My late mother lived in Tysons Woods, a small assisted living facility in Vienna VA for almost 8 years.  The care she received was absolutely remarkable - largely due to the incredible staff employed at Tysons Woods, and trained by Andy Cocito, the owner of Tysons Woods.  Without the amendment, the type of care that Andy and her staff provide to the residents would be negatively impacted.  And the cost to residents would likely go up as well.  Small assisted living facilities provide vitally important services to families who are trying their best to find good quality care for their loved ones.  Please do not make things harder for them.
