Edgewood Virginia I Sr Lvg

4.1
Our family has been part of Edgewood for many years. We enjoy the activities, but hope to have more age appropriate activities. The help there is always nice and do their best. Pricing is a bit expensive for the range area. We just love Kelley the new clinical services director.

So far, my mother has been happy with her move to the New Perspective. She is still adjusting, but the staff has all been very accommodating. She has a favorite aide there.
