I have worked at Fairview estates for two and a half years now as both a server and prep cook. This job is perfect for me. The schedule is very flexible, and I am always able to get the hours I want. The staff and managers care a lot about the residents and do everything they can to satisfy everyone. I always enjoy my time working and have made many relationships with my coworkers. This job is perfect for anyone looking for plenty of hours and a great work environment.

I worked here and quit when a resident became violent and my managers laughed about it (I have no training with dementia but was told I should be able to handle it anyway). There is absolutely no way I would allow my parents to live in a place that claims to be independent living while they have a dozen residents in various stages of dementia. If you or your loved ones are looking at Fairview (or any of Hawthorns properties, at least in the northeast) please consider their health, safety, and happiness and look elsewhere.Edit regarding the response: We requested a meeting with our Regional Manager. He refused to meet with us without the Managers present (the same Managers who mocked us for not being able to handle a violent resident), so its hard for me to believe you would care about anything other than your census numbers if I hadnt posted a public review.

Rude Management, unacceptable. Find another place for your parents.

My dad has been there for about two weeks and so far, my family and I are very pleased! The staff and live-in couples who manage Fairview Estates are extremely friendly and accomodating and helpful to the residents! Yesterday, they had a fun, informal beach party which included hot dogs, hamburgers, and a chocolate fountain - family members were invited to attend also. It was cute! My dad feels comfortable in his room with easy, walk in shower and likes the staff, the food and his new neighbors. We are happy about the routine housekeeping service and the clean laundry facility in the hallway. I hope that my dad can soon make use of the Fairview bus which is available each day - this will give him some independence...he just needs some guidance on how to sign up, drop off/pick up etc - (He misses going to the Ashland Market Basket! ) Its a brand new facility, so we are happy my dad got a first floor studio with a patio! Thank you! Nancy
