6 Independent Living Facilities near Boones Mill, VA

I would tell a friend, it's a very warm and welcoming community and the staff do try and get to know their residents. My dad didn't participate in any of the activities but they tried, and I appreciated that. It's a great place! People do need to understand that as their loved ones needs change, and level of care, that they may not be able to stay there-as was my fathers experience.

My mom and dad needed separate living, as Dad is incontinent and has increasing dementia, and Mom was not physically able to see to his needs 24/7, as required. This was the best fit for them. The rent for a small apartment and a memory care room is very high, however, almost double the cost of a two bedroom apartment in other facilities. The staff are super nice, but the RN is not on call at night, and extraordinary (though not real emergency) medical needs must be handled by an ER visit. The facilities are very nice, and overall the experience is much like living in a nice hotel. The memory care unit is bright and clean and comfortable, and the staff are very good with the special needs of their residents. It is excellent for my dad's needs, and my mom can spend as much time with him as she likes, often eating her meals with him. The same company provides physical therapy for him, and his strength and abilities are greatly improved. We think Salem Terrace was the best solution for my parents' particular needs, and fortunately they can afford it. Had it been possible we might have paid less for them to live in one apartment elsewhere, with comparable services.

Very clean cheerful place Good care Food could use a little umph
