Fairmont Senior Living of Farmington Hills
Personalized Senior Care for Meaningful Living

Fairmont Senior Living of Farmington Hills is built on the belief that every senior deserves to live with dignity, purpose and comfort. It creates a community where all residents, including those living with dementia, are welcomed with compassion and empowered to thrive.

Its foundation is the Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle, an evidence-based approach that helps residents maintain independence by encouraging meaningful choices, personalized activities and daily routines that reflect individual abilities. Montessori-based activities also support brain function and cognitive health, giving memory care residents opportunities for stimulation and growth. This is complemented by on-site physical and occupational therapy and 24-hour clinical care, ensuring residents receive holistic support.

“Our goal is to make every day meaningful, giving residents comfort in an environment that feels like home,” says Tamara Levites, executive director.

Guiding this approach is an experienced leadership team with more than 20 years in the senior living field. Their expertise and compassion ensure that every program and care decision supports resident well-being. By fostering a culture of listening and adapting programs to residents and employees alike, they have created a responsive environment that has earned the community the Silver Credential in Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle from the Center for Applied Research in Dementia.

Care Centered on Strengths, Identity and Well-Being

Families searching for senior living options often face the difficulty of finding communities equipped to manage high-acuity residents. Alongside this, seniors and their loved ones often worry about losing autonomy, purpose and identity in a care environment. The challenge lies in providing not just a safe place to live but a community where seniors, regardless of condition, can remain engaged, valued and respected. Fairmont Senior Living of Farmington Hills was established to address these needs.

Each resident’s journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation, whether they are seeking assistance with daily living or living with memory challenges. Assisted living residents receive support with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, medication management or mobility while also benefiting from social engagement and shared meals. For memory care residents, the approach goes further, incorporating an understanding of personal history, routines and cognitive needs.

From this evaluation, the team develops personalized programs and routines that reflect each resident’s strengths and preferences. The same philosophy guides the memory care team, ensuring individuals retain meaningful choices and a sense of control in their daily lives.

By keeping the memory care community intentionally small, with about 21 beds, the environment remains family-like, where staff and residents know each other well and attentive support is always close at hand. The goal is to help residents remain in control by making their own choices while the team designs safe programs around those decisions.

When one resident believed she was still at her workplace, the team didn’t correct her. Instead, they built a program around her professional life, giving her meaningful tasks that honored her past identity. By turning confusion into comfort, they helped her reclaim purpose and daily engagement. Families often share that this approach gives them peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are supported in ways that preserve their dignity and individuality.

Families can also find the same level of care at Fairmont’s sister communities in Northville, Clayton, Washington Township and Westlake.

At its heart, Fairmont Senior Living of Farmington Hills is not simply a place to receive care but a place to belong. By combining clinical expertise with a nurturing, family-like environment, it enables seniors to live safely and meaningfully while giving families confidence that their loved ones are truly at home.
