Resident & family reviews
3.1 · 79 reviewsTenth floor staff is incredibly supportive, professional and compassionate. The level of compassion and care toward my loved one was greatly appreciated by my family. My loved one did not want for anything while she was there. The room was impeccably clean and maintained. My family and I cannot say enough about the facility and the staff at Fair Acres.
My mom was in FA for 10 months. She came from a 5 star nursing home that nursing staff were good but the PT and OT lazy rude and dismissed her as she had a serious injury. Quote from the 1st nursing home PT “I’ve never seen a leg do that!” She’ll never walk again! Fair acres took my mom in and within 36 days my mother took her first steps!!! It was time to move now!!! Fair Acres had my mom out of bed every day she was not left to lay there like the 1st facility. Mom moved herself around in a wheelchair on day 3. The staff at FA are pleasant and accommodating. Nursing staff on the 7th floor…

My mom was in FA for 10 months. She came from a 5 star nursing home that nursing staff were good but the PT and OT lazy rude and dismissed her as she had a serious injury. Quote from the 1st nursing home PT “I’ve never seen a leg do that!” She’ll never walk again! Fair acres took my mom in and within 36 days my mother took her first steps!!! It was time to move now!!! Fair Acres had my mom out of bed every day she was not left to lay there like the 1st facility. Mom moved herself around in a wheelchair on day 3. The staff at FA are pleasant and accommodating. Nursing staff on the 7th floor were true angels they have so much on their plate and they still have a smile and take care of your loved one like their own. The therapy department!!! The therapy department is absolutely the best!!!! They took their time with my mother and they pushed my mom. They were wonderful absolutely wonderful. They were so accommodating and understanding of my mom’s needs. Kathy Laura Kayla and Mitch absolutely phenomenal!!! FA isn’t what it once was it is renewed reborn with the staff and nursing. I’m so grateful and thankful for FA. Thank you for getting my mom home thank you for letting her enjoy the holidays and thank you for giving her a life back. ❤️
My brother Fred lived at Fairacres for the last two years. He was in Building 1, floor 1. During this time,everyday there was very pleasurable. The Staff was always loving and caring. They always had programs going on for them. They have a “Meet and Greet”, which takes place on the entry level, in a large room. They serve coffee and donuts! Everyday there is something! We were Blessed to have Fred there. He was 94, and he is in Heaven now. Seniors maintain their Dignity and Caring for their needs with compassion is their priority. Thank you to All Doctors, Nurses, and Caregivers there ! Eve…

My father-in-law was a patient of Faire Acres for over a decade! He had his money and clothing stolen a number of times. We believe it was the employee/s at Fair Acres. If you have a roommate that is non-verbal, your chances are higher to have things/money stolen. My father-in-law was afraid to stand up and say something because he felt that they would take his complaints out on his care. We believe a handful cared about my father-in-law but most put on a front when we were visiting. Please, Please, think twice before placing your family/friends into this facility. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Fair Acres due to a combination of the factors listed along with a long list of others.
horrible place of employment. every woman there is miserable. and I believe that's because there's no excitement in their lives, but bringing negatively and being rude to others. They ALL are no help, ESPECIALLY those women in the OFFICES. They lie to get you in the door. If your a nurse, your worked like a slave. if your a CNA, your given work work work like your a supervisor or RN. Food service workers are all pt until a FULL time position open. they have 8hr & 4hr shift which in reality are 2hr & 4-6 working hrs... the rest your standing around trying to find work or hiding from supervisors & mgrs. the workers are nasty, unsanitary, and not qualified. I was speaking food jargon & they were lost. one didn't know what "marry" meant. it's just upsetting to understand this is a GOVERNMENT building. Do Better. I started Sept 30th & it's oct 25th... I worked a total of 13shifts, was scheduled for 16 ridiculous, but they want you to give open availability. HORRIBLE wouldn't recommend.. feels like what going to Chester High would be like & I was good younger and I'm good now.
They do not have a good level of care they are prejudice against overweight people. They did not change his catheter which lead to infection then his death, Fair Acres staff are lucky we did NOT sue them,it was was because of my Aunt that we did not. they placed Dad with a man chanting I want to die all day long he The staff did not care If you love some one don't put them in this pee smelling place
My family member suffered and died here as a result of the under training, under staffing and under compassionate members of staff here.
Best facility there is.
