Recent reviews for nursing homes 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.
The Phoenix at Harrisonburg
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.
Hidden Springs Senior Living in Bentonville, VA
5.0
My husband and I are both residents. He was transferred to their medical unit. This is in the same building so I am able to visit him at any time. A safety feature for all residents is to wear a call button. I have pushed my button at 2am and whoever is working has responded quickly.
