My Rock at Spring Hills Mount Vernon Assisted Living
reviewed on: 03/05/2015 by Bill YoungI have wanted to write a review for a long time but I kept putting it off. I think that it is time to speak about an employee at Spring Hills Mount Vernon (SH) --- Ms. Carolyn Ko, Director of Resident Care. Anyone who is living or has lived with a loved one in dementia understands the stress that constantly increases as that loved one drifts further away. Where do I turn to, where do I go from here, and more importantly, what lies ahead. I needed an anchor, someone to talk to, in short, I needed a “ROCK” to hold on to in order to keep my emotions in check. I found that rock in Carolyn Ko. My wife has been a resident at SH for the last 18 months. In that time Carolyn has been there for me. Listening to my babbling – just listening. Her presence gave me strength. Carolyn has the passion and compassion of her profession. Her counsel has always been straight forward and caring-- and it still is. I remember the times when I was home in the evenings and the phone would ring. This would happen many times; sometimes at 8:00 pm and other times at 9 or 10 PM. I would answer the phone and the voice of Carolyn would come back at me with “Bill, this is Carolyn, what are you doing?” “Nothing” “Well I just left the office, talk to me”. She would then tell me all of my wife’s ups and downs, her setbacks and her accomplishments. She would call constantly. Needless to say that I found my “ROCK”. I remember the night when the phone rang and you guessed it, it was Carolyn however it was a different type of phone call. “Bill, can I drop by for a glass of wine?” --- Sure. That night we talked about what to expect and what I needed to do in preparation for finality. My ROCK talked and I cried. I needed to hear this, I needed to be prepared. I had mentioned my need for more information to Carolyn in the past and she ignored it. She just knew that I was not ready. This night she knew that it was time. Sweet Carolyn sat there talking to me, holding my hand, letting me cry and then she told me that what I was doing was a normal part of the grieving process that it was alright to feel the way I did. She validated what I was saying and feeling. This conversation could not be conducted in her office or over the phone. It had to take place in a comfortable familiar setting – my living room. Her foresight on how to approach this subject and where to conduct it was outstanding. I am now empowered with the tools I need. I have her gift of knowledge. My wife and I just celebrated our 55th year together. How much longer will I have her? Who knows. I do know that I am ready for whatever comes my way. Carolyn made me get ready. She made me get into a comfort zone. She made me stronger. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE CAROLYN Ko’s. Bill Young 10/8/14

Review of Spring Hills Mt. Vernon - Alexandria, VA
reviewed on: 01/04/2016 by Barbara StrangeI was very impressed with the first person I came in contact with when looking for a place for my cousin. That person was Tracey [removed]. She was very helpful, knowledgeable, patient and professional. Her customer service skills are top notch - she definitely made an impression on us and what she told us about Spring Hills has been true. I am happy we selected this assisted living community for my cousin.
Beautiful Bright Community
reviewed on: 06/09/2016 by AnonymousMy sister is doing very well here at this community. They are taking good of her and her needs. They do a good job with keeping her room and facility nice and clean. The staff is nice, they have been pretty helpful and kind. She is participating in few activities. She is getting more involved in the community everyday. I love the bright big windows she has in her room. She is meeting some new people. I'am confident about the care she is receiving.
