The Best Assisted Living Communities in Fairfax County, VA

"It was great. The staff was very informative and answered my questions. The community is beautiful, bright, clean, and brand new. A lot of residents were out and active. One time, we were there for happy hour, and then we were there for bingo. It was beautiful. Their dining area is large, bright, and clean."

"I toured Fran Cares. The facility was very clean. The staff was very brilliant and showed me around. The rooms were clean and had a large bedroom. The only downside that I had with that particular facility, it only had one large bathroom that everyone used."

"Beulah Spring Assisted Living LLC was beautiful. The home was very spacious. It's huge. It had stairlifts going upstairs and stairlifts going down into the basement. The owner was extremely nice. I think the only reason why we didn't go with her was because the other place was closer to my grandfather. It was very clean and nice. It's absolutely amazing, the artwork, the furniture and the TV, the whole setup. The way she has her house laid out, you would think that she had an interior decorator come in and set this whole thing up. The rooms were big. All of the private rooms had queen-sized beds. The bed was a little bigger than a twin bed in the semi-private room. The dining area was nice. She has two kitchens in this house. She has one upstairs and one downstairs. This house is maybe one level down from being a mansion. She turned it into an assisted living. The bedrooms are huge. The living room is big. There are three couches in the living area. The kitchen upstairs or the main floor is big and has a big dining room table. Then she has a kitchen downstairs. They have a front yard and a backyard. They can sit out on the deck. There's plenty of room for family to come and visit and be able to sit and that's upstairs and downstairs. You can have three or four family members visit at the same time and just be in the room or the common areas."

"I am beyond grateful for the outstanding care and compassion shown by the staff at Fenwick Landing Senior Care Community. From the moment my mother arrived, the entire team—especially Karin, Robin, Tina, Ashley, Sam, Tiffany, Sheila, Andrea, and the amazing on-site caregivers—welcomed her with warmth, professionalism, and dignity. My mother started out in the Fenwick Adult Day Care program, where she was picked up from our home each morning and brought to the facility for a day filled with engaging activities and support. In the afternoon, she was safely returned home. This gave our family comfort and routine. When I needed a break or had a scheduled vacation, I used REPRISE respite care, which worked out beautifully. Eventually, my mother transitioned into Fenwick Landing Senior Care Community as her permanent home. That transition was an emotional rollercoaster for my family, but the support from Karin, the entire staff, and the Fenwick Virtual Support Group for caregivers was nothing short of phenomenal. This group has been an extraordinary support system, helping us through one of the most emotionally difficult periods of our lives. The staff consistently goes above and beyond to create a supportive and engaging environment for the residents. My mother especially enjoys the creative activities coordinated by the Activity Director—from BINGO and bowling to themed events and special outings. These experiences have brought joy and renewed energy to her daily life. Fenwick Landing is not just a care facility—it’s a true community. The communication with families is transparent, the environment is clean and inviting, and every interaction is rooted in kindness and respect. Knowing my mother is safe, happy, and well cared for gives me a peace of mind that is priceless. Special thanks to the amazing chefs, nurses, bus drivers, and all the dedicated staff working directly with residents—your hard work and compassion truly shine every day. Thank you to Karin, Robin, Tina, Ashley, Sam, Tiffany, Sheila, Andrea, and the entire Fenwick team for the incredible difference you are making in the lives of your residents and their families. If you are searching for a place where your elderly loved one will be treated with dignity, joy, and genuine care—from day services to full-time residency—Fenwick Landing is the home you’ve been looking for. I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional community."

"Purple Heart Assisted Living is the best facility in the area. My grandfather suffered from dementia and we chose Purple Heart because the bedrooms were spacious which gave my grandfather room for his recliner and to setup his table for card games. This facility made my grandfather feel like part of the family. He ate with the staff, played games and watched movies on a regular basis. I received a daily report of my grandfathers eating habits, medication intake and sleeping patterns. As my grandfathers mobility started to fade, the wheelchair accessible bathroom and lift made it easier for him to get in and out of the bathroom and the facility for doctor visits. I would recommend this facility to any family in search of an assisted living facility."

"My aunt has moved to Abundantly Blessed Assisted Living. We like it because it's an assisted living facility in a home so it's small and very nice. It's new, I think they just started. I haven't tried it but my aunt likes the food there. I went there while she was eating, and I sat with her. It's more like a home so the meals are prepared for them. The residents are served 3 meals a day. They have an activity room with games, books, and pencils to color. They also have a backyard where they can go out on a deck. They are worth the money because of the care that she gets and the feedback that I get. I'm always comfortable whenever I go there. She is looking good and she's always fine."

"I moved Mom into New Horizon Assisted Living. They had availability, it was a small facility, and so I knew she would get individual attention, plus I already knew somebody who was a resident. The staff is very caring and very attentive. She is eating better and her appetite is so much better. They have some activities, but I'm not sure if she is able to participate in those activities. I like the fact that she has her own room, and they provide privacy. She has a television in her room."

"I toured Harmony at Waldorf. It's beautiful and expensive. I would love to live there if I could afford it. It was just great. It had so many things that you could do. The staff was fine. They do meals twice or three times a day, and you can have one free. They have a little sitting area where people go in the morning. They offer you free coffee and donuts. It was wonderful. I cannot possibly say anything bad about those people. It's very clean. They did have a little garden and a cookout area. They were nice, and they looked groomed."

"I toured Angel Living. The facility was nice and had a nice setup. The staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable, and showed me around everything. They had safety precautions on the doors."

"Having to choose a place for a family member to live their final stage of life is one of the hardest decisions to make. I researched/visited many assisted living centers in Maryland. My criteria was: high staff/resident ratio, kind and compassionate caregivers and staff, doctor/nurse available, three meals and snacks, low resident/room ratio, activities, reasonable fees and being able to visit and/or contact the facility. Arcadia met every single criterion! The caregivers, the nursing staff and the owner (Donna) are compassionate and caring! The monthly menu is awesome and the daily activities are so much fun. We are able to visit whenever we want and Donna and her staff are always just a phone call away. Arcadia is “home” and I am very aware of how blessed we are to have them taking care of Mom. Check out Arcadia’s website, their newsletter and call the owner, Donna! You will love her! Check out the pictures in the newsletter - the smiles on the residents’ faces tell the story of how truly happy they are. "

"We toured the facility and found it to be just like the pictures looked. Although I was unable to get my father into the facility due to financial issues with the state, I was extremely grateful for the assistance I received from the nurse, Ty. She was incredibly helpful in guiding us in the right direction and ensuring we had the answers we needed. I truly appreciated how transparent and knowledgeable she was. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone take the time to thoroughly answer all of the questions my wife and I had. What stood out the most was that, even knowing my father would not be able to join the facility, she still went above and beyond to help us. It was clear that she genuinely wanted what was best for us and to ensure we were well-informed in the next steps."

"Sunrise of Annapolis was absolutely beautiful. People were lovely and you couldn't ask for anything more in an assisted living. It was just very expensive. That's the only drawback. They have a barber/hair salon, activities, games, and a nice dining room."

"We had a very good tour of Celebration Villa of Manresa. The staff did a very good job and we appreciated it. She was very friendly, and the information she gave us was very good. The residents were very friendly. It just gave us a good impression overall. The layout of the apartment was good. It was an older building and maybe the outside could have used some help. There was some chipped paint and things like that. But overall, it looked very good."
