Fairhaven Christian Retirement Center was clean and neat. The residents seemed to be pretty happy. The staff there seemed to be caring people. It was a good facility. We went there during lunch and the food looked OK, but it was nothing special. They have social hours, sing-a-long, and games. The rooms were like small apartments. They were not equipped for cooking, but they were like small 1- bedroom apartments.

We have visited Fairhaven many times as we had a close friend there in an apartment that we looked after. We have several other friends who have lived there. They all say how much they enjoy the people, food and staff. When a person moves in, the carpets have been changed or cleaned and the room painted. I have never heard anything negative about it. We have had two people in the health center with Alzheimers, and they seem to be well taken care of and are always kept clean. That's the best place to go if you have the money. But they don't take Medicare.

The room they showed us at Fairhaven Christian Retirement Center had shag carpeting that was older in style. They're not keeping the rooms up to what I would expect for the price. They had lots of activities and church services. Everybody was very happy, moving around, and seemed very active. The staff was mostly very good. The dining area was great, extremely clean, and extremely nice, but I wasn't happy with how not up-to-date the rooms seemed to be. I wasn't comfortable that they were going to make an effort to house both of my parents at the same time in the same room because they had their own strict rules. Everything was clean, but shag carpet for a person with a walker to me didn't seem real smart. It didn't sound like they were too interested in changing it.

I visited Fairhaven. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. They had a washer and dryer in each place. Each one had their own home, and you could make your own food. We liked the independence and that they had separate housing.

I visited Fairhaven Christian Retirement Center. It was an excellent facility. The staff was good. I would put excellent for everything.

They were very nice. I love the feeling of the people and the residents in that facility. Everybody was so kind, and there was definitely a Christian feel. They were openhearted, very accepting, and very loving. I love Fairhaven for that reason. I thought my mother would really love it, her being a very strong fundamental Christian woman. However, for her level of care, she is orthopedically a mess, but cognitively OK, and that's very difficult. When you're in a nursing home care, many times there's dementia or Alzheimer's; there's not a lot of cognitive stimulation, and my mom needs that. They can meet her needs physically, but residentially I'm not sure if it's the best fit for my mom. It's a little bit of a larger facility with great people, but she would be in a room in a hospital ward, and she wouldn't like it; she'd be miserable. Also sometimes, it's difficult to have a staff available to take you from the hospital ward to where the cognitively stimulating people are. It's not going to be realistic.

They've got it all on this big campus. They had beautiful condos and duplexes. It was very neat and nice, and it has all the different levels of care. They were very reasonable to buy. Their monthly fee was only $900. Fairhaven was immaculate.

We visited Fairhaven and the office staff was very professional. It's a very Christian organization. The food is very good and the place is very clean and very well kept. Mom in law is very comfortable; she's always dressed nice and neat every time we go there. She's in a supportive care and they're just doing tremendously out there. The staff is very polite and very nice. They know the people they're working with and they learn their ways and habits. We already recommended this place to others.
