Key Review Excerpts

“My husband has dementia and is housed on the fourth floor. He receives wonderful care. The staff is loving and kind to both my husband and my family when we visit. His caregiver, Marvalee, is like an angel.”

Memory care family member · 2022★★★★★

“The facility is old and was run down, but it had a high staff to patient ratio and care was good. Then it sold and it is now awful. My mother would go a week without a shower, she would essentially be taken out of bed, put in her wheel chair and left there all day.”

Long-term resident's family · 2023★☆☆☆☆

“The recreation department at Fairfax has been doing incredible things under the leadership of Nadia. She is knowledgeable about the importance of engaging residents with fun and new activities, to give them the quality of life experiences that they deserve.”
