From the first day of admittance, until his final passing, Esther's Place delivered excellent care for my 96 yr old Brother in law who suffered from Alzheimers & other medical issues. The high level of competence, caring & attention all within a great budget.. I highly recommend Esther's Place to anyone looking to have their loved one cared for in a loving atmosphere..
My sister has lived at Forest Hills in the Health Care Center for a while. Before the pandemic, they had wonderful activities as well as great nursing care. In the pandemic they have done an incredible job to keep everyone safe, to figure out ways to have safe activities and/or virtual or safe visitation zones (following CDC guidelines). The staff is working under challenging circumstances and they continue to be kind, patient and deliver high quality care. We are so very grateful my sister can live in such a great facility.
The facility ca be described as a detached home that has been very tastefully refurbished and decorated. My family and I were impressed with the cleanliness, the furniture (brand new) and it has all of the up to date amenities. Mr. Benjamin has been very kind, respectful and patient with my family and my brother Melvin. His assistants have all followed his example. I have access to my brother with just a telephone call and I have been allowed on several weekends to bring him home with me for a day. The staff is very conscientious in giving my brother his medications and taking care of his other needs. They are extremely polite and patient with my brother. He's stated on more than one occasion that he's being treated very well. I hope my brother continues to enjoy his stay at Divine Care and I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to anyone.
