The Wellington at Lake Manassas offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to move between service levels without leaving the community. Residents with complex medical needs can remain on site, as staff manage conditions such as wandering behaviors, elopement risk, sleep disruption, aggressive outbursts, wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes—whether treated with oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Care teams are trained to work with younger adults under 60 as well as those living with advanced dementia.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site around the clock, supported by an awake night staff and a full security presence. All employees undergo background checks, and every exterior door is alarmed. In-room pull cords link directly to staff and 911. The community coordinates on-site podiatry and accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team can handle transfer needs ranging from stand-by support to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers, including bed-bound care.
Apartments are designed for practicality. Many offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable service, although some layouts have a different mix of features. Residents may request modifications to support mobility devices. Dining follows a straightforward model: daily set menus, an on-order option for alternate meals, and snacks available throughout the day. Therapeutic diets are prepared as ordered by physicians or dietitians.
Independent Living residents keep their autonomy while receiving medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that reserves a set number of meals in the main dining room. These services can be adjusted if needs change, making it easy to add or reduce support without relocating within the campus.
The Wellington provides resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a full-service barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
