Fair Oaks Estates

Fair Oaks Estates sits at Fair Oaks Blvd and San Juan Ave on four acres of land, and it's a single-story, locally owned senior community with a gated environment for both assisted living and memory care residents, which does help people who have trouble with stairs, and you'll notice the layout keeps things pretty simple with smaller, tidy rooms, sometimes just one big room with a bath, and the closets run small, too, but that can keep the place from feeling cluttered. You get a choice of private living spaces or bedrooms, and some have kitchenettes, and there are shared studio apartments with views of the landscaping and courtyards, but some folks say the rooms look a bit dated, though the main restroom stands out as being more modern and well kept, according to reviews. The place covers the basics with services like assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, respite care, and hospice support, so people with different needs get a range of help, including personal assistance for bathing, dressing, medication, and housework like laundry and housekeeping. The staff have a good reputation for being friendly, joyful, helpful, and courteous, and they take the time to get to know everyone, which makes for a welcoming place to live, and there's 24/7 care all year long, with an emergency alert system for safety, and a secured wing for those who need more protection for their memory-related conditions. When it comes to eating, you get three meals and snacks each day in a dining area, though it's mentioned that the food choices might be limited and people might want more variety, but meals are planned with nutrition in mind, and chefs handle the cooking with as much attention to taste and ingredients as possible, and if you need help eating, the staff can help with that, too. Residents don't have to worry about things like housekeeping, laundry, or getting to doctor and dentist appointments because the staff manage all of that, and their transportation bus helps people get around, plus there's a beauty salon, a gym, a library, community and activity rooms, a chapel, and a secure courtyard, with daily activities for keeping up social, physical, mental, and emotional engagement. Some people have noted that alcohol is accessible on site, and that can be a matter of concern for some families thinking about control and safety. Fair Oaks Estates makes care plans that fit each person, offers expert senior living advisors for support with care decisions, and all utilities-except for phone and internet, which are optional-are included. The community has received awards for care and resident satisfaction. While its rooms may feel simple and a little out of date and closets don't offer lots of storage, Fair Oaks Estates stays focused on providing a safe setting, friendly support, and the basics that help seniors with daily life.
