The Colonnades in Charlottesville, VA
4.8

We moved to independent living at the Colonnades 10 months ago, after considering 5 other Charlottesville area communities. The residents and staff quickly made us feel part of the community; we have many new friends from varied and interesting backgrounds. Pets are welcome. The sense of community is aided by a wide-ranging program of activities and by open seating in the dining room. Residential options include cottages with patios and garages and apartments with patios or balconies. There is an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, exercise equipment, a large room for fitness classes and a library. Common areas include a sky-lighted atrium, game room, bistro and auditorium for lectures, movies and live music. The 59-acre site is half wooded, with paved and unpaved trails. The health clinic is staffed by University of Virginia physicians, and physical, occupational and speech therapy are available. Assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing are also part of the complex.

The Heritage Inn in Charlottesville, VA

My loved one is doing well here at this community. From what I've heard she is doing well. They are taking good care of her and her needs. The community looked nice and well maintained. They have a good staff, they have been good to work with. So far everything is working out well. It is a nice community with kind people.

This is an excellent community. The community has lots of activities to keep the residents busy. There are three meals a day served and there are choices to choose from. The staff are great to work with, and they are able to answer our questions quickly.
