I would say it has been overall a very positive experience for my uncle and I would choose it again after him being there for a few months now.

Guardian Place in Richmond, VA

We recently moved to Richmond. Guardian has been wonderful for our Mom. She is very happy there. Caring management and fast friendly attention to unavoidable maintenance.

Petersburg Home For Ladies

This is my first experience with assisted living as far as Alzheimers and from the various places I visited, this is by far the best place I saw, even halfway done you could see it was better. They have been great, there's only 9 patients on that wing right now, they're doing a good job. There's some issues, but i think that's with any facility, but they address it, they're very responsive and fix them quickly. They have been really wonderful to work with. I know my mother, when we took her there she wasn't doing anything but sitting in a chair watching tv, she hadn't taken a shower in 10 years (she was getting sponge baths) and they've gotten her in the shower; she has a walker but wouldn't use it and now she's walking around with it, she loves the food, shes a good cook so thats a big statement for her to make, they've got them doing puzzles and crafts which she never does, shes sort of like the den mother keeping them all together. It's been a big turn around for her and such an improvement in her quality of life. I also like that the staff wears white, it gives it more of a professional feel so you know who the staff is because a lot of times they're just wearing regular clothes with name tags so you're not sure who works there.
