Fairhaven is a not-for-profit, faith-based, continuum of care community that offers maintenance free living in independent apartments and duplexes. Fairhaven also offers supportive living (similar to assisted living) and a health center for individuals that need more care on a day-to-day basis. Fairhaven provides a comprehensive approach to aging that encourages independence and helps manage health care when assistance becomes necessary. Additionally, we value the importance of offering choices for social engagement in one location.
For some seniors, being pro-active and planning for their future comes easily. They make it a priority to ensure that they are involved in these decisions. However, for many the thought of leaving home feels emotionally overwhelming or a medical emergency does not allow you to safely return home. Whether you see change as an adventure or struggle with change, moving to Fairhaven can provide you with safety, comfort, and peace.
- Aging in Place: The ability to remain in the same community as your health needs evolve eliminates the stress of relocating to a new facility if a medical need arises.
- On-Site Services: Getting the right care at the right time is important as the outcome minimizes hospital stays and produces more timely intervention when emergencies occur.
- Monitoring: Because staff see residents in their living setting, they can more easily detect subtle shifts in appetite, mood, or mobility that may signal emerging health issues.
Health Center
Fairhaven offers a complete health center for those individuals that need more than supportive care (assisted living). While we offer this level of care to our current residents that may need more care, we also offer this level of care to people in the greater Rockford (and beyond) community.
We are pleased to tell you that we offer the following services to all levels of care within our community:
- Worship services, devotions, bible studies, hymn sings and prayer groups
- Fitness classes, art projects, crafts, board games, book clubs, musical performances, social gatherings and outings to local destinations.
- Dining services for all meals that offer various nutritionally balanced and delicious entrées. You even have several choices depending on what you would like to eat that day.
- Beautiful walking paths, an outdoor pavilion, and mobile libraries within two outdoor gazebos let us show off the beauty of God’s surroundings.
Social & Emotional Advantages
Socialization & Family
If you move from independent living to a level of more care, you remain close to your existing friends and neighbors. We like to say that “opportunities are outside your door”. You can be as connected as you wish while also enjoying the privacy of your personal living space. Fairhaven is truly a family of it’s own.
Support for Couples
Having all living options in the same location is ideal for couples with differing health needs; one spouse can receive specialized nursing while the other can remain in independent living nearby on the same campus. At Fairhaven most levels of care are “under the same roof” and only a hallway away.
Financial & Logistical Security
Life Care
Residents and families feel secure in knowing that even in the event you
need higher care or are not able to privately pay, Fairhaven remains your home.
Peace of Mind & Priority Care
Family members and residents are confident knowing that future care needs are already anticipated and that medical intervention or higher quality care is available at all times.
Non-Solicit & Locked Entry
With the uncertainties of today’s society, being in a community that does not allow solicitors to go door-to-door or take advantage of our residents is important. Additionally, Fairhaven’s main building is locked from outside entry and monitored by a security guard.
For nearly six decades, Fairhaven Christian Retirement Center has been a place where our residents feel valued, respected and truly connected. With a variety of living options, a steadfast commitment to care and a welcoming environment. Fairhaven provides peace of mind for both residents and their families.
