Tanager Assisted Living: Redefining Senior Living with Compassion, Care, and Class in Potomac, MD

As our loved ones age, choosing the right care environment becomes one of the most important decisions families face. At Tanager Assisted Living, we blend compassionate care with luxurious surroundings, offering a residence where seniors can truly thrive—emotionally, physically, and socially.

Located just 25 minutes from the Nation’s Capital in prestigious Potomac, Maryland, this 11,500 sq. ft. estate is not just a facility—it’s a vibrant home and a sanctuary for aging with dignity and grace.


What Is Assisted Living — and Why Choose It?

Assisted Living is designed for seniors who need some level of help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or medication management, but who still want to maintain independence and enjoy life on their terms.

Unlike nursing homes, which provide more intensive medical care, assisted living communities offer a balance of support and autonomy—ideal for those who do not require 24/7 skilled nursing, but benefit from daily assistance and a socially engaging environment.

At Tanager, this balance is achieved through:

  • 24/7 support with activities of daily living (ADLs)

  • Personalized care plans tailored to each resident

  • A higher staff-to-resident ratio for individual attention

  • Beautiful living spaces and enriching lifestyle amenities


An Exceptional Location with Resort-Style Comfort

Tanager is situated in a serene, tree-lined area of Potomac, MD—an upscale and quiet neighborhood ideal for seniors seeking peace, safety, and accessibility to world-class healthcare and cultural amenities.

The estate features:

  • 5 elegantly furnished private bedrooms

  • 8 bathrooms, including 6 full baths and 2 powder rooms

  • A main-level suite with easy access for mobility needs

  • Gourmet kitchen, wet bar, and wine storage area

  • A private art studio, library, and multiple living spaces

  • Energy-efficient design with wide halls, elevator, and accessible controls

  • Spacious interiors with 9’+ ceilings, crown molding, and luxury finishes

These features combine the coziness of home with the sophistication of a boutique hotel.


Holistic, Personalized Care — Around the Clock

Our dedicated care team supports every resident with compassion and professionalism. We believe that every senior deserves to feel seen, valued, and empowered, regardless of their age or health condition.

Services include:

  • Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting

  • Medication management and regular wellness check-ins

  • Access to medical professionals and therapy services

  • Tailored health plans developed with families and residents

  • Specialized support for those with cognitive or mobility challenges

Our care model is rooted in respect, dignity, and a commitment to overall well-being.


Elevated Dining Designed for Health and Enjoyment

Nutrition plays a critical role in healthy aging. That’s why Tanager offers a dining experience that goes beyond basic meals:

  • Three fresh, chef-prepared meals daily

  • All-day dining for flexibility and independence

  • Menus customized for dietary needs (diabetic, heart-healthy, gluten-free, vegetarian)

  • Private dining options for special celebrations with family

Our dining experience promotes not only physical health, but also community and joy.


Comprehensive Wellness Amenities

At Tanager, well-being is approached holistically—caring for the mind, body, and spirit.

Residents enjoy:

  • On-site spa and salon services (massages, hair, nails, facials)

  • A fitness studio with senior-friendly workouts

  • Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services

  • Outdoor gardens and walking paths for relaxation and nature connection

  • Social spaces like a library, game room, and movie lounge

We encourage residents to participate in activities that spark joy, creativity, and connection.


Engaging Lifestyle & Enrichment Programs

A key to longevity and happiness in senior years is staying socially and mentally active. Our curated activities program includes:

  • Creative arts and crafts workshops

  • Group music therapy and live entertainment

  • Book clubs, movie nights, and educational talks

  • Birthday celebrations and cultural events

  • Outdoor recreation and nature walks

Participation is always optional, and residents are supported in exploring what brings them meaning and fulfillment.


Pet-Friendly Living

Pets bring comfort, companionship, and emotional well-being. We welcome small pets and offer support with basic pet care. At Tanager, your furry friends are part of the family too.


Unwavering Commitment to Safety

We understand how crucial safety is for peace of mind. Tanager is equipped with:

  • Emergency alert systems in every suite

  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

  • Indoor fire sprinklers and surveillance cameras

  • Secure entryways and well-lit walking areas

  • Proximity to hospitals and healthcare providers

Our staff is trained in emergency response and we maintain close partnerships with medical professionals for rapid and comprehensive care.
