Community Testimonials
The facility that I have been in contact with through visitation seemed to be a very nice facility. All members of the staff I talked with seemed to be genuinely very nice people who seemed to really care about the folks that they looked after. The people who lived at Emeritus seemed to be in decent spirits although I only talked to one person living there and only waved and smiled at a few more. Although many of these folks who lived there did not want to speak with me, none of them treated me poorly. Again the staff was very kind I talked to a gal named Deborah. She allowed me to walk around and see what it was like to live there. Basically I saw a nice little community are where i tried to communicate with some of the folks. There didn't seem to be too much to do but the people there didn't seem to be wanting to do a lot. There was a nice outdoor walk, which seemed to be very delightful. I didn't visit the cafeteria or go inside any of the rooms but I did walk past a few and they all seemed to be rather cozy. The center had some group trips to places such as the movie theater to see "The Help." I actually kind of wanted to join. All in all it seemed like a pleasant place that is why I gave it 4 stars.

While driving through Anaheim visit friends, we decided to stop in and visit Emeritus at Fairwood Manor, since we were looking for an assisted living facility where our aunt could live. We were impressed that they could accommodate our last-minute visit. The area is convenient for our aunt who has many friends in the area.
Community rooms were nice and pleasant, with plenty of space to engage in a number of social activities like games, reading, TV and crafts. The residents may also host private social events. All of the rooms were spacious enough to include ample seating and tables.
The events calendar features many healthy and stimulating outside activities. We liked that the staff encourages participation and tries to make everything interesting for its residents.
The residents are encouraged to enjoy physical activity as much as possible. They may take exercise classes such as yoga and aerobics, or use the weight training and other equipment. They may also enjoy the outer walk ways around the building and courtyard.
The restaurant style dining area was very spacious and airy. offers many delicious choices. The lunch we had was like you might find in an upscale diner. We could see that our aunt would appreciate their menu options - since she has always enjoyed really good food. They also had a private dining room for friends and family to enjoy.
The private living spaces featured beautiful windows and nice private patios and balconies. Each unit was fresh, airy and peaceful, with a calming, color-coordinated décor and comfortable furnishings.
We got to see the diverse staff and residents - which seemed to include people at various levels of care. No one was separated out - the staff simply attended to those who needed it more. This was nice so that they could all fraternize easily. We noticed that at some places, there could be a tendency to separate people according to their physical ability.
We've visited quite a few assisted living facilities and thus far, the staff at this one are some of the most competent and friendly we've met yet.
