Larry 2021-07-25 I went to Foremost Retirement Community twice and it's a nice and pleasant community. The staff was friendly and helpful. I only saw two units and they were clean and nice. They have a reading room, a television room, and a small auditorium or something like that for gatherings. It's old, but the environment was very pleasant and I could see myself living there because of the peace and quietness around the area. I visited this facility

Kathleen 2017-12-16 We had a tour of Foremost Retirement Community, got information, and talked to the administrator, but it's a little out of our price range. My mother isn't able to afford it and we aren't able to do anything with that. What they showed us were pretty nice rooms. One wing was being renovated and closed down, but they showed us what the rooms looked like and how big they were. They were pretty good. We did a lunch tour so we were able to taste the food and that was pretty good too. The dining area was good. They have five wings, the fifth wing being renovated, and there are a lot of sitting areas. They have a big dining room and each one of the wings has a courtyard or an outside area with a gazebo. The grounds were really nice. The facility was clean and the staff member we talked to was pretty good. They were pretty amenable when showing us around. I visited this facility

penny778525 2017-06-06 I thought Foremost was very neat and clean, and the people took care of business. My husband wasn’t too excited. The staff didn’t seem to have the answers that we wanted and waited for us to ask questions instead of explaining things like we were expecting. The facility seemed a little stiff; nobody smiled there. The residents were having fun and enjoyed being there; they just were there. I wouldn't put my husband there. I visited this facility

Dorothy525208 2017-05-09 Foremost Retirement Community was expensive. There were small studios and homes across street, but they didn't service them at all, so you're like living at own your house. They did have a small section inside where they take care of you. It's very expensive compared to other communities. The rooms themselves were fine, but the rooms inside where you have care were small and very expensive. Of the three communities I saw, this was the one that I liked the least. However, they had nice people, a nice dining room, and a nice layout. I visited this facility

Bronetta 2017-04-07 My dad has been in the independent side of Foremost for 10 months now. It's a very nice and quiet place. The administration is very helpful and kind. The units are nice; they have one-bedrooms and studios, and we don't have a problem with them at all. They have lounging rooms and meals, but he didn't use that. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Ana743236 2016-11-24 I really liked Foremost Retirement Community; it's the place I chose. I thought it was a very nice place that was very clean and had lots of activities for the residents. The staff was very friendly. The rooms were a good size and very nice and adequate. I visited this facility

Joan435276 2016-11-01 Foremost Retirement Community was a much nicer looking place. It was bigger, and the people were very nice. The price is a little too high for my brother, but I would prefer going there if I have more money. I visited this facility

Khss 2016-09-05 After looking at a couple of facilities, we chose Foremost for my Mom's care. At home her dementia was getting worse and she was getting depressed and didn't want to eat too much. After just 2 weeks at foremost we saw such a change in Mom. She was getting up for breakfast and enjoying all of her meals, and even gained a little weight. Mom took part in activities and even exercising. All of the caregivers are very caring and loving. If you are looking for a loving place to put your loved one, we recommend Foremost Retirement I am a friend or relative of resident

Barbara250537 2016-07-10 My visit at Foremost was very good. I just did not like the locks on the doors. My mom did not have Alzheimer’s, so she didn’t need to be placed in there. It was very clean and the staff was excellent and very friendly. I only met their director and the receptionist, and they were very nice. We took the tour, and I would give that a 4. I just didn’t like the locks on the doors, but I guess you have to have that for Alzheimer’s patients. I visited this facility

Diane116846450 2016-02-10 Foremost was a great place, but it was way very expensive. It was way above what we could have afforded. It had all kinds of activities, and the people there were really good. They have different places of assisted up to hospice. So, it was great, but it was way too expensive for what we could afford. They had similar apartments outside the complex for just assisted-living. Inside was for people who needed more help. Both were very nice. I had not eaten there, but I saw the kitchen. I saw the food. It smelled, and looked really good. They had TV rooms in all the wings. They had movies. They had exercises, and all kinds of stuff there for the folks that lived there. They could improve on the price. It was very expensive there, otherwise, everything was nice. I visited this facility

