"Friendly Staff and Helpful Service!"

Certainly! Here's the rewritten review in simpler language: "I like how the staff is friendly and patient. Sometimes it's tough to reach them because they're busy, but they've always come through for us. Make sure to get to know the regular helpers and share your concerns. Remember, there are many residents for each employee. Stay on top of medical questions and procedures—they've been a huge help with that.

"Mixed Experience at Paramount Senior Living"

I live at Paramount Senior Living in Fredericksburg. Overall, it's the best local facility for the price. The staff is limited, but they're doing an excellent job despite that. Housekeeping is top-notch. However, the food quality is lacking, with few fresh fruits and veggies. On the bright side, desserts are quite good. More off-site and in-house activities after dinner would be nice.

"Poor Communication and Management Attitude Ruin Assisted Living Experience"

This place was pretty clean, but the boss didn't tell us everything. I wouldn't tell anyone to come here. They didn't talk enough, and that was the worst part. They should talk more, and the boss should be nicer.

"Mixed Feelings"

Our family visited the assisted living facility in person. The tour was okay, but we couldn’t take pictures for reference, which left us with a less positive impression.

"Needs More Space and Color"

I talked with the Paramount director about some changes, and he agreed. But the place felt too small and like a hospital. Most memory care rooms are shared, and there's no color on the walls or space for residents to move.

"Friendly Director, But Too Large and Busy for Our Loved One"

We visited the facility in person, and the director was really friendly and straightforward with us. But for our loved one, it didn’t feel quite right. It was a big, busy place, and we were looking for something a bit smaller.

"Friendly staff but facility feels too much like a nursing home"

Our family went for a tour and met with a friendly sales team. We saw many rooms and got lots of info. However, we didn’t really like the community. It felt more like a nursing home and not very welcoming.

"Affordable, Friendly, and Clean"

I'd recommend it to other families. It's a small, friendly community that's generally clean. When there were roaches in one of the apartments, they took care of it promptly. The care services are excellent. However, my loved one wishes they had more food options. The small plate portions are okay most of the time. They offer quite a few activities. Overall, Paramount is one of the more affordable places.

"Paramount was our second choice after tour"

We visited Paramount and liked everything. I just found a place I liked more, but this was our second choice.

"High Deposit Surprises Residents at Assisted Living Facility"

This place was okay, but it looked a bit old because of its age. The physical therapy room was just like any regular room with some exercise equipment. The biggest shocker was the $3,000 deposit, especially when other nicer places only required $500.

"Mixed Feelings About Assisted Living Facility"

With Covid restrictions easing, we took an on-site tour. The building seemed nice and clean, but lacked the warmth and patient care we sought. It felt too institutional, and the location behind a shopping center wasn't ideal.

"Clean, well-organized, and spacious one-bedroom unit"

The tour was good. Everything was clean and well-organized. The one-bedroom unit seems to have enough space for us.

"Virtual Tour Was Basic, But Facility Looks Nice Overall"

The virtual tour was pretty basic. We saw a model apartment, both a studio and a one-bedroom, and they looked nice with lots of space. We also saw one of the activity rooms, but we didn’t see the dining area because the residents were eating. We’ve set up an in-person tour to check out the facility more closely. Overall, it looks nice, and the services should meet our needs.

3/5.00 Published 3 years ago

"Price Misunderstanding, COVID Safety Lacking, Food Quality Questionable"

Be careful about the costs; what they told us before wasn't what we paid when we got there. They should work on making visiting safer during COVID. If you're not too picky about food, you might find this place alright.

"Paramount Assisted Living Excels in Resident Happiness"

Our loved one is really happy at Paramount. The community is kept clean, and they've done an amazing job engaging residents during COVID. They have various games and a music corner where they can dance, all while maintaining social distancing. The staff members are kind and caring. .

"Elevators for Dining Room, Otherwise Great Care"

This place is nice and the people who work here are really nice too. The only thing that wasn't so good was that we had to use elevators to get to the dining room.

