I am so very thankful we found Fairforest Grove for Mother! It was such a difficult decision to make having to place her somewhere in the first place; but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I’ve not seen Mom this happy in a very long time. She is interacting with the other residents, making friends, and is actively involved in daily activities. The facility is maintained with the highest standards….no matter the time of day or night, it is always clean. I’ve saved the most important for last. The staff is the most amazing group of people I’ve meet. And I mean EVERYONE!…from the kitchen staff, maintenance, medical techs, caregivers to office staff. [name removed] should be very proud of her team. They truly care for our loved ones and care for them with such compassion. Mom and I absolutely adore each and every one of them!!! If I had to choose “A Place for Mom” again, I’d choose Fairforest each and every time!... Read more

I want to share my gratitude and appreciation for Fairforest Grove Senior Living and the incredible team that works there.My mother, has been living there as she navigates her journey with dementia.From the moment we chose this facility, I have felt reassured knowing she is surrounded by compassionate and skilled caregivers who prioritize her well-being and happiness. What sets Fairforest Grove apart is their commitment to providing not just care,but an environment where residents are stimulated and engaged. The variety of activities they offer is outstanding—each one designed to spark joy, promote interaction, and keep the mind active.It’s clear that the staff is dedicated to making everyday meaningful.I also want to express deep appreciation for the personalized care she receives. The staff takes time to understand each resident’s unique needs and preferences, which has made a world of difference for my mother’s comfort and sense of security. Their kindness and patience are unmatched

I am very pleased with Fairforest Grove. I would rate all categories a 5. The staff has been very caring with my mother and us too. There are numerous fun activities planned, both daily and weekly, for all levels of participation. The cost of this facility is very reasonable for the services provided.

What we like the most about Fairforest Grove is the friendly staff who appear to know our loved one and recognize us each time we visit; appears to be taking care of our loved one; cleanliness; different activities offered. Price went up which may be a challenge.

Their role in his hospice care was outstanding. The care they gave towards the end was instrumental in helping us accept the inevitable. The fact that they honored him on his wall of veterans and gave us his final portrait was very touching. It helped his grandchild (our kid) towards the end too.

After over a year I am still very happy with the care for my mother at FairForest. Mother wanted to be in Columbia, SC near her sister. This is too far away for me to be involved in Mothers care so I needed a place that I could rely on. Mother went in for Assisted Living but her dementia progressed and she needed to go into Memory Care. Everyone has been so nice and has taken great care of her. If she has any problems no matter how small, someone informs me. FairForest staff has taken great care of my Mother.

My family and I were fortunate a couple of years ago choosing Fairforest Grove Senior Living for our mother as she was needing extra care. They all have been so very caring and helpful with our mothers needs. A special shoutout to [name removed] and [name removed] who I feel very comfortable reaching out to with any questions or concerns. The staff is friendly and shares any concerns with me that come up. Mom is well taking care of and very happy with the day to day operations such as the food and activities. We feel blessed to have chosen such a wonderful place for mom.

I have been residing here at Fairforest Grove Senior Living for 6 months. The environment, quality of living and care are excellent. Meals are always done on time. The cleaning is like clock work daily; never missed. Medication is distributed every day in a timely manner. The Activity Director provides games and other events that are fun and relaxing. The staff are very courteous, friendly and professional.

We personally visited 9 assisted living facilities. My visit to Fairforest was unannounced and I was given the royal treatment by way of an interview with [name removed] and a tour of the facility. I was impressed with how neat and tidy everything was and this a random visit. But it was the staff who sold me. Everyone was friendly and seemed very happy to be there. There have been 2 incidents with our relative that have required special attention. These could not have been handled more competently and professionally. Afterwards I was able to discuss the situation with [name removed]- who helped diffuse the situation. It was comforting to see her her concern and compassion. I could go on but Fairforest has been the tight choice. The team and facility are top shelf.

I love it here. The management and caregivers are friendly and responsive and the grounds and facility are clean and attractive! The food is good and the Activities Director is a real professional . There is a large lake behind the facility with ducks, fish and other wildlife. I saw an otter catch a fish! There is a paved nature walk around the lake. I enjoy feeding the squirrels peanuts and I beep my horn a certain way and they come running, all 15 of them! New management took over in 2022 and it has made all the difference in the world!

A year ago my Mother finally acknowledged that she needed help. This is when the search began for an Assisted Living facility. My cousin became involved and helped to find a facility, he found “A Place for Mom” first. A list was created of suitable places and Fairforest Grove Senior Living was on that list. This place has been a godsend. The staff has been so nice and helpful. My Mother has memory problems and they have been great in handling her. People with memory problems can be very head strong at times and the staff has been great. After my Mother had been at Fairforest for 8 months, she told my cousin, that she was in the right place. So Fairforest has been good for my Mother and for me, don’t know what I would have done without them last year or the years to come.

When you can't care for a parent, you want to make sure they will be cared or properly, and safe. Me mom has been at Fairforest Grove for a year now. I visit regularly, and have never experienced a problem. Mom is always happy. She gets the help she needs to dress, bathe, eat her meals, and spend time in the day room with other residents. I recommend Fairforest Grove if you need a place to help care for your loved one.

Fairforest Senior Living is an excellent assisted living facility. Management and caregivers are friendly and responsive, the food is good and the the grounds and building are clean, attractive and bug free. Maintenance and Housekeeping are excellent. It has not always been this way. Over a year ago the facility was purchased and new management was installed. The improvements have been impressive! I have been here four years and in the past I almost left several times. Now I wouldn't think about changing facilities.

My mother has lived at Fairforest Grove Senior Living for a few years now and is well taken care of. She enjoys the staff and the care she receives daily. They have daily activities (Bingo is her favorite) and always stop by to remind her when it’s time. The head nurse on staff ([name removed] ) is absolutely wonderful and is always available for my questions. Can’t say enough good things about Fairforest. If you are looking for a place to help you with the care of a loved one look no further.

My loved one is a resident at Fairforest Grove Senior Living. We moved him here from another facility, he's been here for awhile now and the experience has been good. His room is always clean. He enjoys sitting in the TV area and he appears to be well kept. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The food is okay. The staff is great, also.

Pros: The staff of caretakers are extremely friendly at memory care. Cons: I think they could improve on the cleanliness in individual residents rooms. Overall, I would recommend Fairforest Grove to others looking.
