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 to Independent living as they were completing the renovation in Jan 2024. There were some early hiccups, but mostly on our side. Moving from her house of 50 years to an apartment mostly through pressure from the kids was tough. After 2-3 months, she found her rhythm and it's been a great relief to the kids and her. The staff is superb. The apartment, activities and food are great. Having a built in path to Assisted Living and Memory Care is a relief. I didn't do much shopping around, but I understand it is one of the more expensive options for Senior Living.

I can only give it comparison to where my mom previously stayed. My mom previously stayed at Sunrise at McLean. It was horrible. Sunrise is the old model for Assisted Living. The Virginian is the new model. My mom started out in assisted living. Her move in day she saw more medical staff than the entire two years she was at Sunrise. So Kudos to the Virginian. I think if the staff is happy that flows to the residents. It became evident that my mom needed to be on memory care. So after a few months she transitioned to memory care. Regina is Director of Memory ...she does well with the little that she has...she has a heart for the residents...the staff get along and respect her...which is a great reflection of her skill set. I live out of state.I come once a month to visit my mom. My oldest brother is there almost every day. Not don't get me wrong there are alot of wonderful people on the weekend/evening shifts. I had issues when my mom first moved to memory care. Some of it is because of the shock and pain I was in because my mom was declining...so to be fair to Regina...I had not a rose colored lense...but to Regina's credit she took what I said and implemented changes. I failed to give her the proper Kudos. For that I am sorry. So Regina, thank you for hearing me and caring for my mom.y mom is safe here AND she is happy. I have noticed that in November the amount of caregivers have been cut and that breaks my heart. For both my mom and for the caregivers. The caregivers already had there hands full, it's not like the number of residents have decreased or have gotten better.Every caregiver I have met has had a heart for the residents. The activity director, Belinda cares deeply...I watched her today as a family member came to visit a resident. Belinda was well aware that this resident hadn't had a visitor for awhile and she became overwhelmed with emotion. Belinda works hard to involve everyone even if they cannot participate but at least they are not sitting by themselves alone. She tries to include everyone. Even the residents who are challenging...and rude ...there is one resident who will not let anyone touch her walker. Even though they will bring it back to her but trying to keep the flow and or to make room so more people can be involved...but the resident would not budge. I stand in awe at her ability to tolerate the disrespect the resident shows her...The nursing staff is awesome. Some are more serious than others. But they all are professional. The meal caregivers are incredible... Patricia, who is from Nigeria, is wonderful. She knows each resident by name, and knows what they can and cannot have...she pays attention to the residents and if they are eating...if they need help...she helps feed them She always encourages them to eat. I do notice that there are cultural differences that can lead to misunderstandings and unfortunately assumptions are the motherloads of all issues. But I have found when you communicate and understand each other cultural differences fall away.I think the memory care team whether weekday or weekend does an outstanding job and I am happy my mom is here and well taken care of and she is safe. What I don't like has nothing to do with care staff nor the director of memory care. If anything I feel for them because they are dealt a low below because they cannot continue the level of care with less help...they have big enough hearts that they will give it there all...but it is sad that higher ups are not providing the support they need. They needed more help not less. The buck should stop with the people up on the top...Regina, the caregivers and the nurses, etc. should not be saddled because of their greed. And that's the bottom line. And the weekend/evening crew always gets dealt the shorter stick because they have to take care of the same amount of people with less help.

Nurses and CNAs are truly outstanding at their respective jobs. Armstrong, Sarita, Inatu, Freddie, Deysi, Joseph, Hawanatu, Mariatu, Kent, Mekdes, Sahar, and so many more, deserve high praise for their care and attentiveness and compassion. Tajia and Tatiana have been most helpful in helping to navigate the complex bureaucratic world of one-size-fits all Medicare. While the therapists are highly professional, I believe they could be more creative and flexible to motivate my husband to participate with them. He wants to initiate, does initiate with others, but they haven't found the button for him to initiate with them. Trust and empathy are not lost on the infirm. Because of time, God, me, family, and the hourly care he'sreceiving, he is recovering slowly, as is usually the case with stroke patients. Thank you to everyone. And to God be the Glory!

