Recent reviews for assisted living in Dorcas

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.

Hidden Springs Senior Living in Bentonville, VA

4.9
Everyone gives 100%. Caring is priority. This coupled with kindness = home run! Maintenance, laundry, housekeeping, food services, CNA's, nurses, med techs - everyone! If you don't consider and tour this facility, it could be a huge mistake.

English Meadows Harrisonburg Campus

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.
