7440 Spring Village Dr, Springfield, VA 22150, United States
Went here for an interview and the interview was SUPPOSE to be at 10:45 but instead I was left waiting on Pearl Karikari for 20-30 minutes just for her to turn around and not offer me the position. I guess because I wasn’t one of her kind or because I was pregnant either way she shouldn’t have had me waiting 20-30 minutes.

I have lived at Greenspring for three years and everyday I'm thankful that I made this decision. I have a beautiful apartment, lots of new friends, 200 different clubs and groups to choose from for recreational and learning outlets, and good food I don't have to make! How can this be bad!
We have lived at Greenspring for eight years and love it more every day. In addition to a lovely apartment and caring staff, we can sense the community spirit that residents and staff share.
Handicapped parking has a 4 hour limit. People with mobility issues who don't have anyone available to drop them off and re-park their vehicle are expected to walk much further than they're able to. Use handicapped parking for its intended use instead of trying to trick people into being towed or incurring parking tickets. This is ableist in a community of differently abled people, incredibly predatory behavior on Management's part.
My parents moved to Greenspring in 2018, and I'm grateful they did. I felt Greenspring did everything possible to keep residents safe during the coronavirus pandemic, and have done an amazing job vaccinating residents and staff. The staff are unfailingly kind. Their apartment is very nice, and they were able to keep their two cats. So far the only gap I've seen is that they don't really have services for middle stage dementia. My mother is too far gone for their excellent day program, which is geared towards early memory loss. It won't work for us, because residents can leave the activity whenever they want to, and the ratio of staff to residents is too low. On the other hand, she's not yet in bad enough shape to require a transition to Memory Care. The ideal solution would be some kind of adult day care service where they would keep Mom safe for part of the day so that Dad could have a break, so that she could remain in her home a little while longer. We would happily pay extra for that. But this is a temporary problem - as Mom declines, I'm sure Memory Care is around the corner, and I'm confident the care there will be very good. We did try Home Service visits, but they kept sending different people, which was stressful for both my parents. Another challenge is the lack of two-bedroom Assisted Living apartments. If they had those, my parents would have already moved to AL. An under-utilized but fantastic resource are their social workers. I'm in frequent contact with their social worker, who has helped us navigate many challenges with my mother's care, and understand how Greenspring services work. I would highly recommend Greenspring, but when visiting, make sure to think into the future and visit the assisted living facilities. It's easy to get caught up by the lovely Independent Living apartments & amenities, but that stage doesn't last forever.
