Vinson Hall Retirement Community offers several care levels in one place, and it sits at 6251 Old Dominion Dr in McLean, VA. Residents can live in studio, one, or two bedroom apartments, each set up for comfort with maintenance-free living. There's a history rooted in service, since the Navy Officers' Wives' Club started the community; over the years, it's welcomed military officers, government employees, their families, and now folks from broader backgrounds, so there's a strong sense of community and accomplishment among residents.
People find a full range of health services under the Life Plan Community model, with choices for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, all together. Residents in independent living have their own apartments in Vinson Hall and the Independent Living Building, while assisted living and skilled nursing take place in the Arleigh Burke Pavilion, and The Sylvestery offers memory support suites. There are 234 independent living apartments, 21 assisted living apartments, 49 skilled nursing beds, and 36 memory support suites.
The place supports many hobbies and interests, with a hobby shop for hands-on work, an art studio for painting or crafts, and an on-site chapel for reflection or services. There's a wellness center where a nurse's always present day or night, a fitness center with a personal trainer, and an indoor swimming pool with a spa, so staying active is easy. The community also has a reputation for care that tries to respect everyone's needs and preferences, with home care services available, respite care for those who need a short stay after illness, and rehabilitation right on campus for those recovering from surgery or injuries. People who live here find a welcoming atmosphere, with services that feel personal, and there's help for everything from daily routines to advanced health needs as they arrive.
Vinson Hall's website, www.vinsonhall.org, has more details for those who want to know further. The main thing to remember is this: Vinson Hall gives people a place to age with support, activities, and the feeling of being part of a caring, respectful community that's got a rich tradition.
