“I am currently a patient at the Martha Jefferson House.Exceptional is the only word to describe the Martha Jefferson House in Charlottesville, Virginia.And that word applies to everything about it: the nurses; the administrative staff; the activities for residents; even the food!MJH consists of 4 separate living facilities that are joined and offer a wide variety of options for assisted living. These include separate 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and suites, some come with kitchenettes or full kitchens, washers and dryers, heated bathroom floors and outdoor terraces.Some include 1, or 3 (depending on which facility you occupy) freshly prepared meals per day prepared by an outstanding food service staff with a variety of selections for each meal.One of the facilities offers residents independent living plus assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) for those who don't require nursing care.The fourth building is for intermediate nursing care for residents who require nursing care around the clock, seven days per week.With a proper doctor's referral, MJH offers all residents physical and occupational therapy 5 days per week from a well trained, professional staff. The small gym also welcomes non-residents from the local community, with that same referral.There is a daily list of activities available to all residents: board games; music performances by local artists; bingo; trivia; exercise and meditation classes; tai chi; trips into the community; and many more. Accomodations have been made so that even residents confined to a wheelchair can participate in almost all of them. There's even a wine and cheese hour on Friday evenings.All of the staff from the Director down to the housekeepers and maintenance personnel are friendly, happy, upbeat and bend over backwards to accommodate any reasonable request.A Doctor and Nurse Practitioner visit residents needing around the clock nursing care 2 days each week and are on call all other times.The food offes a great variety with at least 2 choices for every meal. The food is well prepared and seasoned. It is definitely not typical institutional food. More impressive is the fact that their in house food service staff will make every effort to satisfy your individual requests. Most of the food is restaurant quality.This is a well run, efficient, welcoming, pleasant facility perfect for senior citizens and those you love. It's truly a home away from home.”

“I don't think I'd call this a botanical garden in the sense of what one might expect of a garden - was really more of a park. There was a nice little labyrinth on one of the paths. A nice little walk.”
