Chef-Crafted Meal

Dinner with fresh, seasonal cuisine and good company is the perfect end to Carol’s day.

I have been a Resident of The Fairfax at Belvoir Woods for the past five years. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a Retirement Community and qualify to consider making the transition to live here. It is now my home and I have found peace here. We have a wonderful caring staff to help us in any way that they can, and we have a great atmosphere in our day to day living. We have many activities to keep us in good shape in mind and body.”
