Martha Jefferson House, located in the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia, is a senior living community that offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Long-Term Nursing Care services. Founded in 1957 by local philanthropist Hunter Carlyle Perry, this 501(c)3 non-profit organization provides for the health, social, and recreational needs of single adults and couples who no longer wish to manage a household and may need support with their activities of daily living.
The community is centered around an elegant 1921 Georgian-style brick mansion and beautifully landscaped grounds. Residents have a variety of accommodation options, including spacious 1-2 bedroom apartments in the Perry Wing, charming suite apartments in Eleanor's Landing, and cozy suite and studio apartments in Hunter's Way. For those requiring more assistance, The Carlyle offers around-the-clock nursing care in a home-like setting with private and semi-private rooms for Long-Term and Respite care.
Martha Jefferson House also operates Brookwood Therapeutic Services, which provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy services to residents and the outpatient community. The holistic approach taken by Brookwood Therapeutic Services aims to foster a healthy and robust lifestyle for each patient, addressing issues related to movement, daily routines, communication, and swallowing dysfunction.
Residents of Martha Jefferson House enjoy a community rich in history with access to a variety of amenities located nearby, including shops, parks, museums, theaters, and the Gordon Avenue Library. The tranquil setting of the Martha Jefferson House, tucked away at the end of a private cul-de-sac, offers a peaceful and supportive environment for seniors to thrive and enjoy their golden years.
