My father has been at Fairfield Post Acute for almost 3 months, due to a Stroke. My father is thriving and happy. The staff are amazing, compassionate, and caring of their patients and families. They all go the extra mile. Thank you so much Fairfield Acute for taking so good care of our farther and for the dedication! read more

My father passed away here on 5/21 and I appreciate the entire staff of take care of him. Very clean place and nice pleasant atmosphere

Very attentive to patients and their families. My mother in law has been there for 7 years and not even once has she developed any bed sores. She has Dementia and is bed bound so she is very high risk for skin ulcers. It's only because of the diligence of the staff at this rehab institute that she has been doing so well. The staff call us every time any change in her condition occurs. The doctor calls us personally every time he sees her and gives us a report. We never think we are out of touch with anyone and we are very appreciative of all the hard work and love and care they put in for our family member and all the other patients too. I have talked to multiple people who either attended this Rehab center or had a loved one who did and they were all satisfied. If I need a nursing home one day or a short term rehab, I would chose Fairfield Post Acute rehab for myself. read more

One of the worst feelings in the world is having your loved one 2,500 miles away from you, unable to speak and tell you how she is doing. As a daughter who loves her mother more than anything in this world, my heart was broken when I was told years ago that she would not be able to live here. I prayed harder than I had ever prayed for anything in my life that she would be able to live in a place that was bright, clean, and comfortable. Fairfield Post Acute Rehab has been that place for me and my family, and for my mother, for several years. I am beyond grateful for their caring and competent staff. When covid hit I knew that I wouldn't be able to see mom in person for a while (I usually made the trip twice per year), but I was able to call at any time and talk to someone who would let me know how mom was doing. As soon as possible the staff updates families about the status of the facility after someone tests positive. Additionally, whether facilitating video calls or answering numerous questions about her care, I have never had an issue with the staff at FPAR. Whether in person or via Skype or telephone, meetings about my mom are conducted professionally yet with compassion. I have dropped in unannounced as early as 6am before an early flight, and as late as 10pm - I am ALWAYS able to see mom. Numerous friends are family members drop in when they are in the area, and they are always treated kindly. No rehab center is perfect, but my family is very happy with the care that my mom is receiving. While it is true that I would prefer that she be located closer to me, FPAR is the next best thing to having her next door. Day or night, even with the 3-hour time difference, if I want to know how things are progressing all I need to do is call. Someone always answers, and if they don't have an answer they call back quickly once they know what I need. I don't use the phrase "God sent" lightly, but that is exactly what FPAR has been for me. I would give them 10 stars if I could! read more

Where do I begin. lack of staff, violating HIPPA regulations by not logging out of their computers that are on the mobile nursing carts so when you walk by you can see patients information, continual issues with nursing station phones ringing off the hook, no one answering when family calls in, one PT was excellent, the others were not going the extra mile. The CNA's do all the work, they are a god send. Not watching dementia patients close enough, poor service from premier labs causing labs to not be taken, causing delays in treatment. I am really surprised this place is on business. Would never have any of my family go here in future. read more

I'll start with the positives: the staff at Fairfield Post Acute, especially the HHA/CNA's were phenomenal. My Dad was sent to this facility post stroke for rehab and he was always clean and well fed. That being said, he did not receive rehab. I read what post-stroke rehab should entail and my Dad did not receive rehab. He has dementia too so you have to be a little more aggressive with him now. The staff was not firm enough with my Dad and did not always do their job because he would say "no". He's a dementia/ stroke patient in an unfamiliar facility, of course he says "no". So he's getting the boot tomorrow because his insurance won't authorize anymore rehab days, but he still can't sit up, walk or go to the bathroom on his own like he was able to before. This facility should have tried a little harder. Having him lay in bed for 3 weeks made him weaker, not stronger. **For your sanity, never turn your Medicare over the Medicare Advantage. You will spend your life waiting for authorization when your loved ones need care now. You will be at the mercy of these advantage plans that want to hold on to all the money Medicare has given them to manage our care. The little perks and cost savings aren't worth it in my opinion. read more

So far of 9 agencies contacted this has been the most responsive. A person answered my call, sent a fax number immediately & was very pleasant to speak with. I can see why their scores are higher than others. We'll see if my initial impression continues as my client attends her first intake appt but so far I'm gettin good vibes read more

