I’m happy my son found Fairwinds for me. I enjoy the activities that Fairwinds organizes. I have made many new friends and we enjoy spending time together at meals and activities and card games or even hanging out in the lobby. The staff is helpful and friendly. Overall it’s a great place to be living but no where is perfect except heaven.

I have lived at Fairwinds for three years. I believe that there is not any better organization out there. The people who live here and the staff are great, for example PT. [Name removed] who works with us and helps us get back on our feet. [Name removed] who works hard to have things for us to do, like Bingo, Romeo luncheons. The girls in the dining room are friendly, loving, & caring. They bend over backward to make you fill good and are happy to serve. I would recommend to anyone who is retired to live here. They would not regret their decision.

I think this place is excellent, and that is from a man that has lived in two other places. This place is the best! One in California and one in New Mexico. I'm extremely happy with the surrounding food, hospitality and the cleanliness.

The staff at Fairwinds is great. When I brought my mother in, she was unable to walk and the aids there made sure that someone is with her and checking on her every hour. She enjoys the food and there's plenty of it to keep everyone satisfied. The other residents are really nice and friendly, they try their best to include everyone. The director is great at organizing different types of activities so everyone has something to do. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the staff forgets to check the fridges in the rooms. My mom went 10 days roughly with food in her fridge that hadn't been cleaned out. It is a bit expensive but you do get what you pay for and in this case, it's a lot. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking in this area because it's nice and clean, the smell is always nice and never overwhelming.

We toured this community for the care for my parents. We liked the staff and the care that is available. The menu looked appealing. We would of like this community, but we needed additional care. We would recommend this community for families to tour for the care of a loved one.

When I toured Fairwinds, my mother was under the weather not doing well, she was just out of the hospital. Fairwinds was under construction and it would have been too confusing with all of the stuff going on. Plus, the room that they showed us that was available was facing a spot that they were going to build a building. She would have been facing a building and we did not want that.

My grandfather is doing pretty well, we have had some ups and downs, but they're taking good care of him. They do a really good of keeping the facility clean. The thing that stood out the most was when my grandfather talked about how lonely he was, the staff right away started making sure he's meeting people and encouraging activities. They really pulled together as a team. The staff that works there really do care about their residents.

I was helping my friend find a place because she wasn't able to stay at home anymore. She has adjusted well to the community. She is doing well and seems happy here. This is a nice community and everything is working out well.

Those places are very expensive. They charged $19 a plate for Easter dinner for guests. I really like the place and they’re happy there. They are always doing something, field trips and exercises classes. The residents all really happy and interact with each other. I was really impressed with the physical therapy there. That was part of why we chose this community.
