My issue is concerning the storage bins on site for residents. I had a suitcase in a relative's storage bin for a few weeks. When it was retrieved several small expensive items were missing. Blood pressure cuff, cell phone etc. The large items were still in case. There was a lock on the bin. When I alerted General services and security they could clearly care less. They said to their knowledge this has never happened. Who knows how many seniors are missing items that they don't even know about yet. I would never live there based on their lack of response or concern for other residents belongings.

I was visiting somebody that lived in a senior living community. Everybody was very happy, very cordial, and very welcoming. Food was good. We were just visiting a friend. I went there off of Fairfax County Parkway. My friend had her own apartment. The staff was great. The residents were great.

Two weeks ago, I visited Greenspring in Springfield. It was obvious that it was made to be very helpful to senior citizens who were having difficulty in getting around and to provide a lot of assistance to these elders that needed assistance. I personally don't need assistance physically but I know there are a lot of people who depend on the community to provide help to them. A lot of people were using walkers to get around and the person I visited had a power wheelchair that he uses to get around. I was impressed by the number of restaurants, 6 in all I think, 4 deluxe restaurants and a bistro along with a fast-food facility. They had a swimming pool, arts and crafts center, and a pharmacy onsite. I was very impressed with the facilities that were provided to people who obviously were not able to get out and around.I was impressed with the services being provided to those that needed special assistance like food delivery to their apartments. People could get around traveling from one end of the facility to the other without going outdoors. It is a huge facility with 2,000 people with many apartments, it was pretty impressive in size and the services provided. It was large but it was easy to navigate and that impressed me.

Greenspring was very impressive. The person who helped me did a wonderful job. When she took us around, we interacted with other people who were staying there, and they knew her. It was a large community with a lot of walking, so there may have been some concern, but other than that, it was well run and clean. Actually, it would be the choice for my mom if she were ready to go. They serve three meals a day, and one is included with the plan. They have 50 or 60 activity groups, clubs, and movies, and people get together for all kinds of events. They also have a van to take people around if they want to go anywhere. The place is quite large, so they have a commissary right there, all the medical folks were right in there, and they have doctor appointments, which you can get right there. It is a little village, and everything is very convenient. It seems to me that the staff members were very attentive and engaged with the residents all the time. It was a friendly, involved place. It was very clean too.

Greenspring was fine. It’s a huge facility. Anything you want to do, they will accommodate. They have lots to do and lots of transportation facilities. It is just a huge place. Like I said Greenspring was a huge facility, and we were walking to see one of the units. You’re walking down this long hallway; it’s a big place. It is many buildings, and they’re all inter-connected, so that you never have to go outside. You can go and visit everybody, and I don’t know how many hundred rooms they have there. But they’re all inter-connected, and they have this long hallway that goes down to a center hub. We were there around dinner time. We were walking to see this unit, and there was a stream of people, one after the other, either walking or in wheelchairs, using walkers or something like that on their way to eat. And it was just enough for me such that as great a place as this is, it just wasn’t for us. I just decided that I’d rather just take care of my wife in our home.

I think that Greenspring is very nice, the people are nice, and it’s a good atmosphere. I think they have one- and two-bedroom apartments. The one that I saw only had a single-bedroom, and it was very nice; if that’s all you want, and that’s all you really need. The thing that really bothers me about Greenspring- and I’m sure other people as well- is what do you do with the lifetime of stuff you’ve accumulated? How can you stuff it into one or two rooms? I guess that’s a general problem that a lot of people are going to have; going from a three- or four-bedroom house into two rooms.
They had a number of activities like movies occasionally. I guess the thing that makes it most attractive to me would be the kind of system setup they have if you needed medical care. I’m quite concerned about meeting certain needs. Any degrading in medical care is not something that I could easily accept, but I guess what they have is good. They have the cleaning; you don’t have to pull stuff around, and so forth.

My mother was in Greenspring, and the place was outstanding. They're on top of their game. They take care of their patients and make sure they have their medications on time. If patients needed to do physical, occupational, or speech therapy, they made sure they're scheduled. If they have appointments outside the facility, they make sure that transportation is ready for them, and even make the appointments for them. They're just outstanding. The room that she was in was hospital-like because she's was in acute rehab. It had her bed, TV, phone, and a bathroom but no shower; they had scheduled shower time for their patients. They kept the residents active. If the residents want to go outside for some air, they do that. They try to make the residents go to the dining area instead of having food in their room, so they can associate with other residents. Their food was good, and their dining area was nice. They have people serve whatever the residents want to eat at the time, and everybody had different tables. They had an entertainment area with a TV and other places where they can associate or interact with one another.

While the direct care staff is generally very good, this can be "spotty".
For Administrative staff, again a very mixed bag. Communications can be very slow and difficult.
If considering moving in, please read the details of the "end-game" very carefully.
In my mother's case a very large deposit was held for years.
If you change care levels, you can be billed for both rooms until GreenSpring gets someone else to take the old room (you pay for the room and 90% of the services [that you are not using])
This is even worse if your loved one passes away.. It currently appears that we will be charged for 3 months of extended care (after my mother's passing) - approx. $30k for facilities not used and services not received. We are still waiting for the deposit return (may be an additional 45 days on top of the 90 already passed).
While trying to resolve this final refund, I currently have 3 e-mails and 1 phone call that have not been returned by GreenSpring.
I now have to consider using a lawyer or a consumer advocacy group (7 On your Side?) to get Greensprings to return over $150k in deposit.

We are in Greenspring, and we are very happy here. We have an apartment with a big living area, two large bedrooms, and a kitchen. We have never found anybody who is unpleasant and it is by far the best of its type in the Springfield, Virginia area. They serve three meals a day, and one is included in your rent, so we take dinner in the dining room, but we cooked our breakfast and lunch. The food is institutional food, and it is a very good, very varied menu; there are four major dining halls with three or four other eating facilities on the campus, and we are roughly 2000 residents here. There are 24 buildings on campus, and you have to be 62 years old to get in here. They have bridge clubs, quilting clubs, exercises, and they have one fitness center with all kinds of exercise machines, they have a post office, convenient stores, a pharmacy, and a medical center. They have a number of doctors on campus who served almost any kind of ailment you can think of. Plus, it is not expensive.

I was not impressed with Greenspring at all. The staff was rude. When I went there, I had an appointment, but they lost my appointment. I had a gentleman look at me and say, "Normally I'm not here on Saturday, but I'll make an exception, but we will have to do this quickly." That right there is a red flag for me because you're supposed to be telling me how great you are, but you're just showing me that you don't care about anything. I wasn't impressed with a place that expects you to pay out a big deposit and then your monthly fee, and then this man is acting like this? I saw people sitting in wheelchairs, and they weren't being taken care of. I got to see one of the rooms that were up for rent, which is an efficiency, it was okay, but I just wasn't pleased with the staff. I was kind of disappointed. For as much money as you're putting into this place, I wasn't impressed at all. I didn't see any activities. When you come in, it is almost set up like a hospital. I went down to one room, and people were just in there sitting, nobody was really doing anything, nobody was interacting. It just reminded me of a very glorified nursing home. I was looking at the assisted, which also had skilled there. I wasn't allowed to see the skilled area because they didn't have my appointment. To me, that's like telling me, if I can't go into a room except when you know I'm coming, there is something up. I was rushed in and out like a yo-yo.
