Fairfax Nursing Center sits in a comfortable spot for people needing both long-term and short-term care, and for over 50 years, family ownership has set a steady hand here, with Mr. Wayne Pflasterer, II, serving as the dedicated administrator; the facility runs with a total of 198 and 2 licensed beds, focusing on skilled nursing care and strong rehabilitation programs. The experienced staff-registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants-handle care around the clock, covering needs for those who've had recent falls, brain bleeds, or big surgeries, and the physicians themselves run the place, which means medical care's always at the center. People get help with daily activities and specialized therapies like speech, physical, occupational, and even respiratory therapy, with personalized rehab programs adjusting as people get better or need more help. There's an emphasis on making folks feel honestly cared for, with the staff working in a supportive, warm environment, while amenities such as air conditioning, wheelchair accessibility, onsite parking, and restrooms make visits and living easier for both residents and families. Residents have access to social services, medication management, and special diets if needed, and the daily activities and recreation programs help keep people engaged and connected. The staff-to-resident ratio is strong, with care taken to match each person's needs, whether for short-term rehab with modern equipment or long-term supervision, and there's always someone there to guide new residents through admissions in a friendly way. Fairfax Nursing Center keeps track of its care quality with efficiency indicators, and the whole approach centers on making sure people feel supported, secure, and respected every day.

Lovely campus, inconsistent, unsafe care
I saw two sides: a lovely campus with a koi pond and some truly outstanding therapists and nurses who went above and beyond, but my overall experience was mostly negative. Chronic understaffing and poor management led to missed/late meds, delayed pain relief, hygiene neglect, bedsores and infections; the building felt old, sometimes dirty, and meals were often poor. Care is wildly inconsistent and expensive - I would not trust this place with a frail or terminal loved one unless you can personally verify the specific staff and services.
