I toured Foulk Living. The staff was very caring. They had some nice paintings. They had indoor and outdoor activities, weather permitting. The people were friendly. She took me around on the tour. The residents seemed happy. You didn't see anybody looking downcast. They interacted with each other in the little time that I saw them. They were playing a game, and they were encouraging each other. So, it wasn't like they were strangers. The staff was very good. She was very helpful. She pointed out different things and answered questions. The place was clean. There was no smell of urine or anything. No trash lying around.

Foulk Living has been caring for my parents like family! Their rooms are comfortable. The food is delicious and plentiful. But the best part about Foulk Living is the staff! My mother has dementia and has been at Foulk Living for over a year. Her nurses treat her with respect and dignity. She is dressed and clean. They interact with her to stimulate her brain. They love her in our absence. My father was brought to Foulk Living after rehab for a broken hip. Sadly, he was too weak to recover from his surgery. The staff at Foulk were so attentive to my father’s needs in his final days. Not only did they care for him, they cared for us as his family. We were encouraged to spend as much time with our father as we felt necessary. They made sure we ate and explained everything that was happening every step of the way. They even made sure that my mom was brought to my dad’s side so that they can have time together. They love my family and care for them physically as well as emotionally. Never did I expect the level of care and love we have experienced! Foulk Living and the staff are top notch. We could not have asked for a better partner in taking care of our parents during the difficulties of their lives!! Thank you Foulk Living for loving my parents and caring for us all!!!

Our interactions with the staff have been overwhelmingly positive. They truly care for and about my mother and father. My father is in hospice and they have truly helped my family walk this path easier. My mother is in memory care and the staff always make sure she is dressed up to visit my dad. I couldn’t ask for more caring people to help us with the aging process of my parents.

We moved my mom into Foulk Living about a year ago. She has dementia and needed more care than a traditional Memory Care unit could give. The staff is wonderful with her. They are loving, respectful and are allowing her to go through the stages of dementia with dignity. She is becoming more agitated and when I asked about possibly starting to sedate her their response was that they didn’t think she needed it yet and they didn’t want her to lose her spunk. I was so grateful. They communicate frequently with our family and always welcome us warmly when we visit. It’s so nice to know I don’t have to worry about her!

Foulk Living was five stars. The staff was great. The place was extremely clean. The memory care facilities were great. My son went with me, and we were totally impressed. Everything was excellent. The residents were out on a patio. There was some interaction with the staff out there and the residents.

I appreciate that they go to the store for me. I like that they take good care of me, so I do not have to go into a nursing home.

I visited Foulk Living. I didn't really get a whole lot of the tour. When I entered the door, it was very welcoming. The people were kind, as far as greeting you and talking about their program. They gave out information on what they had for assisted living and independent living. It looked like everything was going very well on their part. They presented everything very well and very professionally for me and my husband. I didn't really get to look at the rooms. They have buildings outside where you can have your own place outside of the building. From what I have seen, they look really nice. They may have upgraded a few things in there. We were told that some of the areas were upgraded. I saw the hallway. It felt pretty clean in there. It was nice and breathable.

I toured this facility. They seemed to be very good and efficient in what they offer to the people who need those things, and who need an independent living but need meals as well. It was a more colonial style in terms of decoration, so it's a little bit more ornate than the other place that I toured. It felt very comfortable. They had a little bit more in terms of the activities and the kinds of rooms available, like the activity rooms. The gardens were just a little bit more elaborate and a little bit more stylish. The facilities seemed adequate for what an elderly person might need. The rooms were spacious enough for one or two people. They had little cottages or casas, and more types of offerings for independent living. So it's not just apartments, but they have cottages as well, and the cottages were very cute. I like that they had the window doors that open out onto a little patio with the woods right behind it. That was charming. They had a friendly staff, nice accommodations, and nice service. I was also impressed with them.

We placed my mother here. She's in independent living with the Starlight program and they'll come up and check on her during the day, and if she needs any assistance with anything they'll help her. Like they'll make her bed and remind her of different activities during the day. Her apartment is beautiful, and she loves it. She's very happy, and I would recommend them. They have bingo, exercises, arts and crafts, music, and happy hour. I like that they're open a good part of the day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She'll go down at 8:15 for breakfast and some of the ladies will sit down there until 10:00. They also go on outings. They have a van that takes them places, they have a library, and they play cards. The place could be updated a little bit more, but for the most part it's very nice for the money. The staff is very friendly. They completely redid her whole room, she has a new bathroom, new carpet, painting, an air-conditioning and heater, and a walk-in closet.

