Jenna Ballard at The Virginian helped me orchestrate a move for my mom in eight days. She is professional, responsive, and knowledgeable-way beyond her years. Everything went smoothly. My mom was able to go from acute rehab to her new apartment at The Virginian. We couldn’t be more pleased in our decision. My mom even said the food is delicious and she is a tough critic!

Staff isn’t as friendly as people claim them to be. I would be working with my patient there and I would be passing by, going place to place with them and have staff greet my patient, but they would COMPLETELY ignore me and not say a word towards me, despite making eye contact. As a healthcare worker of 5 years, this is one of the most rude and disrespectful things I have seen from staff, at a retirement facility. They only make you feel welcomed, IF you’re a resident; totally not cool and a lack of basic respect for others.

I had such a great experience at Virginian Senior Living. The staff here are honestly wonderful — so kind and personable, it really feels like they get to know you instead of treating everyone the same. The whole place has a very welcoming vibe. I also really appreciated how much they offer on-site. There’s a gym, a salon, and even a library, which makes it easy to stay active and connected. They also put on fun events that give people something to look forward to, and you can tell they care about keeping things lively and engaging. Overall, it feels like a community, not just a building — and that’s what makes all the difference.

My mom moved into The Virginian last year and it’s now totally remodeled and gorgeous. The staff is great - I was there over the weekend and when I arrived I was greeted by two people at the front desk who were very informed about the community. Security is very good. There’s a new bistro in the lobby area with a great menu. My mom raves about the food. I hear they have a new executive chef who comes from the Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton. Very happy with our decision to have her move here.
