Within a 15 mile radius we have: The Virginian, Sleepy Hollow, fairfax Nursing Home, and just down the street in Tyson's and Springfield we have other facilities. Remember, developers do not care about the citizens of the community, just the bottom line, and these facilities bring in lots of bucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-50643603635295796582012-05-25T19:25:10.345-04:002012-05-25T19:25:10.345-04:00Ok, so how can we stop it?Ok, so how can we stop it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-32688410155230990352012-05-25T14:07:05.536-04:002012-05-25T14:07:05.536-04:00There is definitely a need for assisted living com...There is definitely a need for assisted living communities, I will probably be in one sooner than later. But, this proposal is going into a quiet residential community far from everything. This would be far better further up Gallows Rd, north of rte 50, where all the development is happening, so the seniors could get out and around, there are stores and restaurants, the Metro, and the roads can handle the traffic. Not in a neighborhood where it isn't wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-32625492386682771192012-05-25T11:15:56.810-04:002012-05-25T11:15:56.810-04:00Three-stories -- not exactly a fit for the neighbo...Three-stories -- not exactly a fit for the neighborhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-77831780032902854592012-05-25T11:15:35.004-04:002012-05-25T11:15:35.004-04:00Wouldnt it make more sense to put it somewhere whe...Wouldnt it make more sense to put it somewhere where the seniors could get out and about a little easier (except for those with Alzheimers)? Like closer to town? Gallows Road doesn't need more traffic coming in and out at that point, and it certainly doesn't need another red light there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-22969221616358775482012-05-24T10:16:53.540-04:002012-05-24T10:16:53.540-04:00I think this is another example of tearing down mo...I think this is another example of tearing down more of the original Annandale in the name of profit. This area was bound to be developed some day, but I had hoped it would have been residential housing. There's a reason the acreage is zoned R-2. Let's hope the proposal doesn't go through. Yes, we all will need " assisted" living at some pont in our lives, but I doubt that it will impact anyone if it is located elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-74369414954217258002012-05-22T22:24:16.110-04:002012-05-22T22:24:16.110-04:00With the wave of baby boomers hitting retirement, ...With the wave of baby boomers hitting retirement, the need for assisted living housing and senior services will grow. While some Annandale residents may not be happy with this proposal, the hard truth is that ALL Annandale residents will sooner or later be a senior citizen and may require assisted living.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-48450062989362319232012-05-22T20:36:10.579-04:002012-05-22T20:36:10.579-04:00hmmmmm interesting.
