10 Best Nursing Homes in Whitetop, VA

My loved one was previously a resident at Commonwealth Senior Living at Abingdon. The staff were friendly and did seem to care about the residents on a personal level, but they weren't all medically trained. The Activities Director was awesome. The food was very good. The cleanliness was okay, but could be improved. The price of this facility was high and the doctors seemed to order tests that weren't needed.

We chose Forest Ridge because it came recommended to us. I called several places and when I called this facility, they said they had nurses on staff and would be able to deal with any of his medical needs instead of just sending him to the hospital. They also said eventually when he needed hospice, they would come to him and he would not have to move. Every staff member from the time they came to my home to evaluate him to the hospice nurses were wonderful. They were always so supportive and I always had a shoulder to cry on if needed. They were always so helpful with anything that we needed, especially with financial questions about the VA. I have only good things to say about them and I would highly recommend them to others who are looking.

My mother and aunt are both residents of this facility and our entire family has been extremely pleased with the care and support they have both been given. The actual building is new, modern and well equipped but it's the staff that gets the highest ratings! Everyone, and I mean everyone, has gone out of their way to make our loved ones feel loved, safe and valuable. They all seem to go the extra mile and really care for the residents. Also, the residents care for each other. My mother is dealing with a terminal diagnosis and the staff has been so supportive of her and all of our extended family. We looked at many facilities and we are so happy that we chose English Meadows.
