I toured Greenspring. It was very impressive. The campus is very, very well maintained. The buildings are very well-designed and well-kept. The rooms are a little smaller than at other places but very attractive and very well-kept. I tried their food, and it was very good. As far as I can tell, the menu was very well-designed and quite varied. They have quite a few activities and their amenities seemed very well designed and very much an incentive. They had a very attractive indoor pool, a very good fitness center, a very good game room, and very good meeting facilities.

Greenspring is a very large community that gives you lots of options for friends and activities. They have a lot of dining options. They have a swimming pool. They have covered areas that get sun, but you don't get a suntan. They have a lot of parking and a lot of security. It was clean and maintained. There were maintenance people all over the place.

We went to Greenspring. It's expensive, and it didn't look that good. The staff was nice, the rooms were nice and clean, but for a one-bedroom and a den, for $4000 with one bathroom, it just seemed over the top. They gave us a meal, the food was good. They had an excellent pool, the pool was good, but everything had an added cost. The tour was great, but it was more than what we wanted to spend. The place was small for us. They were not telling you about the thirty dollars here and there, and it's not free parking.

There is a saying that if something is too good to be true it probably is. My mom fell in love with the physical location and layout of Greenspring. Everyone seemed so friendly and helpful during our tour and the move in process. However, the true colors of the administration were revealed when my mom experienced an issue with loud noise waking her up all hours of the night coming from another residents TV and radio. After trying unsuccessfully to resolve the issue with the other resident herself, she turned to the administrative staff for assistance. After eight months of constant pleas for help, the issue remains unresolved and the situation has taken a toll on her physical and mental health. The administrative staff are unwilling to help her in any manner, they are unresponsive to her communications and are downright condescending to her. If you want a beautiful physical facility to live in, Greenspring fits the bill. If you want compassion, assistance or any type of intervention when you encounter a problem, as everyone living in a facility like this will need at some point, steer clear or at least go in with your eyes wide open.

Greenspring was a very nice senior community for all levels of care, and it's very well run. My stepmother stayed there for eight years. The rooms were very nice. She had two bedrooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, and she had decorated it with her own furniture. She ate a couple of meals a day at their dining facilities, and the food was very good. It's well managed from what she told me. They had an exercise center and classes, a library, and activities that they can get involved with. It's a very nice village. I was very impressed, and she really loved the place. It's well organized and easy for the residents to get around. The food was good. She was very happy there, and she had made lots of friends.

There's a lot to like and a lot to dislike about Greenspring Village in Springfield, VA. While the property is expensive and requires a substantial down payment with monthly fees, it does have a great deal to offer it's "Independent Living" residents. There are endless organized activities, clubs, special events, trips, special services, dining options, fitness, re-hab and healthcare facilities available. The "Assisted Living" section of the campus is an entirely different world and leaves MUCH to be desired in every respect. The real down side to the Springfield location and Erickson in general is with the Administration and employees of the HQ offices. Once they have your money...their lack of professionalism, efficiency, record keeping and support is appalling and devoid of real customer service. You can count on them; to lose documents, not accept responsibility, not communicate effectively (or at all), be unprofessional and downright rude. This is based on my direct experiences over a 14 year period and primarily with the Administration, Admissions and Accounting Departments; the one's you would think would be the MOST professional and efficient. If you have a problem in one of these area's...good luck getting someone to accept responsibility, follow-though or even call you back. - Caveat emptor!

My parents live at Greenspring and they couldn't be in a better place. Yes, it is expensive, but as they say, you get what you pay for. My mother recently had knee replacement surgery and was able to do her rehab in the Greenspring campus in their own rehab center. Both mom and dad have severe mobility issues, and Greenspring home support has provided aides to help them get dressed, prepare meals, and pick up around the apartment. My sisters and I sleep better at night knowing mom and dad have round the clock care a phone call away.

My visit at Greenspring went fine. They all seemed friendly and nice. My friend's 2-bedroom is spacious and nice. They had all kinds of activities, like Bingo and water exercise. The place was clean.

The tour I had at Greenspring was very comprehensive and very pleasant. I enjoyed seeing the different apartments and the different facilities. I liked that the buildings were all connected by climate-controlled hallways.

