The Providence Fairfax

Life is a journey. Sometimes the journey presents difficult circumstances that require help from others to successfully navigate those circumstances. After touring multiple assisted living communities we knew immediately that The Providence Fairfax was where we wanted our family to live and prosper. Not only is the community (decor, rooms, activities, lovely areas to sit and enjoy others/books, restaurants, food, bar - yes a bar, etc) fantastic what really sets The Providence Fairfax apart is their people. In addition to the amazing staff across all disciplines (you know who you are and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts) the residents and the volunteer resident ambassadors are all so kind, helpful and welcoming. The culture at The Providence Fairfax is healthy, happy and nourishing. If you are considering this type of community for your family, look no further you won't regret it. Welcome Home!

Very nice facility with very friendly staff. The restaurant inside looks great and there is a rooftop area that can be used but is secure for safety. I would recommend staying here if you want a nice area with nice people and easy access to the metro. It is not within reasonable walking distance to any grocery store or convenience store though

Our mom moved to the Providence in the winter (2025) after having toured multiple assisted living and memory care residences. We chose The Providence because the facility is lovely, the apartments are comfortable and bright, there are numerous activities offered daily, the pricing includes medication distribution (many places charge additional fees which can amount to an additional $1,000/month or more), and the dining room food is quite tasty. Since our mom has lived at the Providence for several months, we discovered The Providence’s absolute best feature: its STAFF!! The Providence administration does an amazing job hiring the most caring, patient, and friendly staff we have ever encountered. Everyone including the dining room servers, nursing assistants, nurses and medication techs, the folks coordinating and running the many activities, the front desk staff, and the building maintenance team, takes the time to get to know each resident’s personality, interests, families, and things about their lives from when they were younger. Our mom’s adjustment to assisted living was difficult at first, but the administrative team worked with our family to come up with several creative solutions that have helped our mom feel more comfortable.

My 98-year-old mother recently moved into The Providence in Fairfax, and we couldn't be happier. The staff made the move incredibly smooth and have been going out of their way to make her feel at home. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and in a perfect location next to the Metro. Parking in the underground garage is easy and convenient. The food is top notch, and both the nursing and maintenance teams are professional, kind, and attentive. There are also plenty of activities to keep residents engaged and social. We’re so grateful for the care and support she’s receiving.

Both my parents moved in together this year to the Providence. The staff made the process of moving in very easy. They were very helpful. My family has been very happy with the care my parents are receiving. I recommend the Providence to folks whenever I have an opportunity.

It is an honor and a privilege to document what the Providence of Fairfax community has brought to my life. I arrived here after a debilitating illness made living by myself impossible. Thanks to the fantastic efforts of Lena Dingle, my daughters were able to arrange a direct move in from the health care system. I have been growing in mind, body, and spirit ever since. The staff, members, and facilities of Providence has given me a new lease on life.i

I recently had a tour of the Providence and had a wonderful visit. I met with their executive director who had a very calming demeanor to him. He took me around the community and while doing so, he made sure he said hello to every staff member and resident. They all were so excited to talk to him. You could tell each person has a wonderful connection with him. Was great to see as I have toured many other communities and you simply just don't see this type of interactions. Thanks for a wonderful visit!

My mom has been at the Providence Fairfax for a little over a month and I can’t say enough great things about this facility. The staff are caring and work hard to do their best for each resident. I feel very fortunate to have found this caring community for my mom.

Had the worst meal of my 72 year life, living in many states and on three continents, at the Providence Great Falls Restaurant in Fairfax, VA. I'd attended a sales and marketing presentation on April 19th and won a $50 voucher for a meal at their Great Falls Restaurant for residents. Today a senior friend and I went there for lunch. For $50 we got a 1/4 ounce spinach "salad" and a main course cup of salty, watery broth of a substance containing some mushed vegetables and an unrecognizable grey substance advertised as "creamy shrimp, seafood and vegetable stew." There were no shrimp or recognizable seafood and the entire cup of broth tasted like salt, lots and lots of salt. This was the most miserable and unhealthy meal either my friend or I have experienced in our long lives. Give a thumbs down for living here and eating this unhealthy meal plan food which left us both hungry and thirsty.
