Vierra Falls Church

Vierra Falls Church, which many long-time locals remember as Powhatan Nursing Home, sits at 2100 Powhatan Street, Falls Church, VA, in the heart of Northern Virginia and offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, in-home care, and even specialized housing for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia, including designs that help reduce confusion and wandering, and you'll find they handle a lot of the regular chores like daily housekeeping, maintenance, and personal laundry so folks don't have to worry about those kinds of things. The facility has around 160 skilled nursing beds for people who need more medical attention, and there's always 24-hour oversight from doctors and nurses, with specialists and a registered dietitian whose job is to keep meals nutritious and support special dietary needs, and there're options for both long and short stays, including respite and hospice care, adult day care, and personalized rehabilitation with a team that helps seniors get back on their feet after illness or injury. There's a range of activity programs aimed at keeping everyone social and active, both mentally and physically and emotionally, and folks who live here can join wherever they're comfortable, whether that's in a studio or one-bedroom - all fully furnished for comfort - and they also offer insurance and care planning advice as well as information on resources for things like Medicaid, VA benefits, energy help, and Medicare Savings, with programs for low-income seniors, veterans, and those who need a little extra help with day-to-day living. The place's known for being friendly, and they've picked up community awards for their care, programs, and the kindness of their staff, plus the team's got over 50 years' experience in senior care, which you can see in the way they tailor everything, even help with employment training through Virginia SCSEP for folks over 55, and give out Senior Farmers' Market vouchers for low-income seniors so they can buy fresh produce, and enough resources and advisors for people who want free guidance on what's best for their situation. The facility, also sometimes called Vierra Falls Church Health & Rehabilitation, has programs like CCC Plus and the Virginia Auxiliary Grant for qualified seniors, supports those with income or asset limits, and provides medical coverage information, social service help, and property tax relief skills for eligible elderly or disabled homeowners, and you'll find activity programs are made to fit all interests and abilities, while the staff - led by administrator Mr. Colin Gannon - is recognized for being helpful, patient, and joyful. The place's had a 4.2 out of 5 rating across a handful of reviews, and their reports and performance measures keep track of costs, charges, care quality, and community support so families know what to expect if they're considering moving mom, dad, or themselves, someday, to a place that's been around a while and has learned how to fit care to all sorts of senior needs.
