My husband has been in three assisted living residences since Feb 2024. Forest Glen is finally “home”. It is efficiently managed. The rooms are sunny and clean. The staff is friendly and caring and stay on top of his needs. The food is excellent. Everything about it is welcoming to family and friends.

I visited this facility

The rooms are spacious and many have a great peaceful view over a manicured lawn with pine trees. Deer and turkeys can be seen once in a while. All the residents are friendly and if possible will assist each other wherever they can. It's a very friendly and homy atmosphere. The staff is genuinely friendly to all residents and are very competent in caring for all residents.

Provider Response

Hello, We appreciate your review! We love that you're experiencing the peaceful views and grounds our dedicated maintenance team ensures are always manicured and clean. It's great to hear you're finding our team to be great. Thank you!

My mom’s room is just like home ! She even has the same bay window!! The rooms and facilities always smell and look clean. If something extra is needed all you do is ask and in a timely manner it is done. The staff are all so pleasant and professional. If they can’t answer your question they find an answer asap! I can’t say enough good things about Forest Glen. And the food is yummy! When ever a special event is on the kitchen staff do an excellent job in presentation and quality!!

Provider Response

After almost three years of my mother being a resident at Forest Glen, we still are very satisfied with the facility and what it has to offer. The staff is very caring, and in times when she has a setback, they jump in to make sure she's comfortable. The kitchen staff always have hugs to lift the spirits of the residents. Forest Glen has really boosted their enrichment activities in the last six months offering many opportunities for anyone who wants to participate. We have been very happy with the care and love she has experienced at Forest Glen.

When we began a search for an Assisted Living Residence for Mom, friends and neighbors repeatedly suggested including Forest Glen in our review of area facilities. Forest Glen was a standout from the very first visit. Well-appointed, beautiful setting, bright and cheerful interior and a variety of residence offerings from a studio to a one-bedroom. The facility population is smaller, so residents get wonderful one-on-one attention from the entire staff. Birthdays, holidays and fun events are a part of each week and family members are invited to participate. I have been so very impressed with our experience, to date, at Forest Glen and I know that Mom is receiving really thoughtful and caring assistance which she really needs.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for sharing such a positive review of your experience at Forest Glen! We are thrilled to hear that your mom is receiving thoughtful and caring assistance from our amazing team. We appreciate your kind words and are grateful for your recommendation.

My kids and I attended the ice cream social at Forest Glen Assisted living. The atmosphere was great and my daughter even got to help pass out ice cream and scoop the ice cream. We had a blast playing bingo and sitting with the residents and assisting them as well! Over all it was a great experience and we would love to volunteer again in the future!

Provider Response

Hello, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your kids had a great time at our ice cream social. It's fantastic that your daughter got to participate and help out. We appreciate your support and would love to have you volunteer again in the future!

The first of September, 2023, we moved my mother into Forest Glen. During that time, we have had some ups and downs, but through that time working with Kelsey has been Vergil’s. She has addressed all of our concerns and keeps staff to take good care of mom. Kelsey is very easy to work with and always available when needed. She truly cares about the people at Forest Glen. All the Paperwork has gone very smoothly. I would rate her an A+. We would like to thank her and the entire staff for all their work.

Provider Response

Hi Keith, Thank you for your review. We have an amazing Executive Director who is dedicated to making sure our residents and families are always taken care of. We love having your mom at our community!

Forest Glenn has been a Godsend. When my mother needed a caring home we found them. From the moment we entered the facility you could see the kindness and caring manor in which everything was done. From staff wanting to be helpful to us, to the cleanliness of the facility!! The one bedroom studio is perfect. They are always thinking of the residents and do so many fun and creative activities. Thank you Forest Glen for making my mom comfortable! You can see it on her face

Forest Glen is a very caring facility, the care givers are very attentive to the needs of their residents. They offer loving help as needed. Housekeeping does a great job at cleaning rooms and keeping the whole facility fresh and clean! I like that they encourage and help the residents with daily activities to help keep their mind and bodies moving. We (as a family of a resident) are very happy with Forest Glen!

I was invited to attend an event at Forest Glen recently. I met several of the staff members and watched them care for and interact with the residents. I was so impressed! Everyone seemed to genuinely care for and enjoy the residents. They served delicious food, prepared by their own kitchen staff. The grounds and facility were very homey and cozy feeling. They're doing a fantastic job!

