Residential Assisted Living in Prince William County

Many families in Prince William County start out touring assisted living communities, then realize what their loved one really wants is to live in a real home again, on a quiet street, with the same caring faces every day. Some people call this a group home or residential assisted living. Gracewood Senior Living is a spacious, brand new residential assisted living home at 1400 F Street in Woodbridge, with 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, serving families from Woodbridge, Dale City, Lake Ridge, Manassas, Dumfries, Triangle and across the county.

What residential assisted living means at Gracewood

Gracewood is a brand new house in a residential neighborhood, with 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Residents have private suites, share family-style meals, and spend their days in generous common rooms that look and feel like a family home.

Our caring, background-checked team of CNA-certified caregivers is in the home around the clock, providing 24-hour care with a 4:1 resident-to-caregiver ratio. With that ratio, the people helping your loved one know their name, their routines, and how they like their coffee.

A residential home or a large community: how families decide

Neither option is right for everyone. Families often weigh questions like these:

• Setting. Does your loved one feel more at ease in a quiet house or in a busy building with many activities?
• Familiar faces. How important is it to see the same people most days?
• Daily rhythm. Would a flexible, home-style routine suit them better than a set schedule?
• Getting around. Would a familiar home layout, from suite to kitchen to living room, be easier and less tiring to move through?
• Social life. Does your loved one enjoy a few close connections, or a large crowd?

People who feel overwhelmed in busy settings, who enjoy a quiet table at mealtime, or who simply want to live in a house again often do well in a residential assisted living home.

How Gracewood works

Each resident begins with an assessment with the resident and family. We write a service plan around what that person needs and update it as things change. Medication needs are reviewed during each resident's assessment. Residents may keep the doctors, home health agencies and hospice providers they already trust.

Couples' suite available, for spouses or partners who want to stay together.

Cost

We quote after a care look, in writing, on the tour. We do not post prices online, because each person's needs are different.
