I toured Forwood Manor. It's a nice building. It's a nice landscaping and amenities. It's a very nice place to be. The staff was excellent, very caring, and warm. We had lunch there. There are a lot of outdoor spaces, and they have a library. They had therapy there.

I liked Forwood Manor because I'd have my own kitchen and it was lovely. They had a craft room, a greenhouse, a gym, a very large living room, little nooks on each floor that had books and puzzles, a library, and a room if your family wanted to come and eat. It was three floors, and the rooms were very big. It was like your own home. The staff was nice. I was able to go outside and walk around.

We have chosen Forwood Manor. I met two staff members and they were very nice and open. When you walk in, there are two doors that open to a nice area, and across the hall is a huge living room. We like the floor plan because there's two walk-in closets, which I think is good. It seems that any activities you're interested in, they have it going on there. They have a library too. They have crafts, sewing and cooking groups, they go out on small trips, and they go out to eat once a month. The menus are very nice too. When you go in, they have all these coffees and teas, and you can go down there any time during the day and get coffee or tea.

My visit to Forwood Manor was good, but it did not have cottages, only apartments. The staff was very nice and friendly. The environment was warm and friendly, and the residents spoke very highly about the community.

Forwood Manor had several levels of care. The place was clean and beautifully furnished. The staff was excellent and helpful. There were lots of activities. I spoke with one of the residents who talked favorably about outside trips that were sponsored by the facility and also about a group that got together regularly for jigsaw puzzles, something that was organized by the residents. The people were taking an active role in forwarding activities that they were interested in and organizing clubs. When I took my mother back, they served lunch, and the food was really good and restaurant quality.

Forwood Manor seems to be caring. My wife has been there for about two weeks in a semi-private room. The food is not very good, and the staff is average.

I thought Forwood Manor was wonderful. Of all the facilities I looked at, it was by far the best. It’s like a beautiful apartment, you really didn’t hospital feeling or facility feeling, it’s like a country club. The dining facility was fantastic with a 4 or 5 star chef. They had a broad tray that you choose and eat a little bit. They had food for families who will be visiting. It was very nice. One of the things I like was that they have a garden, and they do gardening with the results. They can get outside and put their hands on the dirt.

We had a wonderful visit at Forwood Manor and it was very nice. They lady we spoke to at the sales department was very nice. We went in, toured the facility, had lunch and the food was good. My mom liked it. The atmosphere was also set up like a restaurant and that was nice. The rooms were in very good size, but it was set up like the older style. The kitchen was totally blocked off from the rest of the place. The washer and dryer were down the hallway. My mom was 85 and my mom would be much comfortable with the washer and dryer inside the apartment. However, they offered a lot of stuff too. They offered a lot of activities and there was a pharmacy in there. I thought there was a doctor and that came in so many times a week. I just wasn't where my mom wanted to go, but I would recommend them to others.

Forwood Manor was very welcoming. The dining room facility was VERY nice. They have a restaurant on the first floor and smaller dining areas throughout the wings of the building.

Because I wanted to just go away for a week or so, I inquired about Forwood Manor. Everything there seemed very pleasant. However, once I've heard the details of respite care and if I qualify, I didn't get into any real details about the whole facility. The place was very clean and everything seemed nice. The one staff that I met was very friendly. I didn't see any activities though.

I chose Forwood Manor mainly because it's close to my daughter and myself. My sister-in-law has Parkinson's and needed a lot of care so I do appreciate all the information that we got from you folks. I think she's settled happily. They seem to be very concerned and the other residents are very pleasant and helpful. I've been there for lunch mainly and the food is very good.

My dad is doing very well at Forwood Manor. Everything has been very good and we haven't had any complaints whatsoever. I think the staff is great. They treat him very well, and they're very attentive. He has been gaining weight while he's there. So he must be enjoying the food. We actually went there and had lunch with him a couple of times. It was very good. Everything has been taken care of. We're very impressed and very happy.
