Sunrise of McLean Village sits in a welcoming spot, and anyone coming in will see the big lobby made for greeting residents and visitors, which always seems to brighten the day, and if the sun's out people can enjoy the exterior patio, maybe for a breath of fresh air or just to sit and chat. The main dining room and the bistro cover meals, so residents have choices and don't have to worry about cooking, and fresh flowers on white linens can be found most days, letting things look nice without being fancy for no reason. There's a library area with good lighting so people can read, and there are plenty of other common rooms set up for socializing or activities, because people like to gather for games or just some conversation. The cozy fireplace lounge and elegant two-story foyer with a staircase give the place a homey feel while still looking put together. The facilities keep up pet-friendly policies, and anyone who needs high-speed internet or better access for a wheelchair will find that too.
Sunrise of McLean Village is a continuing care retirement community, so residents can pick from several types of care, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementia. The place offers short-term stays if someone just needs help for a little while, and respite care or hospice are available if needed. There are memory care gardens with paved paths, flowerbeds, red umbrellas, and even a big birdcage, creating a safe but inviting area for walking and sitting outside, and the memory care suites offer simple comforts like cherry cabinets, kitchenettes, personal touches, and soft lighting. The memory care library and common area are set up with cozy seats and large windows, letting in light and giving people quiet spaces to read or just relax.
A range of programs aim to keep everyone engaged, like the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, which tailor daily activities for people's interests and abilities, and staff work to support people in eating, bathing, dressing, and keeping up with medications. There's individualized care to help each person maintain as much independence as possible, with skilled nurses on site for those who need more medical or rehabilitative support. The community supports veterans and welcomes people from many backgrounds, connecting residents with resources for health, legal help, transportation, or planning, using a directory with over 26,000 support programs. Anyone who needs special help or wants to learn more can find guides, articles, and even local events through the facility's network of dedicated websites and resources.
Meals focus on nutrition and quality, and the open-concept kitchen and bistro add to a home-like atmosphere, while common areas stay clean and well-kept. Sunrise of McLean Village has been run by Sunrise Senior Living for over 35 years, and the administrator is Maureen Davis. The approach stays holistic, aiming to pay attention to each person's needs and preferences, always keeping safety and well-being as priorities, especially in secured memory care spaces where comfort and peace stay front and center. The community holds various awards and compliance verifications as a recognized provider in Virginia, and staff often help coordinate additional services like Dignity Home Care for seniors who need care at home, or hospice at the end of life. With 88 beds in the Assisted Living Facility, the range of senior living options makes it possible for residents to adjust their level of care if their health changes, so they can stay where they feel comfortable and supported.
