The place is terrible! Food is gross, dog food! The staff is rediciculious! Slow at getting medicine, getting anything is terrible. They are slower than a glacier, the food is so gross had to send it back many times! Can't even tell what is on the plate! So disgusting. They are the worst ever. Would not send my dog there let alone a friend or family member. Asking an hour before medicine is due it takes two damn hours to get it When the pain is so bad every minute of wait excruciating. There is no excuse for this. Don't go to this hell hole!

Good care especially by the night staff. Mark, the Physical Therapist, was very helpful providing exercises and guidance to quickly regain my mobility. He always had a cheerful and friendly attitude.The Occupational Therapists and Speech Therapists were also very supportive and pleasant helping me with needed skills. The nurse in charge of my medications used humor to make me take the unpleasant pills. Some Nursing Assistants had attitude problems and were not gentle when helping me in the bed. The food was adequate but not flavorful. My stay at Fair Oaks HealthCare was acceptable.

Mom was at the skilled nursing side after hip surgery and received very good care. Staff was wonderful. She is now on the long-term care side and staff is just as amazing. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I spend every evening with mom which gives me the opportunity to see how the operation runs. Organized & efficient. Very clean. Staff works hard to accommodate the many different needs of the residents. Many thanks to the whole team.

I was thinking of letting my mother stay here after she got out of the hospital but according to employees, the front door has been broken for months. My thinking is, if they’re willing to cut corners on something so readily visible to new guests, how are they treating your loved ones! Not a good look at all, Fair Oaks Healthcare Center. Make a positive first impression with speculative customers and you’d have more business. Fix your front door, it’s an eyesore!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Year of Gratitude at Fair Oaks Health Care Center My 90-year-old mother has been a resident at Fair Oaks Health Care Center for a year as of this past July, and I can say with confidence that it was the right decision for our family. When I first walked through the doors, the facility passed the all-important “smell test,” and that first impression has held strong ever since. My mom is a good old gal from Texas who’s never met a stranger and rarely complains — so I take my observations seriously. What I’ve consistently seen is a team that’s largely made up of people who genuinely care about the elderly. Like any organization, you’ll run into a mix of performance levels, but at Fair Oaks, the caregivers who are truly passionate about their work far outnumber those who are just collecting a paycheck. You learn who they are and navigate accordingly. There are so many individuals who deserve special recognition. Brian, from the Activities Department, never gave up on encouraging my mother to engage. After 11 months, she finally joined in for bingo, music, and other activities — and that’s no small thing. Brandon and Larry from Facilities are incredibly responsive anytime something needs attention in her room. And behind the scenes, people like Reggie (Admissions), Kelly and Brian (Activities), Brittney (Nursing), Amber (Social Services), and Brandi (Business Office) have all been professional, kind, and a pleasure to work with. The risk in naming names is that I may leave someone out — but they all deserve appreciation. What sets Fair Oaks apart is the peace of mind it has brought me. A year ago, I had to make the incredibly tough decision to move my mother out of her home of over 55 years. That weighed heavily on me. But today, I’m a daily visitor and I see the consistency of care firsthand. The staff makes it easy for me to take her on day trips — including visits back to her old home, which means a lot to both of us. If you’re where I was — trying to figure out how to do the right thing for your aging parent — I strongly encourage you to visit. Tour the facility. Talk to the staff. Even better, stop a visitor in the hallway and ask them how they feel about having their loved one here. That’s what I did. And I’m thankful I did.
