My parents current live at Fair oaks and for the last couple of months I have seen them flourish. The activities are always fun and right up my parents alley! The food by Chef [name removed] is delicious. [name removed] was extremely helpful with getting my parents settled in their new place. The other residents were very welcoming of my parents and helping them integrate them into the community. Sunrise has a program where they help my parents get adjusted for the first 14 days. The community is very clean and you always get a warm face greeting you. The care is top level and there are no words to describe how amazing [name removed] and [name removed] are.
Tall Oaks has been a good experience for us overall. Some staff is ok, some are fantastic. Overall we feel like our loved one is well cared for. We chose them because it seemed like the best fit.
Everybody is very helpful and attentive to my needs. The staff come and check making sure I am okay. I haven't participated in activities yet since I'm still getting myself acclimated to my new environment. So far i am very happy and satisfied with my new place.

The Washington, D.C. metropolitan area is well-known for its robust public transportation system, and within city limits, it’s possible to get by without driving. In some neighborhoods, you might be able to accomplish daily tasks without needing a vehicle at all. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority operates the Metro, which consists of a rail and subway system and a bus system, both of which offer transportation throughout the city and surrounding neighborhoods. The rail system runs from around 5 am to 11 pm, and the bus often continues later, with many routes in operation past midnight. Discounted fares are offered to seniors ages 65 and older. The D.C. area also has plenty of options for taxis and rideshare services.
