Vitality Living Arlington is an assisted-living community capable of managing a wide range of medical needs. Residents with wandering behaviors—whether daytime or nighttime—elopement risk, combativeness, or other behavioral concerns can be accommodated, and the staff is prepared to support individuals living with advanced dementia. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, diabetic management for both oral medications and insulin injections, and care for adults under 60 who require an assisted-living setting.

Round-the-clock nursing coverage includes an RN or LPN on site at all times, backed by a nurse on call 24/7. Caregivers are awake throughout the night, and background-checked personnel monitor secured doors, fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, and Wander Guard systems. An activity director coordinates daily engagement, while on-site podiatry, audiology, dental services, a therapy room, and acceptance of psychiatric conditions help reduce outside appointments. Residents who need help with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting can receive full assistance. Transfer options range from supervision with a walker to two-person or full Hoyer lift transfers, including support for bed-bound residents.

Apartments may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service; residents can repaint or decorate to personalize their spaces. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, though not every unit offers every listed feature.

Meals follow a set menu with dietitian oversight for gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets. Snacks are always available, and residents can choose in-room dining or reserve a private dining room for guests.

Additional amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and a pet-friendly policy. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The campus is wheelchair accessible and features a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, special-interest clubs, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit.
