I see a lot of negative reviews here. All I can say is my girlfriends mom as been in the memory care part of St. Edwards for almost 8 years and is presently in hospice. This is a very, very terrible time for both my girlfriend and I. The nurses and aids and everyone that works at St. Edward have shown us so much kindness. They consider my girlfriends mother part of their family and they are losing a member of their family too. I have spend a lot of time recently at the facility and I have a new understanding of what it's like to work at the Village. The staff truly does care so much for the residents and the families of this facility. It's also the cleanest most well run place I have come across. I'd give St. Edwards 10 stars if I could.

My father is in renal failure and had a heart attack earlier this Spring. He lived alone on a farm pretty far outside of town about an hour and a half from Akron. We needed to have him live closer so we can keep an eye on him. He is very independent so the Independent Living at St Ed’s is perfect for him. There are many activities he can participate in or not and rides provided by St Ed’s to his appointments. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable and know almost all of the residents on a first name basis. Taking care of a senior parent is not something that is ever taught to you. It’s like learning a different language. The staff really goes the extra mile to help and teach you the ins and outs of taking care of a senior parent and making them feel at ease moving into St Ed’s. Putting my Dad into St Ed’s was one of the best things I have done for him.

My mom was there for 7 years. She had a major heart attack and other problems and was on hospice when she went in. They straightened out her medicine. The care was terrific. She passed away on March 16 and the sympathy from the staff was appreciated. My wife and I visited 5 days a week. You need to be present, even if it's dropping in for 20-30 minutes. Get to know the names of the staff. Compliment them. That way, when a problem arises, things will go better. Too many people just dump an older relative there and rarely show up. That won't work well for anyone. I have recommended St. Edward's to many of our friends. The is to be involved.

My grandmother was a resident in Assisted Living and Memory Care at The Village of St. Edwards until she recently passed. When I would come and visit my grandmother she would talk greatly about how well she was taken care off and that the workers were very kind to her. It nice to see and hear that she was given great care and that she was in a great community again. The buildings were very well taken care of with nice outdoor features and plenty of activities throughout the week for the residents. All my family still talks about how great of experience they had with my grandmother and The Village of St. Edwards and how pleasant it was for her.

My mom lived here, first in Assisted Living and then Memory Care, until she passed away recently at age 99. The staff (front office, aides, housekeeping, dining room, activities) were all so kind and caring. It was a wonderful experience and my mom felt safe and cared for. The facility is well maintained and clean, and I was so thankful that my mom was able to get the care she needed. Even in Memory Care there were day trips that she enjoyed and lots of activities. The activity staff was very patient and kept the residents as busy as they wanted to be. My sincere thanks to the exceptional people at St. Edwards Fairlawn!
