This is my second relative to reside at Hidenwood. We have experienced both the assisted living and the memory care facilities. Ms. Zsavonne Perryman is the glue that has kept us here at Hidenwood. The staff is accommodating and I feel comfortable that my family member is being cared for.

What drew me to the Hidenwood was the friendliness of the staff. Everyone is willing to support you with whatever you need! Chef Lee, the new executive chef, is receiving rave reviews on taste, quality and presentation of the food. The wide range of engaging activities, especially related to memory care, is quite impressive. A beautiful community with large rooms, generous closet space and top notch amenities, including a movie theater, general store and salon. As the new Director of Community Relations, I cant wait to share more about this wonderful hidden gem in Newport News.

Newport News was home for my father and mother when my he retired from the military. Then when my mom passed away 7 years ago, my dad decided to go to Florida to be closer to family. Recently he was diagnosed with Alzheimers and wanted to return back to Virginia to live in an assisted living facility. After a great deal of searching and research, Hidenwood was our number one selection especially after speaking with Zsavonne. We received the best information regarding Alzheimers, what to look for, and what to expect when moving my father to an assisted living facility. Thank you so much for all your help!

Dear David, I wanted to take this time to express my gratitude to The Hidenwood and all your wonderful staff for the care you have taken of my parents over these past many months. Your commitment to a quality life for your residents, even during the immense challenges of the COVID-19 crisis, has been nothing short of phenomenal. As you are aware, both of my parents have been residents during this time. With the declining health and subsequent passing of my dad, our whole family has felt your constant support, communication and heartfelt caring every step of the way. Your staff offered guidance and recommendations and took action when necessary to make my dads life safe and as comfortable as possible as he slipped from one stage to another. We could not be more grateful. My mom has been able to take advantage of your lovely respite accommodations and be with my dad until he passed. She continues to talk about how kind and caring all her interactions have been with every member of The Hidenwoods staff. You have made her stay with you so memorable in the best way, supporting her through the most difficult time in a persons life. I am a bit teary writing this…it has been so important to us that Mom and Dad had this time together in the end. And you folks made it happen. There are so many people I would like to thank in your staff, but I dont know them all. Suffice it to say, you have the worlds BEST folks working with you! There is one person, in particular, who stands out in our experience with The Hidenwood, and that is Zsavonne Perryman. From the first day we came to The Hidenwood in January (we walked in with no appointment) looking for a long-term care solution for my dad, Zsavonne welcomed us as though we were already part of the community. We left that day knowing we had picked the right place for my dad. Zsavonne knows her business, she is articulate, she inspires confidence, she is SO upbeat and positive, she is SO accessible, she is a problem solver, she is calm, she is kind, she always has a smile on her face and in her voice, she gets results, and she has the answers. Zsavonne has been my go-to person at The Hidenwood for the past several months. I have tried not to abuse her kindness and accessibility (she has responded to my texts every time within minutes, even after hours). I have been in the corporate environment for many, many years. Employees of Zsavonnes caliber are hard to come by. She is the quintessential employee who takes ownership in her job, the kind we all want working for us. Im sure you know you have a gem. Zsavonne and all of your staff have made our familys connection with The Hidenwood special. An experience like this does not just happen. A well run facility-company is a reflection of the quality of its leadership. David, please accept our sincerest thanks for the care you have taken of our entire family. All the special touches from the flowers for my mom to the honoring of my dad to the lovely cards you sent to our family members tell the story. But even more, it is the smiles and kind words and attention your staff have given to my parents that we cherish most. You all have a special place in our hearts... Very gratefully, Debbie Berry Daughter of Amos and Pat Van Bibber

My sister, my mother, and myself toured the Memory Care Unit and the Independent Living/Assist Living areas. The lunch was wonderful, staff was very calm during service. There were three different options of fresh fruit for lunch. There is always two rotation options for lunch/dinner plus a short order menu and a healthy choice menu. The remodeled areas were very nice, the other areas were a bit dated but they are slowly remodeling. The apartments are spacious for assisted living and memory care. The outside grounds were large and well maintained. The activities seemed well planned, interesting, and plentiful. They offer movies every night in the theater room, a garden club, and a lecture series. We spoke with three female residence, all seemed fairly happy. It is large, too large for my mother, but I would choose to live there.

My father has been at The Hidenwood for almost a month. Coming from a previous asst living facility he is adjusting pretty well to the new staff and surroundings. He loves the food. They don't let the residents sit in their room, they try to keep them engaged with different activities (painting, bingo). I am pleased.

