We visited Fairwinds Sand Creek and it was very nice. They have nice apartments that are more updated. The biggest problem was that the medical staff wasn't there at night; they're only there during the day. We saw the dining area, although we didn't get an opportunity to eat there. They have amenities like physical therapy.

Fairwinds is great. Their price is reasonable. My aunt has a lot of room there. Her room is big and spacious. The staff is excellent. They're very good. I think they're doing an excellent job. They have a licensed restaurant and a good menu. For activities, they have shuffleboard, pool, movies, and Bingo. They have a theater room too. They go in there to watch movies and have some popcorn.

Fairwinds is very lovely, very upscale, it's very expensive, and only accepts private pay. They organize tours for people, they have bus activities, and they even have a concierge. They invited us to their monthly dinner, which included prime rib and wine.

I had an excellent visit at Fairwinds. The staff was extremely helpful. In fact, my mother had not lived there yet, but they invited her over for activities and meals. It was clean, and they were remodeling. It was great. When I choose a place, it would very likely be that one.

When first walking around the facility you think wow this place is amazing ..
My mother has been there for almost 2 yrs her health has declined a bit as well as the help . They have not been very helpful with my mother or our family , anytime you ring a call button it's a mark againgst you which is put into a file to many marks and your rent is raised a ridiculous amount or you will eventually be .Kicked out .. There is not enouph assistance at night and aids are poorly trained. I've been called by my mother numerous times and have had to go over there at 11 at night and help her get ready for bed because the aids would not come assist..
My mother has MS so her health fluctuates they don't seem to care or be compassionate in working with her when she has a bad week. They just want more money for how much the facility costs I would consider looking elsewhere first, I would have hoped and excepted better care for the price..

We thought Fairwinds was good. It was a clean, nice place. The staff was helpful. She showed us around, and told us everything we needed to know. The apartments were very nice. We saw the dining room, and it was nice.

Fairwinds is a very nice place; it’s not up to the level of my friend's list, but it’s very nice, with a nice looking entry, and the rooms look good. All the food was good, and you had many choices; it wasn’t like a school cafeteria.

Fairwinds seemed very nice. They just didn’t have the nursing care that we felt he needed. It was quite luxurious except that the rooms were tiny. It was also expensive. From what I saw it was clean. The tour guide and the administrator seemed friendly and accommodating. If it was more of a senior living facility, it would have been quite nice. If they needed more medical attention, I would not feel good.

Fairwinds - Sand Creek is a very nice place. They won my brother over with the food, and the marketing director befriended him, brought him to Fairwinds to attend a Valentine's party and got to know him. He became very personable with him, and so my brother felt like he had a friend before he even moved in. His room wasn't the fanciest I've been to, but it's very comfortable. His room is bigger than the place he stayed at for a couple of months. They had socials, and they've taken them to shopping and to field trips. They had an open house and they had a lot of good food there. They always have good food, and he absolutely loves their salads. Pricing is average.

I have been with Fairwinds - Sand Creek for six years now. We have all kinds of activities, but I do not really participate in those. I have my own computer which keeps me busy every day, but they play bingo, Pinochle, bridge, Wii, and pool. This is an extra-large community. We have three floors and a courtyard. It’s a lovely place.

The facility is very well-kept, aesthetically beautiful, and provides positive accomodations/activities for residents in the facility. The kitchen provides a cafe-style atmosphere that the residents seem to enjoy greatly-- the salad bar is great! The nurses and staff seem competent and very caring toward the residents, and they are quick to respond to different needs of the residents. The residents are given the utmost liberty and respect in their own personal livelihoods, which is not often seen to my knowledge in many care facilities. Overall, this facility helps to encourage the independence and happiness of the residents while also providing necessary care.
