You can here noises from floor to floor, that is my only issue. The staff is very nice. I have not participated in too many activities. Overall, it's a pretty good community.

We chose Fairwinds because they had a nice apartment available with a good view and it was also a good value for the money. They also provide assisted care in the apartments. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and engaging with the residents. I would recommend to others looking.

It's a pretty nice community and we feel we are very lucky to be here. The food is excellent and there is a lot of variety. Our whole day resolves around the meals. The staff are just wonderful. We are supposed to get weekly housekeeping, but we don't always and when we do it's very light.

Fairwinds was my first choice when I was looking for a home for my mom to go to. I ultimately chose a different community, but at no fault to Fairwinds. Their grounds are beautiful and it's specialized for independent living and assisted living. The only reason I didn't go with this community is because my mom will eventually need memory care, which is something they unfortunately don't offer.

Fairwinds - Desert Point is a really nice community. The staff was very friendly and were helpful in answering the questions that we had. We chose another community that would have units that did not have any stovetops in them. We wanted our loved one to have full meal service so that she would get the proper nourishment.

We like everything about this community. My husband has been fine since he moved into the assisted living part of the community. We have no complaints. It is very clean in and out and the staff have shown to be attentive with my husband.

It all came down to location and price but I had a good tour of Fairwinds. The tour guide did a very good job in giving me information and answering my questions, Everyone there was friendly in the facility itself was very clean and in good shape.

This seemed like a nice clean community when we visited. The person that took us on tour was nice. This community allows pets and has a pool. This community did not offer memory care so it would not work for us.

March 20, 2017Thank you for taking the time to tour our community. We appreciate the positive feedback and look forward to the opportunity of serving you in the future! Scott Haile, General Manager
My mom seems to be very comfortable and happy in her new living environment. She has enjoyed the healthy well balanced food that that the chef prepares as well as the company of the other residents during meal times. My mom has also slowly started to participate in the many activities and events the staff put on for them throughout the week to help keep them entertained and busy. We are very pleased with the outcome of her move so far and hope it continues to go this smooth.

Out of all of the different communities my wife and I had visited this one was by far the best. All of the staff was friendly and very welcoming with lots of useful information of there establishment. All of the bedrooms where very spacious with lots of bright lights throughout the rooms. The dinning hall and all other common areas where also outstanding. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone looking into retirement.

I met with [Removed]. She was not expecting me. She was very gracious. Saw two one bedroom apartments in both phase 1 and phase 2. Two bedrooms were quoted but prices were very high.

Extremely friendly and helpful administration. Stacy met us on time and talked with us about the situation. It's a clean environment with lots of socialization. Independent and assisted living are intermingled. Sit separate areas. Drawback: Very, very small apartments. Only had two available. Not a big turnover so being on a wait list is common. The one, ground floor, apartment looked out to the main entrance parking lot and was next to a stairwell. Not acceptable to mom. Other was overlooking parking lot with full trees. Not bad, but there was no balcony so no outside patio leisure. Room was still too small even though it was a one bedroom with additional living room. Minimal kitchen utilities. No dishwashers nor oven. Two burner stovetop. Small fridge. No coat closet. Storage was minimal. Small bathroom.

Things are good at Fairwinds. Everybody here is wonderful. The food is good.They offer a wide variety of activities such as bingo, informative speakers and educational classes, however I think they need more card games.
