Auburn Hill Senior Living - Assisted Living & Memory Care sits right by Swift Creek Reservoir in Midlothian, VA, and the views are nice from many of the windows, which makes living here feel a bit more peaceful, especially for folks who like to sit and look out at the water. This place offers both assisted living and memory care, with staff around all day and night to help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication management, and other things seniors might need so they can stay as independent as possible for as long as possible. The building itself is pretty easy to get around, which helps keep everyone safe, and there are features like emergency response systems in apartments, wheelchair access throughout, and well-lit hallways, so those things can make a difference if someone's having trouble getting around or remembering where they are.
Auburn Hill has a strong focus on memory care, too, with a safe setting designed for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's, including special programming, trained staff, and secure areas to prevent wandering. People can move in and receive more help as their needs change, and care plans get updated so both memory care and assisted living are flexible. Staff are described as caring and attentive, and regular outings-to restaurants, concerts, stores, and sporting events-are organized to keep people active and social, because that really can help someone adjust when moving into a new place.
Amenities here include a Bistro for fresh coffee, a fitness room for exercise, a library for reading, a theater for movies, and a Beauty and Barber Shop for haircuts and grooming. Residents also gather for meals, music, crafts, exercise classes, and different religious services, plus there's a community focus on people making friends and spending time together. They welcome small pets, the entire building has Wi-Fi, and there are weekly activity programs. Housekeeping and laundry are handled by staff, and meals are served with different options available, which many families appreciate since it takes stress off everyone.
Auburn Hill has received awards like OurHealth's Gold award for "Best Memory Care" and Honorable Mention for "Best Assisted Living," so some local groups have noticed the care they give. Tours show new families how daily life goes here, including the views, the activities, and the dining, which seems to help with the transition for new residents. The whole approach is shaped by focus on family, respect, and letting seniors keep as much freedom and comfort as possible, with around-the-clock support and encouragement making it easier for people to settle in, make friends, and really feel at home.
