I think all 7 categories meet the mark, but they should, since this an upscale facility and more costly than others. The staff is terrific. My wife has difficult Lewy body dementia and the facility does well. I'm happy with it.
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.
I have lived at Vantage Place for 9 years. Ithas been my privilege to serve on various resident committees I am very appreciative of the made from scratch meals that are served daily in our dining facilities. Daily specials included a choice of clear broth or a cream soup, several salads, a special meat or fish choice daily, in addition to choices from a seasonal menu. It is my habit to photograph dinners and send a note of thanks to the entire kitchen staff. Here is my review . “ Dinner on Tuesday evening: I neglected to take a picture of last night’s dinner. Shame on me. I am writing for a table of 6. We all had the Maryland Crab soup, Beef Tips with Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms, and the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. What a winner! Please try it again. Only constructive suggestion might be to include noodles or a starch with it. All those I talked to today were delighted with that meal!” In response to the reviews, the meal was added to the menu - with rice!
