Fernley Estates is a 72-bed senior living community offering assisted living and memory care at 1130 Chisholm Trail in Fernley, Nevada, licensed as a Residential Facility for Groups by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services since July 9, 2014. With 11 years of operational history, the facility has established presence in the region. Currently, 49 of 72 beds are occupied, representing a 68% occupancy rate consistent with Nevada state averages and an average daily census of 92 residents. Three confirmed amenities include comfortable living spaces, freshly prepared meals, and engaging programs.
Fernley Estates provides assisted living and memory care services emphasizing personalized care and enriching activities within its 72-bed structure. The facility operates in a warm, supportive environment designed to enhance residents’ quality of life.
Regulatory oversight of Fernley Estates falls to the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance. The facility has received 16 inspections compared to a Nevada state average of 21. The most recent inspection, an annual survey on July 9, 2024, identified 99 deficiencies, substantially exceeding the Nevada average of 62. Those deficiencies involved timely CPR training, medication administration, tuberculosis screening documentation, activities of daily living assessments, nondiscrimination policy statements, and physician placement determinations for residents with dementia. Earlier inspections documented recurring pattern issues involving staff training deficiencies across CPR, elder abuse awareness, and dementia care; medication management and administration failures; tuberculosis testing gaps; and assessment and placement challenges. Complaint investigations were largely unsubstantiated, except for a 2021 regrading complaint investigation that resulted in a grade of A while identifying deficiencies in training, personnel files, and safety measures. No enforcement actions or fines appear in available reports. The facility’s inspection grades have fluctuated across the 11-year history with some improvement in training and documentation noted in intermediate years, though the July 2024 inspection shows 99 deficiencies indicating persistent operational challenges without clear sustained improvement trajectory.
The community is situated 1.6 miles from downtown Fernley with access to hospitals, pharmacies, and services.
Families evaluating Fernley Estates for assisted living or memory care should ask administrators directly about CPR training completion and recertification schedules, current medication administration verification procedures and oversight, dementia-specific physician placement protocols, and what corrective actions have been undertaken in response to the July 2024 inspection findings identifying 99 deficiencies.
