A new start.
Have been here for one month and am settling in. Staff have been very helpful in the process. Room is clean, bright and well set up. Having a full kitchen is a huge plus as well as fridge and microwave. Bathroom is adequate as well as plenty of storage space. All things considered this was an excellent choice for me.

Review for Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch
Overall it was a very good experience. However someone took [name removed] motorized scooter and it was practically brand new. We were NOT happy with how it was handled and that no compensation was even offered to us!

Thrilled with our choice!
All the staff are friendly and helpful. There is plenty of staff members on site at all times, so I am confident in the care/assistance that my mom is receiving.
They have several sizes of apartments to choose from. We chose the studio size, which is plenty big enough for a full size bed, dinette set and recliner chair.

Tour experience
I toured with Fairwinds Ivey Ranch and I did not like the whole layout of the facility. Everything was very spread out and far apart. In order to get to meals, activities, etc. residents have to walk from building to building in an open causeway. This was the drawback for us and the reason we did not choose them.

Our families experience
Our loved one had a motorized scooter and when he passed that scooter had just disappeared. When we brought up this issues we were ignored and it just left a bad taste in our mouth. We felt we should of been compensated one way or another and again we were ignored.

Great place to live
The only reason I gave them a 4 was because they have had the elevator break down a couple of times when she was moving in so it was a pain since she was not on the first floor. Other than that my mom has been happy here and likes it. She is one of the younger residents here. I would recommend Fairwinds to others, especially more active more independent people. If you do need more care, you don't have to move apartments which is a big plus. [name removed] the director is phenomenal, she is always super friendly and helpful.

I would highly recommend
We chose Fairwinds because the inside atmosphere was great, [name removed] who gave the tour was awesome with all of her information, and it was in a good location for family. The facility itself is beautiful and they have tons of activities provided for the residents. I would definitely recommend to others looking

Nice Tour!!
I have no complaints of how my tour had went at this community for my loved one. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions I had for them in detail. I liked the overall property and thought they did job of keeping it maintained. They had an activity program and a great meal plan program for the residents. It was just not the right location for us in the end decision.

Wonderful independent and assisted living community but no memory care option
My mother moved a few years ago and has enjoyed the comfortable surroundings, sense of community, activities and independent living of Fairwinds. But in recent months, her memory has declined and Fairwinds-Ivey Ranch is not a memory care facility so "aging in place" isn't completely accurate. The assisted living services provided are very good but I'm having to look for a new home for her. It's sad to have to uproot her from her familiar surroundings and friends. But her needs have outgrown what they can provide.

They Had A Waiting List
This was my mom's choice but they had a waiting list. Smoking was also difficult, they had the designated area around the building, that lead you through the building and through two locked doors. it looked as if there were activities from the schedule that was posted. I liked the bistro area. It looked like it was a hang out area for residents and if a meal was missed they would be able to grab something from the bistro area. They did a good job with the tour.

extremely accommodating
So far so good at Fairwinds-Ivey Ranch. We are very happy. I feel like they have been extremely accommodating. The staff was very friendly throughout the move in. They answered any question that I had. She missed her cleaning day that she was supposed to have so I called and asked about it and they were surprised she hadn't had it and were right on it. They've just been great. They have been great about any medical help she has needed. She got sick the first week she arrived and they were extremely helpful in recommending doctors. The only negative I would mention is for the price she is paying I think she should get three meals a day rather than two. I have to get her extra groceries for breakfast and would really like to see her get three meals as some other facilities offer.

Well they can improve on the noise factor we are having in our apartment. It is right next to a mechanical room for the elevator. It is a nuisance and annoying, but they said the were working on it, so we will see.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.
