The Jefferson

The Jefferson may not be for everybody but it's perfect for me. Food and activities are wonderful. Location near my daughter and great medical facilities. Plus it's a condo I own (renting was not appealing) so I was able to remodel to my wishes! New floors, bathroom, paint , plus I added a fireplace! A dream! The people are friendly and staff so helpful!

I'd say it's excellent. They do it all very well. Mom loves it. The food is consistently good. Security is very careful without being intrusive. The facilities and common areas are lovely and well taken care of. The staff is just fantastic -- they're efficient and friendly, and take the time to get to know the residents and even frequent guests like me. I would definitely recommend [name removed] to others, and might move there myself someday.

Very attentive. Organized. Helpful. Overall a good experience. Chose it for its location and services. Proximity to downtown DC culture. Wonderful facility. Great location. Highly Recommend.

The Jefferson is a great independent living facility located steps from the Metro and restaurants. There are many resident organized activities and outings. The staff is very good. It is a small village.

My grandmother lived at The Jefferson for a few years, first in independent living and then in assisted living. It was wonderful, full of kind people, delicious food (seriously), tons of activities, shuttles etc. They do a Sunday brunch and we would gather often. We all loved it. She passed in 2017. My mom is there now. The amazing part is that several of the employees from 2015-17 are still there. That in itself is a huge testament to the atmosphere and care that is presented. Everyone seems to be working towards a common goal of kindness and comfort. It is truly a gem.

The staff are always ready to help in any way that they can. Housekeeping comes once a week to do light housekeeping. My housekeeper is always kind enough to change my sheets and remake my bed. The staff always answers questions and concerns that the family has. Move in went smoothly. They reserved one of the elevators to use to help us move in. The food here is excellent. Large variety of choices. A daily menu is provided on Saturdays to help you plan for the week. I have been very satisfied with moving here. A really good choice for my family and myself. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys independent living.

I’ve been here almost 2 years. The Jefferson offers such a wide variety of opportunities for individual enhancement. The food is extraordinary, the staff is caring and attentive and makes the adjustment coming from your own home possible.

I chose The Jefferson Independent Living to be near family in northern Va. It was the perfect choice. The environment here is stimulating physically, intellectually and culturally. Surrounded by other residents who are accomplished and exciting is the best way to live. The staff is wonderful and caring. Feel alive...laugh...think...be active...come to The Jefferson!

I love living here at The Jefferson the staff are very helpful. Top notch customer service. The dining experience has been amazing!!! There is always something to do to keep me busy. I have met a lot of friends.

My husband and I love the location. We walk everywhere. Other senior places are out in the country. This is fun city living. But the really special thing here is the assortment of interesting and nice people. It's a really special community. We've made many friends. And because it's independent condo living we can be as social or private as we like. I run a Trivia group. Hubby runs the Politics and Issues group. There are more activities than hours in the day. We have been so pleasantly surprised at what senior living can be. The food is good, the staff helpful. I'm really glad we moved here. And we did it younger than older when we could enjoy the vibrant urban neighborhood.

Jefferson is an excellent facility in a very convenient location. Restaurants, shopping, healthcare all within walking distance. Many activities on-site as ell as frequent trips to museums, concerts, etc. Costs have been increasing, but I think that is the case with most full service facilities.

My loved one was previously a resident at The Jefferson. Overall, the experience was not very good. We even considered moving my loved one to a different facility.

What I like the most about The Jefferson is the accessible activities and exercise, location with commerce, restaurants and Metro station, and interesting and accomplished residents. Big factor is being close to 2 daughters who live in different parts of Arlington.

I think the Jefferson is a very nice, very classy place. It was voted Best Over 55 Facility by Arlington Magazine. And my loved one is very happy there. The staff are great, and the meals are excellent.

This place is a total disaster. They describe themselves as a "skilled nursing" facility. When my mother checked in we discovered they only had a nursing aide on duty who wasn't even authorized to give prescribed meds. Food was ghastly, no bathroom nearby and staff yelling at patients. Don't believe ANY of the glowing reviews of this dump. I wouldn't put my dog here let alone a person I love!

It is a very clean community. The physical therapy department is very enthusiastic. The nursing aides are wonderful and caring. There is a LPN that distributes the medication to the residents, and keeps good records. The administration was good and nice. They are understanding and accessible. There was always food there. They gave good sized portions to the residents and my loved one. The activities director is lovely and makes sure she visits each resident, each day. She is like a cruise director, on a cruise ship. It is 20 story building with independent living, one wing is memory care, and rehab in another wing. It feels like the staff have found their calling in taking care of the residents. There are around 20 rooms for memory care.

The staff is great and they are very friendly. Food and activities are great. I have not heard or seen anything that is bad. With the single exception of the indoor parking. They did ok with response to the Covid-19 pandemic. They haven't given us a price break because we aren't able to work during the pandemic.
