What this means for your family
Fair Meadow offers a clean and welcoming environment with a staff that many find professional. However, because there have been reports of lapses in basic daily care, we strongly advise families to conduct unannounced visits and monitor the quality of daily assistance provided to their loved ones.

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is immaculate and the staff is very caring and conscientious.”
“It's an excellent nursing home, but they stopped using the theater during Covid. The staff is helpful and friendly, but I think the food is somewhat lackluster.”
“The county was paying for services that wasn't provided to mom. Like help with dressing and help with cares. I had taken her to a Dr. Appointment and mom hat no shirt on under her coat and her bra was up.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History

This facility shows persistent fire safety and infection control problems across multiple surveys, with one complaint prompting a citation for inadequate investigation of alleged violations. The most recurring issues involve fire safety systems (sprinkler maintenance, smoke barriers, emergency procedures), infection control, and accident prevention. While all deficiencies were reportedly corrected, the pattern of repeated violations in fire safety suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that families should inquire about during visits.
