What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fairfax City

Fairfax, which is situated along the Potomac River in Virginia, is a historically rich city that was first settled by Europeans in the early 1700s. In spite of its expansion since its early days, the city's 25,000 residents can still enjoy its small-town feel at the Old Town Square, where concerts and entertainment events are held throughout the year.  

Roughly 14% of Fairfax's population are aged 65 and over, and those who no longer wish to live at home may choose to reside in one of the region's 42 assisted living facilities. Of these facilities, five are located within Fairfax proper and the other 37 are in nearby cities. These facilities are governed by the Department of Social Services.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fairfax City

  • In Virginia, Social Security retirement benefits are not taxed, and other types of retirement income are deductible up to $12,000 for those aged 65 and over. The state's property and sales tax rates are also low, which may leave more money in the budget for assisted living in Fairfax. 
  • The Fairfax area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Inova Fair Oaks Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Fairfax has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Fairfax County Commission on Aging, an organization that advocates for the needs of older adults in the Fairfax region and coordinates community services and projects to enrich local seniors' lives, as well as two senior centers.
  • The Fairfax County Department of Transportation provides several public transportation options in Fairfax, including Metrobus and Metrorail routes, which are operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Seniors age 65 and over are eligible to ride for a reduced fare.   
  • On the BestPlaces Comfort Index, Fairfax ranks 7.3 out of 10, making it one of the most comfortable cities in the state. Year-round temperatures range between 24 degrees and 86 degrees. This city may be well-suited to seniors who enjoy experiencing four distinct seasons. 
  • Fairfax is a fairly expensive place to live with a cost of living that exceeds the state average by over 50% and the national average by more than 69%. This is primarily due to the high cost of housing in the area, which may drive up the cost of assisted living. This may be a consideration for seniors with limited means.
