HOW TO BECOME A RESIDENT
Living at Abrams Assisted Living means enjoying much more than the comforts within our walls. Our home inside historic Abrams Hall is part of The Parks at Walter Reed, a vibrant 66-acre community filled with energy, history, and green space in one of D.C.’s most desirable neighborhoods. As part of The Parks, residents enjoy year-round events from live jazz concerts and outdoor movie nights to fitness classes and community gatherings, all just steps away. Stroll the central plaza, explore peaceful garden spaces, browse unique shops, or take in the beauty of Rock Creek Park’s 1,700 acres of trails and picnic spots.
