Beth

We did a tour at the Harmony in Virginia Beach and it was a nice tour. They did a great job. The person who toured us was very good, very thorough, and she answered all of our questions. We saw one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and they were nice. They have a lot of activities like exercises, small groups happy hours, they have musical guests, and church and bible classes. There's a lot of very positive feedback on the activities. At the moment, they do some of the activities in small groups.

We liked The Waterford at Virginia Beach, but it was a little far out for us for visiting. It was clean, nice, and well appointed. I liked the staff that I met there, and we were looking to move my mother in there. It was not quite as nice as the others, only because it wasn't as new, it was a little smaller, and the rooms were not as big as the others, but in general it was clean and nice. The staff was nice, and it was convenient to a lot of things around town. It was just not convenient to us from where I live. We didn't see much of anything going on. They had an exercise room and a really nice balcony on the second floor where residents can go out and just hang out and sit in the sun. They had some game rooms and some activity rooms. It's assisted living and they had memory care, too.

I have Home Instead for five years now. The girl that I got now has been with me for three years straight. I have her 5 days a week 4 hours a day. She takes me to doctor's appointments, she goes shopping and does light house cleaning, and she accompanies me and my cat to the vet. She overly likes animals; she gets along with my cats. I'm pretty comfortable with her and I'm satisfied with Home Instead.

My caregivers are pleasant, interested in helping and most importantly, engage my mother who has dementia. We have been using Home Instead for close to 2 years now.

So far, the experience with Home Instead has been good. I have a very good caregiver. They're helping me with getting my husband organized and shaved. They make sure he gets his medicines on time and they remind me of course. They do some light housekeeping and they fix some lunch for us. My husband is very comfortable. I have already told people about Home Instead. I have very good rapport with them. Both Judy and Beverly have been excellent. Since Judy couldn't come back, Beverly is excellent. She is there when I need her. I can't rave about Beverly or Judy enough. When I need them at the doctor's with me, they're right there. There is no one to compare them to. It is all working out now. The people in the office are excellent as well.