DISCLOSURE OF WAITING PERIOD TO GET YOUR OWN MONEY RETURNED TO YOU. I put $1000 down to hold me a spot should I decide that I wanted to move to Greenspring Village. (This was over 2 years ago) I have now decided that I will stay in my own home and hire Caregivers when the time arrives that I need them.
Last week, I called to say that I wanted my deposit returned because I won't be moving in. I sent a registered letter stating my desire to cancel the deposit. Guess how long it will take me to get the deposit---45 to 60 days. What could be the hold-up. I gave my money with good faith and it was available immediately but to get my own money back it is a 45-60 days waiting period. I think this should be disclosed when you give them the money or before so you can make a better decision on how to spend the $1000.

You have to buy-in a unit at Greenspring. Upon my death or if I move out, they keep 10% of the cost of the unit. That’s their new policy now, so that’s stopping me from moving in. The atmosphere is nice. If you go to the dining room to eat, you have to do a lot of walking. The apartments are nice. I like everything about Greenspring except the long walk to the dining area from the apartment that I’m looking at buying and the fact that they get 10% of my hard-earned money.

My parents have been living in Greenspring. The staff is friendly. They have a two-bedroom apartment, which is just perfect for what they need. They have a lot of activities available to them, but if you want to take a class, you have to pay for it. One meal a day is included with their dues. The people who live there seem to be very happy. But it's too costly. If you have to go to assisted living, that triples your price. They pay $3000 a month, and they get one meal even if they already haves owned and paid for their place. No appreciation when you no longer need the apartment, but they give you back your original investment minus the apartment cost. They have a weight room/exercise facility available to the residents. The dining facility is fine, and the food is excellent.

Greenspring is a very nice facility, and it is large. They have a lot of options for the residents. People were nice. My father liked it, and he is working on his final decisions right now. The rooms were very nice, and they have a wide variety of different floor plans available. They were very well lit, has a lot of closet space, and has a nice kitchen. In terms of activities, they did have a lot of activities such as arts and crafts and wood working, and they have some classes that you can pick from. They also have a swimming pool. Overall, the facility did appeal to him.

Greenspring was too big and overwhelming for me, plus it was also too expensive. It was one of those rehabs where you had to sell your estate to buy into it. I had a number of neighbors that had done that. They sold their houses and moved there. Also, one thing about these institutions that doesn't seemed to ever come up in the literature or description was that they were all focused on activities. They were focused on social events and activities, and I was just the opposite. I was a raging introvert, and I was looking at the opposite. I was looking for peace and solitude. They had just an institutional dining room, but it was a nice restaurant. The food was pretty good, I guess. It was a top, but it was a very expensive place.

Greenspring at Erickson Living looked nice. There were a lot of activities and a lot of people to do activities with such as card playing, swimming in their indoor pool, and a lot of other things. I am planning to move into their independent living section. Depending on the size of the apartment you want, there are 19 different styles of apartments and depending on the one that you pick, there is so much space. The staff was kind of attentive, but the food, I hear, is very good and we did have lunch there. I would like to see more restaurants rather than having to walk through the park to get to one.

Greenspring is a very big place and it's very expensive. The few apartments that we visited were very nice and you can cook your own meals if you want to. They had a lot of people coming in to visit that day, and we took a tour at the premises. We had a meal in the dining room which was very good. It's a huge place they have a golf course, swimming pools, different buildings that cater to different levels of care for the residents. The place is very clean. They had a lot of activities to offer. They take people to shopping or to visit museums. It was very well organized.

I'm very impressed with Greenspring. I visited this place for my parents, and right now, they are just on the waiting list. They showed us around and showed a number of different units. We also talked about the financial arrangement. Because my folks want to have extended care that lasts until they die, they decided to do buy-in to Greenspring. My parents also wanted two bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathroom and they happened to offer that particular model. We are actually waiting for that one to come up. Their staff was very nice and very professional. They have activities as well. I know my parents like their swimming pool and their training room. We talked about other activities but I just don't remember them in particular.

My experience was my first at a retirement community and they were much different than I thought. the Campus itself was very large yet the building set up was very tasteful and upscale. The fees for residency were around $20,000 a year which seemed very expensive to me but the quality of life was very good and the amenities offered were excellent and the community seemed self-sufficient and to some degree very self-sufficient. There were convenience stores as well as a pool, gym and a fully functioning dining service which notably was extremely luxurious. The food was excellent and although it was somewhat reminiscent of a cafeteria the actual dining hall was very large and very well designed with picturesque views and ambient lighting that created a large restaurant vibe. Overall despite the price I think the community would be an excellent choice for those tired of dealing with rent, mortgages and property upkeep.
