Chevy Chase House

Chevy Chase House sits in a quiet area with lovely surroundings, and the building itself shows its history with traditional architecture from the 1910s, which means you get some old-world charm but also the modern comforts folks need, like a new gym and plenty of space. The place is part of Meridian Senior Living, a group known for supporting staff growth and always working to engage residents with different programs and activities, so there's always something going on, whether it's a trip out to DC attractions, daily happy hours at the Bistro, or fitness classes with the exercise physiologist. Staff at Chevy Chase House offer 24/7 nursing help, on-call physicians, and friendly care for assisted and independent living, plus short-term stays and rehab. Residents can use physical, occupational, and speech therapy right on site through FOX Rehabilitation. The food's a highlight, with a chef making three fresh meals every day, always aiming to fit your needs, and you can enjoy anytime dining, plus they'll work around diets and taste. There's medication management, bathing and dressing help, and regular housekeeping and laundry, so you don't have to worry about chores piling up. Suites here range from studios to one- and two-bedroom homes, some with walk-in closets and full kitchens with stainless-steel appliances, so you can cook when you want, but there's no pressure to do that if you'd rather join the group meals. There's a beauty salon, barber shop, library, chapel, activity rooms, and a courtyard outside if you want some fresh air, not to forget the baby grand and upright pianos for music lovers. Safety's taken seriously with an emergency response system and smoke-free spaces, and every apartment has its own climate control and wireless internet. People often say the place feels warm and welcoming, and visitors and residents both notice that the staff are caring and always around to lend a hand, whether it's help with medications, getting to appointments in the provided transportation, or just making sure there's a full calendar of social, wellness, and educational programs. Chevy Chase House has even won the Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star awards, which comes from folks appreciating the level of service and care you find there, so it's a spot that aims to give seniors the support and community they need while helping them stay as independent and active as possible.
