I cannot say enough good things about this facility. My Dad was in the dementia unit on the 2nd Floor. I can honestly say I never once had to worry if he was being taken care of the way I would have wanted him to be. The staff was knowledge, helpful and most importanly kind and caring. The unit was always clean. His needs were always met. And they always kept me informed of any changes. Dad said the food was good too! The management and office staff were also amazing and assisted me with anything I needed. He passed away this week and I am so happy that I chose this nursing home and he was in such good hands. If you are considering this facility I highly reccommend it!

My husband was referred to The Royal for rehab after spending a week at Tobey Hospital. He had a pleasant room with sunlit water view. The staff are both skilled and kind, and my husband’s condition improved dramatically under their care. The Physical Therapists worked very hard to get him walking and prepare him for a safe discharge to home. The building is circa 1900 but the interior is clean and modern. I would not hesitate to use their services again. They are very kind!! Thanks to all!!

The Royal of Fairhaven is just what it says. ROYAL!!! I was there after surgery for rehabilitation purposes. Never experienced a facility for myself, I was nervous, skeptical, and curious at the same time. Upon my arrival in the afternoon. I was greeted with warmth and family vibes. As I settled in, every staff member from the admission staff to the nursing staff was so kind in making me feel comfortable and welcome. My feelings started to become clear that this is a pretty nice place to recover. Physical therapy did an awesome job in working with me and getting me back on my feet. The nursing staff monitored my meds and were on time with my treatment of care plan. I honestly can’t thank everyone enough. The activities and treats are endless. Bingo and movie night were my favorite activities. If I could put every staff member on this I would run out of room. The Royal of Fairhaven really cares about the people they treat in every aspect of life. The CNA’s did an awesome job and are sweet too. Had a few snags but they were with the agency CNA’s not the house staffed CNA’s. Big difference but overall if I had to do it again. I would always choose The ROYAL OF FAIRHAVEN my forever wellness and rehabilitation family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ann Marie💖💐

My brother David was at the Royal in August. I am so thankful to everyone that works there. My brother did really good while he was there. They kept him busy with activities and sitting outside on that beautiful front porch The Royal is so clean and gorgeous. The nurses and CNA’S were so great with him and physically therapy. I also thank the cook and kitchen staff for make sure David did get certain foods that would give him a problem. Every time I visited and then would leave I knew David was in good hands. David is home now and back to himself and I thank the excellent crew at the Royal. Again TY to everyone. ♥️🤗
