My mother moved into Paramount Senior Living at Fredericksburg. I've been very pleased, the staff has been very kind, they work with me very well, and they reach out whenever my mom needs to make a phone call. It's a little expensive, but it's really good. When we visited it looked like a very beautiful place. It's set up very much like apartments. You can have your own apartment, or an apartment where there's a shared living room, dining room, kitchenette, and bathroom, but you get your own bedroom. Residents are allowed to bring in their own furniture, you can hang your own drapes, have pictures on the wall, and you can have your own TV. They have a beautiful dining area, an outside patio area in the back that people can use, and the front has beautiful rocking chairs so the assisted living people can go outside, sit, and enjoy the weather. They have washing machine areas, a nice sized library, a nice sized TV room, and they have RNs and doctors onsite.

My mother-in-law has moved into Paramount Senior Living. So far, we have been pretty pleased with most everything. She is still going through an adjustment period and is learning how they work. The staff members are very friendly. It's the only place that I have ever been in where everyone greets you with a hug. It is wonderful, and it is very clean. It is nothing fancy but it has what it needs. They keep the residents busy all day long. There's movie night and Wednesday Tea for Ladies. There is something going on almost every hour.

My mother was in Bickford of Spotsylvania for 6-8 months. Sadly, she got bedbugs in her room, and they wanted me to pick her up. They had her sleeping on the couch for three days, and I had to buy all brand-new furniture. They had memory care within its assisted living facility. The place was decorated nicely, both facilities were secured, and all doors were locked. They had a kitchen and the assisted living had cafeteria style dining. They had good and bad staff. There's staff who seemed to really care. The food looked and smelled really good. The cost was pretty high.

William

Spring Arbor of Fredericksburg has so far been fantastic. They each have their own apartment, and my sister is doing fine in hers. They've been very helpful in having to transfer her from there to the hospital a couple of times, and my sister calls it her home. They have all kinds of activities, like people who come in to play for them and speak to them. The staff is outstanding. What my sister is getting is well worth the money.

Chancellor's Village was very upscale and nice, but they didn't have a 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment. The staff was very nice and accommodating, and they gave us all time with the tour.
