Our read on The Gardens Of Fairfax Health Care Center

The Gardens of Fairfax runs on thin staffing. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover tells the harder story: 68.8% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record is heavy, 47 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, plus 24 fines totaling $145,170. The most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the record is current. Corporate ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
