My husband and I moved from a house of 50 years in a beautiful rural area of NJ. While we had family near the Jefferson (J), we were nervous about moving to a condominium setting. Our fears were groundless. We loved it from day 1. The people here in independent living are interesting, warm and welcoming; the building is comfortable; the staff go out of their way to be helpful; and the J is pet-friendly. The J provides bus transport to museums, plays, and concerts, and the concierge is most helpful getting tickets when needed. There are many events, exercise classes, language groups, in-house concerts, art classes, interest groups, and more. It is hard to be bored. The area is also wonderful: close to the metro, close to beautiful parks, and Arlington is great about keeping this high-rise area green and beautiful. I have used the physical therapy here and it was more than satisfactory. What more could we ask for in an independent living setting?
September 2025
Have lived here for several years. The location is perfect. We walk everywhere. Young people and dogs are everywhere so we don’t feel cut off from real folks. Our independent living condo means the best of both worlds.Some services provided here, and no home maintenance to worry about. And the people who live here make up a truly wonderful community.
September 2025
I enjoy each day at The Jefferson. The activities ranging from physical, intellectual and cultural are great...stimulating. My fellow residents are quite a unique group....people of tremendous accomplishment with a great mix of brains and heart. Its urban location is so convenient and presents a wide choice of walkable activities. TJ is a great place!

A culture existed in which Peggy and I could put down roots and thrive. We enjoy living at The Jefferson, given our age and level of infirmity,
July 2025
My brother in law recently moved to Assisted Living and the team at the Jefferson was fabulous during the planning process and has been consistently attentive and responsive these past few months. We visit from out of state and love the location as well as the facility itself. It was the perfect choice.
June 2025
My experience at The Jefferson has been extraordinary: wonderful residents and staff, a lovely apartment, a multitude of activities, and when I travel to places other than on Jefferson bus trips, the Metro is one block away!

The Jefferson Ballston I’ve lived in the Jefferson Senior Living community for several years. One thing I like is that the 2-tower Jefferson, in addition to 200 Independent Living condos, also has an Assisted Living, a Skilled Nursing and a Reminiscence community so if I should ever need these facilities they are right here. This is especially important for couples: should one of them need care, the other is only an elevator ride away for visits. The Jefferson is truly a luxury facility, with beautiful common areas, an elegant dining room, a craft room, library, game rooms, a ladies Salon & barbershop, a gym, swimming pool and private parking spots. Residents say it’s like living on a cruise ship with included delicious, nourishing meals, numerous in house activities like games, films, art and crafting classes, lectures, evening concerts, wine and cheese receptions, a weekly conversational gathering for women and a complementary one for men, and much more. We also have free transportation trips to museums, plays, concerts, shopping, events, and to our nearby doctors and hospital. We have two nearby parks, numerous restaurants, shops, a pharmacy, a Target store, and the Ballston Metro gateway to all of Washington, all within short walks. Most important to me is how welcoming the Jefferson and its residents are. We love new residents and enjoy seeing them quickly make new friends and enjoy sharing stories and experiences with people just like them.
January 2025
We moved to The Jefferson six years ago from our home of 25 years in North Arlington and have never looked back. We enjoy the same neighborhood commercial and entertainment conveniences, the same medical and dental practitioners and facilities, etc., that we depend upon in the community and, in addition we have a reliable and dedicated staff that schedules a host of activities entertainment, transportation, security, high quality dining opportunities, and who took special care to see us through the Covid pandemic and recent snow events. In addition, we enjoy the convenience of the proximity to the Metro and community bus routes, walking access to shops and restaurants, our own, in-house, [parking garage, and ready and easy access to theaters and major league sports events, as well as continuing access to friends, neighbors, and other community conveniences. Internally, we share a warm and friendly community of new , interesting, traveled and experienced friends. Who could ask for anything more? It’s all right here!
January 2025
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.
January 2025
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.
January 2025
Great location, caring and professional staff, dining in-house, and activities that can match your interests. Services include travel to major sites and events in the NVA and DC Areas as well as to medical appointments,, nearby churches, shopping centers and much more. Be as active (indoor pool and exercise room) or as laid-back as you’d like (bridge clubs, lectures) - buy or rent any of the Independent Living condos at The Jefferson and you won't be disappointed in your senior living choice.

