The Inn at Fairview Memory Care sits inside Fairview Senior Living, which has served people since 1951, and you'll find it's set up to look and feel like a real home, so folks living there don't have to feel out of place or lost, even as their memory changes. The staff is trained to handle memory issues like Alzheimer's and dementia, and they work around the clock, coming up with care plans for each person, so someone who needs more help gets it and someone who's more independent can keep doing as much as they're able. There are 45 private, fully furnished suites, all with private bathrooms, and some have patios or views of the garden, while the building itself has security in mind, with emergency alert systems and close supervision at all hours.
You'll see a lot of different spaces like a big dining room for shared meals, a private dining room if a family visits, a comfy living room, and a library where people can relax or read. Folks there get full meals three times a day and can have vegetarian or Kosher diets, and the kitchen can handle diabetes or other restrictions, so meals aren't a worry, and if someone's sick, meals get brought to their room. Nurses and the care team help with whatever's needed: bathing, getting dressed, moving around, taking medication, managing nutrition, even therapy or rehab. Doctors come by regularly, and there's easy access to dental care, eye care, podiatry, portable x-rays, and even lab tests, so no one misses important appointments.
The community runs on a busy schedule of social programs and group activities-people might join coffee socials, cooking groups, music therapy, trivia games, crafts, and painting classes. Friends form easily because everyone's in a similar stage of life, and there's a focus on helping people stay active with walking clubs, exercise groups, and safe trips outside, sometimes including special equine therapy at Strongwater Farm. The InnSights program stands out for the way it's designed to support everyone's own strengths and abilities, even as needs change, and there are support groups for families to help them adjust, too.
Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are all included, and staff help organize moves in, so new folks settle in without a fuss, and if someone wants to go to church or attend a devotional service off-site, there's help with transportation and parking, too. The building's wheelchair accessible, and there are both independent living and assisted living options right on the same campus. The Inn at Fairview Memory Care accepts Medicaid and Medicare and gives priority placement to folks needing extra care over time, which takes a bit of the worry out of planning ahead. It's not a flashy or fancy place, but it takes care of the practical details and daily comforts so everybody's kept safe, engaged, and as independent and respected as possible.
