Warwick Forest Retirement Community

We have toured the Warwick Forest. The place was really nice. The specific floor plan we were looking at has additional storage room. Their separate storage area is very large. We had a choice of the carpeting, wooden floor, and the paint color, and which was really very nice. They had a theater, which is a little bit unusual, as other places we visited did not have a theater. They had standard transportation to doctors' appointments, shopping centers, and to local artistic theater. We ate there after the tour was over. They had the typical meal plan where you get 30 meals per month per person. The only downside is they do not carry over at the end of the month, so it is a use-it or lose-it meal plan. They have two doctors who live on-site and will actually come to your apartment to see you, house call style, which would be very appropriate. However, you're not required to use their doctors. If you don't want to switch from your current doctor, that's fine with them, but it is available to you.

My mother was in Warwick Forest for 20 years. When she was in independent-living, she was very happy. When she moved into assisted living in January of 2016, that’s when we saw a difference in care. The nursing staff was good, but they were experiencing a high turnover. The food was not good at all; half the time, it was cold. They didn’t have enough to go around for selections that were given for entrees. The community was built in the mid 70s, so it was dated.

Warwick Forest is the best one we liked. It's a large facility and affiliated with a hospital health system, it's very well-funded, and it has life care, independent living, assisted living, dementia units, full nursing homes, and a rehab facility. The maintenance is wonderful, and the rooms are very nice. We have a 1350 square foot apartment, and the food is good. It's not gourmet, but it's good food. It's like a restaurant-type system, and the restaurant is open from 8:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening. You can eat any and as many meals as you want there. You have an allocation that's approximately $10 a day as a part of your rent, and $10 goes a long way here because for example, you can get a buffet breakfast for $5 which is all you can eat, and you can get a $7.50 buffet dinner which includes everything from dessert, to entrees, to vegetables and all kinds of stuff.

Warwick Forest was a very good place, and it's probably where we're going. It was clean and well-organized. They had independent living, assisted living, and memory care. When your money runs short, they don't kick you out, but there was an upfront fee. They provide buses to the stores and trips. The environment of the place was good.

We have my parents in Assisted Living at Warwick Forest now. I’m very happy with them; they’re very responsive, and cleanliness is great. Dad fell last night, and they got him up. They have EMPs. With the transition, his blood sugar was going up and down, so they started monitoring it every four hours and kept an eye on it. Usually there’s one grumpy person, and I have found that grumpy person, so we just avoid her, but it’s been really good.

Warwick Forest was very good. The staff took as much time as we needed and answered all of our questions. Today, I visited my friend and the person who led the tour, probably two months ago remembered me and my name and I thought that was very good and thoughtful. My friend liked it.

I visited Warwick Forest Retirement Community. It was excellent. I was very impressed. It is beautiful and clean. It offered everything that we were looking for. The staff was very thorough in explaining the financial requirements as well as the living situation.

We checked Warwick Forest out, and they've all been very nice and very friendly. It's a lovely place. The apartments were very nice and well furnished. Everything was nice. We have eaten there several times, and the food was very good. They had two lovely dining rooms that were well furnished with lovely settings like a nice restaurant. They have a swimming pool, a movie theater, and an exercise room, and they have bingo.

Warwick Forest was a lovely area. It appeared to be well-maintained, it had everything that we needed, and it will be near my daughter's new house. They have movies and exercise, they have a swimming pool, they have grounds which you can walk on, and they have buses. They have just about everything that you need. It has three different restaurant type venues -- one is for formal dining, one for café dining, and another one is bistro style.

Residence areas are competitively priced but not too well maintained. Independent living apartments are attractive in design but somewhat noisey. Inconsistent oversight of general maintenance could indicate management indifference?

I like the location and I like the facility here at Warwick Forest. I like the surroundings. I visited to check the cleanliness and how they are treating the patient. From what I could see, it is clean. We spoke to a person, and he was OK and very knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions. The place was very colorful and very inviting in the entry way.

I visited Warwick Forest and I found it very good, but they are expensive.

This is one of the best facilities here in the Hampton Roads area. I have looked at and visited all facitlies - and by far, this is the most family oriented, friendly and caring place. The residents are treated as family-as are the members of family that do not live there. I would not want my mom to live any place else.

I have a brother who had to have total hip replacement surgery. He also has a history of seizures and blackouts. He was recommended to go there after his discharge from rehab. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The doctors there are very experienced with their knowledge of medical treatment. They have a very healthy menu plan for any diagnosis and the food is actully tasty.They also have a chaplain if either the patient or family want to consult with. The social workers make sure supplies are ordered and ready for use in facility and transitioning home. I would recommend this facility to any that is looking into long term care. It also has a very clean atmosphere, recreational activities for residents, as well as a library, and an exercise room. He is now able to function fully without any assistance and transitioned well back into an independent home.

I visted the assisted living facility as a volunteer. Upon my first visit, I noticed the immaculate docor and aura of the building. To the right of the front doors was a fancy, large sitting area with multiple shelves of books. The staff was friendly and inviting. After geeting to know a couple staff in particular, I was intrigued by their genuine care and affection towards the elders. The guest's schedule was relaxing but fun and engaging. They got to partake in activites such as bingo, concert nights, mall trips, and much more. Most of the poeple living there I met seemed to have a pretty upbeat vibe to them. Although their conditions and situations, they definatly seemed content and at home in the facility.

We have lived here in Independent Living for over three years. We are very disappointed, mostly in the quality of the food. Also, the new portion was poorly designed and constructed. Lowest quality appliances were provided. Administration markets this as an upscale community. Occupancy is low because of the economy. Administration is more concerned about attracting new residents than providing for the happiness and well being of those who have already moved in.
