The Jefferson

The staff are very friendly. There is an abundance of activities offered, when it's not during COVID. The food is reasonably good. The management are receptive to comments from residents. The communication has been good. They post a bulletin to the apartment doors with updates. If you are looking for a community that offers three meals a day , reasonably priced, and no lease, this would be the place to consider.

I am surprised at the many positive reviews. When we went there we were confronted by the following: the carpeting throughout the reception area and dining area was FILTHY, there is no other word for it, except maybe disgusting. I went to the rest room off the main area and it reminded me of a gas station on a secondary road. We were shown an apartment where a gentleman was living and I felt sorry for him, the place was not where I would be comfortable living. We were treated to a lunch and the person hosting made a point of being able to order whatever she wanted, extra entrees, desserts and whatever. Is this how they keep the residents placated? By feeding them extra surgery desserts? Is was frightening. We would never consider this facility.

If you are looking to apply for the Aid and Attendance Benefit through the VA, and live here. Run. Honestly, I'm very disappointed in how things have gone with the Jefferson. We chose the Jefferson for many reasons, one being the community and that she would be able to age in place here thus making that cost minimal over time, now having literally no other choice but to move not even a year after moving in means that was an exorbitent amount per month (she lived here from December to the end of March). We were told by [name removed] that we wouldn't have any issues with the VA getting approved for this specific location for Aid and Attendance because many have gotten it approved. However, when we met with the VA their response was polar opposite of this. That the facility did not meet the requirements and while she would get some funding, that none of the cost of the facility could qualify for being counted towards what she would get ultimately leaving her over $700 short a month for the facility. Added to the fact that this has caused immense amount of mental and emotional stress for both her and I and they are sending us a invoice for the total PLUS additional outstanding balances, which there should be none is frustrating.
