The accommodations, staff and resident community at Affinity at Arlington is terrific. Our father moved in when the building first opened in 2020. It was a great place for him to live for the past 5 years until he needed a further level of care, and needed to live closer to his family. Sarah and Melissa have been so helpful to all of us. He loved living there, and participating in group activities, especially Poker and Pinochle! He made a lot of good friends, and always told us how nice everyone was. We will continue to recommend Affinity to friends and family.

My wife Bonnie and I feel very secure here. The building is kept immaculately clean. People are very friendly here. There are many activities that we get to enjoy . It is also a new building and out apartment is very nice. The manager Lindsay is very kind and helpful. Maintenance is always willing and eager to help with everything. Our weekly coffee hours and happy hours are great mixers for meeting people.
Families love this community. See if it’s the right fit for you.
