LifeCare Program: Planning for the Future
Find Stability and Peace of Mind
While it’s hard to foresee your future healthcare needs, our LifeCare plan can help you gain some predictability—both with your care and finances.
LifeCare offers you an unlimited amount of additional care at nearly the same monthly fee you would pay if you had remained in your apartment—saving you money and allowing you to live carefree knowing your future medical costs won’t cause a major change in your finances down the road.
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, memory care, and long-term nursing.
- By selecting a LifeCare plan, you can remain at The Fairfax and receive support with our continuum of care, including assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.
- With the LifeCare Type A contract, you are guaranteed a below-market rate with all-inclusive services—giving you peace of mind with the predictability of future costs as your long-term care needs change.
- Residents may take advantage of U.S. tax benefits that allow a portion of their monthly fees and non-refundable entry fee to be written off as a health deduction.*
How does LifeCare work financially?
LifeCare at The Fairfax consists of two components: an entrance fee and a monthly fee.
- 90% refundable entrance fee: Your monthly care fee may vary, but it will always be less than market value.

The monthly fee includes a variety of services, including:
- One meal per day
- Property taxes, electricity, water, and sewer bills
