What this means for your family
While the facility is physically beautiful and has a strong reputation for initial transition support, the recent surge in negative reports regarding memory care is concerning. We strongly advise families to conduct unannounced visits and specifically ask for current staffing ratios and the facility's protocol for notifying families of health emergencies.

Key Review Excerpts
“My husband has lived at Fairwood Village in memory care for almost five years. I go quite often to visit him and have always found the caregivers and staff to be supportive of me while taking very good care of him.”
“My grandmother in memory care also passed away alone, they found her and sent a email to one family member, a email! We did not find out for hours.”
“Don’t be fooled by the pretty decor—this place is severely understaffed with constant turnover. My mother has had multiple UTIs due to poor hygiene care.”
