Inspīr Embassy Row coming to D.C.

Maplewood Senior Living is bringing a new 174-unit luxury senior living residence to Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. Inspīr Embassy Row will have amenities such as an indoor heated saltwater pool, steam room, sauna, salt room, movie theater, salon and spa.

With a prime location on Massachusetts Avenue at the end of Embassy Row, the eight-story building will have studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences. The property is less than two blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro Station.

“You can utilize all the shopping, the restaurants and the Sunday market…it’s pretty popular,” said Laurie Thomas, Inspīr Embassy Row’s executive director.

The community will offer an integrated care model with an interdisciplinary care team and different levels of clinical care, from as-needed services to assisted living and memory care with highly trained staff. There will also be 24-hour care for those in need, as well as physical and occupational therapy.

Wellness coaches can personalize a health and fitness program with onsite activities such as yoga, meditation, brain fitness, water aerobics, balance training and spiritual practices.

Culinary options include a café, two restaurants with outdoor dining options, and a rooftop bar and lounge. Inspīr is committed to implementing the culinary selections that residents request, and their relatives are welcome enjoy meals on-site.

“We love having [residents’] relatives come in. A very big piece of what we do is create a home-like atmosphere, except with luxury surroundings and high-class cuisine,” Thomas said.

Inspīr Embassy Row will also offer high-end programming — comedy shows, opera recitals, classical music concerts, trips to the Kennedy Center and Ford’s Theatre, and classes in partnerships with local universities.

“Cultural events are very big on our agenda. We’re really into live entertainment as well as lifelong learning,” Thomas said.

Inspīr Embassy Row is currently under construction, but the leasing gallery is open daily at 1417 22nd St. NW, Washington, D.C.

The anticipated opening date for Inspīr Embassy Row is December 2024. For more information and to schedule a meeting, contact Laurie Thomas at (202) 293-2100 or visit inspirseniorliving.com.

Vinson Hall opens to all

Vinson Hall Retirement Community, a Life Plan Community in McLean, Virginia, has opened its independent living building to non-veterans over 60 for the first time.

What began in 1969 as a retirement home for Navy widows that opened in 1969 grew into an assisted living and nursing residence; a memory care and assisted living residence; and short-term rehabilitation, which won U.S. News & World Report’s Best Short-Term Rehabilitation this year.

Those residences have long been open to the general public, but last fall was the first time Vinson Hall’s independent living apartments became available to those who are in good physical, cognitive and financial health.

“We’re excited for the next chapter,” said Stephanie Lawrence, senior director of marketing at Vinson Hall.

“We’ve always been in a state of evolution, and we’re continuing to evolve and to provide the best care we can and the best lifestyle we can.”

Vinson Hall has won many awards and accolades over the decades, including Best of Alexandria last year.
