Review of First Colonial Inn
reviewed on: 10/01/2019 by D.B.After living for 33 years at home, I could not be any happier to have found a home at First Colonial Inn. I visited 7 communities that I’ve heard advertisements for, 2 of which friends lived at, and found that although First Colonial Inn is off the beaten path, it is the best location that’s quiet and peaceful. This is the happiest I have been since leaving home and I can go on all day talking about FCI. I’ve been here for a few months now and I honestly can’t find anything wrong. I enjoy seeing the ladies walk their dogs and can see associates coming into work and leaving for the day. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else; this place is my second family. The associates are all wonderful! All the dining staff are nice and friendly. [names removed] were wonderful during my move in process and made me feel like I was one of them. The aides here are wonderful, all of them are helpful and knowledgeable. I love waking up and having an aide come in to check on me with a smile. [Name removed] is a joy and it’s nice to not have to go out since I am unable to drive due to an injury. This place supplies all that you need. I cannot say enough about the Inn, there aren’t enough words in my vocabulary. The kindness and patience shown to those who can’t do for themselves is incredible and heartwarming.

Review of First Colonial Inn
reviewed on: 09/17/2019 by Lawrence S.The reality of learning that you will have to live the rest of your life in Assisted Living is not pleasant when you are a widowed, eightyish male, on your own, that needs help. Knowing all the Assisted Living facilities in your community because you were here, before they were built, doesn't help much in making a decision. Therefore, a list was made, and I used the internet to cross reference my goals. Top of the list was a two bedroom, living area as close to a 1,000 sq feet as possible, with as many windows as possible to let in light and fresh air. Then, comes a central location near your family, doctors, hospital and major shopping center. Then, it comes down to quality of staff, dining facilities, wellness facilities, and overall feeling of the community. This is a process of elimination, a lot of phone calls made and reading reviews; therefore, the need for this review. I found most all of these requirements at First Colonial Inn but knew few people at the facility. I had driven by the entrance hundreds of times in my life, and although it was tucked away behind pine trees and landscaping, it is very pleasant to the eye. It is an apartment type of complex with two courtyards separating the buildings with a portico entrance. I decided all the positives outweighed the social contacts, and found the interviewing process to be informative and quick. I've moved into a four room apartment (two bedrooms, living room, and dining room), kitchen, and 2 baths which accommodates me fine with room to spare for a full time nurse, if needed in future. Good mix of independent living/assisted living people, great staff, good food, with a wellness center and rehab therapy services to support the needs of their residents. Now I'm gaining weight (not good), rehab has cured my vertigo, and in-house physician, [name removed], is a joy to be around. Every facility has its strengths and weaknesses, but management seems to pitch in where needed and does a first-class job to meet needs of its family! All of this in four months. My family and friends that shop in Hilltop stop by to say hello. I enjoy the fresh air, watch the ducks in the morning and have become a happy camper!
Review of First Colonial Inn
reviewed on: 09/05/2019 by Colleen B.More than 20 years ago my husband and I chose First Colonial Inn as our retirement home. Our decision came after investigating numerous communities in VA and NC. First Colonial Inn is nestled in a park-like setting with easy access to medical and shopping opportunities. Now that my husband is deceased the Inn is even more important to me. Affording me security, transportation, and a kind and caring staff. The apartment rental policy assures me that if health issues dictate, I can easily relocate near my family.
Review of First Colonial Inn
reviewed on: 10/15/2020 by Mary Lynn BI moved my dad out of a retirement facility a half mile away into First Colonial Inn at age 93 and he loved it. He made some good friends there that were his last friends in his life as he died at 95. He really enjoyed living there and said the food was really good there. I highly recommend living there!
