We have some friends who live at Greenspring, and they're very happy there. It's huge. From some of the apartment areas and so forth, it's a real hike to get to the central common facilities. It's all indoors, of course, but you almost need a rest stop to get there. All of their units were kind of small, though. The staff was nice and lovely. They got everything, but they are spread out.

I have stayed at Greenspring Senior Living. You get good care there. It's closer to my daughter, she can be there in ten minutes from her work and her home, and that is very convenient for me and her. I also liked the activities, the physical therapy team was wonderful, it was well kept, it was clean, and you had your own, big, private room. I was very friendly with the staff, I got along well with them, and they've all been wonderful to me there. I stayed there for thirty days. They treated me ...

The people at Greenspring Senior Living Community are very friendly. The food is extraordinary. It's just amazing. It is beyond our expectations and it's clean. I've had friends come here and they cannot believe how perfectly clean it is. It smells wonderful. The greens and the outdoors are just immaculate and beautiful. We play Bridge. My husband plays golf in their golf simulator here. I do yoga. The gym is amazing with the different classes they offer. I also do swimming and they have over 1...

So far, I liked Greenspring. Overall, the community is fantastic. That is my number one choice for my parents because it is a vibrant, large, well-appointed community. A few years ago, they started doing renovation, and so they're cycling through their renovations. The cool thing is, on every door of every domicile, there's a small indicator that is flipped up every night at midnight, and if it's not moved by the door opening by the resident by noon the next day, they call to follow up. I love t...

My mother is in Greenspring. In general, for independent living, they do a good job. They offer a fair amount of services. They have a lot of options for meals. They have a good medical center. They keep the place upgraded and updated fairly well, so nothing gets too run down. There are numerous activities for people who like that. In general, I think for people who are still able to live independently, it is a good community. Our interaction has been fairly positive with the staff. My mother's...

I toured Greenspring. It was very impressive. The campus is very, very well maintained. The buildings are very well-designed and well-kept. The rooms are a little smaller than at other places but very attractive and very well-kept. I tried their food, and it was very good. As far as I can tell, the menu was very well-designed and quite varied. They have quite a few activities and their amenities seemed very well designed and very much an incentive. They had a very attractive indoor pool, a very ...

Greenspring is a very large community that gives you lots of options for friends and activities. They have a lot of dining options. They have a swimming pool. They have covered areas that get sun, but you don't get a suntan. They have a lot of parking and a lot of security. It was clean and maintained. There were maintenance people all over the place.

My issue is concerning the storage bins on site for residents. I had a suitcase in a relative's storage bin for a few weeks. When it was retrieved several small expensive items were missing. Blood pressure cuff, cell phone etc. The large items were still in case. There was a lock on the bin. When I alerted General services and security they could clearly care less. They said to their knowledge this has never happened. Who knows how many seniors are missing items that they don't even know about y...

I was visiting somebody that lived in a senior living community. Everybody was very happy, very cordial, and very welcoming. Food was good. We were just visiting a friend. I went there off of Fairfax County Parkway. My friend had her own apartment. The staff was great. The residents were great.

We went to Greenspring. It's expensive, and it didn't look that good. The staff was nice, the rooms were nice and clean, but for a one-bedroom and a den, for $4000 with one bathroom, it just seemed over the top. They gave us a meal, the food was good. They had an excellent pool, the pool was good, but everything had an added cost. The tour was great, but it was more than what we wanted to spend. The place was small for us. They were not telling you about the thirty dollars here and there, and it...

Two weeks ago, I visited Greenspring in Springfield. It was obvious that it was made to be very helpful to senior citizens who were having difficulty in getting around and to provide a lot of assistance to these elders that needed assistance. I personally don't need assistance physically but I know there are a lot of people who depend on the community to provide help to them. A lot of people were using walkers to get around and the person I visited had a power wheelchair that he uses to get arou...

There is a saying that if something is too good to be true it probably is. My mom fell in love with the physical location and layout of Greenspring. Everyone seemed so friendly and helpful during our tour and the move in process. However, the true colors of the administration were revealed when my mom experienced an issue with loud noise waking her up all hours of the night coming from another residents TV and radio. After trying unsuccessfully to resolve the issue with the other resident hers...

