My 95 yr old grandmother spent her entire life helping others. She has dementia & is still learning how to accept help. After she fell at home we had no idea what to do. We toured several facilities. Brookdale Salina Fairdale stood out above the rest from the moment we called to inquire about a tour. Both Rebecca Giles & Larry Nichols have the most phenomenal experience and knowledge of anyone in their field. They work extremely hard to make sure my grandmother literally has everything she needs to become stronger and more cognitively aware. The nursing staff is attentive, caring, and above all they love each other and what they do. They do it all with a smile and so much patience! She is never hurried & they communicate with each other constantly so she receives the most tailored care available daily. I still cannot believe the amazing whirlpool experience she had recently. “Thank you” is simply not enough. Elysia, Kylie, Alvina, Yasmine, and Kathleen McKenzie are amazing!

Most of the staff is very rude. Teamwork is not a thing.

Words cannot express the degree of relief that I feel in knowing my family member is in the care of this wonderful team of compassionate, patient and thoughtful people as he lives out his final days. I want to thank you, Brookdale Fairdale, in Salina, from the bottom of my heart for your help with getting him transitioned and for taking the time to understand and create a plan for his individual needs. Every person we have encountered here, including Amanda, Nicky, Melissa, & John (wish I could remember several others) has been attentive and invested in getting to know us as well as our dear guy who just moved in. You all have given a very warm welcome ☺️. I highly recommend looking into Brookdale as a solution for you or your family member, no matter their needs, to see if it's a fit. ❤️❤️❤️

My mother has been a resident of Brookdale Salina Fairdale for 5 years. She loves living there and we love the care she receives there! The aides and staff are so thoughtful and attentive.<br>There are always fun daily activities, for those that wish to join in. Otherwise there are quiet areas where one can read, play cards or enjoy the courtyard! She recently celebrated her 100th Birthday and the staff was very helpful with our preparations. It’s definitely a family community!
