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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
