Room for improvements.

only one cleaning person. Need more. When it comes to care services they tried, but doped patient to point of catatonic state to calm. That's why I moved him to another facility. not there long enough to judge the activities.

Review for Fairforest Grove Senior Living

Mom is surrounded by structure, connection, caring staff/therapists, and support! The lake and baby ducks outside are an added bonus. Dementia is hard, but she is doing so much better with all of the care at Fairforest Grove.

Positive experiencesl

It is a beautiful place--always clean and attractive inside and out when I visit my sister. She enjoys the meals most of the time, has assistance when needed, and enjoys a variety of fun and entertaining activities. I rest more easily knowing she is there!

Would not recommend

Negative...she was in the memory unit. One Sunday afternoon we went to visit and the worker in there was sleeping, my grandmother was in a recliner, soaking wet through 2 diapers, the chair was also wet . When we let executive director know she said the lady was fired but we later saw her there still working. We moved her to another facility
