10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Amherst, VA

My Mom moved into Heritage Green Assisted Living in January, 2019 and has been very satisfied there. I have been very impressed with the staff and how they care for the residents. There is always some type of activity going on that Mom can participate in to keep herself occupied. The facility is clean and the meals are excellent. Mom has actually gained weight since she has been there which is a good thing. The move into Heritage Green has been a very good experience for all of us. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for an assisted living opportunity.

We moved my father into the memory care unit a little over a year ago. They took very good care of him until he passed the Saturday after Thanksgiving. In March/April it had become clear that my Mom was not going to be able to remain at home alone, and she moved into the Assisted Living wing. Mom liked the AL and settled there, but in the fall she caught COVID for the first time, which exacerbated her dementia. At the staff's recommendation, we moved her into Memory Care. She couldn't move in with Dad because by then he was mostly uncommunicative, so she went to a different wing. She's done very well there and has settled in. The place is quite clean and the staff friendly and caring. The food is excellent, and whenever we've visited the residents are all up and dressed, clean and groomed. I would highly recommend it.

I received a phone call about my father falling and I was out of town. He is a high fall risk. It did not surprise me that he had fallen due to this. I was not as concerned as I should of been. When the offer was made to send him out to hospital for further evaluation. I did not take it seriously due to he always falls. The Nurse on duty was very understanding of my situation and encourage the hospital visit. She stated that the facility policy when sending someone out is to call over to the hospital and give a report. If the Hospital had any questions they would call over to the facility or me. That staff would call over there and check for updates on his progress and keep me updated as well. I was so grateful for her support and glad I sent him over for he did need further medical attention. I am so glad the staff was on top of things. I have no clue what I what I would of done without them.
