Community Reviews
Aparments are the right size
reviewed on: 07/09/2013 by TerryI am really enjoying being here at Forest Ridge. The food is wonderful and just taste very good. I only have the noon meal and cook the rest of my meal in my apartment, but it is always a good meal they provide. The apartments are the right size for me they are not too big but not too small. I am really enjoying living here and would recommend it to anyone.
seems to like it
reviewed on: 09/21/2015 by AnonymousShirley seems to like it at Forest Ridge. The only thing she mentioned is the residents don't seem to talk during the meals. I was hoping to see her get better social interaction. Her air conditioning unit seems to go on the fritz a lot. Also we baked cookies in the oven while I was there visiting and the oven seems difficult to figure out. The staff are super nice there. The facility is very clean. It is very secure. I would to see more parking, sometimes that can get difficult. We did want to sign up to have her given 2 medications a day but they add all kinds of other care when you do that and the cost would double. I would like to be able to just pay a little extra to have her give those 2 medications rather than them tack on all the extra care and cost. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is okay. It is brought in from another company and she did say the desserts are really good. She is very happy at this facility but the only downside is the social interaction.
The place was awesome, it's fantastic!
reviewed on: 01/10/2014 by Linda CefaluThe place was awesome, it's fantastic! It is an absolutely wonderful place. The place is extremely clean and at least twice a month they provide transportation to and from outings. She didn't want to go there but she has adjusted very well. They are all in one building the laundry and cafeteria, her hairdresser is in the same building, even a little store inside. She doesn't have to leave the building to do any of her day to day things and this takes a huge weight off of my shoulders. Mary the manager there is very quick to let me know what's going on with her. We love it! I would move there myself one day.
It's clean and the staff is friendly.
reviewed on: 08/14/2015 by AnonymousIt's clean and the staff is friendly. They offer a catering service for food. If they added on any more things, a kitchen would be nice, since it's getting bigger and bigger. They could add a few more activities. It's affordable for someone that has a fixed income. I really appreciate that they have a chapel onsite, and offering a spiritual aspect to the community. They have services for different faiths. When I walked in it was an answer to my prayers.
Good facility--a few lessons learned
reviewed on: 08/18/2015 by AnonymousWe had trouble getting the phone connected. AT&T was delayed by several days-but it turned out that Forrest Ridge was the cause of the non-connection. Would recommend that the phone wiring be checked ahead of time if moving a senior into this facility. There seems to be a disconnect in providing 'introductory assistance' to new residences. We were hoping that our Mom would have been guided by either a staff member or a current resident to help her find out the activities and amenities offered here. Maybe offering a DVD showing the facilities and locations within it would be helpful. The room is fine, clean and all appliances were working well. Would recommend having a microwave option for residents. The grounds are well kept and secure. Some of the residents apartments are quite a walk from the dining room and lobby. For people that have trouble or need assistance walking, would recommend the use of cane and walkers.