"Caring Staff, Clean Facility, Few Amenities: Overall Satisfactory Experience"

At Brookdale, the workers are really active in taking care of my family member. They've been super helpful in finding ways to help him. When I visit, I see residents doing some stuff, but there aren't as many cool things to do compared to other places. Still, it's clean, the staff is great, and I like it here.

"Fantastic care and improvement at Brookdale Fredericksburg!"

We visited Brookdale Fredericksburg and were so glad we did. The team was caring and organized, which impressed us more than any special offer they had. My dad even went home to get his checkbook so we could sign the contract right away, since Mom was getting out of rehab. Since moving to Brookdale Fredericksburg, Mom’s health has improved a lot, thanks to their fantastic staff and rehab team.

"Respectful Visit, Found Better Fit"

We checked out this place for my mom's care. Everyone was super nice to us, and the tour went pretty smoothly. It was a pretty good experience, but we found another place that suited our needs more.

"Wonderful Community with Great Amenities"

My mom and I are super happy with this place and the staff here. Everyone is friendly and caring, and it feels like home. There are so many cool things for the residents, like a movie theater, a game room with lots of stuff to do, and a cooking club on Sundays for those who love to cook. They even have special events, like an Elvis impersonator! Mom enjoys going to the dining room, and the menu has some good choices. There’s also a front porch with rocking chairs where residents can sit and chat. This community offers the best value with the most to offer. I also want to mention that my advisor from A Place for Mom was awesome. She learned all about my mom and what I wanted for her, and her follow-up was great.

"Decent Place, But Lacked Follow-Up Communication"

This place is pretty good. The staff I met when I visited was nice. They let you have pets and they even provide transportation. But I was bummed out when they didn't explain to me why they couldn't take in my family member.

"Always Friendly and Uplifting"

The staff here are always smiling and caring. They say nice, uplifting things that really brighten your day.

"Great place for independence—I'd live here when older"

This is a fantastic place. It really lets people stay independent. I’d choose to live here when I’m older.

"Dangerous and Poorly Trained: Don't Use This Facility"

Keep your distance! The staff at the memory care unit are underprepared, unskilled and there is a serious lack of communication. It's DANGEROUS! My mom or dad had a fall less than two days after moving in.

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Compassionate Staff and Great Help During Difficult Time"

We found this place for my mom when she needed help. The staff were friendly and caring at every level. They were very helpful when my wife and I moved my mom from rehab to Brookdale. Sadly, due to health issues before she moved in, she passed away soon after arriving. The staff was compassionate and very helpful to us.

"Big Place!"

I visited Brookdale Fredericksburg a while back. Although I don’t remember all the details, the place was clean, and the people were friendly. Overall, it was a good tour.

""Decent Place, But Not Affordable & Lacks Medical Assistance""

I felt this place was okay. It was nice and clean and didn't smell at all. But sadly, the cost was just too high for what we could pay. Also, the way the rooms were set up wasn't really what we were looking for. Plus, the rooms didn't look like they had what was needed for medical help.

"Lovely Assisted Living Community with Friendly Staff"

This place is nice. I had a good tour. Everything looked nice. They keep it well. The person showing us around was nice and told us a lot. They answered my questions and everyone was kind. But my mom needed more help than they could give. It's a nice place though. Good for someone to live.

3/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Improvement Needed in Staff Communication!"

When I visited this place for a look around, they promised me a whole bunch of stuff. Right now, it's been tough trying to get them to do anything for my family member. Every time I ask, it feels like they just leave me out to dry. The place is really pleasant though, and it's clean. I just wish the guys working there could talk to me more clearly.

"Think Again About This Facility"

My mom's been living there for just 3 months and I'm completely fed up... I'm actively making plans to move her out... Please, I implore you, seriously reconsider before you place your loved ones in there...

"Wonderful Place for My Parents"

My mom and dad really like this place. They're doing great! The food is good, and the staff is friendly and kind. I'm sure they're getting good care. Their apartment is nice and spacious. There are fun activities for them to try. The place is always clean. Everything is going well. I think others should check it out too.

