Review for Fairhaven Christian Retirement

The food is the best three meals provided per day. All home cooked and presentation outstanding. Room apt size is your choice small one room to larger living room small kitchen and bedroom. Overall perfect size. House keeping comes into apartments once a week. Cleans & laundries bedding sheets and towels. Halls coffee area, dining all extremely clean good scent throughout. Staff overly helpful, kind and sweet to residents. Definitely a 5 rating.

Fairhaven Christian Retirement review

Residents and staff appreciate each other. Room sizes range according to the desire of the resident type of care needed. It ranges from duplex living to 1 room apartments. Of course the larger the living area the larger the expense. Activities include movies, birthday parties, knitting and crochet groups, use a large exercise room, group exercise classes that have expert leader and suited for any physical condition and many other things.

More nursing staff is needed, like every other facility.

Very friendly and very concerned about my care. The caring is not just to get you to move here, they continually care day in and day out. Safety is a big feature, rails in halls an floors unobstructed, plus the pendants and call lights.

I've been very happy here. I couldn't ask for a better place. They couldn't clean any better than what they clean and they are so friendly.

There are many benefits of living here. Meals, cleaning of my apartment, socializing at activities (well-planned) nursing care, and yet having the ability to be quiet in my apartment when desired.