Foulk Manor North was not affordable, but it was nice. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. It's a nice and well-equipped community. The rooms were clean and sufficient, and the menu was adequate. They had plenty of things to do.

It was very nice. The staff members were very nice too. The lady gave us a lot of information. She seemed to take her time with us. They provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As for activities, there is a lady who comes in and entertains the residents with music.

We were given a tour and that was fine. We had a very good lunch there. The dining area was warm, welcoming, and friendly. We were shown a cottage with two bedrooms, full kitchen, patio, living room, and area for laundry; we liked it. Everybody seemed friendly.

We had a very nice visiting experience and we ended up living here. It is a beautiful community and there was a cottage available with 2 bedrooms, which is what we wanted. It is very nice with a nice kitchen, a living/dining area and 1 bathroom. I enjoy the kitchen that I have.

It was nice. The facilities were nice and clean, and the staff was very informative and professional. I would consider it; however, I wanted something closer to the train station.

It was very nice. We didn’t go there because their therapy was just a visiting service, and my friend needed it all the time. The facility was great, and the people were very nice. I went through the whole place, and they told me the different levels of care that were available, and I was interested at that time in their assisted living facility as well as respite care. The apartments all looked very nice, well taken care of, and clean. I also was interested in finding out if they had a built-in lift, and I don’t think had that; they had the wheeled-in one. It was very nice, but the therapy is what my friend needed and that was not available.

They showed a more compassionate level of care for the people in the assisted living and they were kind of quieter, but that was because of the stage of aging that the residents were in. But the facility itself was very bright, warm, inviting, and uplifting. And, they just showed good care to the patients who live there. They even showed how they had this open policy where people can open their bedroom doors, so that they can see light. One resident even had a pet like a little kitten or maybe it was a tiny puppy, but it was a teeny, tiny animal that they would allow on the premises as long as the pet is a manageable and well-behaved small animal. They don't advertise to bring pets in, but if someone is going to do poorly if their pet is taken away, then they would allow the resident to keep it. It was just amazing to see that this pet was so used to this woman and they thought it would be detrimental to her if they take the pet away, so it was just really nice.

The staff was extremely courteous, overly accommodating, kind, caring, and compassionate. They seemed very interested in providing care and service and they really cared about our situation. Financially, she showed me some different options when it comes to the rooms. She also explained how people transitioned at different stages of life whether it be due to age or because they need a community where they don't have to do everything themselves. She also explained what type of housing and care they offer as well as what might be needed at each point in the different stages of aging -- she was just really helpful and caring. The facility was gorgeous. I would move in there myself. The décor was warm and inviting; the people that we encountered during the tour were happy and at ease with being there -- they were socializing and they had activitie. They also had beautiful garden grounds to walk around and a little enclosed park area where you can sit on benches. It was just really, really top notch. It was so nice.

I was just most impressed with Foulk Manor North. Firstly, it was close to me. We had my mother there in their memory care unit until she had to be moved to a nursing unit. The facility was very nice. They had all kinds of activities for the people. The people that worked there were lovely. I would go there everyday and if I did get there at lunch, I tasted a few things and they were actually good. My mom liked it. I absolutely would recommend this facility to others.

My mother spent about two years here. I liked everything about that facility. It was lovely and excellent. Everybody was very kind and very nice. Her room was big and wonderful, almost like a suite. There was a little kitchenette and she had a separate bedroom area, two closets and a lovely bathroom.

My mother-in-law has been here for two months now. The staff is very good. They seem very attentive and on top of things. Everyone is very nice. Food is good. We actually had lunch there before and we enjoyed it. With regards to activities, they have movies, trips, exercise classes, etc. They also have a shuttle bus that takes them shopping or to restaurants. Overall, it is a nice facility.

It's a bright place. It is an excellent facility. The people seem happy there. Their two-bedroom apartments are the same size as the other apartments we checked out, but then again, they are also very small.