Caring111908550 2015-08-13 Home of Foremost Retirement is nice. They are good. They do everything they are supposed to do. They are better than the nursing home. They help my father in and out of bed. They help him bathe. They help him with everything. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Christy7 2014-11-11 At Foremost Retirement Community, it started off at $2800. The facility itself in the main building was fair. They have an inside building and outside the building, they have a lot of little individual apartments or cottages and other people live in those. The staff was very nice but they didn’t know me; they weren’t as receptive. I saw less interaction. I didn’t see a lot of residents. They had an elevator, but it wasn’t adequate enough. Most of their activities were always upstairs. If you are in a wheelchair, you might get 2 wheelchairs in the elevator, and it goes upstairs and downstairs, so you better get there early to your party or you’re going to be number 10 in line. I visited this facility

Peewee1953 2014-02-25 The door to Dad's unit doesn't lock properly and the common area in my Dad's unit is not maintained well. Dad fell & badly cut his head open. Less than 2 weeks later, I noticed a bruise on his temple. He needs an alarm attached to him and a rail to block his falling from bed. Both of these things were requested two weeks ago but still aren't there. He's a skeleton. He should get supplements to his meals but don't think that's happening. Staff is great except for evening staff. They put common TV on zombie movies, do each other's hair, and gab amongst themselves. I am a friend or relative of resident

croytate 2013-10-19 Since Dr. Vangala purchased the facility, I have noticed a vast improvement in the quality of care, attitude of caregivers, amount and variety of food, etc. Having Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care all in one location was a real blessing for my friend.

Jerome1 2013-07-23 They seemed to be doing their job at Foremost. The food is good, I have no complaints about it. The level of care that's given is as anticipated, expected, and so far so good. The place is very clean and well kept. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Pat7 2012-12-16 Foremost Health Care was recommended to us. It was best suited for my mother's needs. So far it seems to be working out really well. They're friendly and caring. The rooms are suited for the handicapped. It's a very good facility. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Jennifer 2021-06-27 My father-in-law is in Foremost Retirement Community. They're very professional, informative, and very caring towards the family members. They're a very sociable independent community. Because of Covid right now, they don't really have much. They do have bingo, but it's not open yet. They have other other stuff there that they can all socialize, go and partake in. Right now because of Covid, they're not really doing much. It is a nice building. It's very clean and manicured lawn areas. Even the inside of the facility like the the rooms and the independent rooms, they're very well taken care of.

Rorie 2021-02-18 We went to the Foremost Retirement Community. They had apartments for like $700, like a studio apartment, so independent living, and then the next one from that was assisted living, and that was like $4,200, and that was a huge jump. What we were looking for is what grandma had before where she had her own place. It was independent, but they just brought her food every day, and they were like, "We don't have anything like that." The staff was friendly, the girl I spoke with was very friendly. They said they had bingo, senior activities that they could join in if they wanted. They had a little restaurant/cafe on site that she could just walk across and order food like that. My mom and I went to look at it, and we liked it. I visited this facility

Donna 2020-11-23 I toured Foremost Retirement Resort. It was good, but I just think it was too big of a facility for my mom. I felt like she would be isolated. If you're a person that just wants to live there, and don't need help, that would be a great place. Right now, they kind of have it on lockdown for each wing. They've got four wings, and each wing is locked down within each self. They do have a gathering area in each wing, and a little food area. The lady was wonderful, they were very nice, they helped me out a lot. I got to tour it, and I saw the room. I visited this facility

Raymondboy 2020-08-18 I waiting to see if a studio apartment is available in October that why I visit, Diane help me out she was very wonderful to me on the visit, so I can't tell you about everything else, but they have good reviews I visited this facility

raymondboy 2020-07-12 I visit foremost two weeks ago I am looking at a small apartment it fit my needs the manager Diane was real nice thank you,i am hoping this place is still available in October when my lease runs out, but I love everything thank again Diane. July 12,2020 if i don't get it still wonderful place we all the views and shopping is close by. I visited this facility

