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.
Still adjusting...
reviewed on: 04/20/2017 by AnonymousEverything is going fine for my mother so far since her move into forest Ridge. It is still very early to give a good review. The staff has been very nice.
They go above and beyond.
reviewed on: 07/02/2015 by AnonymousI find them to be very accommodating. They go out of their way to help people. They go above and beyond. They are very nice. The facility is very nice as well. It's always clean and well kept. The value is excellent. They offer various activities. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice place for their parents. I can't rate the care services because my loved one doesn't require it. It is not applicable.
3 stars
reviewed on: 05/18/2015 by AnonymousI did have one concern. We're finding out that my mother needs meals and they said we have to sign up ahead of time. We realized it wasn't good for us. I wasn't too happy about that. We are going address that to them this week. Other than that, The facility is very clean. The residents are friendly and welcoming. My overall rating of this property is 3 stars. I hope they are able to resolve this concern.
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.
