    My Grandmother Vina Blakley, although her stay at Fairview Lodge was short. The time she spent there she was cared for and made to feel at home. The men and women at Fairview Lodge, unit HH are incredible people. We could not have asked for a better place for Vina to be. The staff constantly went above and beyond to make my Grandmother happy, she would smile from ear to ear when any of the staff would interact with her. From the cooking staff to the cleaners and every single staff member in between are truly amazing at their jobs. Unit HH has the most loving and caring group of workers, they each deserve a heart felt thank you!!!! We will never forget any of you!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, big hugs to you all! We will always be forever grateful for the true compassion shown by the staff of HH. Laura and Pauline

    This place could most definitely do better. Some of the psw workers are rushy , rude and ego eccentric. There are residence in here with a normal mind and treated not kind , stupid and belittling. The recreational workers a Jamaican girl or one with an strong accent is very nosey , and likes to talk alot of bs! Your workers need to stay in line and stop telling lies so that they dont get into trouble. This place just protects these workers with no consequences. Mind your business when relatives , other outside help or people come in. Half the time I come in to this place to visit the residence tell me they want to leave and absolutely dislike it here. Some of the trivia girls are pushy , and make the residence feel like they have NO free will. Absolutely pathetic!

    My mother at 101 who did not have Alzheimers went to this facility in 2025. They. do not tell you that 80% of the patients have Alzheimers and freely integrate with regular patients. My mother was pulled out of bed, flipped in her wheelchair, and they were constantly attacking her in her room. Meeting with John the head was told all floors are like that. In 10 days my mother did not recognise me, nurses said she was suffering from ptsd from the attacks. One older lady caught me off guard and pushed me onto the bed, I rang the bell but no one came. After those 10 days I took her home, the next day she was talking with the neighbours and so far is doing well. So unless you can advocate for yourself in there, or have Alzheimers, it is a sad way to end your days. I truly feel it needs a management change, but regular psw and nursing staff are great just overworked. Also the room you are shown during orientation visit may be nothing like the one you are shown.
