I found the sales dir very knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. All staff that I encountered were cheerful. The residents looked happy and well taken care off. The outside quiet spaces are very nice, as well as, the inside. It is not extravagant, but beautiful. The menu looked delicious. It is a great place for the price. I’ve toured other facilities and this is my #1 choice.

Our Family's Experience After 1 year.

My aunt loves where she is and has made some good friends. When given the option to move, she chose to stay put. The facility itself is very clean, however, sometimes my aunts room needs a better or extra cleaning, especially if she's had an accident. My only complaints with care are (1) that there sometimes seems to be a failure to communicate between physician and patient and patient's family; and (2) meds are sometimes late, especially on weekends. I think it's that way anytime contract staff is used, which is typically on weekends. I've seen much worse at other facilities. I believe my aunt would give them a 4 for food h/e she has always been hard to please in a restaurant environment. Embarrassingly so. They have wonderful seasonal/holiday programs with resident participation and they take their more mobile residents out to eat occasionally, which my aunt enjoys. Compared to other facilities we looked at, Forest Heights is a very good value for the money.

Best place we visited

Out of three different places we visited today Forest Heights was the best fit for my sister in law’s needs. The facility is sparkling clean with very friendly residents and employees offering a five star dining, extensive activities program, four levels of care and on-site rehabilitation center. Before finishing our tour we knew we had found the right place. [name removed] is the sales director who gave us the tour and answered all our questions, very helpful, friendly and professional.

Review for Forest Heights

We picked this community because, one being the fact that the L/C fee was independent of the Med fee. My loved one is not on any medication so therefore she's not paying for medication to be administered and that lowers the cost. The second reason is that the community is very close to where I live. I have visited to check on things almost every day. That's how I know how poorly things are being handled there.

Forest Heights has been a good place for my 86-year old aunt recovering from a broken femur. Rehab has been excellent. She especially enjoys the resident exercise classes. The staff has been both encouraging and supportive in her quest to get better and get out of her wheelchair! This is a good facility and the fees are in-line or lower than other similar facilities.

needs improvement

We like the facility location, the nice building, and his room. When food is delivered to his room it is cold. They need hot plate covers like memory care has instead just plastic wrap. Understaffed OR the staff takes too many breaks OR spends too much time playing on their cellphone. My dad presses his button and waits over an hour for someone to come help him. They need cameras in the common areas and the nurses stations for accountability. When dad qualifies for VA aid and attendance, then he may be able to afford [name removed].

Friendly, clean. Memory care only,

Dad got sick, a virus, which could happen to anyone. As he had diarrhea for 5 hours, I was cleaning and caring for him. I am not sure why no one helped me, except to bring me gloves and bath sheets. He was so sick he had to be transported to ER. He was in hospital 6 days. He did not want to go back!!!!!

Not good nursing care

There has been changes. There is a new head of nursing. My loved one is eating well. It takes them a long time, to respond to the call light. The nursing care has been terrible. Overall, they need to improve on their communication in the billng department. The overall care is terrible. I have not been pleased.
