I chose Warwick Forest Retirement Community because of how the apartments were laid out. It wasn't near as big as another place I visited, and the area outside was pretty compact and easy for me to get around. They had a gated entrance and covered parking, and they had assigned parking. I first started by looking at a one-bedroom, then I went to a two-bedroom unit because the two-bedroom units on the first floor have outdoor entrances. I like that because it made it easier for me to walk my pet, and I didn't have to walk her through the hallways. They had swimming, physical therapy, workout rooms, a couple of different dining rooms, a casual bar, and movie nights. I liked it better than some of the others that I had seen. It's large enough for me. I had a meal, and it was very good. Their menu and the service that they provided were very, very good.

My mother has lived at this facility for 10 months. Since day one there has been nothing but communication issues. Her “care plan” was never properly reviewed until after she lived there for 8 months…even after we repeatedly made attempts to discuss with staff. After an extensive discussion with administration and what was perceived to be an agreed upon plan there is still no follow-up to that by the staff. There are certain prompts that we discussed she needs on a daily basis that she does not get. As a result this directly effects her quality of life at this facility. Calls to various members of the staff either go unanswered or brushed off. Their turnover is surprisingly high, especially considering we were told during the sales pitch this was not the case. Even worse is the fact that unbeknownst to me they were administering a cancer medication that she had been off of for three years. There is no accountability whatsoever at this place. Their only saving grace is the beauty of the facility itself and the quality of food that is served. It’s gotten so bad that we have been actively seeking a new residence for her to move into as soon as possible. I write this to make others aware that the sales pitch is misleading and they will never ever be a proper advocate for your loved one at a time when they need it most.

Warwick Forest Retirement Community was lovely. They have a lot of amenities like a nice big library, a pool, and a workout room. That would be my first choice, but you have to pay a lot upfront and then you have to pay a lot every month. The rooms were nice, though. When we first moved into this area, my husband and I looked at their beautiful little cottages. They'll move you there and paint the walls, which would be very accommodating if you have the money. It's also in a pleasant setting. It's wooded, grassy with walking paths, benches, and so on. It was very nice. The lady who did the tour was very nice, very knowledgeable, and not pushy.

We chose Warwick Forest Retirement Community for my mother because it was convenient and appeared nice and everything matched up to what we were looking for. The rooms are nice and fairly large. So far, so good. She's only been there for a week or so, so we're just kind of seeing how things go. My mother isn't one that participates in a whole lot of different things. They have activities, but it's limited because of Covid. Everything is pretty much inside there in the building, and they're not letting people come in because of Covid. She seems to be okay with the food.

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.
