They have fun activities planned all the time. Good variety of food. Pleasant. No smells. Bright feeling. I would recommend this to others. We picked this community, because my loved one knew a lot of people.

Tour experience

We had a great tour experience with Fairwinds - Sandcreek. We liked their facility also, it was just a little bigger than my mom was comfortable with. Their staff was very friendly and the residents seemed busy and happy. They were very helpful and answered all of our questions, even some we didn't know we had.

a nice community

Our loved one already had friends living there which was a huge thing that our loved one was able to feel at home that way. The staff members really work with each residents individually. Our loved one is always kept busy with all the different activities. It really is a kind community and based on our families experience so far we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

My review of Fairwinds

I would say to look at this community before you make a decision on any other community. The have activities like sing a longs, puzzle days, book reading, bingo and more for the residents to stay busy in the community. The staff are generally wonderful.

A nice community and great place for loved ones

The Fairwinds facility itself is very nice, we were able to tour of our loved ones apartment before moving it and we were very taken away by it. The value for the money is completely worth it. The staff are also very friendly.

easy transition and good staff

They always have some type of activity going on for the residents. My mom loves it at this community. Everyone is nice and this is the best place that I found in town after looking around at other communities. They have activities like bingo, drives up to the mountains when the weather was nice before the snow started and more for the residents to do to stay busy. They have movies and more for the residents and even if she only shows up they will still show the movie.

My tour review

This community was very nice but the reason we went with another community is because we spoke with another community and they stated that there was a resident that would relate greatly with my loved one. When we heard this we knew that this would be a perfect fit for my loved one.

An excellent place - the best place that I found in our price range in the area.

The food is great. The service is good. It's a homey experience. The cost is pretty up there. But it's a good place for my loved one, and he is well taken care of here.

This community is very nice and the food is great. The staff is great and is very friendly. The community does not have a memory care unit so unfortunately, it didn't fit our needs.

Good but not outstanding

It was fine there for my mom and we didn't really have any problems with them. The caregivers were mediocre. For us, it comes down to the lack of skilled nursing care, and no registered nurses 24 hours a day. It seemed like there was always a high staff turnover and that seemed especially hard for my mom. The food started out really good and then the chef changed and if was hard for her to eat with her strict diet. They offered daily specials and the desserts were really good.