A rough start at the facility for my mom due to light staffing. Her nurse that first day was negligent and rude to family members when questioned. As the days progressed her care got better after my wife had talked to the director. Overall its a pretty good facility and one bad nurse shouldn't affect their over all rating. One thing that I think is important but lacking are chairs for the patients to sit in. They are pretty much restricted to their bed which is contradictory to being rehabilitated. My mom can't get up and walk on her own so she just laid there day after day. She would like to have had a chair to sit in. She fell asleep sitting up on the edge of her bed and hit her head on the wall. My mom loves the CNA "Maria" she said she was so attentive and caring. The physical therapist was very good too. read more

My father, who is a U.S. veteran, was cared for here as a long time resident and when under Hospice Care until he passed. The staff care about their patients and the families. If you check on your family member regularly you can work together with the staff at FPAR to deal with all of the issues of having your loved one away from you and needing special assistance. I worked closely with the VA doctor and social worker as soon as my father entered this facility. Did we have some problems, yes. But all of them were dealt with professionally and quickly and never repeated to affect my Dad. The facility is currently on the VA contractor list if your family member needs VA assistance while recuperating from surgery or a severe illness. The facility is kept clean and the system requires all that is needed (masks, gloves, disinfectant, computer sign in and sign out, etc.) to keep the residents and patients safe, clean and away from diseases and illnesses that can be brought in from the outside. We appreciated the support and quality of care given to my father from the Nurses, Doctors and Nurses' Aides. They treated him like one of their own family members and that's very important. Julie was awesome and worked with our family for large family visits and getting messages to appropriate staff members. read more

Mom has been a resident at FPAR for several years now, & my family & I thank God for them every day. I would have thought it impossible to have peace of mind regarding Moms care when I live thousands of miles away, but FPAR has given that to us. Frequent visits from myself, family & friends have always been met with warm, caring & competent staff & administrators. Mom has always been clean, safe & well cared for. This speaks volumes because Mom requires a maximum level of care. Our family is forever grateful to everyone there & we pray for their continued safety & strength especially during these challenging times. Patrice T. read more

My mom has been at the facility for a few weeks now as part of their rehab program after a recent stroke. The facility itself is extremely clean, the staff is happy and hard at work, there seems to be plenty of staff and when I walk in around meal time it smells amazing. Mom will soon be moved over to long term care and I am thrilled she will be stay here. My mom seems to be happier here than she was at her assisted living facility. If you have to place a relative in a Skilled Nursing facility this place should be your first choice in Fairfield. I could not be happier. read more

My aunt stayed here 6 weeks wish there was 0 stars - the only saving grace is the physical therapy portion- Tina was fabulous the nursing care is horrific they called her names- she is able to use the restroom but was not taken so was left to soil herself- this place took away her dignity Just disgusting- living out of town I knew nothing about it until much later There were. Ants in the room and food- This place needs a total inspection Don't send your family members here Then they billed her insurance 28,000 dollars what a joke Believe me I am investigating this I've called an ombudsman Update- ombudsman service was useful in facilitating fact finding when facility didn't want to release medical records (crazy I know without a hundreds of dollar charge) however that was resolved - not swiftly - but resolved - it was proven true sadly and steps to correct their "errors" will be taken by appropriate agencies Unfortunately my aunt passed away before I could let her know that this will hopefully not happen to anyone else read more

My dad was transferred to this place and it was ok the staff was nice but he ended up hurting himself with his catheter and they never got treatment for that and then released him when time was up when he was not able to walk on his own . He went home and then back to the hospital the same day . Food was ok read more

At Fairfield Rehab right now, it's my mother's 88th birthday!!! She has been in their care for 7 years. God knows if it wasn't for the love, caring and professionalism from the staff for my mom, I have zero doubt that she would still be around to celebrate today. I had to let people know, because I have had issues with certain medical establishments in the past. Anyone with a loved one would be lucky to get care here! Baxter Rilford read more

My mother came here for a foot wound. The neglect from this facility and staff is so much Starvation Shoving medication down my moms throat a throat cancer survivor that had scars from radiation but I guess to slow for the CNA yes CNA administered the meds and gave her the wrong amount many times Did not see the signs my mother was aspirating on her food when confronted the nurse denied it (3) days later my mom was sent by them to ER for aspirated pneumonia after a long ten day fight my mom died NOT from her wound (even that got worst there) but By their neglect to deal with their employees Every day I was there dealing with this and every day they failed the promises When I brought her food they threw it away Left her wet no sheets no blankets for hours, I was working on getting my mom out of there but was too late as they were dragging her out the bed to do Physical therapy she slumped over from weakness They almost didn't send her to ER someone else said she needed to go. In the short time I was there I seen seniors left in hallways being yelled at and called mean. I regret my mom going I didn't want her to It was the dr telling her it would be better for her. My mom cried the whole time before she died on how terrible they were to her. Please don't be fooled they are not top ten they always said we are better then this IF that's better we are in trouble read more

