Sunrise of Arlington

Sunrise of Arlington is a licensed assisted living community with 47 beds located on the west side of North Glebe Road, north of 20th Street North in Arlington, Virginia, close to Washington, D.C. and local attractions, and the place feels a bit like an old bed and breakfast with its small size, cozy atmosphere, and common rooms where people gather for meals or reading near a fireplace or TV. The building has elevators, handicap accessibility, and is pet friendly, with the staff keeping things safe, clean, and welcoming through regular housekeeping, laundry service, and monthly wellness checks by a nurse, while trained team members stay on site around the clock for extra help as needed. Residents pick from a range of floor plans, including studio apartments, two-room suites, and companion suites, each with bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, and a kitchen or kitchenette, with memory care apartments featuring warm, personal touches and soft lighting. Public spaces support daily activities, like the bistro with round tables and big windows, a library corner, a residents' lounge, and a grand staircase in the memory care neighborhood. The onsite team has an activities director who sets up weekly outings to restaurants, plays, museums, movies, and sightseeing, so there's always something going on, and residents get help with medication, meals, and daily routines if they need it, and there's Wi-Fi and computer access throughout. Care options include independent living for healthy seniors wanting a social place without much hassle, assisted living for folks needing help with day-to-day things, skilled nursing for higher care needs, memory care for people living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia through programs like the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, plus respite stays and hospice coordination for short-term or end-of-life care. The place promotes person-centered care and emergency preparedness, meeting Virginia's regulations and care standards, and you'll find resources onsite or online for veterans, people with disabilities, caregivers, and seniors-all organized through programs like VirginiaNavigator, SeniorNavigator, and others, making sure residents and their families can find what they need about health, legal planning, transportation, benefits, and day-to-day living. Ms. Rachel Jensen manages the community as Executive Director, making sure things run smoothly, and the community stays connected through social media and planning resources, such as hosting public comment sessions and taking part in special use studies about the area's future. The Sunrise Signature Experience theme comes from the fact that this building was the very first Sunrise mansion built, and today, folks can choose flexible solutions as needs change, whether that means staying independent, getting some extra help, or joining a secure environment designed for memory care, and there's always someone nearby to help if something comes up.
