The place was awesome, it's fantastic!
reviewed on: 01/10/2014 by Linda CefaluThe place was awesome, it's fantastic! It is an absolutely wonderful place. The place is extremely clean and at least twice a month they provide transportation to and from outings. She didn't want to go there but she has adjusted very well. They are all in one building the laundry and cafeteria, her hairdresser is in the same building, even a little store inside. She doesn't have to leave the building to do any of her day to day things and this takes a huge weight off of my shoulders. Mary the manager there is very quick to let me know what's going on with her. We love it! I would move there myself one day.
Good facility--a few lessons learned
reviewed on: 08/18/2015 by AnonymousWe had trouble getting the phone connected. AT&T was delayed by several days-but it turned out that Forrest Ridge was the cause of the non-connection. Would recommend that the phone wiring be checked ahead of time if moving a senior into this facility. There seems to be a disconnect in providing 'introductory assistance' to new residences. We were hoping that our Mom would have been guided by either a staff member or a current resident to help her find out the activities and amenities offered here. Maybe offering a DVD showing the facilities and locations within it would be helpful. The room is fine, clean and all appliances were working well. Would recommend having a microwave option for residents. The grounds are well kept and secure. Some of the residents apartments are quite a walk from the dining room and lobby. For people that have trouble or need assistance walking, would recommend the use of cane and walkers.
Great Activities
reviewed on: 11/11/2013 by Healthcare ProfessionalIt's wonderful. I have been there several times. The atmosphere is great. She has a physical handicap but she is in independent living, and she has her own apartment. There are a lot of activities like cards, Wii bowling, etc. There is a big spacey area that everyone can get together an do activities.