My mom died almost a year ago....On July 9th 2022. I wanted to write this review without lashing out from emotions. I wanted to give my honest feedback. I personally chose Post Acute because Mom was in there before to rehabilitate from a back surgery. Back then the place was great so I was so very happy when mom got picked up to go there. Our goal was to try to build up Moms core strength and put some weight on her. Sadly our health care is so taxed from covid-19. People are over worked, underpaid and there's been a hole in the system just trying to find people to work in general. So I was shocked when I first arrived to bring mom her personables when the staff didn't even open the door for me when they saw me there (after ringing the doorbell) I had to call the head nurse? And when I told her that people were actually looking at me (outside) she laughed and said, "go figure", and came to let me in. Mom was admitted June 19th, she was dead 2.5 weeks later. Julie called and left several messages, but I never had a chance to talk with her. My point of contact most of the time was with Lyndsay (I believe was her name). Mom lost ALOT of weight while being in there, and she was transferred to the hospital after falling and not being found for 2 hrs. She lost alot of blood and needed a blood transfusion. She had a 5-6 inch gash in her head. Mom was asymptomatic covid pneumonia as well (One of the phone calls from Julie was mom came into contact with It). I firmly believe that with the weight that she lost and the amount of blood that she lost she had nothing left to fight. And to make matters worse when the head nurse called us the second day to talk with us, she didn't even have a report of what happened. She said the person who found mom went on vacation. (A report is MEANT to written the night of incident). We tried asking for video footage. Julie didn't even return that phone call for over a week and then said the video had been taped over. Let me tell you the facts. They have to keep footage, they just try to strong arm people with no regard for the life that they are supposed to be taking care of. Mom was like an animated doll in icu, and all of us kids we're there to listen to her take her last breath. My next phone call after mom died was a phone call to settle the bill oh and to say, "sorry for your loss". I see the 5 stars written this year. I haven't been back there since I went and picked up the report so I have no idea what the place is now, but I can bet the people writing the reviews didn't lose their parent after being neglected in a care home that was meant to take care of them read more

I was a patient there last year for three weeks with a broken shoulder-arm. I was very pleased with the care I received. The nursing assistants were the best. A couple of the LVNs were a little reluctant with the pain pills at first, just doing their job but eventually they were fine. Physical Therapy was excellent as well as being a fun place to socialize. The food was OK, I am a vegetarian and they did accommodate me, eventually getting more choices on the menu. I had the best roommates as well, we laughed until the wee hours of the morning and we are still friends and do lunches together. Looking back it was like going to old Age Summer Camp. A surprisingly enjoyable experience considering the cause. read more

I would give negative 5 star review if I could. Julie at ft desk is awesome! Sheila in PT seams great other than that the place is horrible! Don't let your loved ones go here! Horrible care and 0 communication!!!! read more

I would definitely recommend this facility it is by far one of the best. they will take care of all your needs. almost like you have your own team of angels looking after you. thx guys for the great help! you guys are awsome! read more

I've had both my great grandmother and grandmother stay here before and as a nursing assistant, myself, I have always been pleased with the pride the people working at this facility have. The nursing assistants and nurses are all informative, very nice, and extremely understanding and accommodating. The doctors are thorough and dedicated to helping each patient. You can tell that everyone working here genuinely cares about the clients and not about just making it through to the end of the week to get their paycheck. I also think that the food that they serve here is very tasty. Obviously things will taste different to meet different dietary needs, but both my great grandma and grandma raved about the food being cooked just right. The facility is immaculate in terms of cleanliness which says a lot about facilities of this nature. It is definitely well-kept and well-prepped for new clients entering the site. I definitely recommend this place. read more