"Brookdale of Fredericksburg: A Month of Pleasant Surprises"

I think Brookdale of Fredericksburg is really nice so far. It's super clean and big, kinda like a fancy hotel. The people who work in the dining area are really nice, and they offer lots of different foods for the residents to choose from. The nurses are really patient and take good care of my brother and his wife. Since they moved to Brookdale just a month ago, things have been going even better than we thought. I hope they keep getting used to their new home.

"Prompt Service Needed"

This place is nice and my family member is settling in fine. They're short on staff though, so it takes a bit to get help. It's clean and neat, food's tasty, and they've got fun stuff to do. Overall, it's good for us.

4/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Mixed Feelings"

Easy process, lacking clarity on physical therapy pricing. The place has been really friendly and easy to deal with so far. But we're not sure about the physical therapy part yet; they haven't told us how much it'll cost.

2/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Poor Care Despite Good Food"

They don't follow through on their promises. They struggle with maintaining their CNA workforce and ensuring the well-being of the patient is prioritized, and providing proper care. They simply can't seem to get a handle on it. I'm removing him from their care this month. The one positive is that their food is excellent, which deserves a 5 star rating. Everything else is poor, hardly a 2 star rating.

5/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Unprofessional Staff"

I called Brookdale Fredericksburg a few times, but no one has called me back. This makes them seem really unprofessional. I can only give them one star for Friendliness.

4/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Warm Staff, Decent Food, Could Use More Activities"

I really like the people who work at Brookdale. They're super nice. My dad stays there, and he thinks the food is okay. Sometimes they take a while to bring the food, but I guess it's the same everywhere. He wishes there were more things to do, though. But I'm glad they take good care of him. The best thing about Brookdale is how friendly and respectful the staff are to everyone who lives there.

"Promising start for our loved one's two-week stay."

Our family member has only been at the assisted living facility for two weeks. Right now, everything seems to be getting comfortable.

"Mixed Bag at Emeritus Wilburn Gardens"

Our time at Emeritus at Wilburn Gardens has been kind of up and down. The place itself looks great, and now our family member feels more at home and is getting on well with the staff. They're mostly nice and nurturing. But, there are numerous things they could get better at. Our family member doesn't have much good to say about the meals, and she often grumbles about not knowing when things are happening because the staff aren't great at letting her know.

4/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Understaffed and not providing promised care"

It’s okay for someone who only needs assisted living, but not for those who require more. The staff is stretched thin, and they make big promises that fall short. For instance, my grandmother has used her emergency alert several times when she needed to use the bathroom. Unfortunately, it took them 40 minutes to respond, and she ended up having an accident. They said they’d provide meals if necessary, but that hasn’t been the case. My grandmother gets upset because of it. Even when she needed aspirin, it took 40 minutes for someone to come to her room.

1.5/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Inadequate Staffing and Activity Neglect in Assisted Living Facility"

A monthly activities schedule was handed out, but hardly any activities took place. There were no reminders given to the residents prior to the activities, so those struggling with memory loss mostly stayed confined to their rooms. Residents having memory problems couldn't remember to hit the call button for staff aid (my parent mistook it for a heart rate monitor), so unless a facility staff happened to pass by their room, there wasn't much help provided. The caregiver-resident ratio was unsatisfactory, with too few caregivers tasked with looking after too many residents.

"Assisted Living Concerns: No WIFI, Slow Care, and Bad Food"

Wilburn Assisted Living Disappoints: No WIFI, Poor Care, Lousy Food" "Wilburn seems to be the only assisted living facility on the east coast without WIFI. It was so annoying moving in, and then waiting a whole week for the TV to get connected. Even then, the channel choice was really limited. Shockingly, when we finally got WIFI, we were told it costs $50 a month with a Comcast contract. There was confusion about the medication process and I'm still unsure if they've got it right. It took them 6 hours to bring a needed medicine. My sister fell on her second night there when she was on her way to the bathroom. She must have pressed her call button so many times, but no one came. In desperation, she screamed for help. She was left on the floor for an hour. And the food? It's awful. They serve powdered eggs or rice krispies for breakfast and there's no fruit.

