I highly recommend DC to everyone!

They get the highest scores from me. The staff is amazingly friendly and kind and professional. They will go out of their way to meet all your needs. They have made changes in my apartment to accommodate my physical limitations like lowering the closet shelf and rod so I can reach my clothes. I cannnot lift my arms above my shoulders. There are plenty of activities listed on¨ the daily schedule left on the shelf outside your room. The menu is diverse and the food is good. ( Especially desserts!) I feel like I live …

Review for Discovery Commons Virginia Beach

Overall experience - Very difficult to tell. My sister is not ambulatory. People seem nice and responsive. Apartment is reasonably priced. PT on premises is good. Food I don't have an impression.

Wonderful 'at-home' setting

I have no complaints at all, so I would give them 5 stars. The facility is great! Modern, excellent dining setup and the rooms are spacious. The staff is upbeat and maintains a positive atmosphere.

Our families experience

No improvement's, they were good all around. Some super folks and a few poor, but overall good value, particularly when she was well. When she turned for the worse, she went downhill fast and got hospice. But I chose an outside group, which held them accountable and glad I did. Absolutely, but would recommend for folks with family and friends that visit and check on them regularly. And paid companions as and when needed.

Great staff and environment, food has gotten really bad

I moved in about a year ago. I loved everything about D.C,even the food. The medical staff is outstanding as well as the servers in the dining room BUT since about April or May of [removed name], the preparation ha continuity gone down hill. The food itself is not bad but the way the cooks fix it is terrible. It is either over cooked and too hard to cut, much less eat, cold, or has no sauce or taste what-so-ever. There is a monthly meeting where we give our suggestions and opinions on the food, but it doesn't seem …
