Recent reviews for assisted living in Fort Defiance
Bellaire at Stone Port in Harrisonburg, VA
4.5
The major factors were the size of the community. It is small enough to not be intimidating. The other huge factor for my brother is that it actually has a decent size group of older guys who eat together, watch sports events together and keep each other company.
Regency at Augusta in Fishersville, VA
4.9
This is an excellent community. The community has lots of activities to keep the residents busy.
There are three meals a day served and there are choices to choose from.
The staff are great to work with, and they are able to answer our questions quickly.
The Phoenix at Harrisonburg
3.7
Experience has been, for the most part, good. I still have some things that I need to figure out or speak to someone about, and honestly, I would love it if there were a community much closer. I would definitely recommend it.
