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 talk to my mother on the phone a lot and she seems happy here. I think she is getting good care and it has been a good experience so far. It is a beautiful facility and has a lot of window views. Their head nurse is very friendly and responsive if you have any issues. They have a brand new chief executive but I have not gotten to talk to her yet, but it has disrupted anything in the facility. I would definitely recommend them for memory care.
