We had a great tour experience with Fairwinds - Sandcreek. We liked their facility also, it was just a little bigger than my mom was comfortable with. Their staff was very friendly and the residents seemed busy and happy. They were very helpful and answered all of our questions, even some we didn't know we had.
We had a very very positive tour experience with Fairwinds - Sandcreek. I had a very hard time choosing a facility because they were all equally great.
Our loved one already had friends living there which was a huge thing that our loved one was able to feel at home that way. The staff members really work with each residents individually. Our loved one is always kept busy with all the different activities. It really is a kind community and based on our families experience so far we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

The staff were friendly and nice. The community was more expensive and didn't have a warm feeling to it.
I would say to look at this community before you make a decision on any other community. The have activities like sing a longs, puzzle days, book reading, bingo and more for the residents to stay busy in the community. The staff are generally wonderful.

The Fairwinds facility itself is very nice, we were able to tour of our loved ones apartment before moving it and we were very taken away by it. The value for the money is completely worth it. The staff are also very friendly.

They always have some type of activity going on for the residents. My mom loves it at this community. Everyone is nice and this is the best place that I found in town after looking around at other communities. They have activities like bingo, drives up to the mountains when the weather was nice before the snow started and more for the residents to do to stay busy. They have movies and more for the residents and even if she only shows up they will still show the movie.

This community was very nice but the reason we went with another community is because we spoke with another community and they stated that there was a resident that would relate greatly with my loved one. When we heard this we knew that this would be a perfect fit for my loved one.
Too big, and not the right fit for my loved one.
The food is great. The service is good. It's a homey experience. The cost is pretty up there. But it's a good place for my loved one, and he is well taken care of here.

This community is very nice and the food is great. The staff is great and is very friendly. The community does not have a memory care unit so unfortunately, it didn't fit our needs.
I would recommend the community to others for their ones. I think they have taken good care of my friend. The staff call to keep us updated. The food has been pretty good. We have been able to visit our friend during meal time.

It was fine there for my mom and we didn't really have any problems with them. The caregivers were mediocre. For us, it comes down to the lack of skilled nursing care, and no registered nurses 24 hours a day. It seemed like there was always a high staff turnover and that seemed especially hard for my mom. The food started out really good and then the chef changed and if was hard for her to eat with her strict diet. They offered daily specials and the desserts were really good.

During the days that I was looking for a situation for my husband and myself, I looked at a number of places that offered various levels of service and care. When I came to Fairwinds, It felt like home and the place we needed to be. The Staff has been most accommodating, helpful and friendly. The community feels like family and we feel very comfortable here. We feel blessed to be in such a nice, safe environment.

If you can't be at home anymore then Fairwinds/Sandcreek is the place to be. Both the residents and staff are friendly like one big happy family. The food here is very good and a lot of work is put forth to make it that way.
