What is LifeCare by The Fairfax?

The Fairfax is pleased to offer residents the opportunity to plan ahead—for their home, their health and their finances. LifeCare provides the security of maintenance-free living complemented by the gracious amenities and programs at The Fairfax, access to on-site medical services and the ability to transition between care levels. It’s a residency plan in Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) for medically qualified residents who want the freedom of independent living with easy access to assisted living, long-term nursing and healthcare amenities—without large out-of-pocket expenses.

What are the benefits of LifeCare by The Fairfax?

The Fairfax already offers retirement living with a focus on a vibrant, independent lifestyle. And because care needs evolve over time, we also provide a continuum of services, including assisted living, short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing.

• Residents who qualify for the LifeCare program have the opportunity to save on their long-term care needs (assisted living and long-term nursing), based on the letter plan they locked in when they signed their residency agreement for independent living
• Up to a 30 day stay, every 90-day period in The Fairfax’s skilled nursing and/or assisted living neighborhoods, for times when additional care services are needed for a temporary time at no additional cost.*
• Residents may take advantage of US tax benefits that allow a portion of their monthly fees to be written off as a health deduction; during the first year of residence, a portion of any non-refundable initial entry fee may also be eligible as a tax benefit*
