Overall Review of Fairview Nursing Care Center

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Hard to reach by phone

Residents and families describe difficulty getting through by phone.

Several reviewers say the phone system is unreliable, with calls going unanswered or taking a long time to be answered. Others also describe trouble reaching departments like social work, including calls not being returned or redirected to voicemail. A few reviews connect this lack of responsiveness to delays in getting updates and getting help when needs come up.

Food draws strong reactions

Dining quality is a recurring point of praise and frustration.

Some reviewers report negative experiences with food, describing it as unappetizing or repetitive and in at least one case linking it to illness or weight loss. Others are more positive, saying meals were good or even “amazing,” and that food support helped during recovery. Across reviews, the dining experience varies widely depending on who you ask.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is uneven

Multiple reviews raise concerns about cleanliness and odor.

A handful of reviewers describe unsanitary or unclean conditions, including reports of smells, dirty common areas, and rooms that did not feel well kept. Other comments mention unorganized conditions and difficulty finding help during day-to-day situations, which some reviewers tie to the overall environment. A few reviews do say the facility looks clean at least some of the time, but the negative cleanliness stories are frequent enough to be noticeable.