Reviewer11292019 2019-12-01 I went to Foremost Retirement Community. They weren't very receptive and they weren't very nice. I was not happy with them at all. They were very uncooperative. They would not accept my friend's alimony as income. The place was not clean. They showed us a studio apartment with a gas stove. They didn't have any amenities to speak of. She would have to walk three blocks to do her laundry. It was pretty, but that was about it. The woman in charge was rude. I would not recommend the place. I saw both the independent and the assisted living. It was beautiful on the outside, but on the inside the place was dinged up and it wasn't clean. I visited this facility

Bonita 2019-11-01 Foremost Retirement Community was a wonderful place and really nice. I saw a large studio. It was gigantic with lots of closet space and everything in there. I thought it was a great place and had lots of amenities too. The staff member who accommodated me during the tour was wonderful. They have a lot of other options available, so there's also a small studio, but I looked at the big one. There are different room sizes. I understand they have a pool, a recreation room, and that sort of thing I visited this facility

Tim 2019-03-02 Foremost Retirement Community seemed like a nice facility. The staff during the tour was very helpful and informative. The dining area was nice, and it was more like a cafeteria. They showed a calendar of activities and it looked okay. They had a library and an exercise room. I saw three apartments. They had a smaller studio, the larger studio had plenty of closet space, and the 1-bedroom was good sized. I visited this facility

Arthur 2018-10-01 I visited Foremost Retirement Community and it seemed to be OK for what I'm interested in. It's like an apartment, 1-bedroom, $850 a month, and inclusive of everything else. If I go to a senior place, it would be there. The room seemed to be large enough for what I needed, but it's small compared to an average 1-bedroom apartment. The staff said you could only have a small refrigerator. It seemed to be quite clean and wholesome. The people I talked to were very informative. I visited this facility

Jimmy 2018-04-30 We visited Foremost Retirement, it was really nice, and we liked it. All the facilities were well-kept and clean. The problem is storage space. The bedroom was nice, the kitchen and living room was a decent size, and the access was pretty good. They have games, Bingo night (which my wife loves), and they have a rec room. I visited this facility

Linda 2017-11-08 I have a friend who lives at Foremost Retirement, and it's always presentable. The apartments are adequate. The doorway should be wider because somebody in a wheelchair would have a tough time navogating. I don't think the interiors are kept up well. The staff is pleasant. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Genevieve155208 2016-11-26 Foremost Retirement has 420 sq. ft independent living units for only $750 which is a fantastic price. It’s close enough as I am able to be independent living, I could keep my part time job, and I could go to my church. The place was very clean, and the employees were very nice. I offered to buy lunch because I wasn't told it would not be provided, but then when we heard it was $10 for lunch, we said no. It was awful; the vegetables and the dessert was green Jell-O. I have never thought a Jell-O is a dessert. They had a piece of turkey which I could not cut, and the knife was so dull I had a hard time. They did have some staffing which was good, but the food was awful. The choice of drinks were water and coffee, but I don’t drink coffee. The staff was very friendly, very friendly, but the units were too small, and the food was inadequate. I visited this facility

Karen500556 2016-10-21 Foremost Retirement Community was decent, nice, and big, but it was just too far away and too expensive. I visited this facility

AB3 2016-04-23 The people at Foremost Retirement Resort were very nice. The quality of the rooms was not to the same level as others, and it was more expensive, as well. The dining room looked fine. We were impressed with it, at first, until we saw other communities. I visited this facility

5 4 1

Cindy 2021-07-09 I like the setting of Foremost Retirement Community. It wasn't just a memory care; they have apartments there, and they have assisted living. They also have outside groups that come in. They have a hall that they rent out for weddings and different school functions. They have a lot more activity that was going on -- not necessarily in the memory care unit, but in the facility itself. I have nothing bad to say about it. I visited this facility

