Great Falls Assisted Living

The facility is user friendly to those w/ Alzheimer's : 1 floor ,4 neighborhoods , free range of a beautiful outside area and inside a gathering center and play area . The staff is giving , knowledgeable , and problem solving .

I think the facility is full. Any vacant rooms are filled in a couple days. There may be a waiting list now. The staff is kind and helpful , they make all residents feel welcome, and usually very upbeat with the resident and responsible person. Special occasion snacks and hors_d'oeuvres are very good!

My sister and I love the Great Falls memory care community for my mom so much the entire staff is so terrific. He care aids are like family. We feel blessed to have found it. My mom is very happy there. I recommend it for anyone looking for memory care.

My mom passed away the day she was supposed to move into the facility and never actually moved in. However, I truly loved the facility and I'm sorry my mom never got to experience it. I love the fact everything was on one floor and they could go wherever they wanted whenever they wanted without restrictions including outside. It was the fact that the entire community was on one floor so there was no elevators, every resident had full access to the entire facility so they didn't feel like they were locked or excluded and so in certain area they also had beautiful French doors leading to the outside where they can sit out back and it was fenced in so they can stroll and not worry about people wondering. It felt like home

I do not really have any experience with the food. The facility is very expensive (as most are). Overall based off of our experience so far, I would recommend Great Falls Assisted Living to others looking for memory care.

Keeping good personnel is a concern in all facilities. The Neighborhood Coordinator is first-rate. [name removed] returns calls quickly . She is caring and experienced. The facility is super clean due to excellent leadership from [name removed], always a smile on his face. The Activity Director (name removed) offers variety and effort. I would highly recommend this facility.

My loved one likes the food, and is very engaged with the activites. The value for the money is reasonable. I am thrilled with the support, that we are receiving. I would recommend to other families.

We were very nervous about looking for somewhere to go for my loved one. Here they made us feel very comfortable. We knew that my loved one was being cared for and watched. We also liked that this was all one floor so we felt our loved one was safer. The activity director tries to engage everyone in all of the activities. I would recommend this community.

I think the concept at Great Falls is great, but they need to be more specific on who is in charge of what because that is a gray area. If they were more specific in those responsibilities and roles, the facility would run much smoother.

Great Falls is a great place to be. The atmosphere and the staff make it a great place. The communication with the staff is very, very good. Some of the activities available include arts and crafts, games, and more for the residents to choose from.

For the most part everyone did their job and was friendly. The one person that you didn't get along with there, who was in charge of nursing decided that my loved one needed personal private care nurses, on top of the nurses for my loved one 24 by 7. The nurses on staff were to be taking care of my loved one. I had to let the community know that we would stop having the private nurses on a Sunday, due cost. My loved one died of COVID, and there were a lot of COVID deaths in this community. The health department stepped in to help clean up the community. If I had someone who was blind, I wouldn't take them there. They expect you to pay for private duty nurses, which is outrageous. This is a smaller community, and have enough people on staff to take care of patients. If they can't handle someone who is blind, then they need to say so, before you move in and pay the cost.

We were very blessed to have had our dad at Great Falls Assisted Living. The building and outdoor space is expanisve and perfectly designed with 4 neghborhoods and big walking areas for loved ones with dementia. The nursing care is exceptional and available to families and residents 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Activities run throughout the day to help promote memory, physical activity and happiness of each and every community member. Most importantly is the care, comfort and love provided by each and every staff member. It is clear that those working their have passion and concern for their work that far exceeds job requirements. There are many newer places with the latest electronics; but Great Falls has the most experienced loving staff providing exceptional attention to each and every one of the residents in their community.

I could not be more pleased with the community. We are so lucky to have had my father in a place with such loving and caring staff. They really do make a difference.

Great Falls Assisted Living provides a lovely environment indoors and out. The four neighborhoods offer a family setting. The residents and visitors can co-mingle. They can become friends with each other. The two private gardens are an oasis. Families and friends can visit with each other. The outdoor area offers walkways around three sides of the building with sitting areas. The landscaping is attractive as well.My husband has loved these areas. He told me that I found him a really nice place. The majority of the staff is very loving and caring. Most the staff is open to suggestions and accepting of criticism.

GFAL is an excellent, high quality memory care facility with a dedicated professional staff. My father lived there for over five years and was very well cared for every day. I would highly recommend Great Falls for your loved one suffering from dementia.

Great Falls has amazing staff. They honestly do care about the residents and what their needs are. They are constantly on top of what is new and what will help better the lives of not only their residents but the staff as well. The care along with the activities will better the life of any dementia resident. They truly know Dementia.

Upon the sudden death of my mother, my main focus in life was to find an appropriate facility to place my 90 year old father who was suffering from dementia. My goal was to find a facility that (1) met my requirements and standards, and (2) provided an environment where my dad would be safe and happy. The Great Falls Assisted Living (GFAL) facility in Herndon, VA, became the answer to my prayers. My family and I are so grateful to have found such is a warm, loving and home-like environment in which to place our father. The staff is outstanding; consistently demonstrating loving care and respect for all residents. The facility is beautiful inside and out and well maintained. GFAL provides a daily activities program that is fun, entertaining, as well as physically, spiritually, and mentally stimulating. Any time I have any issues or concerns, they are quickly addressed by leadership and the staff. All the staff, (leadership, CNAs, nursing staff, activities staff, cooking staff, and maintenance staff), interact with residents on a daily basis with dedication, smiling faces, kindness, respect, and a sense of family. Thank you GFAL for keeping my dad safe and happy.

I have been very pleased with the care my family member has received at Great Falls Assisted Living. The entire team is caring and concerned about each resident and their family. The facility is spacious and homelike, providing safety and a wide range of activities. I used to feel like I was on my own after years of caregiving but I have a team with me now.

Beautiful and very new facility designed especially for dementia residents. Lots of space for residents to walk around and explore, including all enclosed outdoor area. Also plenty of cozy community and sitting areas throughout. Family and visitors are always welcome. There are many activities for the residents and families and a support system for family members. Staff is very caring and welcoming to the residents and families.
