The View Alexandria by Goodwin Living stands on a seven-acre campus at 5000 Fairbanks Avenue in Alexandria, VA, and it has a long connection with Goodwin Living, offering many kinds of care for seniors, whether you need independent living, assisted living, or memory care due to things like Alzheimer's or other dementia. Folks who live here can pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, and there's a planned expansion with two new apartment towers and up to 257 senior units, which means more people will have a place to call home. The community gives access to a heated swimming pool, walking paths, a restaurant-style dining room, a game room, a library, a chapel, and a fitness room, along with handy services like weekly housekeeping, linen service, personal laundry, and transportation to appointments.
The staff helps with medication, bathing, dressing, and grooming, and they pay special attention to what each person needs, so residents can stay as independent as possible. There's long-term nursing support with private suites-22 beds for people who need ongoing care-and they work hard to keep everyone connected with therapy, music therapy, light therapy, and aromatherapy to boost mood, help memory, and make the space calmer. Residents also have social programs and access to technology, with lots of ways to stay engaged with activities and staff, and visitors are welcome because family is important here. The dining team makes healthy meals for all kinds of diets, and there's always a focus on well-being, both physical and mental.
The View Alexandria by Goodwin Living gives seniors a lot of resources, like a library full of articles, guides, and videos, and there are connections to veteran services, legal help, insurance information, and community events. Goodwin Living runs the place, and there's even more help for people who live outside the community, including services for elder abuse prevention, fall prevention, hospice, home safety, disability support, and a giant directory of programs and benefits. The care team builds custom plans depending on each resident's needs, and they keep everything organized with reminders for appointments, transportation, and other support. People with pets can bring them, and each apartment has Wi-Fi and high-speed internet. The campus has won awards for meals, friendly staff, and activities, but its focus stays on simple living, safety, and making sure older adults have the help they need, when they need it.
