Both of my parents were residents here for over 3 years. We have been through management changes, staff changes, and the occasional equipment breakdown. Throughout it all, my parents were safe, well cared for, and happy. The residents were welcoming, asking each other to join the table at meals and my parents made new friends. The staff have become friends and as close as family. When my mother was on hospice services, the care staff came by every few hours to assist with her care or just to be present for her and for my dad. The kitchen staff would bring smoothies or other food they thought might appeal to my mom when she had no appetite. The health and wellness staff have always been quick to call me if they feel there are any changes or if they think my parents are looking or acting different than they normally do. Because of them, I was able to go to work comfortable in the knowledge I would be called if anything changed and further action was needed. After each of my parent's passing, the staff were there for support, sympathy and consolation. Fairwinds is an integral part of our family and I recommend them often as a great option for those looking for safe options for aging loved ones.
I cannot say enough good things about Fairwinds. Mom loved the staff and developed close friendships with many of them and with the nice residents too. The staff was so helpful to Mom and she frequently remarked about how all of them were so good to her. She did not want to live anywhere else. The level of empathy towards residents needs was just right. An exceptional experience for Mom and I highly recommend as adult child of one of their happiest residents. Much thanks to DL and Miss S.

As her health declined, the caregivers showed an unwavering commitment to making sure she felt safe and cherished every step of the way. The seamless collaboration between the Fairwinds team and hospice was nothing short of extraordinary.

Every smile, every reassuring touch, and every moment of care reflected their deep commitment to making this transition as gentle as possible.

The assisted living team is extraordinary, and I am deeply grateful for the kindness and devotion they showed my mother.
Fairwinds Assisted Living has been an excellent choice for my parents and it’s reassuring to know my parents are part of a caring and supportive community. The staff and management are incredibly flexible and accommodating, and their dedication truly stands out. The facility is well-run, and nearly every interaction we’ve had with the team has been positive and friendly. The food is quite good and the spaces are beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed. Most importantly, the residents—including my parents—appear genuinely happy with their environment and the care they receive. I highly recommend Fairwinds Assisted Living!
The Fairwinds Team has been extremely helpful and supportive throughout our aging parents stay. The Director and Head nurse have helped us navigate our increased care needs and the financial accomodations to help our parents age in a safe place. We love the facility and the accommodations/activities. The staff and new chef are always friendly and willing to listen to new ideas. Food is much improved we take our family to eat there. Wish I could move in myself!!
