If your loved one needs care that surpasses your abilities, we can help. Deciding to move a loved one into nursing care can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be unpleasant. It’s important to recognize your well-being, as your loved ones’ health can rapidly decline without proper care.

Caregiver burnout can put a strain on you and your family. If you’re finding caring for your loved one to be emotionally and physically draining, or your loved one needs specialized support, nursing care can take a weight off your shoulders.

Moving from a home your loved one has lived in for many years can make the transition difficult. Because their surroundings may be unfamiliar, our biggest concern is to ensure your loved one feels comfortable, safe, and healthy when they get here.

If they’re having trouble adjusting, bring some of their favorite belongings to help them feel like it’s home. Photographs, personal belongings, and meaningful decor can help make your loved one feel more comfortable. We also encourage you to visit as often as possible and bring your family members to ensure your loved one is surrounded by people they care about.

In some cases, your loved one may not understand the need for enhanced daily support. At Fairview, we have expertly trained staff that can help explain the change with your loved one and clarify that this may be the best option.

If your loved one is experiencing cognitive impairment symptoms, such as dementia, our Memory Care may be a preferable choice of stay.

Before joining our community, potential residents must first complete our application form and be approved by their hospital or tending physician. New residents will also need to provide medical history and physical information obtained within the last 30 days. For Medicare patients who have been discharged from their hospital, they can complete their application from our home so long as their discharge doesn’t exceed 30 days

To help our staff provide the care your loved one needs, we will also perform a pre-admission screening to determine their medications, dietary requirements/restrictions, physician-directed orders for care, and any special equipment needed like specialty beds, oxygen, or wheelchairs.

Your loved one will then sign our Residency Agreement, Consent to Treat, and other forms before scheduling a date to move in.

Our residents can receive visitors 24 hours a day/7 days a week with no appointment necessary.
