The Providence Fairfax sits in the MetroWest neighborhood of Fairfax, close to the Metro, I-66, and Mosaic District, and has a unique way of doing things, with a big U-shaped building wrapped around an open courtyard that feels both safe and welcoming, and all the apartments have large bathrooms with walk-in showers, modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and some have furnished or unfurnished setups, high ceilings, and space for private outdoor time, so residents can find what fits their needs best. The community offers assisted living, memory care, and The Bridge residences for those with mild memory concerns, and they use Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care® to help people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, along with secure studios and a special elevated garden with a walking path for memory care residents.
People living here get services like help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal planning, medication management, and other daily needs, and the staff gets training in aging, safety, and mobility, with part-time nurses, aides, and hearing aid specialists on board, while residents who want to stay active and engaged can take part in yoga, tai chi, dance classes, Watermark University workshops, outings, Engage VR experiences, fitness at the Vitality Fitness Center, salon visits, and organized clubs like jewelry making or language groups. There's transportation for both medical appointments and shopping trips, and personal drivers and shoppers do make things a little easier. You might notice the grounds with gardens, patios, outdoor terraces, firepits on the rooftop, and places you can walk or just relax, and if you like animals, residents can have pets as long as they care for them, plus visiting pets are allowed.
Dining feels like a real treat, since there are chef-led restaurants, places for casual or private meals, snacks and drinks on hand, and meals can be delivered or taken out, with wine cellars and club rooms providing extra options for socializing, and the building's design avoids a clinical look, so everything feels comfortable and bright with modern finishes all over. If you ever need help with health, the community brings in hospice, pharmacy, in-home health, psychiatric care, dental, diabetic checks, immunizations, podiatry, and regular health screenings right on site, with services like medication reminders, companion care, therapy (occupational, physical, speech), rehabilitation, and even support groups. Residents have conference areas, mail pick-up and delivery, newspaper service, fax, laundry, linen, housekeeping, dry cleaning, and valet services, so the daily chores are less of a worry, plus maintenance, pest control, and groundskeeping keep the property tidy, and there are electric car charging stations, too.
People here can use computer rooms, cable and internet, Wi-Fi, telephone hook-ups, meeting rooms, and club spaces, so it's never lonely or boring, and there are religious services including Shabbat, along with game nights, karaoke, live music, celebrations, cultural and intergenerational events, art and crafts, and seasonal activities. Some units have kitchenettes, living areas, private dining spaces, and climate controls, while all residents benefit from 24/7 concierge, security staff, controlled building access, personal alert systems, fall prevention tools, and regular check-ins. The fee to move in equals one month's rent, and payment can come from private pay, insurance, or home sale assistance. The Providence Fairfax keeps a business directory and guide for the local community, offers information on starting or moving a business to Fairfax, holds market events, and features resources for lifelong learning, local culture, and economic development. Everything at The Providence Fairfax tries to focus on a nurturing, vibrant community where people can enjoy wellness, comfort, safety, and things to do every day, with special support for those who need help due to memory loss or other care needs, and the atmosphere combines professional care with warm, inviting spaces, always paying attention to both the big picture and the small details that make life easier and more pleasant.
