Sunrise of Fairfax in Virginia is a senior living community with a long history of supporting older adults, offering choices like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all in one place so people can get the care they need as they age, and they've got a good bit of experience since they've been doing this for over 35 years. Residents get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and taking medication, and the staff, who are known for being caring and capable, pay attention to what every person needs, so folks can keep their independence for as long as possible and feel comfortable letting the staff know what's important to them. If someone's dealing with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, Sunrise of Fairfax has secure memory care areas, custom care plans, and activities designed for those needs, with features to keep people safe and engaged, like the Reminiscence Program and the Terrace Club. Residents and families can feel a bit of peace of mind knowing there's skilled care right on site, including short-term stays for folks coming out of the hospital, hospice services, or just a break for caregivers, with registered staff watching over everything under the guidance of the executive director, Mr. Melon Rivera.
The building's designed so people can move around easily, with wheelchair accessible showers, wide hallways, and areas to relax, including a two-story grand foyer that welcomes families and visitors, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces with comfortable furniture, a community TV lounge with teal armchairs, and activity areas with computers and books. There's a swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor courtyards with paved walkways, raised gardens, patios, and several places for folks to gather and eat together, including a main dining room with a piano and private dining areas specially set up for memory care. Studio apartments get plenty of light through big windows and include wood cabinets and mini-fridges, set up so it feels like home but with added safety and help nearby. Residents have meals served, housekeeping, wi-fi, beauty services onsite, devotional services, and planned transportation for those who need it, while there's also parking for anyone who still drives.
The whole place is pet-friendly, so people don't have to give up their companions when they move in, and the staff set up daily activities-sometimes offsite and sometimes right there-to keep everyone active, involved, and social, with choices ranging from exercise or gardening to crafts, faith services, and movie nights, along with scheduled events that bring the community together. Sunrise of Fairfax keeps up with the latest research in senior care and makes sure staff are trained and ready for emergencies, following all Virginia assisted living standards. The program encourages people who can speak up about their needs or have an advocate, as the facility aims for residents to take part in decisions about their own care, and families are welcome to visit and stay involved. Sunrise of Fairfax offers the basics seniors need for a safe, warm, and connected place to live, and has established a routine of person-centered care, making it easier for residents to keep their routines, privacy, and dignity, with options for aging in place as care needs change.
