My mother stayed in Chancellor's Village for ten years. Her apartment was very nice. She had a den, she had a separate living area with an adjoining kitchen, a separate dining area, a bedroom, two bathrooms, and a balcony. And it was very nice. If you had to go to the hospital and come back, they would bring you meals to your room. You automatically get one meal a day. They have a very large dining area with linen tablecloths and everything. It's very nice. The food's good. The place was clean. They have activities all the time and their activities director was very good. I went on some of their trips with my mother. They go to the dinner theater, museums, gardens, tours, and formal tea parties, this was before COVID. They'd have bingo every week, they'd have movie nights and popcorn every week and had an activity room if you just wanted to come down, sit and put puzzles together with your friends. They had bridge. They had a poker table, they had computers you could use. They have their own mail service. Everybody brings the mail in and you have your own little post office box. The problem was they kept raising the rent. The price went up every single year. But they do have excellent security there, which is one thing my mother liked, she felt safe there. The security guards were excellent.

I toured Chancellor's Village. They need to upgrade their rooms. I think it was a lot more money than what we're paying. I was hoping to end up there, so I wouldn't have to leave my friends, but it didn't turn out that way. I like the warm feeling. They were very kind. I just don't want to go into some place and think I have to renovate. They need to upgrade. I think the carpeting is sold. I was there when it was built, and it was nice then, but you have to keep up with the times. The person who welcomed us was lovely. The dining area looked nice, but I didn't eat there. The facility needed upgrading. It was clean though. I know they drive them wherever they need to go.

I liked the Chancellor's Village in Fredericksburg independent living. I think their staff really seemed connected to the clients. They seem to know people and they're on a first-name basis. The residents were very cheerful and we got a good and warm feeling there. The only thing we didn't care about was that there wasn't all that much in the way of extracurricular activities. They seemed warm and friendly. The chef made us a fresh pizza to take home and sample. He also made us a jar of tomato soup to take home with us, and that was kind of nice. We got a sense of a little bit of what comes out of the dining room. The food was good. The rooms were nice. Many of them had balconies where you could put a chair to sit outside and just kind of be by yourself. They were clean and bright. If I'm not mistaken, they had a room that was just set up for visits. The grounds seemed well-maintained. I didn't notice anything negative. The only shortcoming is that it's just a block off of a major highway. While we're still driving, hopefully, we'll still be driving when we move in there, but it's a lot of traffic to contend with. If you don't have a car, if you're not driving anymore, then it's really not an issue. They had a lot of activities within the community itself. Outside of the building though, there wasn't a whole lot to do activity-wise. Within the facility, they had a board with all the different things that were taking place every single day. It seemed like there was a good variety of activities inside.

We also liked Chancellor's Village, but they couldn't do the care levels that my mother needed. We only toured the independent part of it. They're all small apartments, and they all have a balcony or a patio. It's an excellent place to live if you're an independent senior because it's a large building of very many independent seniors, so they have activities, and a very small, but complete apartment.

Natalie was wonderful. She gave us a tour of the facility on short notice, and it was beautiful. Natalie spent so much time patiently answering all of our questions and made us feel so much at home. My parents are excited about moving there next week!

I visited Chancellor's Village. it's independent and then you can add services when you need them. It was very nice, very classy, and it's a place where you dress for dinner. It was absolutely gorgeous, they have a nice menu, there's nothing out of place, and it looked like a model home. They go on lots of trips, there's a physical therapist, private nurse, the apartments have a full stove, they have a beauty parlor, and they have a podiatrist who comes in.

My mother was at Chancellor's Village. It was very clean. They had lots of activities for the people. They had a very good restaurant right inside the building. It seemed very active. There were always people out in the hallways. The other residents were always friendly. The staff members were great. They were absolutely topnotch. My mother's room was an apartment. It had a separate bedroom, a separate kitchen with a granite countertop and stainless steel appliances. Before she moved in, they had re-carpeted the place, repainted everything, and moved in new appliances, including a washer and dryer. They had several activities available. They had a very busy activity calendar. The residents were required to sign up for the activities that they wanted to go to. They also had a library right inside the place. The public library helped bring books by and the residents had their own books in there as well. They also provided one meal a day for free. Additional meals would come at a cost. The place was very nice, very clean, and very well-maintained. They were a little bit more expensive than others, but it was definitely worth it. It was definitely the nicest place that we saw.

Chancellor's Village showed me an independent 1- and 2-bedroom apartment. I was very pleased with the staff member who showed me everything. They spent almost two hours with me. I had seen their amenities and their dining room. They talked to me about the different activities, both onsite and offsite.

Chancellor’s Village was good, nice, and well done. The rooms and dining area were nice and spacious. The staff was very nice, too. It was clean and well appointed but too expensive for me.

Everybody at Chancellor’s Village has been very helpful with my mom and brother. My mom has been there for two years. My brother and mom are in the independent unit, but the problem is that he needs more help, so I have to move him to an assisted living in Connecticut. The rooms are nice and fine and offered as one or two bedrooms. Sometimes the food is good, and sometimes it’s not so good.

Chancellor's Village was nice. The staff seemed fine. The dining room was nice. The rooms were good too. It was pretty much equivalent to the place we chose, but we really wanted to be closer to family in Richmond. It was also much expensive than the place we chose.

Aside from the coziness and charm, Chancellor's Village is fun. My grandparents lived there until my grandfather died. The dining room offers quality gourmet meals and the residents enjoy dining with family and friends whenever they can. Roxanne and Lara love the community and the residents and that love flows over in all that they do. I am a huge fan.

After visiting and dining at other local establishments, I selected Chancellors Village for mother, later recommended to and now also enjoyed by our prior neighbor. Chancellor's Village is hands down the best independent care facility in the Fredericksburg area. Mom, age 96, continued her passions for music by joining the choir, her passion for gardening with prepared resident plots, and enjoyment of family by winning the Halloween contest with children from the surrounding area. That is just one of continuing programs that visited. Outings included trips to the wonderful Marine Museum, theater/concerts and the more casual - Yoder's Market complete with small animals. The maintenance staff showered immediate and continued support to make her feel welcome to the nth detail. A hand selected ambassador helped mom learn the ropes. Rooms provide the most bang for the dollar. Computer classes are not mentioned in the site video which tells more. Outside the dining room doors actual serving selections wet the residents' appetite while resident provided music is enjoyed in the waiting area. The chef catered to my visiting brother's sever health needs upon his visit. Not enough praise can be bestowed for his compassion. Space, food, staff, opportunities, setting, transportation, cost and resident caliber are unsurpassed. I'd give a 4.5 star recommendation if allowed. There will be no remorse if you stop for a visit. Bet you stay.
