There are two nursing homes in Fairfax, Virginia, which at least gives you a few choices. This city's nursing homes were awarded a respectable city grade of B-. This is just about average by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. The best part of this city's profile is its nursing homes' exemplary short-term care scores. Short-term care grades are discussed in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, the nursing homes in Fairfax performed spectacularly well in short-term care. In fact, Fairfax received one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Short-term care ratings this high are a great sign for the levels of physical and occupational therapy staffing at the nursing homes in the city. The city received a B in the area of nursing. Rounding out its profile, we awarded the city grades of B and D for our inspections and long-term care categories respectively. Clearly, this city's long-term care score really dragged down its overall grade.
