"I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Their memory care unit is not the best place around. They have a hard time convincing the memory care patients to quit packing their bags thinking they are going home. Some of the new residents all think they will be going home. and, this staff has a hard time convincing them that their relatives have dumped them there to be there the rest of their life. Not a particularly good place" - anonymous…

"Although we only recently made the move, so far Brightview Fair Oaks has been extremely positive experience. The staff is warm and welcoming, and they have been extremely helpful to me and my family. I live in a different state, and they made process of touring and moving in pretty manageable from a distance. Because they are so close to D.C., they have a good social activities calendar - things like a tour of the Library of Congress, etc. Of course that's not every day, but my mom usually has at least one activity each day that she's excited about, which takes a bit of pressure off of me.

"My father is a reminiscent resident on the 3rd floor at Sunrise McLean since June 2021 as part of their 6-week Road to Home Program to recover from surgery, He was weak & frail but, the staff brought him back to being healthy & vibrant again. His dementia was progressing and knowing that I could no longer give my father the kind of care he needed, I made the difficult decision to extend his stay. I could not be happier with that decision. The staff on the 3rd floor – from the management team to care managers, to PT, to the front desk, & finally, the facilities staff – are the best. I go nearly every day, & the care is consistently excellent. It takes a unique set of skills to give care to reminiscent residents; Sunrise McLean hit the jack pot with the staff on the 3rd floor; residents are treated as family, w/love & affection; the staff works as a team and in partnership to give the best care to their residents. Sunrise McLean, keep up the good work!" - Katherine…
