The Jefferson pays attention to safety and health, earning the WELL Health-Safety and WELL Equity ratings, and they go by all Virginia rules and background checks, so you know staff get checked before hiring. There's care for folks at many stages, with live-in support at residential care homes for people needing more help, and trained aides who offer non-medical home care and company for those who live independently. The staff helps folks with VA long-term care benefits, including Aid and Attendance, which can make it easier for veterans to stay as long as needed.
You can take a tour to see what a regular day is like or check out condo units, some of which residents update and decorate themselves, and some new or newly renovated listings.