Staff is helpful and reassuring. Very good at answering or calling with concerns. Rooms are spacious. Nice knowing my mom is eating healthy meals at a safe facility. My mom loves getting her hair done there. Relieved to know she is taking her meds as prescribed. Very happy with forest Glen and employees.

My mom had a one-bedroom apartment in Forest Glen Assisted Living. Their food was OK. One staff member spent a lot of time with her and took very good care of her. Several staff did it, too. If she was upset in the evenings and wanted company, they would come and sit with her. They also did crafts and had parties.

Our mom has been at Forest Glen for almost 3 1/2 years. Mom always tells us "they take good care of me here." Her mini apartment is pleasant, comfortable and adequate for her needs. We were able to bring some of her furniture from home, and it helped her to have familiar things that were hers. She enjoys the little garden and bird feeding station we put outside her patio door, which helps to personalize it for her. Staff are attentive and loving to her, and she has made friends with some of the other residents. We appreciate the small-town/home-town atmosphere. We even have a relative on the staff, and some residents were also acquaintances and friends from years before assisted living was necessary. Activities for the residents are not as frequent as when a dedicated activities person was on staff (we miss Robin and Shirley!), but Covid has presented challenges with that. We really appreciated that contact and communication with the residents was encouraged and creatively but safely facilitated during Covid quarantine, with concern about the residents' emotional well-being. The facility gave her a fabulous and memorable milestone birthday party which the whole family deeply appreciated! (Some of us participated by Facetime or Zoom.) The administrator and staff gave us a lot of help and guidance in continuing to make sure we provide all the services and resources Mom needs, which have helped us through several crises. We're very thankful to have such a good facility so close to home.

Provider Response

Thank you very much for your review and all of your kind words. We are happy to serve your mom and are glad that she has chosen to make Forest Glen her home. We agree that Covid has presented unique challenges and we look forward to returning all of our normal activities as well. We enjoy providing memorable experiences and excellent care for our residents, and we are appreciative of your kind feedback. Thanks!

Forest Glen has been very good to my loved one. She has received good care consistently through the years she has been there. The staff is caring and always willing to hear anything I am concerned about. They always act on those concerns right away. The most important thing is being able to trust the caregivers when your not there and I do. I would definitely recommend Forest Glen to anyone looking for an assisted living facility.

The layout of the room is perfect for the resident to make it feel like home. My mother has told me several times how nice the staff is, and I have experienced the same. When asked for something, they have always promptly responded to our request and in a friendly manner.

I visited this facility

What I liked about Forest Glen Assisted Living in Dowagiac are the size and location. For someone who has lived in a small town, it feels like a small-town facility. The people have long-lasting relationships in the community. The staff that I met are very kind and they care about the individual. I got to talk to the chef and he considers that he's not just cooking at a facility, that he's cooking for "my people" and I like that. I think the place has only 20 units so it's very connected to the community style, which I like. It also has the side of being very, very professional. It's not dumpy because the management's good, but they have the community approach, which I like. Sometimes, if something is too community-like, the standards aren't good, but these people have it very nicely set up. They have a small-town social style, it's not like moving into a resort. The people that are moving in should see a culture that's familiar to the residents, they're matching the culture of the residents. I was not made aware of a lot of big fancy tricks or days at the opera or stuff like that. It truly welcomes visitors from the outside, which I think is important for this kind of facility, that the family members have access to their seniors. That's probably the best amenity. Their physical needs are met and they're welcoming to community members and family visiting. There's no tennis court, there are no rides to go shopping at the mall and things like that. It's kind of tailored more to meet the needs of the kind of people that are already there. I don't know how to describe it better.

My dad moved into Forest Glen Assisted Living. It is very good. His room is very clean. They've made every effort to make sure everything is up-to-date, and it is quite spacious. Everybody is friendly and helpful. He has been pleased with the food; it is fairly simple, but wholesome. The place is very clean. I've met the maintenance guy, and he is friendly with the residents, thorough in his job, and very meticulous. I have no complaints.

Provider Response

Caring for Residents and families is truly the heart of Forest Glen. We thank you for being part of our family and look forward to the continuation of providing a wonderful home for your dad.
