Corso Chevy Chase sits at 7100 Connecticut Avenue and welcomes residents who are 62 years or older, and you'll find over 500 different residences in several connected buildings between four and five stories, with close to 287 independent living units, up to 190 assisted living beds, and up to 30 memory care beds, plus some well-appointed studios and Memory Care homes, so people have some choice based on what they need. The property offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care all in one community, and staff can help with bathing, dressing, medication management, as well as provide a 24-hour call system to help keep residents safe, and families should know the community also provides personalized care plans, secure areas for those with memory needs, and daily support. Residents can move between different types of care, so if they need more help later, they don't need to move away. There's an on-site Residential Care Facility that houses these services all together, and Corso Chevy Chase uses unique care program names and terms, focusing on happiness, dignity, and innovation.
The facility has been built with resident comfort, safety, and well-being in mind, with amenities that support independence like chef-led dining, an arts room, a game room, a library, a fitness area, spa, wellness spaces, and 5,000 square feet of retail spaces open to the public, plus transportation services which make getting around easier. You'll see dining, retail, and recreational features connected to encourage community and creativity, and common spaces are centered around bringing people together in small and large groups. People can join memory wellness programs, creative activities, and meaningful events, and the staff provides support at each level, using their own names for staff, rooms, and programming as part of their unique approach. The facility uses technology for things like emergency alerts and care communication, and families can get updates as needed.
Corso Chevy Chase is managed by Galerie Living and Community Three, and they have a no buy-in policy, so residents can keep more control over their future, while still having on-site nursing staff and care teams. The project uses sustainable building features and modern design while also working through zoning and community plans to make sure neighbors have input, holding public hearings and letting people submit thoughts in writing or through Zoom forums, and things like the approved Forest Conservation Plan, Stormwater Management Plan, and Traffic Signalization Plan reflect how the developers try to address parking, safety, and environmental concerns as they build the campus. The construction, scheduled for different phases between February 2025 and around late 2027, includes careful steps for things like asbestos removal, tree preservation, temporary antenna relocation, and on-site parking only for construction workers.
This senior community blends private homes, social spaces, and needed care under one roof, providing choices for active seniors and those with special care needs, and it's been designed to let people age in place with dignity and comfort. Residents can expect meals, activities, daily help, safety features, and flexible support as their needs change. The management team says they want people to feel valued, able to pursue interests, build new friendships, and live with as much joy as possible.
