Thank you for taking time to review our community. I do apologize that we didn't seem to communicate the information you were expecting properly. Thank you for noticing that our residents were having fun and enjoyed being here because they are most definitely our priority. Sorry we were not a good match for you and your husband and I hope you were able to find a place that communicated well for the both of you.

Thank you so much for coming to visit our community. I am sorry it wasn't a good financial fit for you and your family. Our community is made up of the cottages for independent seniors and inside our facility is for our assisted living. The assisted living is a far greater expense because we provide 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week care for our assisted living residents, that includes medication management, 3 meals a day, housekeeping and laundry service, not to mention individual personal care (showering, toiletry). I am sorry that we were not a good fit for you financially but our prices are all based on the level of care that a person needs and if they have a private or semi-private room. Thank you for the kind words regarding staff and dining hall.

I am sorry to learn that your visit to our community was less than stellar... However; you may be confusing details of our campus with someone else. We offer competitive care rates based upon actual care provided. No a la carte or 'surprise' billing here--EVER. Level I care for assisted living starts at $2600.00 per month. Typically, actual quotes for care are not given at the time of tours. A complimentary, home-based pre-placement appraisal is done to determine the level of care needed and ensure the most appropriate placement. You referenced an elevator in your post--this elevator meets or exceeds the guidelines established with the ADA. The size is industry standard. As far as the activities as 'always being upstairs' this is incorrect information. We do utilize this grand salon for resident banquets and special events. The elevator does travel slow and does operates in a much slower fashion. This was intended to keep slow moving passengers and those with special needs,safe. Give us another try. I would be happy to meet with you and discuss what makes FOREMOST a great place to call home.

Thank you so much Rorie for the wonderful review. We are happy to have had you visit. Yes, our Independent Living Apartments are very different from our Assisted Living in prices due to the 24 hour care we provide. We are all inclusive when it comes to our prices. Which includes, caregivers on duty 24/7, all meals/snacks, laundry, medication management, activities, house keeping, etc. As our apartment prices include all utilities, except the phone, cable and internet. We do apologize for not being able to offer meals for the Independent Living. If you have any questions regarding the apartment, please feel free to give us a call! It was a pleasure meeting you both.

I am sorry that your experience was less than stellar when you visited Foremost Senior Campus. We Pride our selves on our friendly helpful staff and the cleanliness of our facility. I cant speak of what the situation was with your friend, her income because that information is confidential and we do have financial guidelines, and credit check info that we have to follow in order to qualify to live in our apartments. It has proven to be successful for us to date unfortunately some times it is just not a good match. We do have two laundry rooms on sight for the apartments and they are just a few feet from the apartments, however there is a laundry mat that is about three blocks away so I do apologize if there was any confusion in that area. I'm sorry if you didn't get to see the amenities we offer, we have 14 acres of park like grounds we have a bingo hall that is open on Mondays, we have a restaurant The Mile High Cafe that is open for breakfast and lunch 6 days a week, we have a rec room for our tenants to play bingo, poker, bible study and to rent movies, we also have a beauty shop that is open twice a week for any salon services you need. We are far from perfect but it is disappointing to know that you were not happy with your experience. Feel free to come in to our facility and speak with our staff and give us a second chance to prove we are a very caring and clean community. We are open 7 days a week, you are free to stop by anytime. We were in the middle of putting in new flooring and painting , and we will continue to strive to make Foremost a friendly and happy environment to our resident because they are our priority. We look forward to you giving us a second chance and hope you found a facility that makes you and your fiend happy.

Good morning Linda, I am sorry that your visit to Foremost Senior Campus was less than stellar. I am not quite sure if you were referring to the apartments not having adequate wheel chair access, as we have regular apartments and we have 6 handicap apartments that provide all the wheelchair or power chair access that one would need such as wider doorways handicap restrooms and lower cabinets. If you are referring to the assisted living facility , we are completely up to code on all hallways, door ways and room space that a person in a wheel chair would need. Each person in the independent living apartments is completely free to decorate or arrange their apartment any way they like, If there are repairs that need to be made to the apartment the tenant just has to call me the apartment Manager Babette Fisher and I would be happy to take care of getting those things repaired. I am so sorry that you didn't care for the interior of your friends apartment, if your friend feels like there is something that can be done to improve the quality of their apartment please have them call me and I would be more than happy to help. If there is anything I can do to help improve your overall experience with Foremost Senior Campus please feel free to reach out to me M-F 8:30am-5:00pm at 760-244-5579. Thank you for taking the time to provide your input.
