The Virginian Opens New Assisted Living Wing

November 28, 2023

FAIRFAX, VA — The Virginian has opened the second phase of its community as part of a $67 million renovation as it undergoes a comprehensive transformation set to debut late this year.

The renovated seven-story, 367,000-square-foot buildings will feature four wings, comprising 155 independent-living apartments, 56 assisted-living residences, and 36 memory-care units/38 beds, along with 53 skilled-nursing units/81 beds. Nestled on more than 32 wooded acres along the Accotink Creek of the Potomac River, The Virginian is surrounded by green space, offering a genuine urban-suburban setting.  

The Virginian offers independent living, new assisted living, and the Shenandoah Memory Care, which opened last year.  As part of its continuing-care options, The Virginian also offers skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation through a partnership with The Virginian Rehabilitation and Wellness, for which it was designated Best Nursing Homes by US News and World Report 2022-23.

The Virginian is a senior living rental community offering a comprehensive continuum of care in this city 20 miles west of Washington, D.C. Set for completion at the end of this year, the community is undergoing a transformation into new, luxury independent-living apartment homes, providing a holistic range of care services including assisted living, memory care, long-term nursing, and skilled nursing. The new features encompass high-end amenities and innovative programs, including six dining venues, a wine cellar, sports bar, indoor golf simulator, state-of-the-art theaters, entertainment venues, three full-service salons, technology areas, and a wellness spa. Outdoor offerings include pickleball, bocce ball, a putting green, ‘Central Bark’ dog park, and a fire pit area.
