FairWinds Assisted Living is such an amazing community. You’re given the warmest and genuine greeting as you walk in from the front receptionist Alex. FairWinds utilizes community resources to elevate the daily experience for their residents such as live entertainment, enjoyable physical group activities, wonderful cuisine and a utilization of additional healthcare services such as Home health agencies to incorporate more advanced care when needed. Your loved one is in the best of care with the health and wellness team managed by Pauline LVN, Pricilla and Mary. The complex feels like a resort as you walk through with spacious living spaces. Definitely my choice to spend your days relaxing as you enjoy retirement.

My Mom has been at Fairwinds for about 2 years & we have been extremely pleased with the staff. Mom was fortunate to get apt #130E, which is across from the Heath & (Care?) room. Mary & Priscella work there & are outstanding employees. They are so very nice & caring & love the residents. These girls love their job & it shows. My Mom loves them. My family feels very fortunate to have found a wonderful place for Mom.

I want to recognize a few of your outstanding Staff members. Mary and Priscilla in Heath and Wellness for their kindness, helpfulness, compassion and the ability to help guide our Family members through the difficult process of aging. They both have gone above and beyond what we could have expected. The care and understanding our Moms needs have been greatly appreciated. Also, I want to mention Troy in Maintenance. When Mom has any issues in her apartment Troy has been there to correct the problem in a timely manner. I want to thank these outstanding individuals for their service and support. Best regards, Gary Ferguson, Son of Beverly Ferguson, 136E

My mother had an excellent experience while living at Fairwinds for over three years. She enjoyed her time there with the residents, getting reacquainted with some old friends, making new friends and enjoyed interacting with the staff, especially the Wellness Team who took excellent care of her needs. She enjoyed the special events that were offered on holidays and some Friday and Saturday evenings especially when the accordion player, Rick DeCarlo, was scheduled and played traditional Italian songs - she would set her walker aside and get up and dance to the music! Once we moved my mother into Fairwinds we experienced a 'peace of mind' knowing that her needs would be taken care of 24/7. She did have a couple of health issues while staying there and was tended by the wellness team quickly to assist her and contact emergency services for her. After recovering and returning to Fairwinds the staff took the extra time to help her adjust coming back to the community and get her back on her routine. It is unfortunate that after this recent health issue my mother wont be able to return to Fairwinds, but we have great memories of her time in the community and have made great friendships with the staff and residents that were close to her.

This place was top notch when my parents moved there 3 years ago. Today as of this review: the most used elevator has been broken for weeks. The kitchen has been offline for weeks. Now the power went out and the A/C is broken. Old people in 90 degree apartments suffering.

It is a nice facility, but they need to improve their cellular service. My family and I try to call our loved one and they never have any service. When speaking to all the others living there they have the same problem. It is a HUGE safety risk for us not be able to get a hold of them and even worse that they aren’t able to call others for help. This needs to get fixed right away.

I recently visited with a friend who was visiting their grandmother and I was blown away. This place felt so lively with music, activities and even dancing. Everyone was in such good spirits and it truly made me feel joyful to know that as we age there are places out there like Fairwinds!

I have been to Fairwinds twice, looking for a place for my mother-in-law. The reviews here were fantastic, and experiencing it first hand was above my expectations. The staff was so loving and kind, every resident there seemed so happy, entertained and well cared for. The facility itself is top notch. I will sleep well when we decide to transition. She will love it here.

Fair winds is such a beautiful community. Everyone is so friendly Sabrina and her team are awesome. They truly go above and beyond to make this tough decision into a smooth easy Transition. The prime fit exercise is amazing and seems to be a big hit such a wonderful way to keep everyone active. Highly recommend !

Very nice (Upscale) senior living community in Fresno California. They had their 24th anniversary party this evening, entertainment was provided, live music by the “After Dinner Mints.” The food was good. It cracks me up that elderly people always seem to complain about the food in senior living communities, even when it’s good!

Fairwinds is wonderful! My mother was a resident there and it encouraged wellness and friendship. There are classes and entertainment to keep residents active and engaged such as knitting, language classes, exercise, bible study, and church. The transportation was very convenient and available not only for medical appointments but social activities and shopping as well. The new chef has created a new menu. They are always looking to add new items that residents like and open to suggestions. The staff is kind, helpful, and understanding. We would definitely recommend Fairwinds.

My father lived at Fairwinds for over 5 years. He loved living in this community very much. He told me on many occasions that moving to Fairwinds was the best decision we ever made together. If you are looking for a loving community with excellent staff, chose Fairwinds for your loved ones.

Fairwinds recently offered to serve as the lunch caterer for a large Education Summit & Senior Resource Fair hosted by the NorthPointe Community Church Elder Care Ministry on 5/06/23 on the church campus. To say that they stole the show would be an understatement! The food was more than abundant, the flavors were savory, and the service was joyful and efficient for the 250 people who were gathered to attend the conference and manage the resource booths. The team fashioned a summer kick-off menu of on-the-spot BBQ'd tri-tip, the best macaroni salad ever, the best-tasting baked beans ever, a fresh dinner roll, a spinach salad blend with dried cranberries in a light dressing, and a large piece of summer watermelon for each of our conference guests. They were prepared with a production line before they even arrived at the conference prep kitchen, readied all the meals, and had them served to our guests in less than 10 minutes! We can't say enough about how grateful we are for their dedication, joy, and "all-in" serving hearts! We want to move in with them!! THANK YOU FAIRWINDS - WOODWARD PARK!!!

