Fairfax Health Care Center, also known as Fairfax Place in Cleveland, Ohio, is a senior community that offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, home care, and residential care home services, and the building has 98 certified beds, though lately about 34 residents stay there each day. They focus on helping seniors with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers, and they have both 12-16 hour nurse support and a 24-hour call system, so help is available if someone needs it-even overnight. Nurses and staff speak English, offering physical, occupational, and speech therapies, respiratory care, wellness and fitness programs, hospice and respite care, meals planned by chefs, and social and recreational activities, and there's a strong focus on nutritious food with meals made from quality ingredients, which several residents and families like to point out. The community has private suites, updated furniture, fresh interiors, landscaped grounds, and communal areas to gather, plus private rooms are getting updated, making the space comfortable for long-term stays or short-term rehab after surgery, illness, or a hospital visit.
Some unique things are their memory care program for people with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with amenities and staff training that help prevent wandering and confusion, and there's support for seniors who enjoy independence but still need daily help or some companionship, with friendly staff known for being joyful and earning community awards like Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star based on care and staff friendliness. Fairfax Health Care Center is managed by Foundations Health Solutions, LLC, with ownership by Foundations Health LLC and names like Brian Colleran, Nkechi Edeh, and John Krystowski holding control since September 2024-this follows an ownership change in the last year, which sometimes brings shifts in how things are run. The nurse staffing hours, at 4.36 per resident per day, run higher than the state average, and care teams try to give individualized attention, help with cleaning and hygiene, and coordinate health needs by working with other social services.
However, Fairfax Health Care Center's records do show some issues to pay attention to. There have been several deficiencies in the past, 47 total including 3 for infection control, and on March 29, 2024, the facility got a $10,039 fine after a complaint brought up four separate deficiencies, some related to responding to abuse or neglect, making and following policies to stop abuse or neglect and reduce theft, and making sure the space is safe and free from hazards, and one of those even posed immediate danger to resident health or safety. There also have been problems with infection control, which means extra care's needed to prevent the spread of sickness. The most recent full standard inspection was delayed, happening over two years ago, not within the state's recommended 9 to 15 months schedule, which is important since regular checks help keep places safer.
Fairfax Health Care Center accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and as of June 2025, 64 beds are open, which could be useful for new residents looking for care. They offer specialized non-ambulatory care and help with all key activities, plus physical and occupational therapy programs, wellness activities, social outings, and nutritious dining in a community setting. The grounds are landscaped and there are efforts to make community life engaging and joyful, with special attention to one-on-one companionship and relationship-building between residents and staff. The team gets training from the Foundations Health system, following clinical procedures intended to make everyday work more reliable and safe.
Fairfax Health Care Center offers support for seniors who need various types of care in a recently updated space, with recognized staff and a broad mix of services, but anyone considering it should understand its recent history of deficiencies and review inspection and quality records before making any decisions.
