Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg was very nice. If I ever go into a senior place, that would probably be the one that I would pick. It's not so confining. It had a front door and a back door that leads to a little patio. It didn't feel like an apartment. It felt more like home.
They provide just about everything to their residents. They provide transportation to your doctor's office or if you want to go shopping, they serve two meals a day, and have different activities like arts and crafts, wine tastings, and stuff like that.
The staff was great. They wanted to be sure that I understood everything. They have called me and invited me to picnics, to view the functions that they have, to dinners, and lunches. They went above and beyond. It's peaceful and gorgeous out there. They have trees around whereas a lot of the other facilities don't have.

I toured Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg and worked with Tina. She was lovely and very, very nice. She showed us all around and explained everything very clearly. It was clean, and it had a lot of amenities that my mother would like. They had a little cafe area and nice apartments. The upkeep was good. It's a very nice place.

I went to Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg, it was nice, but they are awfully expensive, and the building is old. Everything they had to offer was also offered at the other facility. The lady that showed us around was nice. I had a meal there, and the meal was awesome there, but it's just too rich for my blood. The staff did very nicely on the tour. They have a fitness center, they have a swimming pool, they have a lot of activities there.

The Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg looked as if it could be accommodating. The staff was knowledgeable and open to a lot of fresh ideas. From what I saw, the people were very friendly and open for conversation. It looked like they would have a little something for everybody to move into. It depends on what you're looking for.

My mom is in independent living at Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg. Everything about the place is outstanding. It was great during the first visit, and it was great the second visit. They did everything in their power to make it possible for us to be able to move Mom there, so they are the best place in Williamsburg as far as I'm concerned. The staff is excellent, they're very friendly, and very helpful. It's perfect. All I had to do was call them and tell them what time I was showing up with Mom, and they were waiting for us. In terms of activities, she really hasn't had a chance to get involved with too much yet, but she definitely loves the way the dining facility is set up, and now I think she's going to start getting more into the arts and crafts and things like that, but she hasn't had a chance to do too much yet. The food is great, she loves it. I can't come up with a bad thing to say. It's been nothing but a pleasant experience. They have their calendars full every month as far as the kind of activities that they offer and everything. Plus, they have a council that residents are members of, so they can have buy-in on what kind of activities they would like to see, or if they're not seeing everything they want to see, so it's a nice setup.

I was satisfied with the tour and the staff seemed to bend over backward to show me most of the amenities they also brought some dinner to our house. It was very good! They have also followed up with me several times.

I visited Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg. They offer a good price. With independent living, they have a cafeteria. What's good about it was like a stepping stone to assisted living, cause it's less expensive, it's less care, so that's what we liked about it. My mom is 92 and she's in pretty good shape. So, she can move around pretty good on her own. They had good layout. It had 1-bedroom, a studio, 2-bedrooms, and the layouts are pretty good. They had villas that were off the main building. There's a lot of variety. One is in the main building that was pretty good and modern. They're good people and friendly. They had a pool, an outdoor pool, and walking trails. In the main building, they had cafeteria place, they have a memory care unit and assisted living unit.

We would not consider the accommodations at Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg for the price that they offered. A lot of reconditioning was done to the facility. The residents could go from independent living to assisted living to memory care. They had a library, and the dining facilities were pleasant. We had lunch there the first time that we visited. They had an activity room, a person who ran the fitness program, and an outdoor pool. They had villas, but I was not pleased with the big trees hanging over the small building. It was pretty good though because they had a one car garage in the villas.

Brookdale Chambrel Williamsburg was nice. The lady during the tour was very nice, very accommodating, and showed me around. I saw a nice little villa with a garage attached. It's a bigger facility than the others I looked at, with more people, a little more formal, and a little more expensive. The lunch we had was quite good. The apartments were comfortable, and the villa had a little porch on the back. They have normal activities, and they have a bus that takes people downtown to shop, outings to lunch, and sightseeing.

Brookdale Williamsburg was very nice. In fact, we stayed overnight. We were going to get a hotel room, and they said, "No, stay here with us." So, we stayed in a one-bedroom apartment. We were shown all around, and it was very nice. The food was very good, too.

Chambrel was very similar to the place I am moving into. The only difference is you rent the facility there in Virginia and, of course, we buy it here in Iowa. The rooms were nice. I have eaten the food there, and their chefs went out of their way to take care of my diet requirements. I was able to speak with the managers, the assistant managers, the chefs, and the workers that keep the place clean and maintained.

Chambrel was very nice. It was quite lovely, but it was in Williamsburg, and our daughter is going to move to Newport News, and that is why we want to move there. They have all the activities that you can think of. They have exercises, movies, trips, concerts, lectures or anything you want practically.

My mother’s care is doing very well at Chambrel. There are all sorts of activities available but she hasn’t used any of them yet. She’s on oxygen so she goes up to the dining room and right now that’s the extent of what she’s doing. They post many activities they have planned for them and they have this all the time. They have transportation, physical therapy and all that stuff there; and she’s been to the salon so the salon is also a benefit. It’s an old place but clean. The staff is excellent. They’re so polite and they are so caring. I would recommend it. It’s got all things in house. The chef does an excellent job with the food. I’ve tasted the food and my mother seemed to be very pleased with the food. All the people there are just as nice and personable; and so I don’t think you could ask any much more than that.

I found Chambrel very nice. The girl who helped me was very personable and knowledgeable. I really like the facility, and it was actually one that was on my mom's short list if she moved down here. I looked at the independent living which was like apartments. They were very nice and very spacious. They had bingo, reading groups, movie nights and trips out shopping. I'd like to move there.

Chambrel at Williamsburg was the first one I toured at Williamsburg and this place is very nice. The place was very elegant. Everything was excellent although it was a little too far. The residents were very friendly and nice. It was like home. The people there interacted well with each other and they welcomed me and they said they hope I would come and stay with them. The amenities were good. Some students would come in periodically and would perform for the residents and I really like that one.
