Community Reviews
A great place for us
reviewed on: 11/09/2021 by V ZDue to the shortage it can be hard sometimes getting used to the care givers due to the shortage and the new staff that come in and out. The meals are great and they have a top chef. They have lost the activity director at this time and they have not had activities for now but they are trying to find someone to get these stared and feel in between due to the loss of the director. This community is one story and has a really good homey feeling.
My cousin was happy here
reviewed on: 12/14/2017 by AnonymousThis community was good to my cousin the staff was good to her and to us. She enjoyed her daily activities. The food is good they had a main dish then also alternatives. I really liked Virginia Place the rooms were very nice and clean, building well taken care of, and staff extremely helpful. Unfortunately our cousin took a turn for the worse and is undergoing IV treatment for a bone infection. Doctors feel this will be an ongoing issue so with the pic line treatments Virginia place is unable to accommodate her.
My review of Virginia Place
reviewed on: 05/06/2021 by anonymousOur family was able to do an in person tour and we had a great experience. The staff member we met with were super super friendly, and very helpful we have nothing bad to say. However, we did not choose the facility just due to our loved ones health condition, they needed a specific type of care, and they are more active.
