Coppermine II sits in the McNair Farms area south of Herndon, VA, and is a place that gives older adults a mix of care and independence depending on what they need, so you've got independent living apartments for folks who want to stay active and do things on their own, but you've also got assistance with things like meals, medicine, and day-to-day activities for people who need a hand. There's Alzheimer's care, assisted living services, and respite care if a caregiver needs a break for a little while. The building takes safety seriously, putting emergency call buttons in every unit and having fully-trained, friendly staff nearby, and a social services coordinator helps residents get supportive services and resources right on site. The apartments come in one- and two-bedroom sizes, with features like low countertops, roll-in showers, wide doorways, and ADA appliances, and every unit has central air and heating, wall-to-wall carpet, its own dishwasher, and many of them have a balcony or sunroom for a bit of fresh air. The whole place is geared for budget-conscious older adults and has 66 units set up for those aged 55 and up.
Things run smoothly because there's 24-hour maintenance, security, and building upkeep, and laundry on every floor, which is nice for not having to haul things too far. You've got lots of ways to keep active or make friends-there's a wellness center for exercise, a hobby room, computer center, TV room, sunny community rooms, library, and plenty of scheduled activities, social events, and outings, all meant to keep people from feeling lonely or bored. There's even an in-house beauty salon and barbershop for haircuts and a simple clean-up. The transportation service will take you to doctor's appointments, shopping, errands, or to see family, and the staff make sure everyone can get help as needed, whether for daily care, arranging extra services, or just finding someone to talk with in a common room. Coppermine II is a private, low-income community where seniors can feel supported, safe, and have a place to call home with just as much help or privacy as they want.
