Forest Hills Commons

My sister moved to Forest Hills Commons. I think the people there are very sincere about taking care of seniors. The place is always nice and neat and clean. The food is good. We are a big family, so my sibs are very happy that she's close enough to us that we can go out there without a long haul around the city. The people there are very professional. The person there, I don't know if she's the director or whatever, but she is very charming. She is very connected to her workers and appears to be very kind and happy that people are there. They do have a lot of activities there. I know that they have people come in and play music. Sometimes when I get there, it's in the hallway, and the people are playing orchestral music and the pianos are being played, and it's lovely.

Forest Hills Commons was nice and new. It had the same offer as the other place, but it was a little classier. They have a nurse on staff, even in memory care. They had a nice little courtyard to sit and they had a nice size room and you could get various types of rooms. They seemed to be fully staffed and had nice things. They offered different levels of care. They had a nice little common area where they do activities, but I didn't see too many people in the building. The rooms seemed to be well lit and some of them even had refrigerators and different things in the rooms, this is still in the memory care if that's what you choose.

It is one of the top two that we like among those we toured. It's very clean and it's very nice, and they were extremely nice. We looked at the facility; the rate was where we wanted it to be. And it was a very nice room, and they gave off a lot of things and activities. I think the number one thing was they have a nurse on each floor, 24-7, which was a benefit for us right now at this stage. My mother-in-law just needs someone to come in and bring her medicine, and so they do that. But they also made us feel at ease knowing that they had security there. So if something came up or something happened, somebody was there. The residents, they have a doctor and a nurse practitioner that comes in once a week, and that helps us that they come instead of us going to them. Also, they have transportation where you can sign up to go shopping or to go to the store to pick up food and stuff. So that makes it nice that they have the transportation there for their residents. They have courtyards, and it made it extremely nice, they have physical therapy, and they can work out. So it gave us a lot of options with her and we just felt really good about it.

It was all bedrooms, for the most part. We were impressed with them because it seemed like they were more guest-compatible. Like if we had somebody come in, they had room for us to entertain people in. I like a lot of things about it. The apartments were roomier. Most of them (or all of them), were 2-bedrooms, and several of them had 2-baths as well. The rooms were small, of course, but that's to be expected in a place like that. They had several common areas that you could actually reserve for you to entertain (like if I wanted to have a men's group from church come in, I could reserve a space for that). If we wanted to have a family get together, there was a place we could do that. So I was pretty impressed with that. The staff was very helpful. I only met with the person that took me around. She answered all my questions and was helpful.

It was a nice facility. The staff during the tour was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were pretty nice, very accommodating, and adequate. Everything seemed to be in good order. There was an outdoor courtyard, a recreational space for families visiting, and a movie room. It's worth a visit to see what they offer.
