Cogir of Old Town, Alexandria

I love the facility and the staff. The layout is great. From the moment you walk in, everything feels warm and welcoming — bright common areas, wide hallways that are easy to navigate for walkers and wheelchairs, and clear signage that makes it simple for residents and visiting family members to find their way around.

Caregivers take time to chat, they respond quickly when assistance is needed, and you can tel…
