I thought that the apartments at Belden Forest Court were very nice, but there wasn't anyone there to really show us around. I also think that the dining area was nice. I also saw their activity room. From what I saw, the community was nice. The apartment that I saw was clean as well.

I liked Belden Forest Court very much. I liked the price especially. It's affordable and I liked everything about it. It had a very relaxed and laid back atmosphere. They don't provide meals. I have to supply my own, but they take me shopping to get food. The staff was very nice and very patient and took time to answer all our questions. They have a library and rooms for activities. It's very independent, you buy your own apartment, and what you do with it is totally up to you. The apartments were nice and spacious. There were studio apartments, which I was interested in. There's a separate space for the bed and a separate space for the living room. They have somebody come in and clean for me.

Belden Forest has a singles population mostly and some are married, it's not assisted living, but independent and there are some things that they do for you like cleaning once a week, doing your sheets, and some other things. We have field events every couple weeks. I've been here for about a month now.

I have chosen Belden Forest Court because the facility is very nice. They have 44 units and mine is very nice, just big enough for me. They have somebody come in once a week and clean my unit. The staff are also very helpful and they're always available for you. Two people who worked here actually live in the building. If something happens to you, there are two emergency bells, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. Not only does it ring the police station but the manager's phone as well. It tells them what unit the person is having trouble in. Every week residents can participate in a lot of activities here. They actually put out notes reminding us of these activities. Everybody is happy and I would absolutely recommend this facility.
