"Elance at West End offers so much more than other senior communities I've visited. Their robust activity programming is truly impressive, and I especially love their lifelong learning classes. What's even better is that these classes are available to both residents and the public at no cost! One of my favorite activities is the paint and sip. The community also boasts a beautiful terrace and a fantastic movie theater. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I've visited other RUI properties, and Elance at West End is definitely one of my favorites!" - Rose… Read more

"My mother moved to The Goodwin House in Alexandria a few years after my father passed away. She absolutely loved it. She had a sunny one-bedroom apartment, and she participated in a number of activities and classes that were offered. She made new friends and enjoyed delicious dinners and, often, musical programs in the evenings. When her health declined and she had to move onto the healthcare unit, I knew she would be well cared for. I was only three hours away and could visit her often. I am so grateful to everyone on the staff for the delicious meals, interesting activities and local trips, and the wonderful care they took of my mom. Everyone was professional, yet compassionate and thoughtful" - Sue… Read more

"It’s nice to read the positive reviews of Silverado Alexandria. I sincerely wish our family had been able to write one. My father entered Silverado Alexandria in November 2025 after our family was impressed by everything we were told the facility had to offer. Over the next several months, however, we experienced significant staff turnover, poor communication, unexpected charges, unkept promises, and, most concerning, serious issues involving my father’s safety. Eventually, we felt we had no choice but to move him to a Silverado facility in California. He passed away in June." - Greg… Read more