Cheri 2021-04-01 My mother-in-law is at Foremost Retirement Community. They're really nice. I've never actually been inside, but on the phone they seem nice. She's been there for two weeks now, and she seems to be adjusting fine. She doesn't remember what you said three seconds ago. I don't even know if she knows that she's not home. She doesn't do anything with her life. She sits in a chair or she lays in bed. That's all she does. She has very few resources to pay to take care of herself, and I picked this place because it was the only one she could afford. She's two-and-a-half hours away from us, but there's nothing I could do. She's not safe at home alone. She needed to be in a place, and this is the only thing I could find that she could afford. They've just been great. I have been to the outside, and it's a very nice-looking place. It actually is a pretty cool place. They have actual apartments, so people who live there are maybe sixty-five years old and don't want to do all of the stuff on their own. They don't want to take care of their yard, they don't want to cook, and they just want to live independently, so they have all that stuff in separate buildings. It's really quite a complex. The grounds are nice. I've seen pictures of the inside because they have a video that I watched, but I've never been inside. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Patricia122546550 2016-03-28 Foremost Retirement Resort seemed like they had a good menu. My mother would've been in a double room, which was a nice room. The people working there were very friendly. The biggest positive was they were geared toward dementia patients unlike where she is now. I visited this facility

Provider Response

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.

The rooms themselves were fine, but the rooms inside where you have care were small and very expensive. Of the three communities I saw, this was the one that I liked the least. However, they had nice people, a nice dining room, and a nice layout.

Provider Response

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.

Provider Response

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.

Foremost Health Care was recommended to us. It was best suited for my mother's needs. So far it seems to be working out really well. They're friendly and caring. The rooms are suited for the handicapped. It's a very good facility.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My father-in-law is in Foremost Retirement Community. They're very professional, informative, and very caring towards the family members. They're a very sociable independent community. Because of Covid right now, they don't really have much. They do have bingo, but it's not open yet. They have other other stuff there that they can all socialize, go and partake in. Right now because of Covid, they're not really doing much. It is a nice building. It's very clean and manicured lawn areas. Even the inside of the facility like the the rooms and the independent rooms, they're very well taken care of.

Provider Response

Hello Jennifer, we would like to thank you for your kind review. We do have a friendly community and awesome tenants. Our Bingo Hall will be up and running starting July 5th and is open to the public. Thank you again for your time and please do not hesitate to to contact us should you have any questions. Hope you have a wonderful day! -Foremost

Provider Response

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 toured Foremost Retirement Resort. It was good, but I just think it was too big of a facility for my mom. I felt like she would be isolated. If you're a person that just wants to live there, and don't need help, that would be a great place. Right now, they kind of have it on lockdown for each wing. They've got four wings, and each wing is locked down within each self. They do have a gathering area in each wing, and a little food area. The lady was wonderful, they were very nice, they helped me out a lot. I got to tour it, and I saw the room.

I went to Foremost Retirement Community. They weren't very receptive and they weren't very nice. I was not happy with them at all. They were very uncooperative. They would not accept my friend's alimony as income. The place was not clean. They showed us a studio apartment with a gas stove. They didn't have any amenities to speak of. She would have to walk three blocks to do her laundry. It was pretty, but that was about it. The woman in charge was rude. I would not recommend the place. I saw both the independent and the assisted living. It was beautiful on the outside, but on the inside the place was dinged up and it wasn't clean.

Provider Response

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.

Foremost Retirement Community was a wonderful place and really nice. I saw a large studio. It was gigantic with lots of closet space and everything in there. I thought it was a great place and had lots of amenities too. The staff member who accommodated me during the tour was wonderful. They have a lot of other options available, so there's also a small studio, but I looked at the big one. There are different room sizes. I understand they have a pool, a recreation room, and that sort of thing

Foremost Retirement Community seemed like a nice facility. The staff during the tour was very helpful and informative. The dining area was nice, and it was more like a cafeteria. They showed a calendar of activities and it looked okay. They had a library and an exercise room. I saw three apartments. They had a smaller studio, the larger studio had plenty of closet space, and the 1-bedroom was good sized.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to come visit Foremost Senior Campus and to write such a nice review. We are glad you enjoyed your tour of the facility and the apartments. If there are any improvements or changes you can recommend your input would be invaluable. Thank you again and we look forward to possibly working with you in the future. Have a great day.

