Dominion Village at Poquoson

I visited my great aunt last week and she seems so hapoy there. Definately well cared for. The staff were friendly amd even invited me to have lunch. I was hesistant because i was thinking it would be like hospital food. But to my surprise lunch was great! It reminded me of having sunday dinner at my great aunts house. Glad she is somewhere that she is happy at and that really love my aunt. Would highly recommend

Happy residents, happy staff, delicious food, home away from home. Walk in and feel the love!

I have visited the residents that live at Dominion Village off and on for years now. (my grandma lived there around 10 years ago) I loved this place then and I still love it now. I pop in to visit with some of the residents, and surprisingly enough I still to this day get to see the same staff that worked with my grandma! It was so hard visiting after my grandma passed away, but it's so comforting to see the same faces. When I miss my grandma I think is when I stop by, it's nice to have a "second family" I can reminisce with. There are so many places your loved ones can move to, but I don't think any other nursing home really gives you a welcome home type feeling like Dominion Village does. my grandma called it home and I to this day, still feel like it is a second home to me. That means a lot to me.

I moved into Dominion Village 3 years ago. It was very hard to leave my home, but my daughters thought it was best and I knew they were right. The staff welcomed me with open arms and became a new addition to my family. I've seen lots of changes over the years and we've had ups and downs, but the staff have always shown me the love I needed to make me feel at home. They have had changes in management recently and that was scary for myself and the other residents who are now my close friends. Change is usually always scary but the staff and new management have made sure it was an easy transition. The new management team, isn't really new, because they have been caring for us for years and it didn't surprise me when I was told about their promotions. It has been refreshing to have all the ladies in the offices coming around to check on me, and ask about my day or just talking with me when they bring the mail to my room. I know they are working hard and are very busy, but I've never felt like they didn't have time for me. When I have a concern, it's reassuring when they stop to listen and provide support that only a small facility like this could offer. I love all my girls that work here. It's comforting to always be surrounded by people who you know care and love you and work so hard to go above the basics and care for me like I want. Just as they do for all my friends that love here.

I frequently go into Dominion Village, to visit loved ones and my friends loved ones. the building itself is an older building as it's been here for as long as I can remember. But the care that the staff there provides is unlike anything I have ever seen elsewhere. From top to bottom all the staff care about all the residents and the residents families. It is family. I've had family and friends both as a resident there and it truly does turn into home. Its hard to leave your home to move into an assisted living, but somehow the staff at dominion village make it easier but helping you and your family adjust to your new home

Dominion Village at Poquoson's facilities were a little older, in more disrepair, and depressing. I just didn't feel that their Alzheimer's unit would have been the right place for my mother because people were just lying around, and they weren't making any effort to engage any of the residents that were there. I wouldn't pay what they wanted due to the kind of rundown state of the facility. But the entry is beautiful, the people we talked to we were able to talk to wonderful, and I like what seems to be the care that they had in terms of having a chef prepare the meals.

The first thing that I noticed about Dominion Village of Poquoson which I did not care for, was the lack of security. There was no monitoring for people coming in and out. We stood in the front foyer for a good 30 minutes and nobody even paid attention to us. We could have walked around in that building anywhere we wanted to. No sign-in and sign-out policy. There was an elderly resident in the front area in a wheelchair who had been out, trying to enjoy the day. She was the only person I saw who was out. When she wanted to come back in, she was stuck and we tried to help her with her wheelchair. None of the workers there stopped to help her. I also didn’t like that their meal times have a limited one hour time frame. The facility had a dark and definitely, an old feel to it instead of a bright and light atmosphere. It didn’t have a lifting atmosphere.

Dominion Village was clean and well kept for its age, but it was definitely old. It was clean. The people that I talked to were very nice and accommodating. I thought they understood that their facility was older, but I do believed that they tried to give good care. The rooms were small and the bathroom facility was the worst thing because it was the old bathroom facility and was not easy for handicap and wheelchair's accessibility. My dad would definitely not accept the oldness of the facility, but barring that I would definitely considered them. If the people were okay with small and old room, I would recommend them.
