★★★★★
PositiveBrookdale Fairhaven is a wonderful assisted living facility. Its small size, staff-to-resident ratio, services, food, activities, cleanliness, and cheery gardens and environs all make it an excellent choice for an aging loved one or oneself.
★★★★★
PositiveThe number of certified medical professionals on staff, combined with the small, personal size makes this an excellent choice for people who want their loved ones in a place where they are cared for and "everyone knows your name".
★★★★★
PositiveUnfortunately, I have a strong negative reaction to the “cool” blue lighting throughout the facility. You are not alone in not understanding the significance of this issue to me. I understand that the newer lights are used because the owner(s) made a financial decision to reduce electrical costs.
★★★★★
PositiveMy father was happy there. They cared about him but the other residents were really lovely and he loved being in their company. I would recommend to others. It's clean. Staff is kind and caring. He loved the food. He really enjoyed the other residents. He wished it had a better outside area where they could get outside and visit in the fresh air. A patio off his room or off the dining room would've been nice. All in all, the social part was so important.
★★★★★