The Hidenwood has been one of the best communities that I have had a privilege and opportunity to work for! The Hidenwood truly cares and invests in their employees on a consistent basis. We offer competitive compensation/benefits for all employees. The Hidenwood team is very welcoming from the moment you walk through the communities front door. I strongly recommend joining the RUI/ The Hidenwood team as we are steadily growing and offer an excellent work environment for all employees!

We moved our loved one into the memory care area at the Hidenwood when it became too difficult to care for her due to progressive dementia. I have to say, the care she receives is excellent. The staff are very respectful and compassionate. I feel confident that she is receiving high quality attention and care. I recommend anyone in our position consider the Hidenwood.

My wife Lynne, was in a nursing home near Nashville for a year and a half suffering from a tumor at the brain stem. I was in an assisted living facility. I was able to visit her daily. My Son and Daughter and I were with her when she passed. I decided to return to my roots in Virginia. My Son and I flew in to check out facilities. We decided on one, but wanted to check out The Hidenwood where my mother stayed in 2007. I immediately fell in love with it and disregarded the previous selection. The Staff and the Residents won me over. The layout is absolutely beautiful. The apartment I selected is more than adequate. There is a theater (big screen), activities room. The dining room is great. A Chef who is world class. Selections planned ahead on a monthly basis to satisfy any palate. Many substitutions available for lighter fare. Occasionally he will set up in the dining room for special meals you don’t want to turn down. I play the piano, so I now play twice a week for the Residents. One day a week in Memory Care and one day a week for Assisted Residents. A new baby grand piano is on order for January, to update facility. An exercise room is available with loads of equipment (treadmill and assorted bikercise units). A full library is available. The nursing staff is great and two doctors are here once a week. I have a large family that lives here locally, so plenty of visitors. And I have an older sister (don’t tell her I said older) who is looking to move in here soon. The other Residents are becoming To Be like family. This is Home.

The Hidenwood is an upscale community which offers great amenities, activities and amazing food for its residents. It’s also unique in as it offers RUI University - which partners with local experts and colleges to offer education topics to our residents- which is a great compliment to its already abundant activities schedule. I highly recommend the Hidenwood community to anyone searching for a community for their loved one.

After returning to California from a visit with my mom at Inspiritas, I am more grateful than ever for their wonderful staff. It was a tough visit. She was hospitalized the day after we arrived, and extremely anxious to get back to her 'home' and her 'people'. Ora greeted us with hugs the moment we arrived. There seems to be nothing I ask of her that is 'too much.' Jackie worked to get her room oxygen-ready. Brittany and all the other care givers relayed info over the phone to the hospital. It's the kind of extra care I've come to rely on, and the kind of people we are proud to consider family.

I had the pleasure of facilitating a Mental Health awareness workshop at The Hidenwood retirement community and my experience was nothing less than amazing! The employees were very helpful as Monique Merrill was very supportive in ensuring I had necessities to make the workshop successful. Zsavonne Perryman was also great with communication in regards to ensuring the residents and I had the best experience possible. The location is very neat and well put together and I enjoyed my multiple interactions. Looking forward to enjoying the company of the amazing residents and staff again!

I work as an art therapy contractor at Hidenwood. I have been very pleased with this welcoming community. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff and they have been outstanding. I am currently facilitating groups in memory care and have enjoyed it immensely. Ora Williams has been especially accommodating and helpful. She does a wonderful job of getting the residents interested in attending groups. She has great rapport with residents with her warm personality and kindness. I hope to continue to work at this great facility!

In the last two weeks I had the privilege twice to visit the Hidenwood Retirement Community. Both times I was there without an appointment and both times I was more than warmly received. My mission was to view retirement communities to then make recommendations to my 93 year old aunt. After viewing four such communities my top recommendation was the Hidenwood. I met some of the nicest people, friendly, smiling, happy with their station at the Hidenwood. Thank you, Barbara Deaver for spending so much time with me (not just once but two times) showing me all that makes your facility the great place it is. Thank you front desk, Barbara, for the warm welcome you gave me and to the sweet lady in the dining room who loves her work there and aide, Paige. Also, it was my privilege to meet residents in three apartments. It was evident in their smiles and conversation they are happy to be part of the Hidenwood. Thanks everyone, Mrs. Dee Adams

I have had the pleasure of working with The Hidenwood staff for several years now as a vendor. As soon as I walk through the doors, I am greeted with a warm smile and while waiting for my appointment, I always have at least 10 staff members walk by and say "Good morning" or Good afternoon" and smile. It is very warm and friendly and the residents seem to always be happy when I come in. This week while I was there, I walked out of the meeting and could smell warm bread baking. Oh my goodness it smelled good. I would feel very comfortable with one of my loved ones in the care of the staff here. They do an amazing job making you feel at home on all levels.
