Reviews Forwood Manor
July 2024
I accompanied my parents on their tour of Forwood Manor. Brian Abraham provided an informative yet not overwhelming experience. It was clearly evident that he has established a rapport with many staff and residents. The facility was clean and furnished beautifully. Forwood Manor has created a very "homey" and positive environment. Residents made it a point to welcome us and tell us how much they enjoyed their experiences there.
July 2024
A great experience today at Forwood Manor, thanks to Brian. He took the time to take us on a tour and explain everything about the accommodations and answered all of our questions and concerns. Brian was patient and wanted to make sure we were made fully aware of what Forwood Manor has to offer. We also thank you for your thoughtful gifts!

Beautiful facility! Everyone who work here is so nice! Great food!
September 2023
Big shout out to the staff at Forwood Manor! Only 5 days after my Mom and her partner moved to Independent Living she had a medical emergency and spent a few days in the hospital. Her partner is disabled and needed care. The Forwood team sprang into action. Brian, Tia, Pat, Jubian worked together to arrange for a quick transfer to assisted living until my Mom recovers. Their extra efforts helped our family navigate through a very difficult and stressful time. I would like to add that the facility is well maintained with lovely common areas, always clean and inviting. The apartments are the best we saw after touring many retirement communities. The entire staff are caring and responsive. I expect in another 20 years I too will call Forwood Manor my home!

Amy Ghebrehiwot is a rock star! Adter touring the community with my mom she remembered every little detail of of needs and likes and interests. When I went to visit the community and the residence unit my mom was highly I interested in, Amy knew exactly all the things that were important to my mom. She demonstrated her caring approach and was not just selling a unit - she was helping mom to envision a whole new lifestyle.
July 2023
We visited Forwood Manor to see if it was the right fit for my 92-yr old Mom. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Bryan and Amy were so caring and gentle and helped to allay her fears and concerns about such a big life change.
July 2022
My mother has been at Forwood Manor for several years, first in Independent Living and more recently in Assisted Living. Her experience in both areas has been exceptional. She loves the food and the activities are wonderful. But most important is the care she gets from the nurses in Assisted Living. They truly care about her comfort and well-being, and my mother appreciates that enormously. And so do I.
July 2022
Forward Manor has a caring staff and great facility, I feel confident and secure that mom will be taken care of even though I live far away, they have lots of activities, the food is great, the residents are friendly and my mom is happy

A letter to future families of Forwood Manor,My brother and I are writing this so that anyone considering Forwood Manor Senior Living knows that they and, or their loves ones will not be disappointed. With that being said, we wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Executive Director, management and all the staff, along with the residents, as they made our parents feel at home since the day we walked in the door almost six years ago.Over the years, both of our parents transitioned multiple times from short-term rehab, to Independent Living, and then Assisted Living, all while never having to leave the community. With each move, they were properly cared for, treated with dignity and given the utmost respect - right up until their recent passing.From the beginning, we have been delighted with their experience, as Forwood has always considered our parents (and us as their children) part of the Forwood Family. We had, and continue to have, the ultimate confidence in how they have been handling the COVID-19 situation. We were always satisfied with their genuine compassion to do right by the residents, but to have full trust in this team was always the most comforting.Now, we hope you take comfort in the wonderful experience we had and know that that would be extended to your family as well.Sincerely,Mark and Ernie Purnell

This is a beautiful place to live. The grounds are lovely and well-maintained, the staff members are considerate and helpful, and the residents quickly become friends with each other.Individual apartments are large and comfortable, and residents enjoy decorating them with their own favorite furnishings. There are beautiful guest rooms as well, so that out-of-town visitors can be conveniently housed while they are here.The calendar is filled with activities for everyone, according to each persons interests. This is a great place to continue to grow in spirit and to enjoy Life!
September 2020
Sales director was knowledgeable, informative and above all, very professional. Having someone that makes you feel welcome and comfortable, especially when it involves my mothers care and security, is a wonderful feeling. If you are looking into assisted living residences, you wont be disappointed with them.
July 2020
I cant say enough good about Starlite, a program to provide non-medical assistance to Forwood Independent Living residents. The staff member who routinely supports my mother brightens-up the day in many ways. She has a smile and personality that is contagious and always goes the extra mile to ensure that needs are satisfied. The value that she adds has been especially welcome during the global pandemic when access to the facility by family is limited and the need for resident companionship and a friendly conversation is at a premium.
April 2020
My parents moved into Forwood Manor in August and they have been treated with kindness and respect. Jamie and the rest of the staff have gone out of their way to make their new home, feel like HOME. There are many opportunities to get involved, and the residents are very friendly and welcoming.
April 2020
This is a beautiful Senior Living facility. I toured it and found it to have a great atmosphere and very happy tenants.

November 2019
My grandmother was a resident there while she was still alive and always spoke so highly of Forwood Manor. Specifically she mentioned the friendliness of the staff, the delicious meals (soup in particular), cleanthiness of the facilities, and all of the wonderful daily activities that were planned to bring the Manor community together. I highly recommend Forward Manor to everyone searching for great accommodations for their aging family members.
October 2019
After a diagnosis of COPD, my siblings and I had to move our father to a more assisted facility, although he was still able to move around on his own. He lived there for about a year and a half before passing, but he loved it. He continually raved about the staff, the meals and his new-found friends. We would highly recommend Forwood Manor that feels more like home than a facility.
October 2019
Forwood Manor is a great facility, The staffs are very kind and help, especially the HR director Ada. She is a wonderful person. She is always willing to lend a helping hand. she is amazing, I recommend she gets a reward for her great services.

Mr. Greer and his staff are wonderful! They communicate well with the family and go above and beyond caring for my father-in-law.

We had a very close friend Delores who lived there and from the apartment living to the attention she received while in the health care center I have to say I wish I could post 6 stars! The food prepared by chef Charlie is amazing!
April 2019
Excellent facilities. Every staff member was smiling and happy to help with any questions I had. Robert Greer showed us around and made it a pleasant experience!
March 2019
I joined Forwood Manor on March 24th 2014 and I credit the Director for its success. Everyone calls him by his first name, Robert Greer. He. is Resident motivated.and his decisions are based upon what is best for the Residents.. I have seen this firsthand on many occasions.

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit several of my friends in Independent Living last week. Upon entering the dining room I spotted my friend Brad with a group of his friends in happy conversation and enjoying lunch. Their server could not have been more accommodating to the group. What great piece of mind knowing that Brad is in such a wonderful caring environment! Thank you!

My very elderly aunt is well taken care of and comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful and the food is delicious.

This community is absolutely STUNNING!!! As a senior care professional I couldnt be more enamored with the employees who work there as well as the building itself. This definitely is a place to recommend to families looking for a place for their aging loved ones.
