The Odd Fellows Home of CT has provided quality health care since 1892. As a financially secure, non-profit organization, Thames Edge at Fairviews’ financial goals are not driven by the need to return profits to investors. Instead, we seek to make continuous improvements to the programs, living environments, and services we provide to our residents.

Yes, Fairview is a Medicare/Medicaid-certified facility.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services developed a rating system for nursing homes in 2009. The stars are based on the following ratings that are broken down into four areas: The overall rating, health inspection surveys, quality measures and staffing information.

Fairview is one of only thirty-five facilities in the entire country to have achieved a five-star rating across all CMS quality measurement segments. The rating can be seen online at www.medicare.gov under the link nursing home compare. A five-star rating means much above average. Only the top 10% of nursing homes in the State of Connecticut are eligible for the five-star rating. Fairview has maintained five-star overall quality since January of 2009!
