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.

We went to see the Foremost Retirement Community in Hesperia for my mom and I think it needs to be updated and improved. The grounds were not manicured well and had a lot of high weeds. The building itself is pretty old but it appeared to be clean. The memory care had a smell to it and the carpet was not very clean. The carpet in the rooms was also fairly dirty and had a smell to it. The staff who accommodated me didn't know a whole lot about the financial aspect of it, so they weren't able to provide anything but a booklet. They did give us the name of someone to contact who, I guess, does a lot of the financial stuff and I contacted the person twice, but my call was never returned. We did not sample the food but the dining area again seemed clean, although the smell throughout the memory care was not good. The residents were also just hanging around and roaming around. To improve, I think that they need to clean the carpets in the memory care so there's a better smell in that particular area. I also did not like the fact that the rooms don't have their own showers. They have their own toilet and sink but the showers have to be scheduled and they only have two that everybody uses. For dementia people, I feel that they should have a complete bathroom in their room with a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a sink. It should not be that they have to be scheduled and then walk down a hall for it. These are Dementia and Alzheimer's patients, they can't find their way.

Foremost Retirement Community seemed like a very spacious facility. It was very clean. They had activities for their residents and they had common areas with books to read and TV. They also had an outdoor area.

I did a tour of Foremost Retirement Community. It looked like a clean facility. The rooms looked like they were comfortable. They gave us plenty of information, and they were kind and courteous about doing it. We didn't see patient areas. We only saw rooms in an empty wing. We did not see any activities going on in the common area. In the empty wing, there was a community area that had TVs and tables for puzzles or stuff. It was an empty wing because of COVID and everything. The people were courteous. They told us that most of the doors were coded, but there were doors that are just alarmed. One of my concerns was that they don't take patients outside. They would need more staff in order to do a group time outside. They had a gazebo area, but not for a memory patients. We saw the entrance and went in the office. The staff talked to us. Then she walked us over and showed us a room and a common area for that wing. There were no patients in it, so it was kind of hard to judge the kind of care because you were not seeing anybody there.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
