Quality care at every stage in Fairfax, VA
At The Virginian, our Shenandoah Memory Care Community is a secure, thoughtfully designed setting for those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. With newly renovated spaces—recognized with a Gold award by Environments for Aging—we offer a supportive environment built for comfort, safety, and daily connection.
Why The Virginian?
We support residents through the Cogir-exclusive Revere Memory Care Program—an approach built on connection, comfort, and meaningful engagement. Using relationship-based care and sensory experiences, we create daily routines and activities that help residents stay engaged and live with purpose.

Our apartments are beautifully designed to ease independent navigation, ensuring residents can move safely and confidently. Our spacious common areas foster social interaction and community building, providing ample space for relaxation and engagement.
Therapeutic design
Our memory care neighborhood is thoughtfully designed to create a calm, therapeutic environment with natural light, sensory elements, and personalized touches that support comfort and daily confidence. Residents also enjoy dedicated spaces for connection and engagement, including a Reminiscence Lounge, Sensory Lounge, and secure outdoor courtyard—all with access to the full amenities of our continuum of care community.
High touch-high tech
We combine compassionate support with a “high touch, high tech” approach designed to bring comfort, engagement, and peace of mind to everyday. Through our Nana Technology, we use circadian lighting to support more peaceful days and restful nights and help reduce the effects of sundowning, along with OBIE—an award-winning, motion-activated gaming system created to encourage cognitive stimulation, movement, and fun.
