  I'm sure there are many fine large-scale memory care facilities, but I'm glad we settled on a small-home model, and specifically one of the three Larmax homes in McLean. Each of the three McLean homes houses eight residents, with each resident occupying his or her own bedroom and en suite bathroom. The Larmax home my loved one is in is bright, cheerful, thoughtfully designed and comfortably furnished, and is surrounded by landscaped gardens and lush greenery. But what makes Larmax really special is the warm and caring staff. Truly they are the unsung heroes, providing personalized care and lots of one-on-one time with the residents. From the equine therapy program -- where they bring the horses to the residents -- to the art, music and recreational specialists that engage the residents several times a week, Larmax really is a special place, one that I can recommend for families looking for kind and compassionate care for their loved ones.

  I don't usually write reviews, but I know how important - and difficult - the decision is to find the best place for your aging parent. When we were looking, all we knew of was the large private corporate facilities and we definitely did not want one of those. My mother had been in one before and it was awful. Residents with dementia were simply parked in the hallway, others were wandering into my mother's room, bothering her or taking her things. Staff was overworked and turnover was high. My mother has been at one of the Larmax homes in Virginia for over six years now, and I visit every week so I've seen firsthand the care that she gets there. We were so relieved to find a place like Larmax with its small group setting and personalized care. The houses are beautifully decorated with special touches to make it feel like a home - not a facility. Residents have full access to all of the common rooms, even the kitchen. My mother's home is one of three in a row, which is great for sharing resources and activities among the homes, especially for those more social residents. Meals are prepared by professional chefs who are focused on nutrition and great taste. There are no colorless, overcooked meals there! In addition, her home has fun engagement programs with a dedicated art room and piano room; they do gardening, cooking, and club activities; they offer cultural and restaurant outings; and they even bring pets and therapeutic horses to the home. Most importantly, the staff is wonderful and caring, always responsive and available to answer questions, while staying on top of residents' needs with individualized attention. No place is perfect, but Larmax comes close and is always striving to be better. Our family has the peace of mind knowing that my mother is safe and well taken care of, and that Larmax is her forever home.
