House of Horror - Avoid!

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!

The Jefferson was nice - I liked it a lot. It was just a little overwhelming for my loved one. She needed a facility that was less sprawling. If you like a large community feel, this would be a good place.

My review of The Jefferson (Sunrise Senior Living)

I was able to tour this community, I almost moved there because i really liked the environment. However, two things that made me change my mind was one you didn't rent the apartment you had to buy it. You did not have to buy it full price, but I was worried if I passed on if my children could afford it. Also I checked up on this community over a period of time for about 2 years, and it appeared to me that you had to be of certain age to live there. It did not seem as active and engaging.

Everyone was Kind, Caring, and Receptive. You Get the Felling Your Being Taken Care Of

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.

Not a good experience at all

The condo is listed at one price and when you read the fine print you learn that the Jefferson is charging a mandatory [fee removed] monthly second HOA fee in addition to regular mortgage, taxes, and first HOA fee. If you total [fee removed] per month times a 30 year mortgage the total is [fee removed] so why isn’t the condo being listed at this amount to not waste people’s time? It is beyond me why there is a mandatory [fee removed] if a person is 55+ who does not need meals and extra services. This fee should not be mandatory and if it is, the list price needs to be corrected online to reveal that the total costs is over [fee removed] for these condos. Be honest.

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.

Very thorough tour by [name removed]. My husband and I visited several units and Julie armed us with the details we need to make a decision. We're talking it over as a family, but would like to see other properties. This particular one is attractive because of the location to shops and dining, but the amenities, including the vast activities make this seem ideal for my mom.

Mom's happy

My mother has lived at The Jefferson for a number of years. It's always a big transition at first and she tried to bolt for the first six months. However, she now says that it's perfect for her and she appreciates all the services/amenities/staff. I commend the management for being creative, responsive and in-tune with geriatric study. The activities are way over the top -- can't even list everything from exercise to outings to games/lectures...so much. Staffing is always an issue in this type of living, but there is a lot of stability and many staff members go totally out of their way to know residents and offer a smile...many many. She was very worried about the cost -- seemed like she was paying a lot per month compared with her expenses in her own home. However, when you look at all you get for the cost, even she agrees that it is a great value for her.

Small apartments. Building doesn't appear clean. Needs painting of doors and hallways and straightening of the activities room in SNF - the book/game shelves were a mess. SNF small but expensive.

Nobody from The Jeffterson contacted me after the appointment was set up. When I arrived with a friend, no one knew we had an appointment. The person in charge of tours was not in that day. A helpful woman stepped in and took us around. The apartments were a good size, but none that we saw had a walk-in/roll-in shower. The facility appeared to have the basics, including access to a good PT staff. We didn’t see any residents, so I can’t assess whether it was a happy place, or how the staff interacted with residents. My overall impression was that the place was dreary, and more expensive than a nearby assisted living facility.

Pleasant surroundings, good food, nice staff,great location, but very expensive.

My husband was at Jefferson for rehab. I checked into purchasing a condo at that time, but was put off by the monthly required charge -- very high, and together with the condo purchase price, monthly fee, real estate taxes (low, but an additional charge) it added up to a considerable amount And, on checking further, I learned that if you die or leave the community, the monthly fee continues to be charged even if no-one is living in the condo while it is on the market. Definitely a big obstacle for me. I don't know what the charges are for assisted living or Alzheimers care. The rehab physical therapy staff were excellent, the caregivers were very nice, but the nursing and medical care left a lot to be desired.

Not helpful

My mother was here for rehabilitation. They discharged here because they said she couldn't do the physical therapy because of a shattered leg and not being able to put weight on it. After discharged and upon being admitted to another care center we found out it was in her orders from her doctor to do weight therapy. The care was not consistent. The response time could have been faster, it would take 10-15 minutes sometimes. Also after discharge they were supposed to get her a medical bed and it took two months. I don't think I should have to pay for the charges we accrued here because they didn't do anything to help her.

Review of The Jefferson - Arlington, VA

The is a very nice setting furniture in the common areas is nice. Very strong smell of chlorine when you walk into the lobby but since the pool water us kept at 92 degrees all that chlorine is necessary. Dining room smelled greasy. But buying into this having to pay the monthly fee and an HOA fee doesnt seem like a good idea. For looks and amenities I would rate it 4 stars but not for the financial end.

A very good choice of a senior living facility for those who like living in an urban location close to superb public transportation and other urban amenities.

Based on a relatively brief initial experience with The Jefferson, I regard it as a very good urban-located senior living facility. My initial overall rating is good but I see the potential over time for a rating somewhat higher than that. The calibre of the personnel is outstanding, the location near urban amenities and public transportation is superb, and the activities appear to be varied and interesting. The food selections are somewhat limited but there is variety on the menu and the quality of the food is generally very good. The onsite recreational facilities are decent but limited to a small swimming pool, a whirlpool bath, and a small exercise room. Overall, so far The Jefferson is a senior living choice with which I am quite happy.

positive experience overall

One areas for improvement would be that they could be a little better staffed. I have had to hire outside help to assist and stay with mom at certain times because they were not adequately staffed to fulfill the need themselves. Other than that it has been a positive experience. The care givers are very friendly and are genuinely concerned about the welfare of my dad, as well as all the residents. The food is very good, and they do have a lot of good activities.
