It feels like home!
Paul Spring Community is not like any other senior community. As soon as you step in, it has a sense of home. Every staff member is so kind, respectful and professional. The residents seemed so happy and well cared for. I wouldn't look any further for a senior community. I highly suggest in getting a personalized tour, have lunch with a resident and perhaps stay for an activity. They have ample of activities that are available to the community.

Beautiful and easy to navigate!
I toured yesterday and found this community to be so beautiful bright and unique (it’s a renovated school!). It offers independent living and assisted living, and there’s a memory care unit as well. It was nice to see so many residents enjoying their lunches and conversation. I really thought the “vintage” items displayed in the memory care area (inspiritas) were very thoughtful and memory-provoking of simpler times… it was a bright and engaging “neighborhood!”
The staff from reception to the caregivers and administration throughout the community were all very helpful when I had questions. The pricing seemed to offer great value for our area, too. Very impressive!

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Virginia regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia regulations for Assisted Living.
