September 1, 2024Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!
The facility and the staff were great. Unfortunately when we moved my mother-in-law to Foulk we were told that when the time came for her to go on Medicaid she would be moved to skilled nursing. However the time came, and the social worker called us 2 months after they were notified that we filed, and told us that they had a long waiting list for skilled nursing, and therefore we needed to move her. We had to scramble to find a facility with a Medicaid bed available.

August 31, 2024We appreciate you taking the time to leave us this feedback. Feel free to reach out to us if you need anything. Have a wonderful day.
This being my first time rehabbing outside of a hospital setting, I was fortunate in finding a fully staffed facility that featured professional care with a very caring attitude . Everyone has been wonderful especially two aides that were assigned to me, one being [name removed] and the other one being [name removed]. They made me feel very comfortable, and treated me like I was super star. From what I gathered from other residents, their primary aides made them feel as I did. The individuals who work with my PT were extremely thorough and very caring. And the food is good too! I would certainly recommend this facility to all.

August 31, 2024Marc, we really appreciate your feedback! We're glad to hear we delivered such a great experience. If there's anything further we can do for you, we are happy to help!
5 stars all around!! I feel my Mom is safe... I'm less stressed not having to go almost everyday to check on her.

The staff are super friendly and always positively greet the resident and their family. I haven't encountered a person who hasn't had a smile on their face. They seem to get along with one another very well. The move in process was fair, no "welcome committee" but we figured it all out. The food and staff are excellent. I would certainly recommend this facility to others.

When it comes to the activities we gave that an overall 3 out of 5 because there is not enough that goes into the evenings. The activities stop early unless there is a happy hour. We absolutely love the the distance this community is from my house! About place the aides. They have been SUPER understanding and supportive to me and they like mom.

We toured Foulk Living when searching for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. Our tour was very good. This facility was great. The atmosphere, cleanliness, friendliness, and our tour guide were all great.
I enjoy the Foulk Living community. The staff is warm and friendly and very professional in their dealings with residents. I have been here three years, most during the Pandemic, and the staff was diligent in keeping us safe as possible. The residents are also enjoyable. We have a lot of activities and enjoyable outside entertainment that comes frequently to add to our fun. Also, if I ever need it, there is wonderful healthcare. And, to whom it may be important, Foulk Living is in a very good location, close to everything that is important to me. I still drive; however, there is professional transportation to take residents to appointments and shopping, etc. All in all, Foulk Living is a big bang for the buck!

Faulk Manor is going through renovations. They are understaffed and communication with them is poor. Nevertheless we put mom here. She is in memory care. One day we called to let them know we were having lunch with mom that day. When we arrived we let the staff know that we called ahead and we were seated in the dining room with mom. A few minutes later we were asked to leave because apparently we were seated in the wrong place and they didn't have enough food for us. We found that experience to be incredibly rude. On another day we took mom down to a musical activity on the 1st floor. The activity was cancelled because of lack of attendance.

Foulk Manor gave us a great tour - they showed us around the whole facility and answered all of our questions that we had. I was not overly impressed with the facility itself, it just want not going to be the right fit for my loved one. The staff were great with following up with us after the tour as well.
The building is older and could use some updating. The staff are great and they were great and attentive. The staff and community were there when I needed them. The check in and check out process was good. The staff were very receptive to communications with the family to check in on our loved one. They do have the ability to offer physical therapy if the resident needs it and isn't receiving it elsewhere.

This is a nice community. There has been some struggles with staffing; however, they are doing the best they can with the staffing they have. They seem to really care about the residents. There are games, bingo, charades, happy hour, music, outside musicians. arts and crafts, and more are some of the activities offered.

October 5, 2021Thanks for your review J H! Our team treats all our residents as though they are family and we are glad to see that come through in your impressions of Foulk Manor North. We appreciate you mentioning some of the many programs we offer and hope that your loved one is enjoying them all!
The place was kind of run-down. They show us an unfinished cottage and the parking was just to far for my mom.
Response from Foulk Living
October 5, 2021Thank you for taking the time to visit with us. We're sorry you did not feel the amazing vibe when you were with us, and would invite you back to meet some of our wonderful residents and see some other apartment options for your mom in our main building. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
I like that I have an independent cottage where I could bring my dogs, which was hard to find. There's a dog park right next door and a library, which is nice. Some things about independent living are frustrating. For instance, they're not able to things like take your blood pressure. Activities are getting better, considering the pandemic. They can be evasive/vague with communication to the residents. They've also seemed unconcerned with a common area porch that needs attention. There are things they say they'll do that are not done on time. The food is lacking in variety - chicken pretty much every night, and they give fancy titles to ordinary dishes. They do have a residential council meeting each month where the residents can voice their concerns. But I don't feel like any of the residents actually do voice their concerns.

September 27, 2021Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback on living at Foulk Manor North. I am the Executive Director and encourage you -- and your neighbors -- to attend the resident council meetings as it is a valuable way for us to hear what is on people’s minds. Additionally I would welcome the chance to sit down and talk with you personally as the health, happiness and safety of our residents is critical to us. Please stop by my office when you get a chance as my door is always open.
Our family had a virtual tour, and while our experience was good and nothing stood out as negative or had red flags, our loved one just like the aesthetics and layouts of the rooms more at another community.
Response from Foulk Living
July 22, 2021Thanks for visiting us virtually and we're glad you had a good tour experience. We invite you to come see us in person, as we'd love the chance to get to know you and your loved one and have you experience the wonderful vibe around our community. Please give us a call to set up your personal in-person tour, and let us know if we can be of any additional assistance in your search for senior living options.
The staff are attentive and they call with any concerns about my loved one. They even called me to keep me updated on progress of my loved one getting settled into the community. I like the community. The doctor calls and lets me know how my loved one's health is. The apartment is very clean and well kept. Everything has been really good. They have been informative, which is good. the food is decent. The help is good and nice. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. It is a nice atmosphere. There are no smells and the community is very clean.