My experience with The Virginian as a prospective resident has been very positive. My first tour of the facility was during the remodeling. It has been wonderful to see how beautiful the finished product turned out. The open house was an amazing event. Kevin Rios from the marketing department has been my point of contact. He's very helpful and responds quickly to my questions. He's introduced me to residents who seemed to be very happy living at The Virginian.

I am happy to share my experience and the tremendous support that I received, along with my siblings, and our Mother, from Jenna Ballard, who is the Sales and Marketing Director at The Virginian. I had heard of The Virginian when my mom had mentioned an interest in moving there several years ago, having gone by then for a site visit, and remarking what a nice facility with beautiful grounds that maybe she could do some gardening if she moved there. Fast forward to April 2024 when Mom turned 94 and my siblings and I realized that it was no longer possible for Mom to live safely, alone in her two level house. She either needed to get some in-home help, or move to a safer community. I live in Phoenix, AZ and one of my neighbors in my community is Jenna’s mom”crazy small world! I had heard about their $60 Million dollar renovation and was inspired to reach out immediately. So I was introduced to Jenna over a Zoom call on a weekend to become familiar with her, learning about options for Senior Care, and The Virginian as a possible option for our Mom. The fact that someone would take time on a Sunday to meet with me was a great starting point, and I learned that Jenna came to The Virginian with many years of experience already in Senior Care”something I know nothing about. She took me and my wife through the process of dealing with an aging parent needing more support and care that Mom now needed, explaining the various options for Independent Living and Assisted Living at The Virginian. After that Zoom meeting, it led me to then connecting with my siblings”all back in Northern Virginia, near Mom”and got the process started for an in-home evaluation of Mom, followed by a site visit where Jenna hosted Mom and my 3 siblings. I was not able to get back to Virginia to attend the tour and lunch”but heard that it was fabulous and my older brother commented that it was equal to many resorts he had been to. No surprise, Jenna made a video of an available Independent Living apartment room that might be ideal for Mom, so that I could see what everyone else saw, and that made me feel as I was part of the decision process along with my siblings. She has responded to dozens of texts, several phone calls and emails from me and my siblings, and been very patient and informative in helping us”and Mom”get to this point where we have just signed Mom up to move in to The Virginian in July! This process to move Mom out of a home she’s lived in since 1968 was not an easy one at all, for any of us, especially Mom. But the sensitive and professional manner in which Jenna approached Mom, me and then worked with my family, just spoke volumes about her own character and experience in this delicate manner. As an amazing ambassador for The Virginian, Jenna Ballard’s support and care for all of us was a major deciding factor in my family choosing The Virginian as a safe community for Mom to live out the next phase of her life, thriving in a beautiful and vibrant setting with other seniors around. My siblings and I are grateful to Jenna and The Virginian for giving us some peace of mind that’s been needed for way too long now. Thank you Jenna, I look forward to meeting you live and in person the next time I come out to visit Mom!

I first became aware of The Virginian when a friend of mine brought it to my attention when she saw the article in The Washington Post regarding The Virginian, back in November, 2023. I first met with Jenna Ballard in November, 2023 who gave me a tour of The Virginian and pointed out the amenities that were available to the current tenants. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of The Virginian and all of the tenants that we encountered during our tour appeared to be very content and happy with the facility. Jenna took time to speak with many of the residents that addressed her during our tour time. I was very impressed with the renovation that was in process at the time of my first visit in 2023, and completed at the time of my second visit in 2024. It showed me that The Virginian was willing to spend some money to make things better for the tenants. Jenna is a beautiful sales associate that takes pride in being a promoter of The Virginian in that she takes everything potential residents have to say very seriously and answered all of my questions in a way that I totally understood. What impressed me the most about Jenna was that she not only took The Virginian into consideration with her answers, but also took into consideration that the person she was talking to was a potential upcoming resident. I had looked at a place exactly like The Virginian and when the sales associate my son and I met with started introducing me to the current residents of the facility, she introduced me as the next resident in Apartment # 201 “ even before I had even seen Apartment # 201. Jenna did not pressure me in any way to make a decision the first day that I was there, and has not since “ which I think is fantastic. If I decide to stay living in Virginia, and decide to move in to a place like The Virginian, it will not be a place like The Virginian “ it will be The Virginian.

