Very nice facility. I especially liked the bistro. It was well stocked and active. Fairwinds is currently at 100 % capacity, so it is best to get on the waitlist soon.

Know your Expectations I expected minor level of nursing care but got pill administration from caring people.

They need to clarify that they don't provide nursing care just oversight

Family friendly and Excellent food

The one thing that makes Fairwinds really stand out is the residents are all so friendly. They are like family and the staff are also friendly and helpful. The other thing that makes Fairwinds stand out from the rest is their food. They do an excellent job serving restaurants style with many options for breakfast, lunch & dinner to a particularly difficult clientele.

Review for Fairwinds - Rio Rancho

Compared with another "Place for Mom" in another state, comparable prices, I would say that t

Folks are very friendly, including the help

My introduction to Fairwinds was very positive. The tours that I would go on had to have pets. They even walk my dog twice a day at an additional charge of course. The people that I have met are very friendly including the help. Everyone is very pleasant !
