The staff at Fairhaven Westview 4 are tremendous. Our family basically lived there for 6 days this week while my mom was end of life. Every one of them asked if there was anything we needed like coffee or tea when they would leave the room. We had the family room reserved just for us the entire time, which we could sleep or gather for a meal. I am sorry I don't know all the names of the nurses, but those who stuck out were Lenore, Amber, Jo-Jo and Christy. Mom had been there for almost 5 years with Alzheimer's , and you can tell how attached they were and each had their own little story about her. We did get quite loud when we were together, sometimes 7 or 8 in the room and we were never asked to quiet down, in fact they would come in and enjoy our conversations. Thank you from the family of Lenore Hickey.

In-house staff is not very kind to maintenance/contractors/security and other folks who work there outside of the medical field.
