Recent reviews of Memory Care in Ashland, VA
The Westmont at Short Pump Community in Glen Allen, VA
4.9 / 5.0

Overall, our experience at Westmont has actually been very positive. When our father transferred to a memory care unit, we initially did not think that that was a great idea. Very soon we realized that we were wrong. The nurses the evaluators really did a wonderful job.

Chestnut Grove in Richmond, VA
4.2 / 5.0

My mom's been there since July so it's been a short period but no complaints whatsoever. It's very clean, they're very friendly, occasionally there may be one person but that's just a personality thing. Overall, everyone's very friendly, when you come into the facility they greet you and they're very helpful. My mom just needs assistance with things, she's not independent, they handle all of the medications but my mother hasn't had any complaints and believe me she would tell me. My mom, believe it or not, is not one to go to activities, but I think she's slowly venturing out. She'll be 88 but she's not senile whatsoever, so I think some of the activities may be geared towards people who aren't so with it. They do have outings, but my mom, given the option, would chose not to go but I know they post calendar's of activities for the month and there's always something going on 2 or 3 times a day and the foods terrific, I'd give it a 5 plus. They say when you see it you know it and when I walked in I just knew it. She's had a couple of bumps in the road but they were addressed immediately and didn't happen again.

Arden Courts Richmond in Midlothian, VA
5.0 / 5.0

I have my loved one at the facility. We have been attending the monthly VCU brain health series being held at Arden Courts for caregivers and have learned so much about dementia. I have been thoroughly impressed at the layout, cleanliness and care I have witnessed at the facility. The staff truly care.