I visited Foremost Retirement Community and it seemed to be OK for what I'm interested in. It's like an apartment, 1-bedroom, $850 a month, and inclusive of everything else. If I go to a senior place, it would be there. The room seemed to be large enough for what I needed, but it's small compared to an average 1-bedroom apartment. The staff said you could only have a small refrigerator. It seemed to be quite clean and wholesome. The people I talked to were very informative.

We visited Foremost Retirement, it was really nice, and we liked it. All the facilities were well-kept and clean. The problem is storage space. The bedroom was nice, the kitchen and living room was a decent size, and the access was pretty good. They have games, Bingo night (which my wife loves), and they have a rec room.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to come visit our community and to write such a lovely review. We appreciate it and we are truly sorry we were not a good match for you and your wife at this time. We wish you the best of luck in your search.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I have a friend who lives at Foremost Retirement, and it's always presentable. The apartments are adequate. The doorway should be wider because somebody in a wheelchair would have a tough time navogating. I don't think the interiors are kept up well. The staff is pleasant.

Provider Response

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.

Foremost Retirement has 420 sq. ft independent living units for only $750 which is a fantastic price. It’s close enough as I am able to be independent living, I could keep my part time job, and I could go to my church. The place was very clean, and the employees were very nice. I offered to buy lunch because I wasn't told it would not be provided, but then when we heard it was $10 for lunch, we said no. It was awful; the vegetables and the dessert was green Jell-O. I have never thought a Jell-O is a dessert. They had a piece of turkey which I could not cut, and the knife was so dull I had a hard time. They did have some staffing which was good, but the food was awful. The choice of drinks were water and coffee, but I don’t drink coffee. The staff was very friendly, very friendly, but the units were too small, and the food was inadequate.

The people at Foremost Retirement Resort were very nice. The quality of the rooms was not to the same level as others, and it was more expensive, as well. The dining room looked fine. We were impressed with it, at first, until we saw other communities.

Memory Care Reviews for Foremost Retirement Community

July 09, 2021

By Cindy

I visited this facility

I like the setting of Foremost Retirement Community. It wasn't just a memory care; they have apartments there, and they have assisted living. They also have outside groups that come in. They have a hall that they rent out for weddings and different school functions. They have a lot more activity that was going on -- not necessarily in the memory care unit, but in the facility itself. I have nothing bad to say about it.

Provider Response

Hello Cindy! We would like thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave a review. We are proud of our multi use community, offering Assisted Living, Independent Living, Banquet Halls and Public Bingo. On our campus we do have a restaurant in walking distance for convenience as well. If you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call! We are available 7 days a week from 9am-4pm.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother-in-law is at Foremost Retirement Community. They're really nice. I've never actually been inside, but on the phone they seem nice. She's been there for two weeks now, and she seems to be adjusting fine. She doesn't remember what you said three seconds ago. I don't even know if she knows that she's not home. She doesn't do anything with her life. She sits in a chair or she lays in bed. That's all she does. She has very few resources to pay to take care of herself, and I picked this place because it was the only one she could afford. She's two-and-a-half hours away from us, but there's nothing I could do. She's not safe at home alone. She needed to be in a place, and this is the only thing I could find that she could afford. They've just been great. I have been to the outside, and it's a very nice-looking place. It actually is a pretty cool place. They have actual apartments, so people who live there are maybe sixty-five years old and don't want to do all of the stuff on their own. They don't want to take care of their yard, they don't want to cook, and they just want to live independently, so they have all that stuff in separate buildings. It's really quite a complex. The grounds are nice. I've seen pictures of the inside because they have a video that I watched, but I've never been inside.

Foremost Retirement Resort seemed like they had a good menu. My mother would've been in a double room, which was a nice room. The people working there were very friendly. The biggest positive was they were geared toward dementia patients unlike where she is now.
