The Providence Fairfax

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.

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

Having worked at The Providence of Fairfax for a year now as a Community Life Assistant, I can say it’s a great place for both potential employees and residents. If you’re seeking a rewarding job, you’ll find a supportive and fulfilling work environment here. If you’re looking for a place to live for yourself or a loved one, you’ll be offered a welcoming and comfortable community. I highly recommend scheduling a tour to see for yourself.

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.

The facility and the staff are amazing. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure residents are comfortable and happy. Someone is always available to provide help or assistance to residents and their families. There are on site activities for residents daily. The food is great and includes daily specials.

I feel very fortunate, indeed that I found this place with my daughters. my needs are really more than just met. It’s a wonderful organization. The people who are working here are devoted and very smart and they think of things that I didn’t even imagine yet and there’s always a surprise but there’s also the steady caring and I couldn’t be happier in this place. There’s always something to choose. It’s not just one thing for everybody and now it’s the Christmas season and they’re doing their best to keep the place Bright and happy and I’m appreciative.

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!

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.
