Tysons Woods is a small senior living community where eight residents live together in a cozy home setting, and pets, including dogs, are allowed, which can make things more comforting. The homes have studio apartments, single rooms, one-bedroom units, and private suites with their own bathrooms, where the bathrooms have both tubs and wheelchair accessible showers, which makes bathing safer for everyone. You'll notice the place has wall-to-wall carpeting, is fully furnished, and each suite has an emergency alert system and a state-of-the-art fire safety system to help keep everyone safe. The whole facility is wheelchair accessible, there are walking paths, beautiful gardens with decks and fenced outdoor areas, and gardens for those who like to be outside.
Residents get care that fits their needs, with a very strong caregiver to resident ratio of 2:7, which means staff can pay better attention to each person. Tysons Woods offers assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, independent living, skilled nursing, and even respite or short-term stays that can help give regular caregivers a break. The professional staff, who speak English, provide 24-hour supervision, daily help with things like bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication management, along with diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and high-acuity support. There's always help with daily routines, and the staff works closely with local hospitals and care providers, such as Inova Fairfax Medical Campus and Virginia Heart, and there's access to on-call nurses 24/7, house-call doctors, and coordination for therapies and hospice if needed. Residents have custom routines and activities to support mental and physical health, plus on-site and off-site devotional activities for those who value their faith.
There's a community dining room where scheduled meals are served and the cook can handle vegetarian, kosher, diabetic, allergy-sensitive, and other dietary needs. Residents have access to cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, and telephone service in their rooms, so they can stay connected or entertained. Residents also get housekeeping, laundry services, and move-in coordination to help with a smoother transition, while beautician services are provided on-site. The property also provides transportation for appointments, errands, and community outings, which is useful for people who want to go out to see their doctor or participate in other activities, and some of the rides might come at an extra cost, but there is complimentary transportation too, depending on the circumstances.
Tysons Woods schedules daily activities, movie nights, and special events to help residents be social and enjoy their time. Activities are planned both by the community and with staff, and there are regular off-site outings as well. There's resident parking if someone still drives or has visitors. The monthly rate is a flat $5,500, no matter what room type is chosen, and the community is licensed by the state, so standards are in place for safety and care. The staff encourages independence where possible, pays attention to each resident's preferences, and welcomes family involvement. Tysons Woods is set up for aging in place, so as needs change, residents can stay in a familiar setting and still get the help they need.
