“My mom moved into Windmill Ponds two weeks ago. It has been an awesome experience, the staff is wonderful and many activities provided.”
“Great experience. Staff were caring, knowledgeable, a pleasure to be at Nelson Care Center (wish circumstances were different). Occupational and physical therapy were awesome!! It was tough. Not unreasonable but what I needed. I guess what I'm trying to say is "YOU'RE THE BEST "”
“My experience with Bethany is limited to my mom recovering there after an accident, but from that view, it is an excellent care facility for seniors. The staff were very friendly and attentive.”

About these figures
Computed on October 23, 2026 from the 10 communities listed in Alexandria, 150 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
