Reviews of Fair Haven

The rehab center was very good. Once they hired a new person to clean, the floors were vacuumed and the bathrooms were cleaned. The food was good and the cook was so sweet and friendly! So glad that the facility had physical therapy. Everyone was so knowledgeable and helpful to all of us working on getting better! Finally, I can’t say enough good things for the overworked RNs. They are so kind and efficient!!! I needed a lot of care and they helped me as quickly as they could! Fair Haven Rehab is a good place to go if one is not ready to go home after being in the hospital. How could I have forgotten to say something good about the nursing assistants! They are the work horses of the whole facility! They can do most everything! They also motivate one too by encouraging one by being positive! Lovely people!!!

I am beyond grateful to the entire staff on the second floor of Fairhaven’s skilled nursing rehabilitation facility. When I brought my mother there 3 weeks ago, she had very poor cognition and was unable to care for herself. I chose to take her to Fairhaven after several other supposed “skilled nursing rehabs” had failed her miserably. The thought initially was that my mother would have to be placed permanently in a nursing home facility due to her lack of daily living skills. Blessedly, the managers at Fairhaven rehab felt she could improve and wanted to give her a chance to return to a more independent life. Fairhaven’s therapists and staff did a miraculous job and she will be moving into assisted living next week! The meticulous care given to my mother, especially by Eric, Jenean, and Jenifer, were the reason for this miracle. They spent countless hours just pouring love and time into my mother and I could see her blossom from this kindness and compassion. They never gave up on her. Carie, the executive director, Emma, Jenean and Eric also patiently guided and loved me and supported me as her only child and caretaker during this very difficult time. There are so many others who were part of my mom’s recovery and I am grateful to every person on that floor. Just not enough space! Thank you everyone, especially Eric and Jenean! Thank you for all your love and support. I truly have grown to love you and will miss you terribly.

Fair Haven is a not-for-profit FAITH based community. The facility has been met with incredible adversity during the COVID-19 pandemic. All AL SNF continue to push back against debility. As in the community outside the facility COVID continues to rear its head. This is a ? bunch of people. I trust what is happening and they keep working to be better every day. The community needs Fair Haven too badly for its FAITH to FAIL I know I do. I am an only child. If it wasn’t for Fair Haven who would pray with and care for my MOTHER when I can’t 24/7? We are blessed and thankful ? for this community within a community.

It is difficult to rate a facility until you have a comparison. After looking at many facilities at which to place my wife, Fair Haven was an excellent choice. Initially, there were many staff issues and housekeeping was non existent but improved slightly although it was far from being acceptable. Given time, the new facility manager, Alexia, will bring the staffing to a very high level. William was one of the real bright spots.and really enjoyed his job. All of the new staff, brought in by the new facility manager were efficient, careing professionals . The food almost always looked good but was rarely hot. I would go back there at any needed time. We were in the Rehabilitation Community for more than two months.

Whether you are looking for yourself or for a parent I highly recommend Fair Haven Independent Living! My mother enjoyed her spacious and beautiful 1 bedroom apartment where she was surrounded by her lovely antiques and favorite things she brought from her home. She made many friends and memories while participating in the many activities provided by the staff. Any maintenance issues were quickly resolved. She enjoyed the meals provided in the dining room as well as in the Ice Cream parlor and the Bistro. The Holiday events were always fun! Everyone on campus was warm and friendly. She lived there over 7 years until she passed away and that sad event was handled with such grace and compassion for the family.

The nursing home has a nice ambiance. Too bad the staff doesn’t line up with with it looks it. May have been 3 nice staff members. CNAs are extremely unprofessional, and rude. I had a family member here for a few months and we took turns sitting with our loved one. And they did not like that. Every day a family member was there until dusk. At one point there W&D was not operating. And it took weeks for them to replace it or get it fixed. They would take our loved ones clothing and put them on another patient there ( My loved ones roommate) No one asked if they could. They are/were extremely short staffed. I’d rather hire a sitter vs coming back to this facility. Being rude and unprofessional is not ok! Choose wisely, read reviews, and look around before sending a loved one here. One time my loved one was put in her wheelchair facing the wall vs facing toward the TV. So for about an hour or so she was starring at a wall. One time I came earlier than usual and I was told we coming to change her bed sheets, etc. 2 hrs later no one had showed up. So I did it myself. I have emailed and mailed 2 letters no response and it’s been nearly a year. For what is being paid monthly, better care quality is needed, with better attitudes.

This place is kind of clean, but that’s the end of my positive remarks. The staff, which seems pretty overwhelmed, and like they need more help, is pretty rude. When we toured, they had doordash and other delivery people walking through the dining area to get to residents doors. I wouldn’t waste my time with this one.
