The staff at Goldfinch made a difficult transition as smooth as possible for my mom. She really enjoys all the activities and exercise classes, and has said how prompt and helpful everyone has been. Every interaction I’ve had with staff when visiting has been positive. The building is kept very clean, and staff always say hello and smile in greeting or when you pass them in the hallway.

I can’t thank the staff at Goldfinch enough. Thank you for taking care of our loved ones. It is such a relief to not have to worry about them falling or remembering to take their medication. You’ve been a godsend to my family. A special shout out to Jacque for responding quickly and always helping when needed. And to Brody for caring so much for the people of our community. And of course, all of the staff that goes above and beyond every day to make sure our friends and family members are well taken care of. Very grateful for all of you!!<br>Kim Willard Tobin 🌺

Our family is very grateful for the care both our parents have received - our mom in Memory Care and our dad in assisted living- at Goldfinch Estates. We simply cannot say enough good things about Mary Larson. She helped us with placement for both our parents, and has been fantastic to work with as our parents aged and their needs changed. The facility itself is lovely and well-maintained. The personal care attendants are attentive and compassionate, while maintaining a sense of humor. Our parents have been treated with dignity and respect. From housekeeping to dining services to activities we have had positive experiences with the staff.<br>There are lots of resident-centered programming opportunities within the facility as well as special outings and bus transportation in the greater Fairmont community.. We are thankful there was such a quality facility available to our parents. Thank you to Mary and the staff at Goldfinch Estates! We appreciate all you’ve done for our family.
