I would give Forest Commons a 5 in all categories. I am very particular, and my tour went very well and all questions I had were answered. From there forward, they made everything easy and my Mother is very happy there. They have fun activities such as Bingo, Movie night in the home theater (including popcorn) people that come in and play music and sing. Fun field trips are also made. A doctor comes once a week and a nurse is present 24/7. Transportation is also provided for personal doctor appointments. Medications can be given by a nurse if needed. This facility is extremely clean. Your laundry is done for you, once a week . Linens are changed and your room is cleaned over per week. Physical Therapy is also-present in the facility if needed. They also have a nice library, arts and crafts and puzzles. My thought was when I began this journey, I would not place my mother-in-law in a place I would not live in myself.... Read more

Everyone is friendly, and the amount of people that remember my Dad's name is amazing. He hasn't been here long and the staff know him and call him by his name.

We gave Forest Hills overall a 3 because they are short staffed, but we do understand it is like that everywhere. The communication with the director [name removed] has been great, we have even seen her a few times step into the kitchen and help out. The dining staff is extremely short - sometimes the residents have to wait long periods just to get into the cafeteria, but they are actively working on the issue. The communication with the nursing team is great, anytime we call with questions or concerns they are right there to answer, and if not we get a call back within 15-20 minutes. They do have a very good physical therapist and speech therapist so the medical side of things has been awesome and overall we are happy with Forest Hills.

Other than some of the staffing shortages they are having, they have been just great. I would recommend Forest Hills Commons to others looking.

This was a lovely and very nice community. The tour was great also and got all the information I needed in regards to the community.
Forest Hills community is a lovely place, they keep the facility spotless. It is nicely decorated without being overbearing. The residents really seem to enjoy life here, and we are constantly getting new residents all the time. The staff is vey caring and there is a good relationship between the staff and residents. The staff are always greeting us and calling us by our first name. The day to day food is about average but the special meals our outstanding. The special meals include lobster, and prime rib. For Mardi Gras we had a big holiday dinner it was just outrageous. I find this place to be very comfortable and would recommend to others coming here and giving it a shot.

We walked in and were immediately overwhelmed by how big the facility was, I was nervous dad was going to get lost. It is a gorgeous place but it is pricey. The person interviewing us was brand new and did not know how to answer my questions.
My loved ones left after a short stay. The communication were responsive when I needed something. I hope the food service has improved, cleaning, and laundry services have improved in the last year-and-a-half, as well.

Great place. Our dad was apprehensive to move, especially from out of state. He looked at and picked FHC, but was still unsure. He agreed to a 6-month trial. After 3 months, he announced he was "not going back." Great staff and facility.

The personal care gives a lot of freedom to the residents. The meals are wonderful. It is a good fit for the folks that are higher functioning. They have a lot of Independent folk there. The room sizes are very nice. Memory care is a much smaller area and has more intense care.

I didn't really get to see much, we were going to go there at one point but they evaluated my mother as needing more care than they could do, they only had a couple patients at the time. Other than that the place seemed nice cosmetically, and the people that I came in contact with were very nice.