My husband and I have been treated very well as perspective residents of the Virginian. We first visited when we went for the Grand Reopening, which was amazing. Such a state of the art place. Then we met Jenna when we returned for more information and a tour. We were very impressed. Saw the whole place, all the floors and facilities followed by happy hour and dinner. Our experience was fabulous. We also went back with one of our daughters when we just dropped in and had a tour. Last week we toured again with Jenna and another daughter. We were impressed with Jenna who answered all our questions and showed us around again. We particularly like the idea of a rental as opposed to a buy in. When we were there we talked to the residents who seemed very happy. We are not ready to move but are pleased with our experience at the Virginian. Jan

My dad's experience at The Virginian was wonderful. People that made a difference were Taija in admissions and Isatu, Armstrong, and especially Kent. There were a few areas that could be improved which include more timely response by late night staff and the kitchen staff who need to improve how they fill orders as requested. I would highly recommend other families to use The Virginian. Despite some of these improvements that are needed people truly care about your loved ones.

At least half of all the staff members at The Virginian know exactly who I am, my father is a well-respected/loved and generally well-treated resident up on the 3rd Assisted Living floor, and in my assessment (and I am a realist), I've made positive bonds with many of Daddy's regular caregivers - the majority of whom are kind, understanding, and accommodating. So to post this review, I must be exceedingly brave, exceedingly dumb, or a combination of the two. Sigh. Here goes nothing. One would think that it would be a relief to have a skilled nursing unit under the same roof where your loved one is receiving memory, assisted living, or an independent level of care. Translated as, consider this scenario: your loved one already lives at the Virginian (on one of the upper levels, where it's beautifully renovated and pristine-looking) has had a fall? Broken a bone? Had a windfall medical emergency, such as infection, which required an extended hospital stay? Skilled nursing would logically be the best post-hospitalization "bridge" to spend some time (ideally) getting more intensive, individualized attention and TLC while building up their strength to successfully head back up to their baseline level of care. In my Daddy's case, that's Assisted Living. Oy. Vey. IMO, the other Skilled Nursing review posters who are appalled, aghast, and otherwise PO'ed are well within their rights to feel that way. Daddy is currently in skilled nursing (his several-eth-time-around) after a week-long hospitalization due to a very serious urine/blood infection, and resulting muscular atrophy from spending a week in bed. Dear reader, Daddy's discharge from the Skilled Living basement back up to his upstairs assisted living unit can't come soon enough. My Daddy is one of the most kind, agreeable, grateful, and kind individuals you'll ever want to meet - AND he's been at the Virginian since 2019, and many employees know and love him, AND it's taken having a 24/7 caregiver (hired from an outside agency) with him in the room, AND a team of geriatric case managers (hired from an outside agency), AND me to keep things halfway straight, and things are still messed up six ways to Sunday. The double doors that lead to the lone area of The Virginian which has NOT been renovated, and goes by such charming, Virginia-themed names as Cardinal, Willow, and Dogwood seem to be a deliberate secret from those who otherwise visit or tour the property. So much so that when Daddy was admitted to Cardinal from the hospital this time around, there was an "event" going on that day, and his admission to the skilled nursing unit was deliberately scheduled after said "event" was over. This was NOT for his comfort, or even due to space constraints, I am convinced it is part of a cautious white-washing veneer to make sure outsiders don't see patients at their most vulnerable. I feel like The Virginian does not want to mar its aesthetic, clean appearance (just look at the stunning front lobby) with the most fragile, worthy-of-care residents of all - those in skilled nursing. And I can't help but feel that based on the lack of attention to any detail (to include providing acceptable cleanliness, providing not-cramped spaces to residents, providing a fine balance of attentive care and privacy/dignity, including helping out with food choices, and being careful to not lose belongings, such as personal clothing which goes into the community laundry) and IMO, a lack of true individualized care - and how overworked and overtired and disenfranchised the staff appear on skilled nursing, that the residents, staff, or anyone else on "B1" is treated as and seen as an afterthought and a bottom-feeder. It isn't like the rest of the building is without fault - it's not - but I feel like it's at least workable, and people are trying to improve what's not right. I implore you, Deena and staff - DO BETTER. Not just for the more-able-bodied, pretty older folks. But for them ALL. .

