Fairwinds – River’s Edge offers an Independent Living setting that can also support residents with mild dementia. Residents manage their day-to-day routines with the reassurance that staff and a therapy room are on site to address rehabilitation or monitoring needs that may arise. The goal is to maintain autonomy while providing enough structure and oversight to help those who have early memory-loss challenges stay engaged and safe.
Care features are reinforced by 24-hour staffing, background-checked employees, and a security system that includes personal emergency response stations linking directly to on-site staff. Assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting for residents who need occasional hands-on help with self-care. Team members are trained to manage transfers using walkers or wheelchairs, reducing fall risk and supporting mobility. The dedicated therapy room allows outside therapists or visiting clinicians to deliver treatment without residents having to leave the building.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, in-unit laundry, independent temperature controls, cable service, and scheduled housekeeping or laundry. Housekeeping for Independent Living residents is offered on a routine basis, and scheduled laundry services are available for those who prefer not to use their in-unit machines.
Dining is structured around a monthly meal plan tailored for Independent Living. Residents who like to cook can do so in their kitchenettes, while the community dining room provides prepared meals and a social setting for those who prefer not to shop or cook daily. Flexible scheduling and menu choices let residents mix home-prepared options with community dining as their preferences change.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a pool, wellness center, exercise room, movie room, library, communal gardens, and special-interest clubs. Additional conveniences range from a barber/beauty shop and concierge desk to on-site religious services and reliable internet access. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation covers local errands and medical appointments, and a shuttle service is available for healthcare visits.
