Fairview Manor

Fairview Manor sits on 255 F-Jefferson Street in Fairmont, Nebraska, and serves the area as a city-owned, not-for-profit nursing home that's been caring for people since 1973, offering a home-style, intimate setting for up to 27 seniors with both private and semi-private rooms, and when you walk through the place you'll see there's a real focus on helping folks keep their independence while still getting plenty of care because they offer assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, respite, hospice, and memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other cognitive problems, and their nursing staff keeps a caregiver to resident ratio of about 1 to 2 or 3 in the residential areas, so people usually don't have to wait long for help. They accommodate a wide range of needs, from folks who are quite independent to those needing more support with medication management, daily activities like bathing and dressing, or special diets for diabetes or high blood pressure, and if someone enjoys activities, they do a lot with crafts, music, animal and art therapy, movie nights, social games, and exercise classes, and there are regular trips for errands, doctor visits, church, and outings with transportation provided by the staff. Fairview Manor includes pools, saunas, a spa, outdoor sitting areas, book room, and places for haircuts with a mobile hairdresser or barber, plus communal spaces for music, eating, and recreation, and you'll find they serve three homemade meals a day and can make adjustments for dietary needs. There's a secure memory care section for people who wander or need close supervision, and folks living there have some say in how their days go, with an emphasis on letting residents choose their schedules or join in unique events and wellness programs if they like, since the staff tries to make it comfortable and as home-like and flexible as possible, helping with personal routines but not taking away more independence than needed. Since they're licensed by the State of Nebraska to provide assisted living care, and have been working on making culture changes so that life there feels less like a facility and more like a proper home, Fairview Manor's management and staff seem to genuinely care about the well-being and dignity of their residents, working to give everyone chances to stay engaged, relax, or be active, no matter their needs.
