Reviewers frequently praise the facility's attractive building, convenient location, and the friendly, professional demeanor of the sales and tour staff. However, a recurring criticism involves significant service declines since a change in ownership, specifically citing understaffing, poor communication, and inadequate food quality. Some families report difficulty reaching staff during evening hours and describe a lack of responsiveness to resident needs despite the high cost of care.

Thank you for your positive review, Ciren!
The staff at Cogir, Old Town Alexandria is the best! Especially our main contact there, Nancy Garcia. I was tasked with finding assisted living for my brother — but I’m located on the other side of the country. So my initial interviews had to be done by phone, rather than the convenience of being in-person. But Nancy’s expertise and genuine caring bridged that distance, no problem! Nancy was able to walk me through Cogir’s mission and operations, answered all my questions, provided recs and resources — from money to medical to moving — literally on the daily, as our family worked through the decision process. We selected Cogir because I felt my brother would be surrounded by PRO-ACTIVE ADVOCATES FOR HIS WELL-BEING, not just skilled employees. There’s a big difference between the two! And it was Nancy who led that message — through the phone line! She’s the real deal - and so is the team around her! They all engender trust, put their experience and knowledge to good work, and show up with a positive attitude. I don’t run into such a talented team very often like this group at Cogir Old Town — who truly care about their work and the people in their community — but it’s obvious and very much appreciated. Our family feels very fortunate to have found this place for my brother.
Thank you for your positive review, JP! We’re so glad to hear that Nancy and the team at Cogir Old Town Alexandria made the process feel supportive, informative, and reassuring for your family.
Customer service on 07/23 evening - was transferred to a nurse and no response. Called front desk back 4-5 times after and no answer. Unable to be put in contact with my unresponsive mother. At least should have a better system in place or offer an alternative if transfer does not go through - people pay money and situations can be intense due to the reasons loved ones are in there.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're very sorry to hear about the difficulty you had reaching your mother and understand how upsetting and stressful that situation must have been. Reliable communication is incredibly important, especially when families are trying to connect with their loved ones. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as your feedback helps us identify opportunities to improve our processes. We'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened and address your concerns directly. Please contact the Executive Director so we can best support your concerns.
