"The Presbyterian was too big. Everything was so nice. I would be happy to move there myself, but she thought it was too big. The apartments were very nice. The security was wonderful. I thought that was great. "

"Trinity Mission Health and Rehab was clean. I would not have let my wife go back the second time if it wasn't clean the first time. The food wasn't a problem. As far as therapy, she wasn't able to take therapy while she was still on IVs. I don't have any problem with them or I wouldn't have gone back. I went with the administrator one time, and I talked directly to him. He even put me up in a motel for 5 nights. Trinity is the only one I still trust and I have no one else to recommend besides them. "

"It is a very friendly place, I just wish it were closer to a hospital. I enjoyed my visit to the center and would recommend anyone to check it out. It's a very cozy place and the seniors are encouraged to interact and play amongst themselves. "

"Food was generally good, PT/OT was amazing! Quick progress! Staff was very pleasant and helpful! Good communication with staff!"

"I was referred to the Laurels by my Orthopedist from Martha Jefferson Hospital. The therapist are the best around and the nurses on unit 3 are amazing! I am going to be having another knee replacement will definitely be going back. "

"My mother was in Albemarle Health & Rehabilitation Center for over a month. The rehab center did not work for my mom. She is 97 years old. When we put her there, we explained to her that she needs to work hard on the rehab part because she fell and broke her hip before. She did not take to it. She wanted to do it, but just did not have strength and she developed some issues while she's there like bed sores. They decided that she is not a candidate to stay there any longer, and they made us move her out to another facility. We were not going to leave her in Albemarle because it was so expensive. Most of the staff are fine. We noticed that they didn not seem to be staffed very well, and they did not have enough people to answer the phone or return phone calls. They have a very strict visitation policy, like zero visitations while my mother was there and we could not visit her at all. My mother said the food was fine. We were paid for by Medicare for her rehab, but to stay and live there would be $9,000 a month. That is pretty strong."

"My mom will be moving into Our Lady of Peace. Everybody was very helpful. We checked their menu, but we did not eat there. It seemed like a good variety with fresh fruits and vegetables. There are different menus that you can pick from instead of just having one thing. The place was not too big, which I liked. It was easy to get around. Their rooms are clearly marked. They had stairs and elevators, which is good. There also was a nice outdoor area. We happened to be sitting outside and started talking to several residents. A big part of it was their impressions of the facility. The place did not set it up. It just happened because we were sitting, and people joined us and started talking. The fact that people were doing that is a big positive."

"My wife is in Blue Ridge Rehabilitation and Nursing. I like the care she's getting. I like how clean they keep it. They take good care of her and take care of her needs. It's nice and clean. It's like any brick home. The grass is cut and the bushes are trimmed. Every place has trouble with staff and all, but I'm really happy with it. The staff is doing a good job taking care of her. The food I saw was excellent. They have the rehab room for all the machines and everything for exercise. If she needs to go to doctor's appointments, she gets a ride. They keep her room clean and the floors clean. I'm satisfied."

"The people who work there are very nice. I know they had my grandparent's best interests at heart. I thought it was cute that they had room mates. My grandparents got along well with their roommates and they were always happy to talk to us when we would visit. There is a court yard, which is nice, but it is rather underwhelming. It could be better maintained. The dining hall is probably the best part with its high ceilings and long tables. As nice as the people there were, I always wished we didn't have to put my grandparents there. The facilities are drab and just generally depressing. The wood panels and the fact that everything is brown makes it look like some sort of 1980's rehab facility. There are nicer homes in the area, we just could not afford it. it is a safe place, but just a bit depressing. "

"If you had to choose a perfect place to spend your golden years, Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge would probably rank as a top contender. This continuing care retirement community offers a full continuum of care, including a large assisted living component. Residents of Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge can spend their days enjoying a full schedule of activities or quietly relaxing on one of the outdoor patios, where expansive views of the surrounding mountains are almost intoxicating. This is a beautifully maintained facility that offers exceptional care to its residents, in addition to its location on a mountaintop just outside of Charlottesville.My mother was a resident at another assisted living community, and I took her to Westminster Canterbury to visit a friend, who had moved there after she was unable to live on her own. We were both overwhelmed with the idyllic location and the airy atmosphere that existed in the various building and cottages. On this particular day, the drive up the mountainside provided breathtaking vistas. On one side, you could see the town of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia campus. On the other side, you could see the gently rolling hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is a beautiful and peaceful location."Catered living" is the term that Westminster Canterbury uses to describe their assisted living services, which includes the 24/7 healthcare oversight, medication management, daily help with dressing, toileting, bathing and other personal need, and housekeeping and laundry services. Residents also have three nutritious meals in their choice of dining areas, plus an array of fresh fruit and snacks throughout the day. Because of its location, there is scheduled transportation to doctor appointments, as well as outings and other recreational trips. Living here is not cheap; you have a rather substantial entrance fee plus hefty monthly rent, so this is a place for those who have a considerable amount of savings.One of the best features about Westminster Canterbury is its sense of community. Every effort is made to camouflage that it is an assisted living facility. The nursing staff and aides dress in brightly colored uniforms that look more like street clothes than antiseptic scrubs. They are bright and positive and treat all the residents with love and respect.Westminster Canterbury has more to do and more activities than the average assisted living facility, including a fully stocked library, a beautiful therapeutic pool, a beauty salon, music recital areas and walking and nature trails, that are wheelchair accessible. The calendar of activities is also full, so no resident is ever bored. This is an impressive place for you or your loved one, on the condition that you have the ability to pay the hefty charges. That is the only negative thing about Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge. "

"I have been to VMRC a number of times. Everybody seems to enjoy it. I also have friends there, so that's the biggest thing. The staff is very welcoming, very nice, and very thoughtful. However, I need to get something near an elevator because the halls are long. The cleanliness is wonderful, and the facility looks really good to me. It looks like they have taken into account everyone's abilities. It's also near the hospital and a lot of my friends and family."

"I would like to say this is the best their is.
