Key Review Excerpts

My mother had an excellent experience while living at Fairwinds for over three years. She enjoyed her time there with the residents, getting reacquainted with some old friends, making new friends and enjoyed interacting with the staff, especially the Wellness Team who took excellent care of her needs.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The team at Fairwinds has such a heart for seniors and their families. I have worked in the industry for many years and truly see the five star level of care, compassion and fun they have at their community!

Industry professional · 2023★★★★★

The facility is very nice, as well as the residents. The one thing I believe needs improvement is in the dining room. The food is average, very often cold, and the service is very slow.
