The Orchards at Arlington Highlands provides assisted-living care that centers on dependable medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to handle medication management, routine health assessments, and coordination with physicians and specialists in the Arlington area. Residents have access to on-site wellness checks, assistance with chronic disease monitoring, and prompt response to emergencies through a community-wide call system. The goal is to maintain safety and stability while allowing each resident to retain as much independence as possible.
Beyond clinical oversight, the community offers daily help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other activities of daily living. Individualized care plans are reviewed regularly to adjust for changing needs, and rehabilitative therapies can be arranged on site or through local providers. Scheduled transportation to medical appointments is available, and family members receive regular updates on their loved one’s progress. Staff also coordinate with pharmacies and hospitals to ensure continuity of care if an off-site visit or hospitalization occurs.
Accommodation options range from studio to two-bedroom layouts, with practical features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi in most units. Select residences may include a balcony, terrace, patio, or deck, and some have direct access to outdoor areas. Handicap-accessible floor plans, cable or satellite TV hookups, and parking spaces are offered as available, and the community is pet friendly. Because floor plans vary, not every apartment contains every listed feature.
Dining follows an all-day model, allowing residents to choose mealtimes that suit their routines. Menus are crafted to meet nutritional guidelines while accommodating physician-ordered diets and personal preferences. The culinary team prepares meals on site and offers lighter fare throughout the day for snacks or late dining. A massage therapist is available by appointment to support overall wellness and help residents maintain flexibility and comfort, complementing the nutrition program.
Residents can stay engaged through an activity center that hosts karaoke, live music, birthday parties, dances, and happy hours. Social outings, clubs, and community groups provide opportunities to connect with neighbors, while a library and computer lounge offers quieter options for reading and internet use. Fitness choices include swimming, yoga, and chair yoga, and a jacuzzi is on site for relaxation. Outdoor areas are open to residents who enjoy fresh air, and the community schedules seasonal events to round out the calendar.
