5 on everything. What we like the most about the Dominion Senior Living Bristol community are the people. The people are fantastic their activities are great keeps my mom engaged the food is top notch they treat them with dignity and respect
Everlan of Johnson City is a wonderful place. The moment you walk in, you feel a sense of relief. It is a fairly new building that is only about 2 years old. They bent over backwards to help us get my sister in law in here. She just LOVES it. She said she feels like she is on a permanent cruise ship. The food is great and staff have been so helpful. There are tons of activities and clubs available for residents and transportation as well. The views are beautiful too. They don't have many studios available but we are on the waiting list for the next one that is open. If I was looking for a place for myself, this is where I would go. We are very happy with our choice and would highly recommend Everlan of Johnson City (but they are completely full at the moment).
Small, intimate and feel comfortable knowing what's going on with the facility/employees and other residents- I love the smaller and personal aspect of Brookdale in Colonial Heights. Staff was super friendly and personable. The size of the facility was perfect for our situation. Parking is horrible if busy or raining and you have to take your loved one out of facility
