“Excellent choice for my mom as she struggles with delining memory and physical agility. Staff is super attentive and friendly. Everyone seems to know my mom's nam, even the front desk receptionist! Meals are tasty and varied with choices available if you don't like the meal. Recreation is creative in their approach to physical and cognitive stimulation with activities daily. I really can't think…”

“I do private care here. The campus seems nice. The apartments I have seen are nicely done and privately owned, but Fairview offers a number of amenities, including maintenance, housekeeping, etc. There may be a cost, but it is convenient. If you need new appliances, ex, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave, it is replaced by Fairview.”

★★★★★Wendy Gaudette · 2022-05-04 · via Google

“Our mom was rehabbing here after she broke her hip. The staff was amazing! So very kind and attentive to all of us! Upon arrival, Our mom was very disoriented due to surgery, Parkinson’s and dementia. The staff was so kind to let myself or one of my 2 sisters stay with mom each night and all day long. Her room was clean and contained everything we needed for her 2 weeks stay. The food was awesome …”