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.

My wife and I recently took a guided tour through the Virginian that absolutely took our breath away! The recent renovations have flawlessly integrated very modern updates with an incredible at home level of comfort. The common use areas such as the library, sports bar and activity centers gave us a sense of community inclusion without the need to travel out into Fairfax County. It certainly appeared that there were such diverse opportunities that would include the interest and hobbies of virtually every resident at the Virginian. The living accommodations were extremely well thought out, planned, and constructed. The varying floor plans maximized living space and optimized the functionality unique to senior living requirements. It certainly appeared that every consideration for a seamless transition from independent to assisted living has been considered. We were very impressed by the staff and the endorsements of the residents we met during our tour. The Virginian certainly is everything we could want in a Senior Living facility and community.

The Virginian is the best community! We looked at many places for my grandmother. We relocated her and found this place to have everything we could possibly need! We met residents and staff which was nice. They just finished a massive renovation. It looks like a resort when you walk in. They have 5 new restaurants including a bar, wine cellar and a bistro. We liked that there were so many offerings that many places didn't have. We ultimately chose The Virginian because it was a rental that has all care one could need for life and not have to move again.

My father is in memory care and I am dissatisfied. There used to be more activities for them. Since some of the staff have left they seem to just house them. Some of the aids are good, but many are not. I know it is hard to work on that unit, and my Dad can be difficult to work with because of his dementia, but maybe the aids need extra training on communicating with dementia residents. Also I would like to be able to call the unit and have someone answer the phone.

My husband and I are in the process of moving into assisted living at the Virginian. Jenna Ballard and her team are going above and beyond to make this move as easy and stress-free as it can possibly be. Jenna has taken on logistical issues that I can't imagine another company would have helped us with. Every person we've dealt with has been incredibly kind, and that kind of genuine kindness is something we deeply appreciate at this juncture in our lives. Everyone at The Virginian has made us excited to move in!

I just toured this community - a best-kept secret in N. Va. My parents love that it has all levels of care available should they ever need them and they don't have to pay a large entry fee upfront! It is so conveniently located and the renovations are awesome - I know my parents will enjoy the wine cellar as well as the many different dining venues! Looking forward to getting them moved into their new home!

I would not recommend. I have a relative living at the Virginian. I am not impressed by the care or hospitality in that place. My relative complains that when she uses her pendant no one come to check on her. The dining experience or lack of I should say has left nothing to be desired. Food is okay. Activities are subpar because the place is just too big. And the construction feels like it’s never ending, it’s very disruptive.

My dad moved in to this places after viewing 4 other senior communities in the area. The Virginian had the most knowledgeable and professional staff of all the communities we visited and that made us feel the most comfortable with the decision for him to live here. It also gave us peace of mind knowing it had been there for decades and is currently being completely modernized.

The team at the Virginian are amazing!!!! From Jenna Ballard, Director of Sales to the daily staff taking care of my parents. Honestly I thought the transition for my parents would have been harder but all the staff are awesome!

I have been here for awork assignment. I find the facility grounds beautiful. The building itself is currently under a major renovation and will be gorgeous inside as well. The staff are all very caring .The residents who live there all seem very happy and have many activities and outings to enrich their daily lives. I would love to reside here when I retire!!

The Virginian Memory Unit has a wonderful caring nursing staff headed by April and Julio. It is beautiful and well thought out, with a great outside space for the residents to enjoy. One of the highlights is the activity staff. There is always something going on. I have seen many memory care units that say they have activities but The Virginian actually does and the residents enjoy them! Kudos!

My dad was here in 2021 and the beginning of 2022 for 2 separate rehab stays. Staff was pretty good overall, although there is a definite A team and B team. Physical therapy was great and the social worker Julie was fantastic on my dad's first go round. You will want to visit when you can to stay on top of things, but overall, if I had a relative stay here again I'd be pretty happy.
