AMETHYST CARE HOME @ VIRGINIA

My mother has lived at Addie’s for a year and a half and has received the best care! The staff is considerate and competent. They go above and beyond to meet the needs and wants of those in their care by preparing delicious, homemade meals, celebrations of all holidays and birthdays, dispensing the various meds all throughout the day, and so much more. Bob, owner of Addie’s, has a heart of gold and treats each lady like his own mother. Our mother is treated with the utmost respect and dignity by all in the home. She is in good hands at Addie’s and that brings us such peace of mind.

Visited Addie's cottage to see if it was a good place for my mom to get care while she recovered from being bed ridden for 3 weeks after surgery complications. This home is located in a nice quiet neighborhood and we visited on very short notice and it was super clean and homie. We met all the other residents there and they seemed happy and well taken care of. Met also family members visiting and they said it was the best place they found after having their loved ones in a few other homes. All the workers and visitors wear masks, have all their vaccines and have temperature taken before they go in. They have 24 hour care and every resident has their own room. There are multiple bathrooms that look nice, clean and are set up well for handicapped. Bob is who we talked to on the phone and gave us the tour, he is such a wonderful, caring and empathetic person who really understands caregiving and what we're going through. I would feel really comfortable having my mom stay at Addie's Cottage more than any other Board and Care home. For our situation, we decided because of her severe anxiety and depression that it was best for our family to take the caregiving role on since it may only be a month until she has more mobility and can get back to independence in a couple months. This would be a great place for people who aren't able to take the caregiving role on though.

We were so lucky when we found Addie's Cottage as my father's new home. Bob, Ruth, Kim, Teresa and ALL the staff truly have created a safe and loving home for their residents. We were always welcomed when we came to visit and got to know the other residents. It's one big family there, and each and every person is treated as family. I sometimes showed up at "game time" and they even let me play! Mealtimes were extra special. The food is always fresh and delicious, planned for max nutrition and accounting for individual's dietary needs, and prepared by the staff. And listening to the table talk among the residents was hilarious. The ratio of staff to resident is very good at Addie's. My dad (and all of his family) knew each and every other resident and staff member. Addie's took the stress out of managing appointments and other medical challenges. The care with which they interacted with my dad was simply priceless, and to know he was happy there and was loved - and believe me, dad loved everybody right back - meant so much more than I can put into words. Dad lived previously at other care facilities. Addie's Cottage is the only one he considered "home". Dad passed away a few months ago, and the dignity shown to him and his family was comforting and appreciated. In short, if you're looking for a place for your loved one where they can feel like they really are at home, where you can come visit as if it's their home, where you know their personal needs, hygiene needs, nutrition needs and just about any kind of need you can think of will be met, if you want peace of mind knowing that your loved one is safe, cared for and loved, then Addie's Cottage is a perfect match.

Wonderful Family Environment Our family was delighted to find a warm friendly environment for our grandmother at Addie's Cottage. We had looked at several other options and board and cares which was so distressing not only due to the sense of urgency to place her but what we found at other board and care homes. Meeting Bob, Ruth, Kim and all the staff and residences was so refreshing and warm. We immediately knew this was a good fit. Grandma has now been with Addie's for well over a year now. The family environment, fresh cooked meals and tender caring staff has been exactly what she needed. She has not only thrived at Addies. The staff is so attentive and works well with her hospice provider. They always have our best interest at heart and care for her as if she were their own mother or grandmother. Addie's staff attention to details has helped take note of changes in grandma's health to quickly alert hospice and communicate with our family. Necessary adjustments are made in a collaborative manner for her care and she has again thrived on multiple occasions. We have such peace of mind with grandma being cared for so well at Addie's. Visiting grandma is also such a breeze. We have a large family and many family friends who visit grandma. All are welcome and visits are encouraged. It is also fun to run into family of the other residents as well. Thank you Bob and Ruth for creating and sustaining this wonderful home for our loved ones!

Addie's Cottage is an absolutely wonderful community! I am so grateful that we have found such an amazing place for my aunt to live. It is a home environment that is always so clean and cheery. I love how they go all out to decorate and celebrate every holiday and occasion. But the much more important factor is how truly loving the care is! The owners, Bob and Ruth, the manager, Kim, and the caregivers are all so kind and patient. They clearly love what they are doing and it shows in everything they do. The peace of mind that I have knowing my aunt is being lovingly looked after is beyond measure. If you have a loved one who is in need of care, do not hesitate to reach out to the folks at Addie's Cottage; I cannot recommend them highly enough!
