Recent reviews of Memory Care in Alexandria, 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.

Arbor Terrace Senior Living in Lanham, MD

From day one of them literally rolling out the red carpet - Arbor Terrace has provided exceptional care for Mom …. Mom’s room is always clean and well kept - they keep the her in engaged with various activities (the staff recently got Mom all dressed and dolled up and I was able to take her to the ‘Senior’ Prom) and Mom seems to be genuinely happy ….. I highly recommend Arbor Terrace’s Memory Care Program

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.