My mother was a patient at this facility for about 2 weeks after having a quadruple bypass. The day nurses were wonderful an attentive to her needs. However, the night nurses were terrible. My mother fell out of her bed and rang for help; it took over 20 minutes for someone to come and assist her off of the floor. Two nurses saw her and passed by before the third nurse (who wasn't even in charge of my mom but thank god was a nice woman) helped her. She has also had to wait for help to use the restroom for over 1/2 a few times and soiled herself once due to this. There have also been incidences where the night nurses left urine and feces on the floor of the bathroom for several hours before cleaning. When my mother brought this issue up to the day staff, the were very amicable and concerned and helped. She was told that the night staff would get more training, but no staff changes would be made. We also had several issues with the billing administratives. She was initially told that her insurance was accepted and that she would only pay an $11 copayment/day. Then 2 weeks later, she was told that her insurance would not cover her any longer and that she would have to leave the next morning. My mother does not have any family in Fairfield. I live in Charleston and my brother in LA, so we had to frantically call places trying to secure a place for her to stay since we were only given 24 hr notice of her discharge. Very unprofessional. I called and was told a different name for her case manager 4 times and directed to their respective voicemails. They only reason I am giving this place even 3 stars is because the day nurses were very kind and helped my mother and kept her company when she really needed it. The physical therapist was also wonderful and helped her get back to walking quickly. But the night staff either needs more help if they are so busy that they leave a patient on the ground after falling off of the bed for 20 min, or they should be replaced. I understand that the insurance issue is not entirely their fault, but it would have been kind if they could have given us more than 24 hr notice to find my mom a new place especially since she has no family nearby. read more

Every time I visit my Mom for dinner I either get served something completely different from what I actually order (chicken pasta instead of grilled cheese) or something with random meat in it (turkey on grilled cheese) and have my ice cream, salad, drinks withheld. Can I just have my damn grilled cheese and cranberry juice so I don't have to watch my Mom eat all her food while I wait for them to get it together? Geez. My mom likes this place and I suppose that's what matters most. They do fun things for patients and have mostly friendly staff. Just... try not to eat the food. It reminds me of awful elementary school lunches. Ick! read more

Amazing place they took excellent care of my oldest and only sister, which is not an easy task.

Do not ever work here unless you really want to be taken advantage of as a woman. I started working here when I was just 20 years old in 2018, I was working through a registry but I was always scheduled here because they were short staffed. One day my coworker a man named Maurice started to say weird things to me, he said "oh you look very nice today" simple things through the shift, then while I was charting he came up to me a said "You know we can go out just the two of us and no body will know." Instantly I felt disgusted this man was about 20 years older than me and he was married. I was so shocked but I remember not wanting to make a scene because we were at work so I said, "No I'm ok." By the grace of god that's when a call light came on and gave me an excuse to get away. So then I told the DSD that was working at the time Kedishia, she asked me if she should talk to him about his behavior, I honestly didn't know at the time what the protocol was so I said "no I already told him no." Later on I had made friends with another CNA that was around my age because we went to the same high school and a girl that worked in maintenance that also went to my high school. They both told me that it wasn't his first time doing this and that he had made similar comments to them and also had asked them out and following them around the facility. Fast forward to a month later the director of the facility Joanne had called me into her office, I was not aware what it was about until she had told me that Kedishia had told her about the situation with Maurice. I was embarrassed because I thought I had did something wrong, she did a really good job of convincing me that I did too. She asked me if I had instigated his actions in anyways by leading him on or that I should have told him no differently because it was too friendly or that it was a language barrier because he spoke broken English. Instead of offering to look into these allegations and address him for making all of these girls uncomfortable she told me that their wasn't anything she could move forward with because I was a third party worker. Her solution was asking me if I wanted my company to send me to another facility, which I did not want to do because working at a different facility was like starting over so of course I said no and just asked if I could not get scheduled in the same area as him. I stepped out of that meeting feeling like nothing was solved and more embarrassed. For months he knew that we had came forward and said something because whenever he saw one of us he would have an angry look on his face and storm off, it made us really scared to work for a while, we would always have to look over our shoulder. One day my friend told me that he finally quit but that was because the director Joanne was harassing him to quit or so I was told. Later on is when I discovered that California law would have been in my favor and that I was in fact retaliated against by Ms. Joanne, unfortunately I was young and uninformed and was taken advantage of and the statue of limitations have passed my only hope in posting this review is that people will see it and think twice about letting it happen to them. read more

I really love the services this place offers but not too keen with the smell. Every day, walking up and down the hallways, I had to hold my breath because it smelled like urine. Aside from that, the staff was excellent! If they install deodorizers in the hallways, it wouldn't be so bad. I would recommend this place for your loved ones due to the excellent quality care and attention to your medical needs. read more

