However, the day-to-day responsibility of ensuring assisted living facilities comply with the Code of Virginia is conducted by the Division of Licensing Programs. It has the authority to conduct unannounced inspections and to revoke licenses from underperforming assisted living facilities.
The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey reveals Ashburn’s monthly assisted living costs to be among the highest in the region, although not the least affordable in Virginia. This is despite Ashburn’s seniors typically paying 21.2% more than the average Virginian and 33% more than the average American.
Although Ashburn’s average monthly fees are at the high end of the scale, seniors in Harrisonburg typically pay an additional $286 per month for similar services. However, there are more affordable places in the region. In Winchester, it’s common to see costs of $4,304 for assisted living, while over the border in Hagerstown, Maryland, they’re often around $4,500.

There are many free resources available to seniors residing in Ashburn.

The following are only examples of what’s available.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Washington D.C. VA Medical Center | (202) 745-8000 | U.S. military veterans and their spouses can use the VA Medical Center located in Washington D.C. for a wide range of health care needs. The center offers treatments for patients dealing with mental health issues and those who require surgical procedures and physical therapies. It also handles critical care and orthopedics and includes a pharmacy and women's health center. A specialty is implanting computer-facilitated cardiac devices that enable telemonitoring of the patient. |
| RSVP Northern Virginia | (703) 246-3460 | Seniors with some time to spare, life-knowledge to impart and a desire to help others in their communities should contact RSVP. The nonprofit specializes in connecting seniors with other nonprofits in the county who could use their help. Programs cover a wealth of subjects, with working in thrift shops, delivering fresh meals to housebound seniors and tending gardens in county parks being only a few examples. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (800) 552-5019 | Seniors unable to resolve issues with their residential care providers can contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, an advocate for the rights of assisted living residents throughout Virginia. The ombudsman is a volunteer with the power to investigate complaints made by seniors, their families, and others. They can negotiate resolutions on the behalf of the complainants, although they have no direct authority over facilities. |
| Loudoun County Area Agency on Aging | (703) 777-0257 | The first stop for any Ashburn senior looking for local resources should be the Loudoun County Area Agency on Aging.

It also provides training for caregivers whose loved ones remain at home and manages a home-delivered meals program for housebound seniors. |
