Have A Look Around

The State Street entrance to Fairview Manor has a dedicated parking area for 15 vehicles. Entrance doors are equipped with a security system to protect residents’ safety. The Great Room has a double-sided gas fireplace, piano, library, computer workstations and Worship Room for church services.

Fairview Manor has four home units, two on each floor. Each home unit has 28 residents. The Garden Walk and Maple Grove Units are on the first floor. The Old Mill Place and Heritage House Units are on the second floor. In addition to residents’ rooms, each home unit has its own dining room, living room, activity room, kitchenette, spa room, and nursing care centre.

Residents are encouraged to make their rooms as home-like as possible. To ensure safety, we do ask residents to talk to staff about any changes to their rooms and furnishings. There are 40 private rooms, each with its own washroom. All other rooms have two beds each and a shared washroom. These rooms have a large vestibule and a dividing wall that extends about three-quarters of the room’s width, affording more privacy and providing space for two large closets. Call buttons are located in every bedroom and washroom. When a resident calls for assistance, the signal goes directly—and quietly—to communication devices carried by staff.

All resident rooms have air conditioning. Bedroom windows are equipped with roller blinds. Each window also has a pane that opens, letting in fresh air. Each bedroom has a large washroom with a sliding door, making it easy to enter with a wheelchair or walker. There are safety bars beside each toilet and grab bars on every wall, to maximize safety. On the wall outside the door to each bedroom is a memory box with a lockable glass door. The memory boxes display residents’ photos and other keepsakes.

The second-floor Therapy Room at Fairview Manor houses Allied Health Services including Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy. It offers a space for supervised exercise programs to be carried out as directed by a physiotherapist, including the use of exercise machines, transferring and walking practice, and balance and/or strength training. Occupational Therapy staff use this space to conduct mobility device assessments, repairs and prescriptions. 

The beautifully landscaped courtyard has raised flowerbeds and a covered gazebo equipped with electricity, water and natural gas, permitting residents to listen to music and enjoy barbecues and other outdoor activities. Part of the courtyard is secure, so that residents with memory loss can enjoy it safely.

Residents dine at tables of four. The dining rooms open to patios on the ground floor and to wide balconies on the second floor, permitting residents to eat outside on nice days. Each living room is furnished with comfortable seating. Each one also has an electric fireplace, TV and entertainment unit, providing a comfortable place for residents to socialize. Activity rooms in each home unit have a fridge, stove and microwave for baking, canning crafts and other activities. Spa rooms have modern tub and shower equipment, making bathing safe and easy.
