Fairborn Assisted Living sits in a quiet residential area at 2270 Park Hills Drive in Fairborn, Ohio, near green parks and local shops like The Mall at Fairfield Commons and University Shoppes, and it's pretty close to places like Dayton, Beavercreek, Huber Heights, and Yellow Springs, so residents can easily get out and about for errands, outings, or a nice lunch. The community offers both assisted living and a dedicated Memory Care Wing, so folks who need different levels of support, like help with bathing, dressing, medication, or dealing with memory issues like Alzheimer's and dementia, can get what they need while staying in familiar surroundings, with the staff focusing a lot on keeping everyone's dignity, privacy, and independence at the front of things. The staff includes nurses, personal care assistants, therapists, and a doctor on call, and there's always someone around, day or night, to give reminders or help with daily care, which makes life easier especially when a resident's needs change, and there's behavioral care available for those who need special attention.
Residents can pick from room types like private suites or companion rooms with kitchenettes and accessible bathrooms fitted with walk-in showers and safety rails, plus they can bring pets if they want some company, since dogs and cats are allowed. The Memory Care area stands on its own, with secure doors, technology like bracelets that set off alarms if someone tries to leave, and calm lounges with fireplaces; caregivers working there know how to handle wandering, incontinence, and behaviors that can go along with dementia. Salon services, a dedicated Memory Care salon, and beautician services provide grooming and personal care, while accessible features in both common and private areas make moving around safer and simpler for everyone, including people who need mechanical lifts or assistance with transfers.
For meals, Fairborn Assisted Living serves chef-prepared, home-style food in spacious dining rooms filled with natural light, and residents can choose to eat with others or in their own rooms; menus are made with nutrition and local favorites in mind. Housekeeping and laundry get taken care of, and there's regular transportation if residents want to head out or if family comes for a visit, with resident and guest parking on site. There's Wi-Fi and cable TV in the rooms, so people can keep up with news or family, and the indoor areas have fireplaces and comfortable furniture, making it easy to gather and relax.
Community life stays busy with daily activities planned by a full-time activity director such as bingo, crafts, exercise classes, bible study, stretching, Tai Chi, karaoke, Wii Bowling, and wine tasting. Residents also take part in community service, educational lectures, and field trips, so no two days are quite the same, and memory support programs like Artistry of Moments help residents with cognitive needs find comfort and connection. There's always some kind of event, whether it's live entertainment or social gatherings out on the covered patios that have rocking chairs and garden views.
Fairborn Assisted Living accepts Medicaid, offers respite stays as short as two days, and covers things like nursing, rehab, home health, and adult day care, plus it has full state licensing. Staff and management support families with educational material and seminars about Medicaid, nursing home planning, and elder law topics like advance directives and trusts, and there's always someone ready to answer questions about planning ahead. The staff has a reputation for being helpful and friendly, and people say the community feels safe, loving, and homey, with a healthy sense of belonging among residents, families, and staff. Fairborn Assisted Living, now under new ownership after being Wickshire Senior Living, aims to give every resident a safe place to stay, maintain independence as much as possible, and let everyone enjoy a good meal, clean room, and social life along the way.
