Recent reviews of Independent Living in Potomac Shores, MD
Victoria Park in Woodbridge, VA
3.8

Management Staff is very professional and patient...much experience in senior needs and challenges. Maintenance request and response have been on point. Although, desire that the maintenance department be more focused in repairs so as to avoid repetition of the same job. Desire that parking be monitored more. Would not mind paying a fee for a reserved parking spot. Overall, this community is a good place to retire and call home. Very convenient for your shopping, banking, and spiritual needs.

Essex House in Tappahannock, VA
5.0

I moved my mother to Essex house in the beginning of October 2016 and have been very pleased with the service provided my mother. They have done everything in their power to make her stay comfortable. Due to the location, it has been easier for family to visit.
