ICARE Homes Assisted Living & Memory Care Services

Nestled in a quiet residential setting at 3130 Barbara Lane, ICARE Homes Assisted Living & Memory Care Services offers Northern Virginia families a small, intimate environment where individualized attention is the standard rather than the exception. Located in Fairfax's 22031 zip code — the Merrifield corridor — residents enjoy proximity to the best the region has to offer while living in a calm, home-like atmosphere. ICARE Homes provides two core levels of care: assisted living for seniors who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, and memory care for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. The memory care program is built around structured routines, sensory engagement, and compassionate redirection — approaches that research consistently shows reduce anxiety and support cognitive well-being. Staff are trained to build genuine relationships with each resident, learning personal histories, preferences, and the small details that make daily life feel meaningful. The Fairfax location is a meaningful advantage for families and residents alike. Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, one of the region's premier health systems, is just minutes away, providing peace of mind for families who want their loved one close to top-tier medical care. The nearby Mosaic District in Merrifield offers vibrant dining and shopping — from local restaurants to familiar favorites — making family visits easy and enjoyable. Vienna and the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro station are close by, giving family members who commute convenient access. Lake Accotink Park and the W&OD Trail corridor provide scenic outdoor spaces that staff can incorporate into resident outings and fresh-air walks. Fairfax consistently ranks as one of the safest and most livable communities in Virginia, with strong healthcare infrastructure, well-maintained roads, and a diverse, welcoming population. For families searching for assisted living or memory care in Northern Virginia, ICARE Homes delivers the rare combination of intimate, relationship-based care in a location that keeps residents connected to the broader community they have called home.
