Fairview Care Center

Nestled in the heart of Dodge Center, Minnesota, Fairview Care Center provides dedicated skilled nursing care to seniors in the surrounding Dodge County community. Operated by Dodge County government, Fairview reflects a deep civic commitment to ensuring local residents receive high-quality, compassionate long-term care without having to leave the community they've called home for decades. Fairview Care Center is ideally situated for families throughout southeastern Minnesota. Rochester — home to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, one of the most advanced medical centers in the United States — is approximately 30 miles to the west along U.S. Highway 14, giving residents and their families access to exceptional specialty healthcare when needed. Olmsted Medical Center in Rochester also serves as a regional resource for specialist referrals and consultations. Dodge Center itself is a welcoming small town where seniors can feel genuinely at home. The historic city of Mantorville, the Dodge County seat just a short drive away, offers charming 19th-century limestone architecture, the Dodge County Historical Society Museum, and the beloved Hubbell House restaurant — one of Minnesota's oldest continuously operating restaurants — making it a lovely destination for family outings and afternoon drives. The scenic Zumbro River winds through the region, offering peaceful natural beauty that the area's residents have long cherished. For everyday needs, Dodge Center's local businesses, pharmacy, and community services keep life convenient, while Rochester's broader shopping, dining, and entertainment options — including Apache Mall and a wide range of restaurants — are easily accessible for family visits. As a county-operated facility, Fairview Care Center is accountable to the residents of Dodge County and held to rigorous public standards of care. The staff work collaboratively with families and the local healthcare network to deliver individualized skilled nursing services, from post-acute rehabilitation to long-term residential care.
