Tall Oaks Assisted Living LC

I'm living in Tall Oaks at Reston Assisted Living now, and it's going OK at the moment. It's kind of a mixed review. The food is good. We haven't had many activities because of the COVID stuff. We have singing, movies, a little theater, and a library that has quite a few books. We have a chapel, and they have services there from time to time. They get some pretty good entertainers in here. We've got a new chef and she's very good. The food is good, and the service is good. I have a studio, and it used to be a room for two residents. Value for money is good. The building is good, but it's a little old.

My mother has moved into Tall Oaks at Reston Assisted Living. It's very good. The staff is very nice. They're great. The only downside is it's a rather older facility and the things inside it. They have television and entertaining aides. Her apartment is clean, and everything looks fine. Their staff is the best because they have individualized attention, which is important for the elderly.

I visited Tall Oaks at Reston Assisted Living. I thought it was very nice. Unfortunately, the room I looked at was smaller than my current room, and I can't go any smaller. I couldn't get my furniture in that, so she talked to me this morning, and she said she thinks she has a bit of a larger room that is within my budget. So I'm waiting for her to email me. The only person I talked to was the sales woman, and she was very nice. The apartment I saw was too small. The layout doesn't matter to me as long as it's large enough, but it was too small. It's a beautiful facility. We saw the front porch and it was nice. I don't know if they have a courtyard or not. They have movies, a theater, a little nice chapel. I had not seen a chapel in any other places that I visited, so that was nice. Their dining room was very large. They're able to feed people even with social distancing by having two seatings. Right now, I'm eating in my room every day. It's getting pretty old. What I did not like is that they don't provide linens, and they don't do your laundry. You have to have somebody else do your laundry, like your family or somebody. So I didn't like that. And the call button that you wear around your neck, at the other community they provide that for you. At Tall Oaks you have to pay $140 a month extra.

I spent a good hour with Tall Oaks at Reston Assisted Living and they didn't call me back. I felt like the person giving the tour was new and couldn't answer a lot of my questions. The rooms were nice. They offered a full schedule of activities. It was fine and I was considering it, but they didn't call back.

I loved Tall Oaks at Reston. It's a beautiful place with a lot of personality. It didn't feel like an institution. The activities and food looked good. The people were all happy, and I loved the staff. The staff who toured me around was wonderful. The rooms were nice, had plenty of natural light, and had as much space as any of these places have.

I have been with Tall Oaks for seven months now, and my experience has been excellent. There are plenty of activities ranging from chapel services to Bingo, and van trips to various places. It is a caring environment. The food is excellent and my wife loves the desserts -- they have a very good chef. There's a lot of space in the parking lot, and -- most importantly -- they let us keep our pets.

The director who gave me a tour at Tall Oaks was nice. It’s a nice, clean, and big place. The staff seemed to be engaged.

The staff are HORRIBLE!!!!! I've come there to feed my grandmother during lunch and dinner and the Aides would actually set aside pieces of cake for themselves and friend shrimp plates that were there for RESIDENTS NOT THE STAFF in the Dementia ward! I've witnessed that more times than I can count. The Staff I have witnessed tease a resident till she cried and called a resident "fat" and told her she ate too much. This was a head nurse of the Alzhiemers unit. I didnt report for fear they might take it out on my Grandmother when I am not there. I cant tell you how many times I have asked a Nurse Aide to take my grandmother to the bathroom and they told me they were "on their break". Staff also fought constantly with one another. With the exception of a Colombian Nurse there who was amazing and hard working, the other nurses and especially the nurse aides were just dreadful and mean to the residents. PLEASE DON'T LET A LOVED ONE STAY IN THIS PLACE ESPECIALLY THE "DEMENTIA UNIT"!!!!!!!
