PositiveThe Gardens at Fair Oaks review
Due to its size (not too large and not too small), everyone knows everyone - including family members. They are always very friendly and will stop to talk. And my mother gets lots of visits and hugs. Of course, there are always a few glitches here and there at every place. I think they take care of my mother very well. She now calls it her home. Dining room is gorgeous and some of the foot is terrific and other ok. They do have regular dining meetings for the dining staff and interested residents. Naturally, it is …

Positivehighly recommend
We love The Gardens at Fair Oaks. What we love the most about the community is the quality of care given by the staff members, the décor in the community and the food that is prepared for the residents. And not too big or too small. Plenty of room in her room - dinette, living room, bedroom and large bathroom. Not inexpensive, though, but it is worth it. We would absolutely recommend this community to others!!!

My mother was here for over 3 years. During the pandemic. The care was amazing. She loved the food and the activities. I was impressed by the number of nurses on staff at an assisted living. I was not used to seeing nurses pass the medications- most places use Med Techs- at least around here. The staff were just happy to be there- and that means a lot. Keep it up for the future residents! I know you will.

My husband's aunt came to The Gardens after a poor experience at a nearby nursing home. The staff were great. I was surprised by the number of nurses being it an Assisted Living. The apartments were nice. She loved the food. She thrived with the Activities. It has so far been quite a blessing from her previous nursing home experience. Thank you all!
