Review for Royal Care at Birch Ridge

Started odd great. Lots of unmet promises. Had to ask for room cleaning, bathroom cleaning. There were times my husband was only bather mince a week. It was a very difficult time. My husband did not get the care her needed. Night shift was terrible.

I like the facility. I think there should be a handicap entry door and remove carpet. People in wheelchairs cannot maneuver on the floor. Thanks

Quiet and Comfortable community with areas for improvement.

What they could improve on would be - Quality of care / staff. The food, they need to track who has gotten meals and who hasn't. Residents have a right to choose to eat in their room and not in the dining room. Coffee should be a basic not a luxury. Changes to admin staff and increasing prices without better quality of facilities or staff. No activities. Not enough engagement.

Yes...they need an automated door for people with walkers and wheelchairs plus carpet needs removed. Stroke patients with use of 1 arm are unable to maneuver around. Nurse [name removed] on day shift is an exceptional person.

Feedback

The staff is great. Things I think could be improved is... My brother is in a wheelchair. He is a stroke patient. They have carpet on the floors which makes it near impossible for him to maneuver around. Also. I think any facility should have automatic doors. As most patients need assistance with walking. A covering for pick up and drop off would be very helpful. Once again. The staff is great.

New management moving in the right direction.

Albeit a small assisted living, and affordable one, I'm hoping the kinks can be worked out with the new management. The new manager is working hard to turn things around but still has a ways to go.

Overall good place. Staff goes above and beyond to care for residents.

Like all places, the staff there have really stepped up to do everything necessary to fill in for the lack of staff. Getting people to work is terrible. Hire someone and you're lucky if they even show up or stay past a few days when asked to help fill in. Sadly places like Royal Care are feeling this, but they are also lucky to have staff that will step up and help wherever they're needed. The burn out for this field is rampant. The only reason I rated activities at a 3 is because there currently is not an activities director. I know they're working on it. Overall we've had a great experience. I like that they give open and honest responses to questions and don't try to hide anything. Also, no need to set appointments to go there.

Would not recommend

We have gone through 3 administrators and my loved one has only been here for a couple of months. There is a lot of staffing turnover which is affecting the quality of care my loved one is receiving. I have reached out to them and have gotten no response. Due to our experience, I would not recommend them to other families looking.

They do a really good job and do what they're supposed to do.

It has been a good experience so far. They take care of Mom. I don't feel like I have to be there every day to make that happen. They're friendly and helpful. And they take good care of her and do their job. They're very attentive.

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Virginia regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia regulations for Assisted Living.
