Recent reviews for assisted living in Buena

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.

The Blake at Charlottesville

4.9

Harpers Station Gainesville

I would and do highly recommend Harper's Station. Dad was very happy there. His and my only issue was phone service. It was constantly going down for hours to days at a time. Dad was one of the first residents there so it may have been resolved by now.