My elderly mother recently stayed for more than a month at The Jefferson’s skilled nursing facility to do rehab following partial hip replacement surgery after a fall. My mother’s experience was mixed at this Sunrise Senior Living facility, with negatives including falling out of bed, getting COVID and having a wound that was not reported to our family and positives including often receiving patient, kind and helpful care, feeding and rehab. I want to offer the highest praise to Elaysia Thompson, Director of Social Services, and Laura, Director of Nursing. Both were professional, helpful, accessible, knowledgeable, hard working, and kind. They both went so above and beyond to assist my mother and our family in many different ways, including after she was discharged to receive the exact hospital bed she needed in her small group home. They both are a huge asset to The Jefferson!
July 2024
Horacio gave us a a great tour of the facility and all its amenities. We had a great discussion about the requirements for becoming a resident. We walked away having a great understanding of The Jefferson Retirement Community.
July 2024
The Jefferson is so beautiful and staff is always so helpful. I recently visited for Tour of Homes and it was such a great experience seeing all the different layouts and decorating. I am a project manager for White Glove Solution and have enjoyed working with Horacio and Roxanne on different projects. The Jefferson is always one place we recommend. Thank you again for always making our experience great.
February 2024
The Jefferson is so beautiful and the staff is so welcoming! I work with White Glove Solution (senior moving company) and we LOVE to work with Tina, Horacio, and Roxanne. They are always willing to help however neccessary. The people at the concierge desk are always such a delight as well! Whenever our client's tell us they are moving into The Jefferson, we always tell them they are making a wise decision!
February 2024
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. I wanted to upload the photo of my mom and aunt meeting again, but I'm running into an error. I'll try again later. But there were smiles all around.
February 2024
I've visited the Jefferson on several occasions and it is a great place for those looking for a vibrant 55+ community. I found the staff to be exceptionally professional but still warm and caring. You can't beat the location. Several restaurants and cafes nearby. And even a farmer's market every thursday right across the street.

The Jefferson rehab staff curated a plan upon admission to care and treat for my mother. I was able to sit in on therapy sessions and participate in activities with my mother.

Our loved one moved to the Jefferson over two years ago from another state. She is in the Assited Living community and enjoys a dailly high quality of life. She loves her bright sunny room, feels safe, and tells her family every day how "busy" she has been attending music concerts and sing-a-longs, playing group games, watching documentaries and old movies and sitting peacefully in the living room reading the paper! To a person, every employee is respectful, kind, patient and positive. The staff takes time to get to know the residents personally in order to keep them stimulated, engaged and comfortable. Liza J, the Director of Assisted Living is the quintessential professional with a refreshing sense of humor and is selflessly devoted to the residents -- she cultivates these traits in her loyal team. The buidling amenities, balconies, and surrounding gardens provide countless options for taking walks (inside and out) and for family to visit with loved ones. The warm and energizing environment of the Jefferson proivdes our famillly with the Peace of Mind that our loved one is well-cared for when we can't be there. It has exceeded all expectations for finding a special place for our loved one to get the professional care she needs as The Jefferson provides a lovely and fun environment for loved ones to age in place.

The Jefferson has the best location of any Independent Living Senior Condo Community in Northern Virginia. It's in exciting Ballston, a block from a metro station and downtown D.C., as well as every type of service available one needs--shoe repair, groceries, tailoring, dry cleaning, and loads of fun and fabulous restaurants.
July 2021
A wonderful group of residents live in this building, their vibrance, attitude, and accomplishments are inspiring. The Jefferson is a very special place.
December 2020
Sadly, what started iff as a wonderful and hopeful experience did nit end that way. Communication among staff (nursing and therapy) is poor at best. I had to bring things about my husband’s physical condition to the attention if the nursing staff, which leads me to the conclusion that they were not fully doing their job in patient care. My husband spoke of mistreatment the night staff, which stopped once it was brought to their attention.

My mother lives in the assisted living part of the Jefferson. She loves it, and it helps me to know she is safe and cared for. The entertainment and activities are absolutely wonderful. The staff are the most patient and caring people you could ask for. The food is good too, not your regular faire.
September 2017
I'm don't live here--I'm a bit too young, believe it or not--but when I'm older, this would be a rather swell place to live! I've a friend and former student [I'm a professional pianist who used to teach othern pianists]---anyway, her own residence in the one of two Jefferson buildings, was, I thought a bit small, certainly compared to anything she would have lived in earlier, but she really liked it, and, yes, it was cozy. Many, many activities for those folks--they're kept quite busy if that's what they like! Buses take them shipping; there's a sort of residence council, exercise programs, crafts. And the common areas are really swanky.
