My husband has been in the rehab center on the 2nd floor for 2 weeks now. There are 2 CNA’s that go above and beyond their job, Robert and Kylee, they are both very kind and gracious to my husband and myself. Always with a smile!

This place seemed to be a good place but if I could give it 1 million 0 stars I would. The workers are lazy, smoke weed outside the facility, leave the patients with soiled adult wear, mean and just there for a paycheck. You can complain but they still do the same thing. My mom fell and they brushed it off and now I see she needed serious medical care. I will say maybe 3 folks were okay but that’s not adequate for our seniors and those in these nursing care facilities and who need great and compassionate healthcare care!!!!! Do not bring your loved one there unless you are going to stay there with them or be there day and night. Fox6 was about to get called!!!!!

My dad moved into Fair Haven assisted living and I found his apartment to be spacious and inviting. It made the transition to a new place really easy. The nursing personnel and staff were wonderful. My dad also spent some time in their rehab facility after hospital stays and they got him quickly back on his feet. He continued to have therapy once he was discharged back to assisted living. Everyone kept me informed and genuinely treated my dad like family. I highly recommend fair haven assisted living.

Our family had a very positive experience with Fair Haven nursing home where my uncle stayed. From the beginning, the staff was kind, professional, and attentive to his needs. They treated him with dignity and respect, always taking the time to listen and make sure he was comfortable. The nurses and aides showed genuine compassion, and it gave our family peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. I want to recognize Tierika (The Cook) for her tasty food and kind, friendly spirit to my uncle!!!! The facility was clean, welcoming, and had a calm atmosphere. We are truly grateful for the care and support they provided during an important time for our family.
