I was at Forwood Manor for lunch, the food was excellent, and the cafeteria and the staff was excellent as well. The rooms weren't organized, it's like they're being used for storage. They provide everything except for the phone, and they had pretty decent activities. They wanted me to start a dance class.

I liked Forwood Manor because I'd have my own kitchen and it was lovely. They had a craft room, a greenhouse, a gym, a very large living room, little nooks on each floor that had books and puzzles, a library, and a room if your family wanted to come and eat. It was three floors, and the rooms were very big. It was like your own home. The staff was nice. I was able to go outside and walk around.

We have chosen Forwood Manor. I met two staff members and they were very nice and open. When you walk in, there are two doors that open to a nice area, and across the hall is a huge living room. We like the floor plan because there's two walk-in closets, which I think is good. It seems that any activities you're interested in, they have it going on there. They have a library too. They have crafts, sewing and cooking groups, they go out on small trips, and they go out to eat once a month. The menus are very nice too. When you go in, they have all these coffees and teas, and you can go down there any time during the day and get coffee or tea.

I liked the layout of Forwood Manor and the different pricing options. It seemed to be very well run and sounded like a good place to live. They showed us a two-bedroom apartment and the cottage, and they were adequate in size. There was an exercise room but no swimming pool.

My visit to Forwood Manor was good, but it did not have cottages, only apartments. The staff was very nice and friendly. The environment was warm and friendly, and the residents spoke very highly about the community.

Forwood Manor had several levels of care. The place was clean and beautifully furnished. The staff was excellent and helpful. There were lots of activities. I spoke with one of the residents who talked favorably about outside trips that were sponsored by the facility and also about a group that got together regularly for jigsaw puzzles, something that was organized by the residents. The people were taking an active role in forwarding activities that they were interested in and organizing clubs. When I took my mother back, they served lunch, and the food was really good and restaurant quality.

I got a really incredible deal with Forwood Manor for my aunt. I was able to save close to $2,000.00. We got the biggest room with a kitchenette, a very big living room area, a huge bedroom, and two walk-in closets. They provide three meals, but we had to pay extra for the extra help. Overall, it was a nice deal. The place is big; it has lots of people at all levels of ability. She had a greater chance of finding people like her, and she did, immediately. The chef there is incredible, and the food is really good. They have a van that can take them to a store if they want. She has a more fulfilling social life there.

We had a wonderful visit at Forwood Manor and it was very nice. They lady we spoke to at the sales department was very nice. We went in, toured the facility, had lunch and the food was good. My mom liked it. The atmosphere was also set up like a restaurant and that was nice. The rooms were in very good size, but it was set up like the older style. The kitchen was totally blocked off from the rest of the place. The washer and dryer were down the hallway. My mom was 85 and my mom would be much comfortable with the washer and dryer inside the apartment. However, they offered a lot of stuff too. They offered a lot of activities and there was a pharmacy in there. I thought there was a doctor and that came in so many times a week. I just wasn't where my mom wanted to go, but I would recommend them to others.
