I was very impressed with The View Alexandria, but it's a little bit out of our price range. It's a very nice facility. I was there between breakfast and lunch, so I didn't see a lot of people doing different activities. I saw some people watching a movie. I saw a studio and a one-bedroom. I thought they would work, and it's not large. They showed me some common areas where the residents gather. Everything was spotless.

It was excellent. The people were friendly. They had classes, two different types of dining rooms, a pool, and a gym. The residents seemed happy. The apartments were spacious and came in all different sizes.

My mother has signed a contract, and my parents are moving in next month. It’s convenient to where they previously lived. They offer the 3-meals a day. The rooms are good size. They have activities that my parents are interested in. They have transportation to the places they need to go.

We visited and it was great and seemed like the perfect place for a senior. The room was nice and clean. There was a nice salon and good food in the dining area.

I have visited them In Northern Virginia in the past. The staff was accommodating and helpful. The rooms were nice and very clean. They have their own kitchenette and bathrooms, which is good. They also had the typical social activities different outings. They had movie nights too. There were also entertainment and live music. They also take the residents out to the barber shop. It was a fair community.
