Fairhaven Senior Services in Whitewater, WI

We're very happy here. They are very accommodating and there are a lot of things to do. They take you shopping if you need to, although I have my own car, so I don't need to do that. I may have to ask them for a trip in the future, and they do that once a week.

It's going okay. There have been a few issues with medication management. I think think it's clean and friendly, they are attentive. The other residents are very quiet. They don't have a ton of activities, and most of them are in the morning, but I think the activities are okay.
