My mother and stepdad moved into Dalton Place December,2013 after visiting other facilities. At first the transition from her home she loved was difficult but the staff and management were so accomodating and attentive. It was a relief to know that her physical, social, and medical needs were taken care of in such a supportive and caring way. What's so amazing is that the staff and management were so friendly and personable. The environment was homey and inviting. Mother enjoyed the activities and the activity director was awesome. Mother loved bingo and would sometimes miss it due to dialysis. An additional bingo game was added and was named after her. She affectionately talked about her transporter to & from dialysis and many of the staff. She became involved and felt loved. It was such a comfort to know she was taken care of. She had a couple of hospital stays before her death on May 29, 2014 and someone from Dalton Place would always make one or more hospital visits. It was also a reassuring to know that our stepdad's needs were met during her stays in the hospital. We are so happy that our mother and stepdad chose Dalton Place. They loved and took such good care of them. We are forever grateful to them for the relief we felt when leaving from a visit knowing that they were in good hands. Thank you to the staff and management for all you did for them and for us.

After checking around to other assisted living homes, my family and friends and I decided on Dalton Place. The staff treats my loved one as one of their own family. The staff director made the transition one of ease with the paper work, answering questions, and being available whenever I need assistance from him to date. The staff regularly checks and monitors my loved one. The Activities Director has so many wonderful activities for the residence who are able to participate in them. Dalton Place smells so clean at all time and that was a Bonus. My mother told me she is so pleased that I put her in her new home at Dalton Place.

When Mom was beginning to have loneliness issues at her residence in Florida, I moved her to Chancellors Village (CV) to be closer to me. The warmth and friendliness of the staff and her new neighbors was better than we could have imagined--much nicer staff and neighbors than her place in Clearwater (and they were very nice too). The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is attentive to her and my needs in terms of a safe, comfortable place and asking what else needs to be done and so forth. She is doing extremely well at 94. We just hope management does a better job next time selecting the vehicle to transport the residents--tough for a 94 year old to climb into that old bus--but Mom does it and often (really, really nice men who drive the buses and who really help her get on and off)!!! She takes advantage of the many trips and shows that CV offers in the area plus shopping. She loves getting out and CV gives her that option. Plus, we like having dinner there with her. Really nice dining area and everyone is just so polite and friendly. The staff all knows Mom by name. She likes that!!! Glad she is at CV. What a comfort!

After visiting and dining at other local establishments, I selected Chancellors Village for mother, later recommended to and now also enjoyed by our prior neighbor. Chancellor's Village is hands down the best independent care facility in the Fredericksburg area. Mom, age 96, continued her passions for music by joining the choir, her passion for gardening with prepared resident plots, and enjoyment of family by winning the Halloween contest with children from the surrounding area. That is just one of continuing programs that visited. Outings included trips to the wonderful Marine Museum, theater/concerts and the more casual - Yoder's Market complete with small animals. The maintenance staff showered immediate and continued support to make her feel welcome to the nth detail. A hand selected ambassador helped mom learn the ropes. Rooms provide the most bang for the dollar. Computer classes are not mentioned in the site video which tells more. Outside the dining room doors actual serving selections wet the residents' appetite while resident provided music is enjoyed in the waiting area. The chef catered to my visiting brother's sever health needs upon his visit. Not enough praise can be bestowed for his compassion. Space, food, staff, opportunities, setting, transportation, cost and resident caliber are unsurpassed. I'd give a 4.5 star recommendation if allowed. There will be no remorse if you stop for a visit. Bet you stay.

Everything can't be perfect, we know that, but it's good. As far as I know the staff has been a 5 to me, everything I talk about they've taken care of. My mother, she don't get involved in the activities as much as I'd like for her to, I think maybe later she'll get accustomed to them. They contact her everytime they have some type of activity, she loves bingo, but sometimes she'll play and sometimes she don't. This was the most convinient and the people were really helpful. As far as I know, unless something drastic happens today, everything is fine.

