Fort Washington Estates is a continuing care retirement community, so residents have access to several levels of support without leaving the campus. Independent living residents can transition to personal care or skilled nursing as needs change, ensuring continuity of treatment and record-keeping. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock in higher-acuity areas, and physicians make regular visits for routine exams, medication reviews, and acute issues. The community also offers rehabilitation services—physical, occupational, and speech therapy—delivered in a dedicated therapy suite. An emergency call system links each residence to the nursing station, and staff are trained in coordinated transfer protocols should a hospital visit become necessary.

Additional care features focus on prevention and ongoing health management. A wellness clinic schedules blood-pressure checks, lab draws, and immunizations, while a care coordination team arranges specialist appointments and manages insurance authorizations. On-site pharmacy services handle prescription refills and provide medication education to residents and families. Transportation is available for off-campus medical visits when specialty care can’t be provided in house. The community also runs evidence-based exercise classes and chronic-disease support groups, aiming to reduce hospital readmissions and maintain functional independence for as long as possible.

Residences range from studio apartments to two-bedroom cottages, each designed with age-friendly features such as step-free entryways, lever door handles, and bathrooms equipped with grab bars. Some units include in-home laundry, balconies, or attached garages, but not all accommodations have every feature, so it’s important to review the specific floor plan during a tour. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included, and residents can request additional safety modifications, such as shower chairs or bed rails, through the maintenance department.

Dining is provided three times a day in a central dining room with table service; lighter fare is available in a café for residents preferring flexible hours. Menus are overseen by a registered dietitian who collaborates with nursing to accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, or texture-modified diets. Meals are prepared on site, and residents may request entrée substitutions at each service. A private dining room can be reserved for family events, and tray service is offered to residents recovering from illness or therapy sessions who prefer to eat in their apartment.
