Review for The Estates at Charlottesville

[name removed]is fantastic ( as is all the staff). Everyone has a great attitude (even when nobody is looking!). It isn't a show, they genuinely care for the residents and want to make everyone feel welcome and at home

Exceptional people!

Since my first contact with Brittany Barker I’ve been treated kindly and with the highest level of professionalism I’ve ever experienced. I’m honored to be here—[Names Removed]—the list goes on and all are amazing!

The administrator was very helpful in answering questions and giving me information. I was able to see two different styles of rooms. I was impressed at the amount of room that was there. All of the staff seemed friendly. It is easy to get to and from since it is right off of Route 29 in Charlottesville. I hope that we can bring my mother-in-law in to see it soon.
