Assisted Living and Memory Care FAQs

ASSISTED LIVING

What safety measures are in place for Assisted Living residents?

All residences in Assisted Living at The Trillium Tysons are designed with ample lighting, wide-threshold doorways to accommodate wheelchairs, stability bars in all bathrooms, and emergency-call capability.

What floor plan options are available for members in Assisted Living?

Our Assisted Living residences will be offered in one-, and two-bedroom configurations, with living rooms and kitchenettes available. They will feature upscale touches and polished finishes, high ceilings, bright windows, and large bathrooms with walk-in showers. Though the Trillium will offer all levels of living, we will also be a premier Assisted Living community in McLean, Virginia.

May couples live together in an Assisted Living residence?

Yes, of course. The Trillium has a dedicated neighborhood of Assisted Living residences where couples may live together and receive the extra assistance they need. But if just one spouse should require assistance, our caregivers will also visit the apartment homes of Independent Living residents to provide aid and care for the partner who needs it. In either scenario, a couple will be able to continue living together.

What costs are associated with Assisted Living at The Trillium?

Generally, a resident’s monthly lease fee will consist of a Base Rate, which includes housing, dining, services and amenities. If care and services for Assisted Living are needed, that will add to the Base Rate. Memory Care is delivered at an all-inclusive rate.

Are pets permitted in Assisted Living residences?

Yes. Just as they are in Independent Living residences.

MEMORY CARE

What type of Memory Care will residents receive at The Trillium Tysons?

Our Memory Care team members receive certified training in Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care^®, a proven method to enhance the quality of life and relationships of those living with brain change.

How will I know if Memory Care is right for my loved one?

That’s not always an easy decision to make. But there are some indicators that will alert you when your loved one needs Memory Care. Here are a few signs to watch out for:

Changes in behavior
Forgetting to perform daily tasks
Becoming withdrawn or antisocial
Tolerating an unhealthy living environment
Failing to pay monthly bills
Disorientation and confusion
Forgetting how to drive or use the stove
Severe incontinence
Weight loss
Difficulty standing

It’s best to get an assessment from a physician. The care team at The Trillium may also be of service. Don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance.

What is the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia?

Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life, while Alzheimer's is a specific disease. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia. The Trillium is licensed to provide Memory Care for seniors in McLean, Virginia.

What type of housing accommodations are available for Memory Care residents?

The Trillium will have 24 memory care residences located in our 2nd floor Memory Care neighborhood which has its own secured terrace for fresh air and calming views.
