The village itself has two assisted living facilities for residents who require special accommodations. There are also 14 additional facilities located nearby in Syracuse and other towns. The state of New York, including Fayetteville, licenses and regulates these facilities under their official designation as Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) through the state's Department of Health.

The average low temperature in January is 15 degrees, and the village gets an average of 105 inches of snow per year which is 77 inches above the national average of 28.
