Chesterbrook Residences sits at 2030 Westmoreland Street in Falls Church, Virginia, where cheerful staff and helpful nurses work together and make sure folks feel comfortable, welcome, and cared for every hour of the day, with no big buy-ins or complicated contracts, just monthly rates, which many folks appreciate because the place was founded in 2007 by three faith-based congregations as a not-for-profit, nondenominational community that really does try to keep things affordable without cutting corners on the services that matter. The community lets seniors from all backgrounds gather together, offering assisted living and memory care options for people 62 and older, and residents can expect personalized care plans with 24/7 licensed nurse coverage, medication help, help with washing and meals, and safety features like emergency call systems and controlled entry, so families find peace of mind knowing loved ones have support around the clock.
Chesterbrook Residences stands next to a wooded public park, giving residents scenic walking paths, a garden to tend, a quiet neighborhood, and places to sit outside on a front porch or under a gazebo in the courtyard, which some enjoy with their pets, since the place is pet-friendly with some rules. Apartments are cozy and home-like, with private rooms available, and the building uses elevators and secure entries for easy and safe access, so everyone-even those who need wheelchairs-can get around. Meals come three times a day in a gracious dining room, the food's well-reviewed and chef-prepared, and there's a full-service beauty salon and on-site gift shop, along with dentist and podiatrist services right there, so you don't have to go far for care.
The activities calendar is full, with things like arts and crafts, music, outings, walking groups, fitness classes, and onsite and offsite events, and there are community-run programs, so the residents can help pick and run what they want to do, which gives things a friendly feel. Folks can also take part in religious services, holiday celebrations, festivals, and educational events, and if anyone needs extra help, there's diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory services, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy available, plus memory care for those who need it. Transportation's provided for trips out, and there's parking for folks who still drive, weekly housekeeping, and regular maintenance, so life's a bit easier and people have more time for the things they enjoy.
Chesterbrook Residences holds open interviews to find good team members, aiming for a kind, joyful staff who'll treat everyone with respect and dignity, whether it's a nurse, someone from the Director of Community Relations & Marketing, or the Pastor at Chesterbrook UMC who's part of the community. Folks say the atmosphere's warm and friendly, with a focus on dignity, independence, and keeping everyone involved-residents, staff, families, and friends-making sure life stays active and interesting for each resident, whether they've lived there for years or just moved in.
