Our read on The Jefferson
The Jefferson runs 31 beds in Arlington, and the numbers behind its record are worth pausing on. Inspectors have cited 63 deficiencies, four of them at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and four tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $61,065. Staff turnover sits at 68.3% against a national average of 45.8%, which tracks with its one-star staffing rating, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. What's odd is the quality measure score: five stars, meaning the clinical data the home reports looks good even as its staffing and inspection records don't. Ask what that gap actually reflects before you decide.