"Attractive Decor Can't Make Up For Assisted Living Facility's Issues"

This place is probably best for someone who's really independent and doesn't have any trouble moving around on their own, and just needs someone to make their meals. On the first day my relative moved in, they let go of the chief cook and the person in charge of fun stuff because they were dating. Everyone who works there seems kind of down, and you can hear them complaining to each other in the hallways about different problems. Each person living there gets a special necklace to wear that they can press when they need help. On the second night, it took a helper 25 minutes to come, so I had to go ask the boss to call for someone. She thought maybe the helper was busy giving someone a bath. But no, the only helper there said she was taking food to people's rooms; my relative needed help going to the bathroom. When the helper did come, she left her unlit cigarette on the railing outside my relative's room. Guess she was about to take a break to smoke. They really should focus more on taking care of the residents. It seems like they're always short on staff, especially on weekends. The toilet in my relative's room stopped working on a Saturday and they said it wouldn't be fixed until Monday. That's not okay, not when my relative needs help getting to a different restroom, especially considering the amount of money we're paying. They did end up fixing the toilet that day, but then it broke again two weeks later. We're constantly having to remind them to address concerns about my relative's oxygen tank too. Several times, I've seen that the previous night's dinner tray was still in the room at dinner time the next day. Every time I visit, it seems like there's a new problem that needs to be fixed. Thank goodness there are a few kind and helpful staff members, but some of them really should think about getting a job somewhere else. They're always frowning and acting like they're bothered whenever you ask for anything. Honestly, if it were up to me, I'd have my relative stay somewhere else. Fancy spaces for eating and hanging out mean nothing when there are so many issues.

"Top-notch care and service all around!"

They do an amazing job! They are the best in every way. They work fast, are caring, and pay attention to details. The food and laundry services are great too.

"Friendly Staff and Nice Location, Needs More Activities and Flavorful Food"

This place is nice. I like it. They need more workers, but everyone is friendly. I can't say if it's worth the money, but people say it's a good deal. I wish they'd have more things to do. Before deciding, visit with your family member first. Meet the main nurse and chef. If you can, stay for a bit. The food is a bit plain, but it's okay.

"Good match for independence and daily help"

Considering my mother’s need for daily help and her strong desire for independence—she says, 'Nothing wrong with my brain, just a ninety-two-year-old body.' Everything I’ve seen, heard, and researched indicates this will be a good match.

"Exceptional Care, Family Atmosphere"

My dad needed a place where people truly cared about him and met his needs. Emeritus at Wilburn Gardens became his home. The staff goes beyond being courteous and caring; they create a family-like atmosphere. During my visit, they addressed all of my dad's needs with exceptional care. They even arranged for him to visit when I couldn't bring him over. Their customer service impressed me, and they went the extra mile to ensure this was the right place for my Dad.

"Rooms were nice, but hallways smelled"

We liked almost everything about this place, except for the hallway smell. The rooms were nice, staff friendly, but the hallways had an unpleasant odor.

"Warm Welcome Needed at Caring Residence"

Getting ready to move the patient in was really smooth and all our questions got answered. But when it came to actually moving them in, we didn’t get much help. The person in charge and the fix-it team weren’t around, so a bunch of stuff we were told would be fixed had to wait until they got back days later. During the move, nobody was there to lend a hand for hours, and we had to keep running downstairs to ask for help, which we only found after a long time. It would be better if there was a special way to greet patients when they arrive, not just leaving everything for the family to handle. For instance, no one was there to help set up the TV, and it was tough to find someone to sort out the medicine. It felt like all we got was the key and nothing else. The place itself was clean and the staff was really caring towards the patients.

"Assisted Living Facility Under New Management, Great Improvements"

Hey there! So, the assisted living place got new bosses about half a year ago. They switched up almost all the big boss positions, even in the Dining room. And guess what? The food got loads better! Plus, they gave the whole place a makeover. Cool, huh?
