Woodleigh Chase Offers Impressive Amenities, Predictable Finances, and Lasting Value

At Woodleigh Chase, the Erickson Senior Living community in Fairfax, Va., residents enjoy the peace of mind that comes with predictable expenses and a vibrant, maintenance-free lifestyle.

The community's solid financial structure is built around a monthly service package that bundles utilities, home maintenance, dining, and access to a wide range of amenities. With the assurance of predictable costs, residents are free to enjoy new opportunities, build friendships, and make the most of every day.

"My expenses are very consistent every month with no surprises. Food, security, utilities, maintenance, and amenities are all included," says Cathie Craighill, who moved to Woodleigh Chase from Haymarket, Va., in 2024.

More for your money

Woodleigh Chase's monthly service package replaces the many expenses homeowners typically incur, including utilities, heating and air conditioning, a meal plan at the on-site restaurants, maintenance and home repairs, regularly scheduled transportation, reserved under-building parking, 24-hour security and emergency response, professional landscaping, Wi-Fi, phone, and cable TV.

"The monthly service package covers all of your day-to-day needs within the community, as well as unexpected repairs like a broken appliance or leaky faucet," says Sales Director Nahid Young. "You don't have to worry about setting money aside for surprise costs. Instead, you can spend that money on travel or your favorite hobbies."

For Cathie, a recent widow who moved from a single-family home in a 55-plus community, having a maintenance-free home was a welcome change.

"When I had maintenance problems at my house, I hated to call my son or son-in-law for help or advice. They have very busy lives. I feel so much better being independent now and not bothering them," she says.

With house maintenance no longer a concern, Cathie enjoys many new opportunities at Woodleigh Chase.

"I love going to shows and lectures on campus. I volunteer with the Resident Advisory Council, play mah-jongg, and do water aerobics. Recently, I participated in a 'Grand Camp' with two of my grandchildren," she says. "I also take advantage of the on-site restaurants, swimming pool, medical center, fitness programs, pub, and card room. The food is very good, and the monthly meal plan more than covers my meals. And being able to walk down the hall and speak to medical staff who know your name has been so comforting."

Long-term security

While residents enjoy an active, vibrant lifestyle, Woodleigh Chase also provides strong financial protection through its 80% refundable entrance fee,* a onetime investment that ensures lasting value and peace of mind.

"As I researched different places, I realized that there are many financial models. No upfront costs usually mean higher monthly costs, none of which is refundable.

Woodleigh Chase's [80%] refundable entrance fee felt like the best model for me," says Cathie.

No one ever expects to run out of money, but sometimes unforeseen issues arise that can quickly deplete your hard-earned savings and put you at risk. Woodleigh Chase is prepared to assist eligible residents who outlive their resources with their Home for Life promise*. No one will be asked to leave the community because of a genuine inability to pay.

"I feel that moving to Woodleigh Chase was a gift to our children. They would know that I am in a place where I would receive the support I may need in the future," says Cathie. "After my husband passed away, that became doubly important as I dealt with an aging home that would need major maintenance projects before long."

Built for the future

Woodleigh Chase strives to provide an exceptional value in the senior living market by investing in services, amenities, and infrastructure.

"Erickson Senior Living does an excellent job of maintaining the look and appearance of all its communities, including Woodleigh Chase," says Young. "From beautifully landscaped grounds to inviting common spaces, we take great pride in ensuring these areas are not only attractive but also well-kept and up to date, creating a welcoming environment for our residents and their visitors. As the community grows, we will introduce more amenities and services, enhancing the value of the community and fostering the vibrant, active lifestyle we aim to provide."

Cathie is happy she made the move to Woodleigh Chase and encourages others not to wait.

"I believe that this was the best move for me," she says. "Woodleigh Chase is a fun, vibrant, very active community! I have wonderful neighbors and have made many new friends. If you wait until you need to move, you've waited too long and you've missed out on an entire community of interesting people with diverse experiences, occupations, and interests."
