McLean, Virginia- On Thursday, January 22 at 2 p.m., Navy Marine Coast Guard Residence Foundation (NMCGRF) and Vinson Hall Retirement Community (VHRC) in McLean, VA joined local armed services veterans in a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Independent Living apartment building and Community Building. The additions to VHRC add 75 new apartments and 12 new short-term rehabilitation suites to the Continuing Care Retirement Community.
The ribbon cutting ceremony culminated nearly a decade of designing and planning. Board members and administration came together in May 2012 to break ground on the new addition sites which would continue under construction until the late fall of 2014. The original VHRC campus, established in 1969, includes Vinson Hall Independent Living apartments, Arleigh Burke Pavilion Assisted Living and Health Care, and The Sylvestery memory support assisted living. Together, the new $42 million Independent Living building and $14 million Community Building add 268,000 square feet to McLean’s premier retirement community.