This is NOT a 5 star home. Our mom was staying with us going up & down stairs & taking care of herself. She got sepsis & hospitalized for 10 days. Fairfield was supposed to help her regain strength. She entered there weighing 110. This is according to the hospital because they did NOT weigh her like they said they would. Bathing & weight review was to be done regularly. NOT done. Her first bath was only after we requested multiple times & I got irritated. We kept asking them to give her a walker & they said they would but literally NEVER did. We finally brought hers, after making sure her name was all over it. After almost 4 wks, she ended up with C-Diff. They moved her to isolation, but not her belongings. When I asked Sarah, she was confused because SHE told them to move her stuff since it was unknown how long she'd be isolated. She would talk to the staff. Next day, 1 outfit & some undergarments. I then told the staff to get her things & watched them like children to make sure they actually did their job this time. I also got upset after finding out she had not been weighed & made them do that as well. She was 103! Sarah then told us that her intake & weight would be watched better. If necessary, they'd give her high calorie items. NEVER happened. She was moved back into her own room & then a few days later got COVID. Back into isolation & once again, no belongings. I spoke to Sarah & she said it was on the floor in her closet & to give her a couple of days. Per the facilities suggestion, we made an appt for a facetime visit. Didn't happen. When we called, we were told the 2 nurses there did not know how to work it. Talked to Sarah who said she'd take care of it. Next day, they just made the call, gave her the unit & left. She's hard of hearing & did not know how to adjust the volume. We gave up. It was so upsetting to her in every way. Half the time the phone wasn't even where she could get it. We'd have to call, TELL them to move it closer regularly. She was getting so upset that WE determined we'd bring her home. She got out of COVID on Saturday, Monday was go day. When we saw her Saturday, she came out CRYING! So overwhelmed & felt like slab of meat. She was in their gowns & their blankets just draped across her because she NEVER got her belongs, after 10 days! She told us, they just dumped her off on her bed & then threw these items on when we got there. I lost it. After yelling & informing them how unacceptable this all was, they "found" her items. BUT lost her walker. About another 30 minutes, we brought her back to her room. On her clean bed was the dirty box with all her stuff in it. Nothing put away. She was no longer able to stand, much less take care of this, so we did! Front desk Debbie had the nerve to get upset because we were in the room. She said, the nurse was going to do everything after we left. BULL SH**! She had no place to lay & the stuff was disgusting. Who does that? Then Debbie did us a HUGE favor. She gave us a new walker. That's not a favor, that's a replacement. Every time she was moved she felt as though she was just dumped off. They wouldn't' bring her glasses, clothes, hygiene, nothing! On Monday she was missing 1/2 her clothes. Maybe the walker is wearing them. Took her to an appt & had them weigh her. She was down to 99.2. We had to wheel her into the dr office because she couldn't stand, much less walk. Another week & they would have killed her. They didn't even know if she was still taking insulin when we picked her up. Had to go ask. She has now been home 3 days & her weight is 100.4, she's standing up on her own & walking with a walker. She is coherent, alert & NOT crying. She can read now too, as we make sure she has her glasses. You know, the basics! They didn't even wish her well. As if it was her fault SHE was treated like crap! We would bring in protein bars & drinks, not once did they help her with them. What the heck is wrong with you people that you can do this to someone? This should not be acceptable anywhere for any reason. Think about it. This is how they treated someone that needed minimal care with family members very involved. What about those that don't have family or can communicate effectively. This hell hole should be shut down or at least everyone fired. read more

Fortunately my sister survived the 3 days/nights here. Not a good experience. Smells like urine, no chairs at bedside provided, so people are left in bed all day, except if in their wheelchairs. No visitors in shared room, so with loved one in ICU just before hospital discharge, we could not check her condition and were very concerned sister was not well. Little information provided when asking for information on patient. Room was crowded w/ trip hazards. Very noisy at night in her hallway w/ no quiet times, and many TVs running into late hours and unable to sleep. permanent and unable to tell if others healthy enough for rehab.. Most residents ar Limited physical therapy (30 min a day) provided, which was the reason for needing facility after hospital care. Very poor discharge education, no phone number for home health agency or info on how to access. Nurse gave limited number of antibiotic pills, and Rx not called in for remainder needed. Sent home with shots and drawing up heparin from vials, no experience at this, no teaching. We are having a hard time with managing sister's case and inadequate nursing plan at discharge. Don't go here is you have any other choices. 4 days and 3 nights with no improvement, now 24/7 care by family at home and trying to pull her through. May end up back in ER. :( read more
