Fairview Gracious Retirement

I moved in at Fairview Estates Gracious Retirement Living in October. The food here is not great quality. The facilities are very nice, and the place is very clean. They have a courtyard, a salon, an activity room, and an exercise room.

Fairview Estates Gracious Retirement Living was excellent. The tour was wonderful. We got a lot of information. It's very lovely, well cared for, very clean, and immaculate. The people that live there seem to be very happy. The staff members were wonderful. They were so kind and helpful. They even moved my car because I parked in the wrong place. The woman that gave us the tour was kind enough to go out and move the car for me. They were very accommodating. There couldn't have been more so. The apartments that we saw were large. The only thing I would say is they didn't have a full kitchen. They have like a kitchenette. There was a refrigerator, but no stove. They offer you all your meals there, so you don't need to cook for yourself. The apartments were large. We looked at a 2-bedroom one, and it was much larger than I expected. The staff was very patient. The facility was wonderful.

My parents are moving into the Fairview Estates Gracious Retirement Living. It was the most affordable with the VA benefits. They had everything that they needed, people to come in and help them with the food, and cleaning. The others were more expensive. The people are wonderful, they're helping with everything that we need, they even gave my parents vaccines, they've been very, very helpful. The apartments are beautiful, they have a balcony, they have a washroom right across the hall, they have a beautiful dining room, they have a movie theater in there, so many different things that they do for them, different game nights, bingo nights, and all kinds of things that they can get entertainment and be with other people. It's brand new, I think it's only four years old. The staff come in weekly, they'll be doing housework for them, they're changing the linen, all that's included, they don't have to do any of that which is really good for my mom especially, 'cause she's doing it all now, and it's too much for her. I have no complaints, I think anybody would love to be there. I know they have a chef, and they do different things every night, the main meal is the lunch meal, the biggest meal, then dinner and breakfast, and if they wanna eat in their room, they can have it brought to their room, they don't have to come out, they're very accommodating, which I thought was nice.

Fairview is an adequate place to live. It offers some activities, a shuttle that has designated days for different destinations (doctors, shops) within a limited radius, but it has a serious problem with food service. The quality of the food is very uneven and it has a difficult time holding on to staff.

Fairview Estates Gracious Retirement Living was very clean and the manager lives on the premises. They have cars that take you to appointments and buses which they use for shopping. They have craft classes, raised beds so you could have your own garden, patios, places where you can walk, parking for cars, laundry rooms, computer rooms, and theaters.

Fairview Estates' rooms were very nice and adequate. They had a kitchenette, living room, and bedroom. The place was brand new.
