it. The rooms were nice and clean, but they didn't have much room for extra stuff. They had the facilities for you to wash your own clothes. They had extra activities and physical therapy. They had the studio, the alcove, and the one-bedroom. The young lady who took me around was excellent. The facility was very nice, light, bright and airy, and clean. There's just not much room for clothing and other stuff.

The Devonshire's apartments were modernized but some weren't and dated to the '80s. Some had recently been renovated. They were all relatively small. They had a restaurant, a room with some books in it, and another room that they used for exercise which had no equipment, just a walker and a chair. There's a little beauty salon which opened when the stylist came in. The people were very pleasant. They had a schedule of activities on the wall. There was a bus to take them to different areas for different things. The chef was very pleasant as was the lady who did the tour. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant.

The Devonshire Retirement Community could use an update. They had the same problem as far as transportation, which is just twice a week to the doctor. They had a larger menu, and they allowed people to eat a little more, but everyone had to turn up between certain hours to eat, and it is not accommodating; it is not how you treat grown people.

I was impressed with the interaction between the residents and the activities going on at Devonshire. We were given a tour of several different apartments with different arrangements and sizes, and I liked the rooms. Devonshire was older but well-kept, adequate, and modernized. They had a very nice lounge, gazebo, and patio. They allowed us to have a meal, and the food was very good. It was a very well-balanced, hot meal, and we had choices as to what to eat. My relative is happier, socializes more, and enjoys the food. She’s quite pleased with the staff.

The Devonshire, located in Hampton, Virginia, has been the home to my grandmother for the past 10-15 years. Our family is very close one and as a former middle school principal, my grandmother has a lot of pride and wanted to live in a place that would account for her dignity in achieving so much in her life. Her decision to move to an assisted facility came down to concerns from our family about her living in a large two-story house by herself and at the age of 75, the possibility that she could have a fall down some stairs or accident and nobody would be readily available to come to her aid. Like many people in that situation, nursing homes were a possibility at the beginning, but we felt she was capable of doing things on her own...just simply needed a little guidance. I feel The Devonshire has provided that. With activities such as board games, exercise groups and such, the community has much to offer for new residents to become acclimated. My grandmother's room has a couch, large television, comfortable bed and lounge and bath facilities that are more than adequate. The menu options for residents if they prefer are large and account for any residents with illnesses such as diabetes when creating a personal menu day to day. A courtyard gives residents the ability to chat away from their neighbors and in general, the Hampton area has an old-town feel that is welcoming to guests and family members such as myself who come to visit. If someone were looking at The Devonshire for either themselves or a relative, I would highly recommend it. There is a slight issue with overcrowding, but personal attention is not an issue.

The Devonshire was very nice and they were remodeling everything including the rooms and the restaurant. My friends who live in their assisted and independent living facilities both love it there and they said the food is good. They have a lot of games, they transport them to doctors' appointments, they have two meals a day, they clean your room once a week, they have a gym, programs, swimming once a week, a library, and a card room.

The staff at The Devonshire was very professional and very friendly. The appearance was very nice, clean, and elegant. We met some of the residents who were very sweet, friendly, and anxious to meet my mother. They had a nice dining room, a salon, on-site physical therapy, interim healthcare that coordinates temporary skilled nursing and home healthcare, a TV room, calendar of events and activities, and a beautiful courtyard. The grounds looked really nice. The apartment Mom will be in is a two-bedroom, two-bath with a kitchen that's been remodelled and updated. It has the wood-look floors and granite-look counters. It's freshly painted and has a walkout patio to the courtyard.

The Devonshire was very nice and there weren't any shortcomings. The person who gave us the tour was very helpful and had all the answers to our questions. The dining area looked good and reminded us of a nice sit-down restaurant. We saw the common areas and the gathering spaces, which looked very comfortable and bright.

I was very impressed with The Devonshire. I was greeted almost the minute I walked in the door by very friendly people. One of them happened to be their chef who was at the front desk and was a very nice gentleman. The lady receptionist was the sweetest she could be. They made me feel welcome. The whole appearance of the building felt clean and neat, friendly, and everything was in place. They had arts and crafts. The lady gave me the activity calendar, and they have so much to do every day of the month. They have kept in touch with me through emails.

I visited The Devonshire. The apartments were roomy, nice, and convenient. The staff was very nice. They had a nice dining room, and the residents were very friendly. They had activities, but not as many as the others. They had a hair salon, washers and dryers on each floor, and excellent security.