So far, sorta good. I say him yesterday and he's a lot better than I've seen him in a long time after they straightened out his medications. There seems to be just enough to keep him busy, there is a piano, so long as he has a piano somewhere that he can get to once in a while. I went to a support group there yesterday and a woman who was coming in to visit someone plays the flute so she played with him and he had a good time with that. He seemed more talkative than he had been in a long time and I could understand him. I had visited it before, it seemed pretty nice to me and it was closer to home. It's spotless, very good, they had a dinner a few weeks ago for anybody who wanted to attend and it certainly wasn't as elegant, but it was very very nice. It gave us an opportunity to meet with the nurses and the staff

Things went well when we put her in for assisted living, but the only thing we've come up against, which nobody told us is we had already had her signed up and everything, my brother in law is power of attorney over her finances, and they told us there was a $3000 non refundable community fee, she was adding it non chalantly like everybody knew about it and they just looked at each other and said they thought the other person told us about it. Everything else has been pretty good, my brother in law says they get your money and then they don't care about nothing and they don't give us attention like when we first went. I know she's satisfied there, she says she likes it and more people come to see her there, she used to say negative things to my husband and she doesnt say things like that now.

Considering the situation they're working with and the type of residents they're working with there's not much more activities they can do, so they're doing the best they can. Compared to the other palces I looked at, I thought they were more of a home situation instead of an institution.

We liked Manning House very much. It had a beautiful outside location which we thought my mother in law would like but it was more money than the rest of the ones we were looking at. We were trying to look for a place where she could stay long term but other than the price point, it seemed very pretty, we loved the location, we loved the place.

My mom has been living at Morningside for about six years. The staff has been great to her and the place itself wonderful! She's able to visit any of the other residents, talk with staff members or simply be alone if she'd rather do that. They have visiting church members come out and have service there, usually once a week, bingo, get their hair done and other activities. The staff will call a family member if they feel it's needed. They have three meals served daily.

I really liked Morningside but my mom picked another place. I was really impressed with them and I though that would have been a good place for my mother.

I chose this community for my mom because the staff really pays attention to the residents. They truly go out of the way to make the residents feel comfortable, wanted and cared for. They do have a library on site but could use more variety, currently have lots of readers digest type books. When I visit I don't see a lot of activities going on that are more stimulating then bingo, they could use a little more creativity with activities. They could get the residents a little more engaged in the activities. The location of this community was really good for my mother because she had been living in the area for over 50 years so she really feels comfortable in this community and has lots of support.

They have a friendly people that really seem to care and take interest in the residents. The grounds are maintained and have plenty of shade, the food is good I liked it when I ate their as a guest. I just overall refreshing.

Patients seem to be clean. They do a variety of activities with them.

Overall this is a wonderful facility that has provided great care for two of our family members. The staff is very caring and attentive. Our family members have voiced their approval. They have lots of opportunities to engage in activities with other residents and never complain about the food. It is s safe haven.

Bad bad bad Unfortunatley, they also own the other nearby place with memory care We are dealing with corporate greed/ understaffing here They pretty much control the market Better standards Strictly enforced /firings /here.

Forest Ridge is a very good place for a loved one to be took care of. The staff is very caring and compassionate. My mom is treated with respect as well as my family when we visit. My one concern is that my mom’s laundry gets missing or mixed up with her roommate. Even though that is an inconvenience, I would still recommend this facility to others. If I had to voice a concern, it would be that there isn’t a way to get inside unless someone lets you in and that could take a few minutes. Need to have a bell to announce someone waiting to get in.

The staff at Hammond Square has been really great! They are very friendly and will help us with anything we need. I appreciate how they truly care about the residents and love them like their own family.

The only real complaint about Arbor Ridge is the lack of food. They need to provide more options for residents. The room sizes and amenities offered are good.

The caretakers were very kind and attentive to my Aunt's needs. She really loved them. Auntie passed away in December.
