Lucky to Find
A year ago my Mother finally acknowledged that she needed help. This is when the search began for an Assisted Living facility. My cousin became involved and helped to find a facility, he found “A Place for Mom” first. A list was created of suitable places and Fairforest Grove Senior Living was on that list. This place has been a godsend. The staff has been so nice and helpful. My Mother has memory problems and they have been great in handling her. People with memory problems can be very head strong at times and the staff has been great. After my Mother had been at Fairforest for 8 months, she told my cousin, that she was in the right place. So Fairforest has been good for my Mother and for me, don’t know what I would have done without them last year or the years to come.

Great Place For Mom
When you can't care for a parent, you want to make sure they will be cared or properly, and safe. Me mom has been at Fairforest Grove for a year now. I visit regularly, and have never experienced a problem. Mom is always happy. She gets the help she needs to dress, bathe, eat her meals, and spend time in the day room with other residents. I recommend Fairforest Grove if you need a place to help care for your loved one.

Fairforest Senior Living review
Fairforest Senior Living is an excellent assisted living facility. Management and caregivers are friendly and responsive, the food is good and the the grounds and building are clean, attractive and bug free. Maintenance and Housekeeping are excellent. It has not always been this way. Over a year ago the facility was purchased and new management was installed. The improvements have been impressive! I have been here four years and in the past I almost left several times. Now I wouldn't think about changing facilities.

Wonderful place for mom
My mother has lived at Fairforest Grove Senior Living for a few years now and is well taken care of. She enjoys the staff and the care she receives daily. They have daily activities (Bingo is her favorite) and always stop by to remind her when it’s time. The head nurse on staff ([name removed] ) is absolutely wonderful and is always available for my questions. Can’t say enough good things about Fairforest. If you are looking for a place to help you with the care of a loved one look no further.

Good Experience
My loved one is a resident at Fairforest Grove Senior Living. We moved him here from another facility, he's been here for awhile now and the experience has been good. His room is always clean. He enjoys sitting in the TV area and he appears to be well kept. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The food is okay. The staff is great, also.

Pros: The staff of caretakers are extremely friendly at memory care. Cons: I think they could improve on the cleanliness in individual residents rooms. Overall, I would recommend Fairforest Grove to others looking.

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked this community, it was one of our top choices. It is close to a pond and everyone was very nice. However they were going through some renovations so it was kind of hard to see some things.

Fairforest Grove was a Godsend to our family
The staff at Fairforest Grove always follows through. They are all very nice people that care about their jobs. Every time I walk in the door of Fairforest Grove Senior Living, they know who I am and they maintain open lines of communication with me about the status of my loved one. This community is a Godsend for my family. I feel like my loved one's voice is being heard and that she is respected in the community, by staff and residents. I don't eat with Mom, but she doesn't complain about the food or snacks! I just called her she is playing bingo. She loves the activities. The staff coordinated all of the community amenities, so my loved one could go have her hair and nails done and those types of things. It took it off my plate. The staff really relieved a lot of stress during this transition.

Loving care for my dad’s final days
I’m so thankful for the kind and loving staff at Fairforest. My dad was dying of cancer, and it’s comforting to us that his final days were spent in a safe, clean environment being monitored by a trained, professional, and caring staff. I highly recommend this Assisted Living Facility.

great place for a loved one
Fairforest Grove is a smaller community so we like the atmosphere, our loved one does not get overwhelmed since it is not a large community. The staff really know and understand the residents. From day one the staff have been nothing but extremely accommodating, very very nice and receptive to any questions or concerns we may have. The friendliness of the staff gets a 5+. They have a lot of activities during the week and every month to put out a nice activities schedule. Overall it has been a great experience and we would absolutely recommend this community to other families

Feels Like Home
It's like a family here. My mom gets to connect with people who have similar issues as she does. Like her, they're not walking fast. They're on her level with wheelchairs/walkers. With that shared experience, she's able to make true connections. She's made friends, and they come and visit with her. It has been amazing for my mom. The staff get to know the residents quickly by name and know their families. They know me when I come in, and they know my mom. And that just makes you feel really good. Their contracted doctor who comes in to visit the resident is amazing. Someone always answers his office phone 24/7 - you never get a recording. And he makes it a point to personally call you back. I also like that he always sends an email after each visit with his findings/results.

A Place for Mom has scored Fairforest Grove Senior Living 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
