My Mother was hesitant and resistant to leaving her beautiful home of 56 years and moving into an…read moreassisted living facility, but living alone with a part time aide became unsustainable and potentially dangerous. After a couple of hospitalizations within a month she elected to do a 30 day respite stay at Sunrise instead of going to a skilled nursing facility (nursing home) for rehab. Within a couple weeks, my Mom made the decision to move to Sunrise permanently. She loves the community! The staff and residents were very welcoming to her when she arrived. This Sunrise is on the smaller size, which was important to her. It has a family feel to it. She feels safe and gets the perfect amount of attention from the staff members. They are all very friendly and caring to the residents. My Mom has an apartment she loves, is walking much more than she ever did at home which is benefiting her, has made friends and is truly enjoying interacting with people her own age (which is something she truly missed and needed) and she loves the food!! 1

My wife and I were directed to Assisting Hands by a family friend and we were very pleased. Working…read morewith Brett, Jane, Eileen, and the rest of the team from Assisting Hands was great. One of my greatest concerns, based on interactions with a previous care provider, was lack of effective communication. I brought this up to Brett and his team during our initial meeting and he ensured me there would be plenty of communication. Brett and his team kept my wife and informed of all significant actions, and some not-so-significant actions, and it really put us at ease. Our previous care provider would often send me text messages asking how to do this or that for my mom. Assisting Hands, on the other hand, would provide me with notification when an important event like a doctor's appointment had been completed. I was thoroughly impressed with the genuine care and the professionalism from the management team, and I was equally impressed with the caregiver Assisting Hands provided. As our business relationship with Assisting Hands concluded (mom moved into memory care) I made sure to relay to Brett and his that my wife and I couldn't thank them enough for coming to our rescue when we needed it most. Brett and his team allowed my wife and me some much needed relief. I recommend Brett and Assisting Hands to anyone in Northern Virginia area.

Overall, the independent living care experience is a good match for worry free living. Yes, the…read moreentrance fee can be daunting for many, as well as the monthly fee. However, the meal plan and all utilities (even cable) are included, and are truly value added. They have various floor plans to choose from. Some do mention the lack of diversity in the dining menus, but can attest they do rotate and listen to the residents regarding menu items, but you have to participate in the surveys and meetings they hold. The staff are caring and friendly. The offices are accessible to answer any questions and any paperwork is easily to file. Online updates and robocalls also inform residents of any acute issues or changes such as snow storm plans or electrical outages etc . Healthcare wise: On site flu/immunization drives along with on-site health care with adjoining CVS is a bonus! They even have a visiting dermatologist, audiologists, cardiologist, & podiatrist in addition to primary care physicians. You do have to sign up for their plan to access their on-site healthcare, but pricing is reasonable and the care is excellent! Shuttles also take you on campus and off to sites such as the grocery stores, Ft. Belvoir PX/commissary, and the metro for example. They have over 100 clubs, garden plots, putting green, golf simulator, on-site gym with pool & pickle ball, and multiple restaurants as well. They also have home health, on-site Physical Therapy, assisted living and dementia care available as the need arises. Though they do their best to keep you independent and active.

Ms. Jones came to my mother's home and conducted a comprehensive evaluation of my mother's abilities and needs after a series of my mother's health emergencies. Ms. Jones was observant, compassionate, and very helpful in setting up a plan for scheduling in-home care. She gained my mother's trust which was an important step. A combination of my mother's improved condition, along with a family decision to ultimately limit the amount of care my mother needed, led us to eventually choose another path for the time being. Ms. Jones was more than understanding of our situation, and offered very helpful advice that guided our way forward. As my mother's needs evolve in the future, I can say that we would definitely seek the services of Envisage Care again. Thanks to Ms. Jones and all at Envisage who were so supportive of us during this difficult period. - Michael Lawrence Washington, DC

She contacted me right away on a Saturday night and took the time to listen to my needs for extended care for an elderly relative. By the next day not only was she working on a plan to make this happen, she provided me with other relevant referrals and resources I would need for a smooth transition. As it turned out, we did not end up needing the services at this time as another family member will be resuming care. But I have no doubt we would have been delighted with this partnership and should circumstances change, I know I will call Envisage Care immediately.

It presumes too much, even though in your mind you think you have a captive audience. This place is a huge beehive. The common rooms look lovely. At $5 K a month, they should. Everything else is college dormitory quality. It's basically storage for old people, stacked on top of one another. Look for a nursing home further out from urban cesspools -- further, smaller, more people oriented. This is just a business. NEXT !!
