Key Review Excerpts
“Fair Acres took my mom in and within 36 days my mother took her first steps!!! It was time to move now!!! Fair Acres had my mom out of bed every day she was not left to lay there like the 1st facility.”
“The compassion I received as my mom died and the attention she received in her last hours is something I'll never forget. I am truly grateful I chose Fair Acres.”
“My father-in-law was a patient of Faire Acres for over a decade! He had his money and clothing stolen a number of times. We believe it was the employee/s at Fair Acres.”

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
