A Truly Supportive Memory Care Community…read more I noticed there's currently only one other review posted. I appreciate that perspective, and I wanted to add my own experience as a longtime family caregiver. I'm not an attorney or a healthcare professional - just someone who's spent the last decade immersed in elder care, including leading caregiver support groups. My mom has lived at Chantilly Heights for over two years, and I'm sharing based on that firsthand, ongoing experience. My mom has lived at Chantilly Heights Memory Care since December 2022, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Fun fact: she earned the rare distinction of being the first (and to my knowledge, still only) resident to move herself in - meaning she was physically fit enough to do it with me and a U-Haul we rented together! I spent six months researching facilities before choosing Chantilly Heights, specifically looking for a community dedicated solely to memory care (rather than combined assisted living/memory care facilities). After experiences with two other facilities and reviewing many more, I became convinced that a specialized memory care environment would be best for my mom. Chantilly Heights (then known as Arbor Terrace Fairfax) has consistently proven that belief correct. When I first toured, Cre Jackson, the Facilities Director, was the first person to take me around. Cre set a welcoming tone from the start and has remained a trusted advisor ever since. Rachel Moore later guided us through onboarding and did a stellar job walking us through every step. While Rachel has since moved on (as another reviewer noted), my experience has been that from the front desk to the kitchen team to management and care staff, the people at Chantilly Heights genuinely care. It's clear for many that elder care isn't just a job - it's a calling - and the emotional intelligence they show daily is remarkable. That said, no place is perfect. There have been periodic staffing changes (common in this industry), and about six months after my mom moved in, Arbor Terrace divested, with Hamister Group taking over and rebranding the community as Chantilly Heights. That transition brought challenges, but through it all, the team - particularly Executive Director Brian Zurakowski -remained committed and supportive. As the only child of two parents facing late-stage degenerative disease, I can say this journey has been made far more manageable thanks to the team at Chantilly Heights. I believe strongly that contractual relationships should be rooted in fairness and satisfaction, and Brian's team has more than upheld their end over the last three years I've been involved with them. During my mom's time there, she transitioned from the higher-functioning to the lower-functioning neighborhood, giving me a full view of the community's care across different needs and stages. Based on this experience, I've confidently recommended Chantilly Heights to several friends - and two have since moved their own parents in. This is hard work, and not everyone is cut out for it - but the staff here perform beautifully at a very difficult and important job. I also appreciate Chris Mays for sharing his experience. Having supported another family member through a similar transition, I suspect his review reflects the challenges of the handoff from Arbor Terrace to Hamister. I've spent many hours with Brian and his staff and have always found them to be responsive - and importantly, proactive. They don't just react to issues; they work with me to stay ahead of them. In closing: If you're considering Chantilly Heights, don't base your decision solely on Yelp reviews (including mine!). Visit. Talk to the staff. Ask for family referrals - I know many caregivers like myself would be happy to share our experiences.

After she died (2 weeks ago) they were very absolutely wonderful helping me wrap things up. Thank you to all of them.

I'd attended a sales and marketing presentation on April 19th and won a $50 voucher for a meal at their Great Falls Restaurant for residents. Today a senior friend and I went there for lunch. For $50 we got a 1/4 ounce spinach "salad" and a main course cup of salty, watery broth of a substance containing some mushed vegetables and an unrecognizable grey substance advertised as "creamy shrimp, seafood and vegetable stew." There were no shrimp or recognizable seafood and the entire cup of broth tasted like salt, lots and lots of salt. This was the most miserable and unhealthy meal either my friend or I have experienced in our long lives.
