Generally a good place for me.

Good place to live for me. Wonderful staff and many activities. Food is generally ok. I have no significant complaints, except food service is very slow. Also a bit lax meeting my food allergy concerns.

A new start.

Have been here for one month and am settling in. Staff have been very helpful in the process. Room is clean, bright and well set up. Having a full kitchen is a huge plus as well as fridge and microwave. Bathroom is adequate as well as plenty of storage space. All things considered this was an excellent choice for me.

Review for Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch

Overall it was a very good experience. However someone took [name removed] motorized scooter and it was practically brand new. We were NOT happy with how it was handled and that no compensation was even offered to us!

Definitely recommended

My mother is currently a resident at Fairwinds Ivey Ranch and everything has been very good for her so far. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The activities are also great. I would definitely recommend Fairwinds to others.

Thrilled with our choice!

All the staff are friendly and helpful. There is plenty of staff members on site at all times, so I am confident in the care/assistance that my mom is receiving. They have several sizes of apartments to choose from. We chose the studio size, which is plenty big enough for a full size bed, dinette set and recliner chair.

I toured with Fairwinds Ivey Ranch and I did not like the whole layout of the facility. Everything was very spread out and far apart. In order to get to meals, activities, etc. residents have to walk from building to building in an open causeway. This was the drawback for us and the reason we did not choose them.
