The Caring Stars of 2013 award is based on consumer ratings and reviews that were posted on Caring.com between December 15, 2011, and December 1, 2012. To qualify, the community had to receive: three or more reviews during this timeframe, at least one of which being a 5-star rating; an overall average rating (across all reviews on their listing) equaling greater than 4 stars; and no unresolved negative reviews.
I create a comment each time I like a post on a blog or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the discussion.
It’s a result of the fire displayed in the article I looked at. And after this post Caring Stars of 2013 – The Caregiver’s Voice. I was actually excited enough to drop a comment 😛 I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s okay.
Is it just me or does it look like like some of these remarks appear like left by brain dead people?
😛 And, if you are posting on other social sites, I’d like to follow you. Would you make a list every one of all your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
Brianne (blood cancer), I’m not sure what you mean by remarks left by brain dead people.
Also, if you take a moment to look along the right side of this page, you’ll find other social media sites we’re involved with.
Truthfully, I almost blacklisted your address because your comments strike me as borderline disingenuous.

Hi Don, Thanks for your feedback! When you have firsthand (consumer) experience with an assisted living or memory care community, please do share your feedback to help other seniors and families in their search: http://www.caring.com/review_submissions/new Please also share this review submission form with those you mentioned had direct experiences to share about senior living providers in their area. The Caring Stars program highlights the best communities based on rave reviews from consumers — and disqualifies those with unresolved negative reviews. Caring.com appreciates you (and those you know) taking a few minutes to post your reviews. Thanks!
Thank you, Don for posting your comment and Denise of Caring.com for sharing more information as to how others can post their feedback.

Very Interesting. The two listed in Woodbridge at known to me and the one I’m surprised has a good rating. I have heard some negative things about it. Looking at a place called Golden Years and More in Manassas Va if I ever need it. I have hard great things about this little known place.
