The only reason I am giving such a good review is because of 2 beacons of light. The first is the director of activities, Maria. Her presence has helped me to feel safe. The second beacon of lighti is the therapy team. They have been very understanding of my physical situation. These people have shown much compassion. I also include the maintenance team and thank them and those fore mentioned for what they have done for me.

My friend is a current resident while awaiting cardiac surgery following a hospital admission for sepsis, heart failure and a heart attack. I would never send a family member or loved one to this facility knowing what I know now. I had to call the OLC, adult protective services and the long term care ombudsman within the first two weeks of her stay. The staff has been unresponsive to my friend's request to have her adult diaper changed, did not have transport for an important medical appointm...

Envoy rehabilitation and nursing home at 900 Virginia Avenue in Alexandria, Va. is a total nightmare. My husband was there April 15 to May 7, 2022 following a hospitalization for a fall. The nurses and aids were unkind and unhelpful. Yelling outside the door waking him up and disturbing him. They didn’t greet him nor did they help him to the bathroom. It took 20 minutes to respond to a call bell. I needed to hire someone when I couldn’t be there. There was no daily care: teeth brushing, washing...

My friend lives in this facility - an accident of fate! He is a brittle diabetic who had a leg amputated and then COVID 19 hit and he could not come home. The food-if you can call it food- is often unrecognizable and is inedible. He is a diabetic but routinely receives starchy bread, powdered eggs, powdered mashed potatoes- and he is forced to either eat it and suffer the high blood sugar or toss it away. The food is inappropriate for any diabetic and his eyesight has become worse, his skin is w...

During COVID I received regular updates about infections at Envoy. My relative was in isolation but the staff made sure we spoke or FaceTime regularly. I appreciate the peace of mind.

My mother has been a patient at Envoy of Alexandria for a few months rehabilitating after she had hip surgery. I have to say that, other than a isolated issue, I have been pleased with the care that she is receiving. The nursing ,PT and OT staff have been attentive to her needs. The case worker has done a great job keeping me informed and assisting me in the details necessary to transition her back home which will be in a few days Thank you for her care..

My cousin resided at Envoy of Alexandria, she was challenged by chronic ALZ. She walked in there able to address all of her personal needs, and communicate her concerns. But within 4 months, she was glued to a wheelchair and unable to address any of her personal needs or communicate to anyone. She received inadequate care with her chronic ALZ. The staff spends most of their time providing the patience with medications, but I witnessed minimum care. Often, there was no one available to fee...

This facility is horrible!!! I have work experience in the nursing field so I know first had. My father was transferred to Envoy from Sentera Hospital in February. I went to to visit him the second day he was there and the condition he was in was awful. The room very small (it was a two bed room on the 2nd floor) The room was very hot to the point my father was sweating horribly and They had the heating furnace right next to his bed on high. Due to my fathers condition to where he can not talk o...

HORRIBLE PLACE!!STAY AWAY IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!! I was a bit nervous about placing my father here after reading some past reviews but unfortunately it was all we could afford at the time with the help of the insurance co. The facility is run down and sub-par in my opinion. It always had an awful stench, the temperature in the building was always rather high, the food was equivalent to that of the local county jail. The administration staff are very cold and unwilling to help out. The only positive...

Was there for 30 days, you can do better. The CNAs were poorly educated all mostly from west africa, rude and borderline mean. At least I could fend for myself but others less mobile were being ignored, I had to wait for over 2 hours once after I hit my call bell for someone to come. Nurses would leave premises regularly in middle of the night, so there was no one available if an emergency.

Online research suggests most skilled nursing homes are given poor ratings by upset family members. Envoy has poor ratings too. However, after learning online what questions to ask while considing rehab, a tour and meeting the staff, we chose to go there. Our experience was good. My father came for rehab. physical therapy was great, food was decent but the nurses could have been nicer.

This placed should be razed to the ground, preferably with the staff still inside. Imagine seeing your loved one taken there in their final days, to be shoved off into a corner and ignored. You try to call the phone in their room, but you get no answer. You arrive in the morning to find them fallen out of bed, covered in bruises, no call button to be found. You then summon the staff, who appear to absoultely not care at all. You request an ambulance be called, but the staff refuse. Ultimat...

I was discharged on August 19, 2014 from Fairfax Hospital and sent to Envoy, room 223 for rehab, short term. The lady sharing the room was a long term patient screaming not to be thrown in the trash. There was black slime on the radiator AC vents. One could see the springs of the bed's spring box as there was no mattress on the bed. When friends checked the facility, they were shown a clean, beautiful suite - what a farce! I was lucky - I called my son and asked him to take me out - they kept ...

Stay Away From this Place!!! Please listen to me!!! I put my uncle in here in May 2013, my uncle couldn't talk, he had a treak in his throat. I would come see him 5-6 times a week. Family would see him a lot. Nursing home always had a sour smell. My uncle started to look like he was getting depress there. After being there for a few weeks, he stop breathing and was revived. Was at hospital for a month when it was time to be discharge from hospital and go back to Nursing Home, my uncle put up a...

My mother was treated terribly in this place. She fell so many times, without having anyone to assist her. She was also dropped off in the hospital without me knowing of her whereabouts until an hour later. When the hospital were ready to discharge my mother under Envoy's care, no one from this facility answered the phone or were willing to take her back. I was told the next day that my mother was not welcomed in this facility because they were not as equipped to handle her...As a sick person!!!...

For the whopping self-paid fee of $295 per day, my parent was placed in a dismal, crowded room and barely received any care or attention. There are much better choices out there that charge significantly lower fees. If you truly love your loved one, look elsewhere.

I saw a lot of things here that I liked. The home is very, very nice and is I thought the patient rooms I saw were decorated nicely...like a home. More to the point, the nurses here are so nice to everyone and went out of their way to help me take my blood sugar because I became dizzy and light headed while I was here. They just took control, took my sugar, and gave me some orange juice to bring my sugar back up to normal. They all just fawned over me, and to be frank, I enjoyed the kindness.
