What this means for your family

While Fair View has a strong reputation for compassionate end-of-life and palliative care, the most recent feedback is concerning. If you are considering this facility, I strongly recommend observing the staff-to-patient interaction during a visit and asking management specifically how they address response times for call buttons and patient assistance requests.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff here screams at there patients and tells them to "do it yourself" when needing help in the bathroom. They take forever when you push the help button.

Family member · 2026☆☆☆☆

My father spent 3 years there. They were so loving and made my father comfortable everyday of his last days there.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

My Grandmother loves this place. They treat her like family. She feared a nursing home. But they put all those fears to rest.
