Affinity at Arlington is an independent-living community, so residents manage their own daily routines while having safety measures in place. Each apartment is linked to an emergency call system that connects residents to on-site staff 24 hours a day, and regular wellness checks are available for those who request them. Staff can coordinate with outside clinicians, pharmacies, and home-health agencies, giving residents the option to bring in nursing or therapy services if their needs change. Scheduled transportation to local medical appointments helps residents keep up with primary and specialty care without relying on personal vehicles.
Beyond medical coordination, the community supports residents with a range of practical services. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance relieve residents of routine chores. A staffed welcome desk monitors visitors and arrivals, adding a layer of security. The life-enrichment team organizes fitness classes, social programs, and educational events that encourage active living and social connection. Residents can also sign up for concierge assistance to arrange deliveries or set up technology, helping them stay independent without sacrificing convenience.
Apartments come in multiple floor plans, and features vary by unit. Some residences include Wi-Fi or wired high-speed internet, private balconies or patios, air conditioning, cable or satellite television service, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Pet-friendly units are available, and common areas include outdoor seating and on-site parking. Not every apartment has every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts and accessibility details during a tour.
Dining operates on an all-day schedule, letting residents choose when and what they eat rather than following fixed meal times. The on-site bar and pub provide additional space for casual meals and socializing, and residents can invite guests for drinks or light fare in the evening. Menus emphasize variety and portion flexibility, and staff can coordinate with residents who have dietary restrictions or require modified textures, although most residents manage their own nutrition.
Shared amenities include an activity center that hosts dances, karaoke sessions, birthday parties, club meetings, and live music. A library and computer lounge supports reading, internet access, and informal gatherings, while organized social outings keep residents connected to the wider Arlington community. Wellness options feature yoga and chair yoga classes, a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, and raised garden beds for light outdoor activity. Happy hour events and other scheduled programs round out the calendar, giving residents multiple ways to stay engaged on their own terms.
