Community Reviews
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.
Perfect!

Everything Is Great
reviewed on: 07/25/2015 by AnonymousEverything is going great, my parents are very happy there. It is nice having the doctor there so they can see him and are not rushing out all the time. Also having the medication there, it is delivered so they are not leaving to go get that.
Friendly Staff!!
reviewed on: 07/21/2017 by AnonymousI have no complaints of how things went during my tour of this community. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions we had for them in detail. The property was clean and they had a lot of great amenities for the residents. Overall it was a great place just not the right location for my mother in the end decision.
