4 Independent Living Communities in Midlothian, Virginia

Morningside of Bellgrade was really nice, but my brother would have to rent furniture. They have a really nice patio where they have cookouts; we were invited to their luau on Labor Day. They had a chef who invited us to eat. They had wonderful food, happy hour, and activities. They're also going to extend their lovely patio at the back, so I'm expressed for that. It was in a nice area, the place looked nice, clean, and cheery, and the rooms were adequate and a good size. The lady who helped me was lovely, and for anyone who can afford it, it would be wonderful.

Morningside of Belgrade has suffered so bad. They've been through 4 executive directors in 2 years. The dining staff hires a lot of impolite staff members. The service sucks as I have been in there taking care of my friend who stays at Morningside. The place smells terrible and I am very happy to hear that the food service director has put in his notice. The lack of food truck orders they get is terrible. There always out of food! Management is terrible and will treat the residents terrible once they begin there stay. I would never recommend this place to anyone!

Morningside of Bellgrade was pretty disappointing. I didn't like it at all. It smelled bad. The facilities were in disrepair. It just felt like an institutional nursing home. The staff member who assisted me was very pleasant, but very apologetic for the state of repair. I didn't want to stay that long. The activities were being done primarily by the caretakers, not the clients themselves. There was a big physical therapy area and it looked more like a rehab facility than an assisted living community. It was pretty awful. There was no uniformity for the caregivers who work with the individual clients. This is what an institution would've looked like years ago. People weren't engaged. It smelled bad the minute you walked in.

My father is in Morningside of Bellgrade. It's fine and dandy and clean. His room is well maintained. He seems to be doing great there. They have activities and told me they took him out on a bus ride to the city. They have a TV room, an activities room, and a family room. Everything looks great. He thinks it's good food, and it looks fine to me. Everybody's been wonderful and answered all my questions. They're taking good care of him. He's only been there a couple of weeks.

This atmosphere is very diverse and offers residents their everyday needs. The program is suited for those looking for a more heterogeneous atmosphere. Program offers a variety of activities including pinball, dancing, parades, and multiple opportunities for social interaction and involvement. The dining area is spacious and the people were friendly and interactive with the environment.
