Abrams Assisted Living

What Abrams Assisted Living does

Abrams Assisted Living is a private, single-site assisted living community in Upper Northwest Washington, D.C., operating 54 private studio apartments for residents aged 62 and older with limited financial resources. The community is housed in Abrams Hall at The Parks at Walter Reed, a 66-acre redevelopment of the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and is managed by Grand Senior Living. Its physical product consists of fully furnished studios with individual climate control, emergency call systems, accessible bathrooms with walk-in showers, Wi-Fi, common areas, an on-site salon, and outdoor courtyard access.

The service offering bundles housing with daily living support: three chef-prepared meals plus snacks, individualized personal care, medication management, housekeeping and laundry, pharmacy delivery, 24-hour staffing and emergency response, nursing oversight, care coordination with external healthcare providers, transportation, and a calendar of social, cultural, and wellness activities. There is no proprietary technology platform — the technology stack is standard senior-living infrastructure.

The business model is a 100% Medicaid-funded operation. Revenue is assembled from three layered programs: the D.C. Medicaid Elderly and Persons with Disabilities (EPD) Waiver covering assisted living services, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program supporting affordable housing, and the D.C. Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP) for extremely low-income residents. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; eligibility requires D.C. residency, age 62+, ADL needs, and certification by the Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL) under income (under $2,901/month) and asset (under $4,000) limits. Residents are admitted through a sales-led, multi-step process (EPD certification, pre-assessment tour, housing application, physician certification, move-in) with referrals sourced from healthcare providers, case managers, social workers, and DACL.
