Recent reviews of Memory Care in Shirlington, VA
Forest Hills of DC in Washington, DC
4.6

My sister has lived at Forest Hills in the Health Care Center for a while. Before the pandemic, they had wonderful activities as well as great nursing care. In the pandemic they have done an incredible job to keep everyone safe, to figure out ways to have safe activities and/or virtual or safe visitation zones (following CDC guidelines). The staff is working under challenging circumstances and they continue to be kind, patient and deliver high quality care. We are so very grateful my sister can live in such a great facility.

Sunrise of Vienna
5.0

Mom has been in memory care for two months, with absolutely the best care starting with a hands on advocate approach from the Director of the Reminiscence neighborhood to her fabulous individual care givers. Activities each day are well planed, diverse and fun for residents. The coordinator is sweet and enthusiastic. A true friend to residents. The chef is fantastic . . . Mom says he makes "the best salmon she has ever tasted". Staff are trained to guide memory care residents with affirmation and love. The space is beautifully decorated and very clean. Mom feels safe and respected, I am relieved to have her so well taken care of as the dementia is a recent diagnosis. Highly recommend Sunrise of Vienna.

Arbor Terrace Prince William Commons in Woodbridge, VA
4.5

We chose HarborChase of Prince William Commons because they gave us a deal on the price and they provided my mom transportation to and from her dialysis procedures. My mom is in a private room here. The location of the facility is really easy to get to, very accessible for the area. I would recommend to others and already have.