Greenspring was a very nice senior community for all levels of care, and it's very well run. My stepmother stayed there for eight years. The rooms were very nice. She had two bedrooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, and she had decorated it with her own furniture. She ate a couple of meals a day at their dining facilities, and the food was very good. It's well managed from what she told me. They had an exercise center and classes, a library, and activities that they can get involved with. It's a ...

Greenspring was very nice. I loved it, and it's a great community. It's a big campus with beautiful rooms that are very modern. It has everything and every activity you can think of. They have a number of restaurants and a lot of dining options; it's very self-contained. They have their own store, a post office there, a fitness center, a swimming pool, and a gym. It's nice and big with nice walking pathways. I like it, I'm just not old enough for it. The apartments are expensive too, because the...

Greenspring looked nice and they give help and advice for the residents moving in. They have a theater and they always give you really good food, but the apartment were small. They spend a lot of money on marketing. They're always mailing things to you about their events. They must have a hundred different clubs that people can belong to once they move in there. It seems like it would be a very stimulating and fun place to live. The people seemed happy and very friendly. It looked like a good pl...

Greenspring was very impressive. The person who helped me did a wonderful job. When she took us around, we interacted with other people who were staying there, and they knew her. It was a large community with a lot of walking, so there may have been some concern, but other than that, it was well run and clean. Actually, it would be the choice for my mom if she were ready to go. They serve three meals a day, and one is included with the plan. They have 50 or 60 activity groups, clubs, and movies,...

There's a lot to like and a lot to dislike about Greenspring Village in Springfield, VA. While the property is expensive and requires a substantial down payment with monthly fees, it does have a great deal to offer it's "Independent Living" residents. There are endless organized activities, clubs, special events, trips, special services, dining options, fitness, re-hab and healthcare facilities available. The "Assisted Living" section of the campus is an entirely different world and leaves MUCH ...

My parents were in Greenspring Retirement Community. It is massive, bigger than any other place I've ever seen, and it has many multi-level buildings. It's like a small village. The residents are treated nicely, and the staff is considerate, but the fees are absolutely exorbitant. The décor is tasteful, but outdated, and the fixtures inside the room are old. They pay a total of $13,000 a month for the two apartments, and they charged my mom a $7,000 redecorating fee to go from one apartment to t...

My parents live at Greenspring and they couldn't be in a better place. Yes, it is expensive, but as they say, you get what you pay for. My mother recently had knee replacement surgery and was able to do her rehab in the Greenspring campus in their own rehab center. Both mom and dad have severe mobility issues, and Greenspring home support has provided aides to help them get dressed, prepare meals, and pick up around the apartment. My sisters and I sleep better at night knowing mom and dad have ...

I'm surprised that Greenspring has not been rated on this site. Greenspring is one of the finest independent and assisted care facilities in the DC area. My mother was reluctant to move from her townhouse, but thrived when she moved to Greenspring for the two years before her passing. The facilities, staff and food are top notch. I found the staff to be compassionate and caring. The community is not inexpensive, but is worth the cost. My wife and I are not yet ready to move to an indepen...

Greenspring was fine. It’s a huge facility. Anything you want to do, they will accommodate. They have lots to do and lots of transportation facilities. It is just a huge place. Like I said Greenspring was a huge facility, and we were walking to see one of the units. You’re walking down this long hallway; it’s a big place. It is many buildings, and they’re all inter-connected, so that you never have to go outside. You can go and visit everybody, and I don’t know how many hundred rooms they have t...

DISCLOSURE OF WAITING PERIOD TO GET YOUR OWN MONEY RETURNED TO YOU. I put $1000 down to hold me a spot should I decide that I wanted to move to Greenspring Village. (This was over 2 years ago) I have now decided that I will stay in my own home and hire Caregivers when the time arrives that I need them. Last week, I called to say that I wanted my deposit returned because I won't be moving in. I sent a registered letter stating my desire to cancel the deposit. Guess how long it will take me ...

I think that Greenspring is very nice, the people are nice, and it’s a good atmosphere. I think they have one- and two-bedroom apartments. The one that I saw only had a single-bedroom, and it was very nice; if that’s all you want, and that’s all you really need. The thing that really bothers me about Greenspring- and I’m sure other people as well- is what do you do with the lifetime of stuff you’ve accumulated? How can you stuff it into one or two rooms? I guess that’s a general problem that a l...