My mom moved into Fairwinds in January, 2023. Everything has been wonderful. She is really enjoying her studio apartment. She is 97 years old. She loves the activities offered like Line Dancing, Stretching Classes, and Spanish Class. They are on top of her health issues and notify her doctor and myself when she needs attention.

I’m very glad my mom has an apartment here. The facilities are clean and the grounds are very well kept. The residents are nice and outgoing which almost always means the main lobby area is a hub of activity. The staff is very friendly and outgoing too- always smiling, always trying to help in whatever way they can, and I’m glad to know many of them on a first name basis. There is definitely a family atmosphere here. Last but certainly not least, the grounds are lush with old growth trees accented by well manicured lawns. It’s absolutely beautiful!

The facility is very nice, as well as the residents. The one thing I believe needs improvement is in the dining room. The food is average, very often cold, and the service is very slow. And the selection of menu items is getting to be less and less. And now we are being charged for food items that were once free of charge.

We moved into Fairwinds 8 months ago and have been extremely pleased with our experience. We were pleasantly surpised by the comfort of our apartment in that the temperature has never gone below the low seventies and that without using the heating system. Also, soundproofing is excellent as we have not experienced any disturbance from adjoining apartments. In spite of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, Fairwinds staff have done their very best to provide excellent service.

My parent lives here. On the overall, it's a really nice well maintained facility. The employees are kind. However, one huge area of complaint for the residents is always the food!! The residents pay for it, but Fairwinds does NOT provide high quality, fresh food that is well prepared. Here is an example of a side salad which is only lettuce with an onion sliver, and a Cobb Salad entree. The Cobb Salad dinner entree has NO dressing, no egg, no bacon, and no blue cheese (only a mozzarella like cheese product). The beef is tough and the chicken is flavorless. There is also a photo of "lasagna" which has overcooked pasta and thin tomato sauce and a flavorless ricotta filling, and water logged broccoli. This picture was taken 4 months after my initial review, so they clearly have not worked on improving their food execution. Since the residents are on lockdown, food is one of the very few things they have to look forward to and Fairwind's cheapens out and leaves the residents disappointed that they cannot get a good, tasty meal with all of their hard earned money. It is a shame they do not value the residents more, and put themselves in their shoes. Right now all of their amenities are closed down, like their gym and movie room, and activities so they are paying for amenities they cannot enjoy. A similar regular apartment would be about $2000 less per month, so the residents are paying roughly $2000 for their food with this low level, poor execution. In reply to the response from Fairwinds: This is really wonderful that you will be working with your team to improve their meals, however, they have NOT experienced an improvement. The "Cobb" salad did not have the dressing in the bag. Residents have shared that complaining about the food in the past has not resulted in any changes which is why this review is posted. The meals lack creative ingredients for a more enjoyable experience. For example in the entree salads there is little variance of ingredients except for the main protein. They regularly have just lettuce, onion slivers and cherry tomatoes (examples in photos are the "Cobb" salad and the Steak salad). There are many different types of cheese and other veggies that could be used to make an entree salad more interesting/delicious. The residents are eating these options daily, so more effort to changing ingredients would be greatly appreciated, since they have very few activities to look forward to in their day. Examples would be: mushrooms, red bell pepper, butternut squash, cranberries, sun flower seeds, kale, dates, apples, broccoli, avocado, sweet potato, spinach, pine nuts, blue cheese, feta, etc. They would love to have beef that is not tough and chicken that has flavor since these proteins are served often. Thank you for responding positively. I look forward to updating this post with changes that are reflected in their meals, but it does not look like Fairwinds has made any culinary changes.

The restaurant is top of the line as far as a good dining experience can go. This is a retirement community so I don't know how often they serve the public.the food is good and portions are good. I didn't try their desserts, so that can be for another time. There is also a cafe before you get to the restaurant which handles lighter fare. It's a nice place to go if the opportunity presents itself.

We returned to Fairwinds just a short time before an announcement was made, of a lenghty remodeling. (surprise!!!) Dining room and much more were to be changed. Six months for the construction with food, closed dining room, and other amenities still paid for. Fairwinds has great, expensive, larger apartments, and other good features. I give it a generous two stars, because of a very monotonous,heavy carbohydrates menu, luke warm food. Breakfast is good, but slow. Thirty minute waits for seats, and 45 minute waits for food (because tables are dirty) are not unusual. Before moving to any senior home, have several meals, especially dinners. Ask a number of residents, at random, for their opinions, and read your renter agreement carefully

My mother in her mid 80's lived and more importantly, thrived at the Fairwinds Woodward Park for over 6 years. Due to declining health and need for more support with her daily needs, it necessitated the move from her home of nearly 50 years. Health issues along with the move away from familiar surroundings were traumatic for her but the staff and atmosphere uplifted her spirits and I truly believe added many quality years to her life. Highly recommend
