Fairwinds Spokane

The gal who gave us the tour was friendly and helpful. From what I saw, it looked to be a very nice facility. I was not able to try the food, but it looked good and seems to be a fancier menu than some others we saw. The only reason we did not choose them was because they did not have the continuous care that we were looking for.

My loved one loves the meals. My loved one has not participated in all the activities but has participated in some and it seems like there are a lot of activities offered and a good variety. The staff were friendly and are always good with returning messages and being open with communication. They even gave my whole family food when we were getting my loved one moved in.

Great FaceTime walk-through with [name removed]! The people we "met" at Fairwinds were friendly and welcoming. I appreciate the time [name removed] took showing me Fairwinds and answering my many questions! THANKS, y'all!!

We are extremely happy with Fairwinds for my mom. It was a big adjustment for her but the people there are amazing and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I am very impressed with how good the food is considering it is such a large place. There are so many options to meet all of your needs. I am grateful for A Place for Mom in helping us on this journey with a list of places to visit. Only visited one other after Fairwinds as we knew it was the right fit.

The first thing you notice when you walk into Fairwinds is the beautiful and modern decor and facilities, which is immaculately well cared for and maintained. The second is the equally beautiful atmosphere and personality of the community which radiates from residents, families, and staff alike. I cannot imagine a better home and second family for my parents to spend their "Golden Years" with. I am so grateful for everyone there who watches out and cares for my Mom and Dad as if they were their own parents. As a healthcare worker myself, I am continually impressed with the professionalism and training of the caregivers, and often take for granted the longevity of the core staff that is seen in all departments. My only complaint and concern is that there is no continuation of care beyond a very "lite" Assisted Living level, which in reality could lead to my parents requiring to move out of the home they love and away from their friends and the staff at Fairwinds, all because their care needs are too high... I hope it does not come to that, but it is a concern that crossess my sibling's and my mind from time to time. I know that not all people are able to afford Fairwinds for themselves or their loved ones, but if you are able to you will not find a better community.

This facility was gorgeous! I toured it while looking for a new home for my Mom. But unfortunately, it was too expensive for our budget. The menus, kitchen, and dining area were all wonderful. The rooms were beautiful and about medium sized. The whole building was bright and cheery and seemed welcoming. I think I would’ve moved in myself if I could have. They had a few activities they were able to tell me about like tours of different places in town, shopping, doctors’ services, and incoming entertainment. It was a genuinely nice community, just a little too expensive.

I toured Fairwinds while looking at options for my mother. It is a larger facility with elevators. I felt that it was nice, but was overall too big, busy, and too far away from family. I was looking for a community with a more home-like comfort for my mother, and I just didn’t feel that Fairwinds would suit her.

Really like Fairwinds. The tour was great. I wish we didn't have to wait to make a decision or move my parents.

My parents are doing wonderful and they are doing very well at Fairwinds - Spokane. It is a clean and well-kept community. What drew my parents to this community was their big gas fireplace in the front lobby. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. They are very welcoming to our family members when we come to visit. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The staff is easy to communicate any questions or concerns. I have dined there with my parents and the food is very good. They offer good choices and there is a lot of variety. They offer various activities. My parents so far have enjoyed day trips off-site and they loved the luau they recently had out in the courtyard of the community. My parents also enjoy the musical entertainment they offer. I would definitely recommend this community to others, I already did, twice.

This is such a beautiful community and my Uncle who has lived in this area for some time felt this was going to be the best place for him. My Uncle is doing very well here and the staff has been just great, they are attentive and come immediately when he has to use his alert button they keep an eye on him and I feel comfortable with him being here. There are a lot of amenities here for those residents who are interested and I would recommend a tour here as it is a wonderful place.

We had a nice tour of Fairwinds. The staff was very friendly and the community itself was clean and well-maintained. We chose another community because we wanted a bigger community for my mom that was a better fit.

They very nice,call 2days before and informed us that they did not have a furnished apt at this time.We thanked them for there help.

I toured this community for my father's care. We liked the staff that was friendly and caring. The community seemed to be clean and the menu was appealing. They do offer activities for the residents. They would not allow pets and that was something my father wanted to have with him. We would recommend that families see the options for the care in this community for a loved one.

This is a nice community and the staff are outstanding. My father said that the staff are very attentive. The menu is nice but needs small improvements. We like that the community is clean and they allow my father to have his dog with him. They are willing to helping my father when needed. We would recommend this community for the size of the rooms. I would recommend the care and the value of this community to other families.

I thought the tour we had was a good insight to the place. We thought it was fine and did not see any issues. The experience was good but the location was not convenient for the whole family.

The Fairwinds along with many other communities that we toured was great. It was clean and everyone was very friendly, but we found another community that for my loved one;'s needs much better.

My mother and I enjoyed our tour of this community. The staff where very friendly and had lots of great information to give us about there facility. Everything seemed very well maintained and was kept nice and clean for all of the residents. They had a spacious common and dinning room area that seemed to fit everyone comfortably. My mom just did not like that this was a multilevel complex.

I love Fairwinds Spokane! Not only do I have the proud honor to say I work there, but I truly believe in the lifestyle that is offered. It isn't just the beautiful community we have that makes us great - It's the people and residents. Everyone cares so much and truly makes the golden years fun and enjoyable for our residents. Fairwinds Spokane is truly FIVE STAR FUN!!

Don't be fooled by the "fancy" decor - it might distract you from the fact that once they get you signed up, it is all about squeezing more money AND the quality of care is not a priority. My family members lives there now and if wasn't such a hardship, I would move her. She has no faith in getting responsive, quality care and I've seen it first hand. You have to work hard to get proper attention and even then it doesn't last. There are a few quality staff who truly care - I wish all of them did. I would NEVER choose Fairwinds if I had it to do over again.

My father in law has been there for over a year and I am truly sorry we didn't realize how dismal his experience would be -- they value appearance over quality of care. Many hidden costs ($3.50 to bring a meal to a room) and lack of basic functionality for their residents. One example is the "spa" ... it is too small to easily navigate with a scooter, which many of the residents use - down to the basics, nowhere to put a bar of soap. Yet they spend a small fortune redecorating for "More 5 Star Fun!" --- this is icing on a mud pie. How about having an RN on staff in the evenings? That would be far more meaningful than putting in a tall bar in the lobby. Yes, a bar. A tall bar. I am disgusted overall. At 97yo, "Pop" couldn't tolerate a move -- otherwise, we would. If you are shopping for quality, homey assisted living that is "resident focused" --- it isn't here.
