The Jefferson

We have been condo owners in Independent Living at The Jefferson for over 2 years and are very happy here. The location is wonderful — a block from the Metro and walking distance from many good restaurants, the drugstore, grocery stores and more. The staff are warm and helpful, and there is an abundance of events and activities generated by residents as well as offered by The Jefferson. It’s a great choice for an active life in a supportive environment.

If you enjoy the convenience of urban living The Jefferson is the place for you. After reviewing and visiting many independent living communities, The Jefferson was a clear winner for me. Everything one needs is withing walking distance unlike some of the other communities in the suburbs. What you will also find here is a very interesting, vibrant and caring group of residents that embraces newcomers. You'll feel at home in no time.

I can't say enough good things about The Jefferson and my experience with them, their facility and their staff. Last month, my aunt was admitted as a patient in their skilled nursing wing and it presented an opportunity that I'm so very glad we did not miss. My mother, who was also in the hospital, had not seen her sister in over 8 years. With the help of everyone, in particular Andrew and Rose, my mother was released to their skilled nursing facility and reunited with her sister. They coordinated the long ambulance ride from my mother's home and settled her comfortably. With their help, my aunt and mother were reunited before my aunt passed away. They had that moment because the staff cared enough to make everything work. While she was a resident at The Jefferson, they were very attentive to the unique needs and challenges of the end stages of her disease and did everything to make her at ease and cared for. They did that even when she didn't make it easy. Her care was exceptional and the best of her several skilled nursing admissions. I would like to point out that my mother continues to reside at The Jefferson and they have been so vital in helping her grieve her sister's death. She continues to receive exemplary care and rehabilitation so that she progresses, but the staff has also been very attentive to her grief process. She has had to plan her sister's funeral from skilled nursing and has been supported as she completes this final journey with her sister. I am proud of the care that my aunt received and found the facilities and services to be of the best quality. The rooms are clean and the staff upbeat. There are plenty of social activities and they kept my aunt engaged even when she was unable to move around due to her illness. In past skilled nursing stays she had difficulty remaining upbeat and I was grateful for the steps taken to keep her involved and happy. Her last few weeks were good ones because of The Jefferson.
