A full range of high quality programs are provided with the caring expertise of a dedicated, multi-disciplinary, team, responding to the unique needs and wishes of our residents.
All members of our Community are advocates for all those who live and work here.
Fairmount Vision Statement
In response to changing needs of residents and the community, we will continue to develop and implement innovative “best practices” and programs. We will continue to foster and grow an environment of mutual respect for residents and all members of our caring community.
We will promote the principles and practices of Continuous Quality Improvement for all aspects of Fairmount’s caring community, and we will maintain the ethical balance between innovation and resident choice, safety and risk management.
Building on the foundation of strong relationships, Fairmount will seek to increase the involvement of the wider community by bringing our citizens into Fairmount through the sharing of our expertise, our location, and our excellent programming. Fairmount will also reach out into the wider community as a leader and participant, sharing its knowledge and resources to plan and implement activities that will improve the lives of the elderly throughout the entire area.
