Provided by YP.comI just love everything about The Hidenwood. It is a great place to live. There are washing machines and dryers you can use. Three wonderful meals and the peach cobbler and bread pudding are so good. When you come to The Hidenwood the staff makes you feel like you are no longer a stranger, you are family.

Provided by YP.comI am very happy living at The Hidenwood. The amount of storage space in my apartment is wonderful. My kitchen, the whole apartment is very nice. I did a lot of artwork before I moved here. When we have painting classes, I am always there. It is a treat for me.

Provided by YP.comMy father has been at The Hidenwood for more than a month. Coming from a previous asst living facility he is adjusting pretty well to the new staff and surroundings. He loves the food. They don't let the residents sit in their room, they try to keep them engaged with different activities (painting, bingo). I am pleased.

Provided by YP.comMy sister moved in on 2/20 and loves The Hidenwood. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Zsavonne is amazing and walked her and us through all the steps and went above and beyond to make this a smooth transition. Highly recommend!!

Provided by YP.comMy wife Lynne, was in a nursing home near Nashville for a year and a half suffering from a tumor at the brain stem. I was in an assisted living facility. I was able to visit her daily.
My Son and Daughter and I were with her when she passed.
I decided to return to my roots in Virginia. My Son and I flew in to check out facilities. We decided on one, but wanted to check out The Hidenwood where my mother stayed in 2007.
I immediately fell in love with it and disregarded the previous selection. The Staff and the Residents won me over. The layout is absolutely beautiful. The apartment I selected is more than adequate. There is a theater (big screen), activities room. The dining room is great. A Chef who is world class. Selections planned ahead on a monthly basis to satisfy any palate. Many substitutions available for lighter fare. Occasionally he will set up in the dining room for special meals you don’t want to turn down.
I play the piano, so I now play twice a week for the Residents. One day a week in Memory Care and one day a week for Assisted Residents. A new baby grand piano is on order for January, to update facility. An exercise room is available with loads of equipment (treadmill and assorted bikercise units). A full library is available. The nursing staff is great and two doctors are here once a week.
I have a large family that lives here locally, so plenty of visitors. And I have an older sister (don’t tell her I said older) who is looking to move in here soon. The other Residents are becoming To Be like family.
This is Home.

Provided by YP.comI am always very proud to show off The Hidenwood. The landscaping around The Hidenwood is beautiful. The flowers beds and gazebos make the outdoors very inviting. I enjoy playing Jeopardy and going to the coffee socials. It gives me a chance to interact with the other residents.

Provided by YP.comI just love living at The Hidenwood. I would never pick one person. The staff all of them are friendly. When I say friendly, I mean they all know my name. The Hidenwood is very clean. The food is delicious and we have a lot of activities.

Provided by YP.comAll of the staff have always been very respectful of me. The Hidenwood takes good care of all of my needs. Giving me shelter, protection and food. My daughter visits often and joined in on a RUI University Class and made me go as well. It was interesting, she and I are scheduled to attend another class.

Provided by YP.comThere are a lot of different reasons why The Hidenwood is special to me. I don't have to leave the building to enjoy great music programs. Chef Lee always has a variety of food to pick from for every meal. When I cannot decide they give me a sampling of both.

Provided by YP.comWhat drew me to the Hidenwood was the friendliness of the staff. Everyone is willing to support you with whatever you need!
Chef Lee, the new executive chef, is receiving rave reviews on taste, quality and presentation of the food.
The wide range of engaging activities, especially related to memory care, is quite impressive.
A beautiful community with large rooms, generous closet space and top-notch amenities, including a movie theater, general store and salon.
As the new Director of Community Relations, I can't wait to share more about this wonderful "hidden gem" in Newport News.
