Uptown Assisted Living in Manassas offers three levels of residential support—Assisted Living, Residential Care Home, and Memory Care—with a clinical program designed to manage complex medical needs. Care teams are trained to redirect residents who wander day or night, address elopement risk, and respond to combative or other behavioral issues common in advanced dementia. Nurses monitor oxygen therapy, wound care protocols, and diabetic management that spans oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Residents younger than 60 are welcomed when appropriate, and individualized nutrition plans accommodate special diets to support overall health.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight anchors daily life. A registered nurse or LPN is on site 24 hours, backed by additional nursing staff on call, awake night shift aides, and security personnel who monitor alarmed doors, fenced perimeters, and wander-guard systems. Routine podiatry, audiology, dental visits, and therapy sessions take place in dedicated rooms, and psychiatric conditions are accepted with coordinated care plans. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, while mobility support ranges from standby supervision with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents. Emergency pull cords and PERS units can alert staff or dial 911 directly.
Private and semi-private suites are offered, and not every unit includes the same features. Some rooms provide a private bathroom, kitchenette, in-unit laundry, or independent climate controls, while others share common facilities with scheduled housekeeping and laundry services. Residents may furnish their space or use community-provided pieces, and the staff allows personal décor and paint choices to make rooms feel familiar. Cable connections are available for those who want television or internet packages.
Dining is structured yet flexible. A set menu covers three daily meals, but residents can order alternatives at each sitting or request in-room service when preferred. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and a private dining room is reserved for family gatherings or celebrations. The culinary team manages diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, or thickened-liquid plans, coordinating closely with nurses and physicians to ensure nutritional goals match each care plan.
Beyond clinical services, Uptown Assisted Living maintains resident parking, wheelchair access, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, and communal gardens. Internet access, a library, on-site religious services, and special-interest clubs offer additional engagement, while stair glides and a pool support varied mobility and recreation needs. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation options include scheduled shuttles for medical appointments, a town-car service, and proximity to public transit for independent outings.