You have to buy-in a unit at Greenspring. Upon my death or if I move out, they keep 10% of the cost of the unit. That’s their new policy now, so that’s stopping me from moving in. The atmosphere is nice. If you go to the dining room to eat, you have to do a lot of walking. The apartments are nice. I like everything about Greenspring except the long walk to the dining area from the apartment that I’m looking at buying and the fact that they get 10% of my hard-earned money.

My mother was in Greenspring, and the place was outstanding. They're on top of their game. They take care of their patients and make sure they have their medications on time. If patients needed to do physical, occupational, or speech therapy, they made sure they're scheduled. If they have appointments outside the facility, they make sure that transportation is ready for them, and even make the appointments for them. They're just outstanding. The room that she was in was hospital-like because she...

My parents have been living in Greenspring. The staff is friendly. They have a two-bedroom apartment, which is just perfect for what they need. They have a lot of activities available to them, but if you want to take a class, you have to pay for it. One meal a day is included with their dues. The people who live there seem to be very happy. But it's too costly. If you have to go to assisted living, that triples your price. They pay $3000 a month, and they get one meal even if they already haves ...

Greenspring is a very nice facility, and it is large. They have a lot of options for the residents. People were nice. My father liked it, and he is working on his final decisions right now. The rooms were very nice, and they have a wide variety of different floor plans available. They were very well lit, has a lot of closet space, and has a nice kitchen. In terms of activities, they did have a lot of activities such as arts and crafts and wood working, and they have some classes that you can pic...

While the direct care staff is generally very good, this can be "spotty". For Administrative staff, again a very mixed bag. Communications can be very slow and difficult. If considering moving in, please read the details of the "end-game" very carefully. In my mother's case a very large deposit was held for years. If you change care levels, you can be billed for both rooms until GreenSpring gets someone else to take the old room (you pay for the room and 90% of the services [that you are not us...

Greenspring was too big and overwhelming for me, plus it was also too expensive. It was one of those rehabs where you had to sell your estate to buy into it. I had a number of neighbors that had done that. They sold their houses and moved there. Also, one thing about these institutions that doesn't seemed to ever come up in the literature or description was that they were all focused on activities. They were focused on social events and activities, and I was just the opposite. I was a raging int...

We are in Greenspring, and we are very happy here. We have an apartment with a big living area, two large bedrooms, and a kitchen. We have never found anybody who is unpleasant and it is by far the best of its type in the Springfield, Virginia area. They serve three meals a day, and one is included in your rent, so we take dinner in the dining room, but we cooked our breakfast and lunch. The food is institutional food, and it is a very good, very varied menu; there are four major dining halls wi...

Greenspring at Erickson Living looked nice. There were a lot of activities and a lot of people to do activities with such as card playing, swimming in their indoor pool, and a lot of other things. I am planning to move into their independent living section. Depending on the size of the apartment you want, there are 19 different styles of apartments and depending on the one that you pick, there is so much space. The staff was kind of attentive, but the food, I hear, is very good and we did have l...

I was not impressed with Greenspring at all. The staff was rude. When I went there, I had an appointment, but they lost my appointment. I had a gentleman look at me and say, "Normally I'm not here on Saturday, but I'll make an exception, but we will have to do this quickly." That right there is a red flag for me because you're supposed to be telling me how great you are, but you're just showing me that you don't care about anything. I wasn't impressed with a place that expects you to pay out a b...

Greenspring is a very big place and it's very expensive. The few apartments that we visited were very nice and you can cook your own meals if you want to. They had a lot of people coming in to visit that day, and we took a tour at the premises. We had a meal in the dining room which was very good. It's a huge place they have a golf course, swimming pools, different buildings that cater to different levels of care for the residents. The place is very clean. They had a lot of activities to offer. ...

I'm very impressed with Greenspring. I visited this place for my parents, and right now, they are just on the waiting list. They showed us around and showed a number of different units. We also talked about the financial arrangement. Because my folks want to have extended care that lasts until they die, they decided to do buy-in to Greenspring. My parents also wanted two bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathroom and they happened to offer that particular model. We are actually waiting for that one to...

My experience was my first at a retirement community and they were much different than I thought. the Campus itself was very large yet the building set up was very tasteful and upscale. The fees for residency were around $20,000 a year which seemed very expensive to me but the quality of life was very good and the amenities offered were excellent and the community seemed self-sufficient and to some degree very self-sufficient. There were convenience stores as well as a pool, gym and a fully fu...
