Overview of Nans Pointe Rehabilitation and Nursing

The combination of care levels may suit a resident whose needs change over time or a family seeking short term support.

Overview of The Fairfax

The Fairfax is a 96-bed nursing home in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, right off Belvoir Woods Pkwy. It runs at 72% occupancy, 69 beds filled out of 96, and the average resident sticks around for about 55 days. That tells you this isn’t a place built only for long-haul stays. A lot of people come through for shorter, recovery-focused care.

You can pay your way in through Medicare or private pay, both options on the table here. That combination usually points to the kind of place someone lands after a hospital stay rather than a permanent move.

RN time clocks in at 30 minutes a day, which is on the lighter side, but LPN time is heavy at 2 hours and 13 minutes, and nurse aides add another 2 hours and 31 minutes. Add it up and residents get 4 hours and 38 minutes of total nursing care daily. That’s a staffing model leaning hard on LPNs and aides for hands-on, day-to-day care.

State inspectors tend to circle back to the same four areas here: emergency preparedness, staffing and credentials, hazardous-materials safety, and how well care planning gets documented. Those are standard categories any nursing home gets evaluated on, nothing facility-specific, just where the regulatory attention typically lands.

One more thing worth knowing if you’re planning visits: this is a car-dependent stretch of Fort Belvoir, Walk Score of 2. You’re driving here, full stop, no walking errands on the side.

Taken together, The Fairfax reads as a facility built around shorter recovery stays, with a staffing structure that puts most of the daily hands-on care in the hands of LPNs and aides rather than RNs.
