Castle Senior Living at Forest Hills was OK, but it did not "wow" me. It used to be a hotel, so the rooms were very small. The woman who assisted me was very nice and manageable. To me, it felt more like a nursing home because the residents were just sitting around, playing cards, and reading. They have a country kitchen where the residents could get snacks. It was OK, but the rooms were really tiny, and I know my mother would not like it there.

Our experience with Castle Senior Living was very good. They were very attentive, very nice, very social, very clean, and very caring. They had a social calendar. They had bingo, music, and outings. They had a library, and they had activities.
We chose it because it was in the neighborhood. We had our mother-in-law there, and we were very happy with it.

Castle Senior is very good. They are all Hebrew, and they serve Jewish meals. Wonderful meals from what I see. The room situation that I looked at was with a roommate. There is going to be two in a room. It is very clean and quite nice. The grounds are nice, and you can sit outside. You can't bring guests to up to your room because you have a roommate. They can bring them downstairs where they can buy refreshments. They have a lot of activities planned. They have physical time in the morning for about a half hour. They have a weight room and a computer room. It's very beautiful facility with beautiful dining rooms. I have some more medical problems to take care of, otherwise I would be there now.

My mom lived at Castle for a number of years and for most of this time she had little needs. When her needs changed I had to deal with the Case Managers and Welness more closely. The Case Managers are incompetent and uncaring. They were not comforting at all!!! They were menacing to me and left me wondering how they could possibly have their jobs!!! No people skills at all. Some of the staff at Welness were competent but most were very lax. The Director is wonderful!!! She is caring and approachable!!! The Case Managers are disgraceful!!!!

My friend is a resident there. I've been visiting the facility for five years so far. I've noticed some issues over the years but not such a big deal until the past 10 months. My friend has had some real health concerns in the past year and it seems the wellness department and management has not done much to address our concerns. My friend was told that he should look for a new place instead of them the health professionals and management working to fix their inadequacy. Very unhappy and frustrated. I urge my friend to find another place to live soon.

My mom has only been in Castle Senior Living for 2 or 3 days, and so far they seem to be reasonably good. I was very impressed with the staff. The people there were competent, professional and caring. Their services were reasonably pleasant, reasonably in evidence. It was good locationally; convenient to where she was before.

Castle Senior Living seems okay. I spoke to people there and I think the staff is okay. But they seem a little tighter to me.

My friend Paul is a resident at Castle Senior Living in Forrest Hills, NY. I often visit on the weekends to keep him company and catch up on his week's events. The facility is very clean and offers a lot of activities. Paul especially enjoys working with the recreation staff who arrange chess tournaments, movie outings, discussion groups, and gardening. Everyone, from the chef, who sometimes comes out to greet us while we have lunch, to the person at the front desk, is friendly and willing to go the extra mile. The amenities are very nice, Castle has a very attentive housekeeping staff that really keep the resident's room and common areas looking great. Castle Senior Living truly keeps Paul safe and I always enjoy visiting. I would definitely recommend this facility to others.
