Our family's experience

The name has been recently changed to The Berkeley at Short Pump. It is difficult to evaluate accurately with new management. However, they seem to be responsive to concerns. The care giving staff has been very good. The medication technicians have been very prompt. My two concerns are with housekeeping and communication. I think my husbands room should be cleaned more thoroughly. Communication updates from the on site Dr and activities there haven't been good. This is one of the main goals for the manager. Too so

Review for Vitality Living West End Richmond

Currently very low on staff in memory care unit. However, staff is very attentive emotionally. Staff maintains a caring environment. Rooms can be cleaned more efficiently.
