TESTIMONIAL

We receive a great deal of positive feedback about the level of care we provide.  Below are excerpts from a testimonial sent by Mrs. Beverley Richardson, a recent short-term rehabilitation resident who came to Fairview after hip replacement surgery:

            The care from the nurses and aides was fantastic.  My physical therapy went so well that I was able to go home after two weeks.  As I have made great progress the people where I live are amazed.   Thank you for having such a good establishment and services.

To the Staff of Fairview,

Our most sincere thanks to each of you for the kindness and care you gave to my mother Sylvia during her brief stay.  So many of you worked to meet all of her needs and to make her comfortable.  Our family appreciates your professionalism and your humanity.  You helped make a difficult time a little easier.

Our best wishes for a good New Year for you all.

Once again, I want to thank you all for all you did to get my Mom, Shirley Jacobsen, back on her feet.  I can always count on you to do the best for her.  It is a great relief to me when she is in your care.  I hope you know how very grateful I am for all that you do.  God Bless You All!

Dear Staff of Fairview Nursing Home,

We are very grateful to you for the loving care you gave to our mother, Julia Parker, who passed away at your home on November 27.  She seemed very comfortable with you, and we knew that we could count on your care for her every need.  You helped to make a very sorrowful time much easier for her and for us.  Thank you so much.

Sincerely, the Parker Family – Don, Martha, Jerry, Karen Tim, Kevin & Mary

TO THE NURSES & STAFF AT FAIRVIEW

Thank you for caring for Alma.  Caring meant so much more than merely seeing to her needs.  In my Mom’s case “caring’ meant giving and loving.  I never doubted that ‘love’ was a missing ingredient as you cared for her. I am so glad that we could bring her home to Fairview to spend her final hours.  Thank you all!

Ken & Laurie Hinrichs.

Dear David:

I am writing to express my appreciation for the excellent care given to Greg during the five months he lived at Fairview.

It has been very inspiring to observe the competent, caring and cheerful staff as they help each resident and respond to their individual needs.

Everything about Fairview is designed to make living there as interesting as possible.  The Library, the recreation room and patio, numerous sitting rooms, the Bistro, the courtyard, the beautiful grounds and that marvelous view all add a very special quality to life there.  And the range of daily activities is amazing.

A contribution is enclosed in appreciation of the high quality of your staff who made Greg’s final days as comfortable as possible.

Sincerely,

Nancy Hileman

Dear Mr. Malloy:

I am writing on behalf of the family of Dolores and Richard Steinreich.

We would like to thank the entire staff of Fairview for the exceptional care that was given to our father and mother over the past 3 years.

Mere words cannot express the gratitude we have for the Fairview employees from every department.  Our parents were treated with sincere kindness, compassion, patience and respect.

We will never forget the Fairview “family.”

God bless you all.

Sincerely,

Donna Gregory

Mr. James Malloy

Fairview Administrator

Jim,

I wish to express my (and my entire family’s) sincerest thanks for the excellent professional care which was extended to my dear wife over the past 18 month or so.  I note that almost universally the staff expressed genuine concern and affection for her.  As her constant companion, I had the opportunity to at first console her when she was being changed and washed when she was in pain with arthritis to at times actually helping and participating in her care.  Since I was caring for her for 2 ½ years before she was admitted I had some experience with the procedures and she felt secure when I was present.

I have had occasion to have visited 5 different nursing homes where my father, sister, mother-in-law, and friends were patients, and none held a candle to the professional conduct of the entire staff and the cleanliness standards which are found at Fairview.

There were very few instances where I thought some improvement might have been made, but then I don’t have the experience or background to understand all the untended consequences which might arise to negate the possible changes required to correct the perceived deficiencies.

In summary I commend you for running a first-class institution.

TO ALL STAFF AT FAIRVIEW:

We want to thank all who provided care to our mother, Mary Aiello, and to us during her almost ten years of residing at Fairview.  The dedication the staff shows to all residents is a wonder to see.  There are many angels in your building.  Thank you for all you have done.
