Michelle was amazing to work with, she went above and beyond in every way. I cannot adequately express my gratitude. Mom did not go to the facility and we needed to remain in NY. Once mom improves and if where she currently is living does not work out this is the place for her. Facility is new, clean and feels like a place I would want to live and where mom would be supported.

Manchester Lakes was a nice community, but I don't think it's a good fit for my grandmother. The staff was very professional, friendly, and well mannered. Everything was pretty good. They had a library and an exercise/fitness facility.

We're going to go to The Fairfax Fort. We were impressed with the grounds and the security features in the concierge desks, and all the staff members seemed very polite and friendly. Those were the things that immediately made my mother feel at home. As regards the interaction now that we're going through all the paperwork to get my mother to actually move in, everyone has been very efficient and very responsive, and so far, the process has been very smooth.

We visited a friend at Greenspring. We liked it, but we thought for our purposes, it would have been too big. The buildings were well maintained, though, the spaces were very clean, and the staff was friendly. I think it seemed to be a well-run organization, and my friend liked it a lot. It had good security, and it was gated. You have to present proof that you're visiting somebody, so that was good, and parking was easy, too. The building seemed clean, light, and nicely decorated. I had dinner with my friend, and the food was good. The staff was very friendly, very courteous, and respectful, and they interacted nicely with the residents as well.

I'm living in Greenspring. It has been fine. They have a lot of amenities and activities. They have a lot of Bible classes, history classes, hobby classes, and hobby get-togethers. Before COVID, it had been an active community. The food is probably the weakest link. We have two sit-down restaurants and a buffet restaurant, and then we have a snack bar and a lunch place. We get one meal a day.

My stepson moved into Spring Hills Mount Vernon. The physical appearance is good. It's like the shape of an old manor, but it's nice. The inside is clean, the carpeting is probably a little outdated, but it's fine, there's nothing wrong with it. The rooms are all clean. We're satisfied with just about everything. I think the staff is receptive, helpful, and professional. They're good with my stepson, so far. Communication is difficult with COVID. I think they need to designate one person for a family, and we had that for a while, but then she left. So, them having to appoint a contact to help you with paperwork and things like that would be helpful.

I had a family member who was in the memory care unit for Alzheimer\'s and every time I visited them, I left feeling sad and shocked. While there are a few select staff who genuinely wanting to be there and help the residents, a majority were just plain rude and should not be working with elderly- not nice to residents. The place was also dirty. I do not recommend leaving your family member at this facility, especially for the monthly costs.
Map of Fairfax County, Virginia
Assisted Living Costs in Fairfax County
In Fairfax County, the average cost of assisted living is $5,000 per month. This is $1,000 higher than the national average ($4,000) and more than $500 above Virginia’s state average ($4,451). In Richmond, the average cost of assisted living is slightly more expensive at $5,048 per month. In all other major cities in the state, the price is at least several hundred dollars less. Seniors in Virginia who are on a tight budget may want to consider assisted living options in cities such as Lynchburg ($3,695) or Harrisonburg ($4,100) where the cost is substantially less.
Note: Senior care cost data wasn’t available for Fairfax County, so data for the nearest major city, Washington, D.C., was used in its place.
Care Cost Comparison
Senior care costs differ depending on the type of care required, and this is particularly true in Fairfax County. While home care services and assisted living average between $4,290 and $5,000 per month, the cost of nursing home care is more than $5,500 higher at an average of $10,539. When budgeting for senior care, it’s important to keep in mind that the cost of assisted living and nursing home care typically includes room and board, but seniors who choose to receive care at home still have to pay housing expenses, such as rent and utilities.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Fairfax County
Medicaid in Virginia
Medical Assistance, the Virginia Medicaid program, is administered by the Department of Medical Assistance Services. MA covers a variety of health care costs for low-income residents, including elderly and disabled persons. Some of the services covered by the state MA plan include behavioral health care, dental care, prescription medications and primary care.
To qualify for MA as an elderly person, applicants must be aged 65 or older and meet the following financial requirements:
- Single applicants are allowed a maximum income of $832.66 per month and up to $2,000 in countable assets
- Spouses applying together are allowed a maximum income of $1,127.33 per month and up to $3,000 in countable assets
MA considers income from all sources. Some assets are exempt, including the applicant’s home, car and personal belongings.
Seniors can apply for MA online or call Cover Virginia at (855) 242-8282 for information and assistance.
Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus Waiver
The CCC Plus waiver provides eligible elderly and disabled adults with all-inclusive coverage for community-based long-term care services and supports, medical care, nursing care and behavioral health services. Approved applicants work with one of six managed care organizations to have their needs assessed and receive coordinated services. Enrollment in the waiver program is mandatory for all eligible Virginia residents.
To qualify for the CCC Plus program as an elderly person, Fairfax County residents must be aged 65 or older, MA-eligible, have an income limit of $2,313 and asset limit of $2,000 (per individual) and be assessed as requiring the level of care normally provided in a nursing home facility.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living
Auxiliary Grants
The state of Virginia offers an Auxiliary Grant program to aid seniors who reside in assisted living settings. In order to qualify, seniors must already live in a participating assisted living facility. The AG may cover a range of benefits including:
- Room and board
- Assistance with activities of daily living
- Medication assistance
- Toiletries, such as soap and toilet paper
- Assistance with financial management, appointment scheduling and personal errands
- Transport to and from medical appointments

Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit
The VA Aid and Attendance benefit program is available to veterans and their surviving spouses who require long-term care, whether they reside at home or in a care facility. Approved applicants receive an additional monthly benefit on top of their regular VA pension check.
Seniors who already receive a VA disability pension aren’t eligible for the A&A program. Other applicants must be an honorably disabled wartime veteran or their surviving spouse and be disabled in one of the following ways:
- Need regular assistance with more than one activity of daily living, such as eating, dressing, bathing or toileting
