About this facility
Flesher’s Fairview Health Care Center is a 120-bed, Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility on Cane Creek Road in Fairview, and it is notable as a third-generation, family-owned and operated long-term care center. The Flesher family opened it as a 42-bed rest home in 1964, and it grew into a full skilled nursing facility by the early 1990s. That continuity is unusual in an industry now dominated by regional chains.
It delivers skilled nursing including post-acute rehabilitation, wound care, and long-term nursing for residents with complex needs. Rehabilitation is handled in-house by full-time physical, occupational, and speech therapists. The health care center shares the Flesher’s campus with the organization’s assisted living rest home, so different levels of care are available in one place.
