Reston homes come in every shape and size. More than 9,100 Reston homes are townhouses, and about 7,900 more sit in buildings of 50 units or more, like the high-rise condos around Reston Town Center and the Metro stations. Daily life in those homes can mean stairs between every floor, or an elevator, a long hallway and a parking garage between the front door and the car.
Senior apartments are part of the picture too. The new Lake Anne House has 240 affordable apartments for low-income seniors, built to Universal Design standards with an on-site wellness clinic. It replaces the Lake Anne Fellowship House, which had served older adults with very low incomes since the early 1970s.
Our free in-home safety assessment starts with the home your loved one actually lives in, whether that's a townhouse in Hunters Woods, a condo by Reston Town Center, a single-family home in North Point or an apartment near Lake Anne or South Lakes. We use our own tool and share a detailed home safety report with pictures with your family. That report shapes the care plan and helps us match a caregiver with the right skills for the house and the person living in it.
Our caregivers are local professionals who understand the area, its traffic patterns and its community resources. Families with a parent in nearby Vienna can read about our home care for older adults in Vienna as well.
Reston Hospital Center on Town Center Parkway is the community's hospital and emergency room, and many Reston families get to know it during a parent's surgery or an unexpected stay.

That's often the stage of life when a fall, a surgery or a few days in the hospital turns into a need for help at home.
Our caregivers can ease the hospital stay itself. They help plan and pack, arrange transportation, make sure the house is safe while your loved one is away and sit with them as a companion at the hospital, even 24 hours a day if that's what your family needs.

Our hospital to home transition support covers bathing, moving safely, light meals, medication reminders and rides to follow-up visits, and caregivers can go along to regular doctor appointments too, so your loved one has a familiar face beside them.
