Forestdale Park is a true home for those who live in this assisted living community. It is obvious to anyone who has loved ones there that the staff are very carefully selected for their professionalism, integrity, compassion, and attention to detail. The administrative leadership of Forestdale Park are also top tier and they are extremely reliable, knowledgable, open to feedback, quick to respond, and they know all the residents personally. The services, food selections, and cleanliness are extremely well orchestrated. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone whose loved one is considering assisted living. Our family has been extremely pleased and have great comfort knowing that our loved one has a second family watching over them.

When my mother made the decision that she needed a little extra help and living alone became very difficult, she chose Forestdale Park. Little did we know when she made this decision, that she would find a family and community that was so supportive. The activities, the relationships, and the care that she found there put her families' minds at ease. We all became part of this wonderful community. Right up until her last day, the community at Forestdale Park cared for her and gave her a full life in her senior years. Thank you to the staff and the residents for their their love and care.

Recently, after a hospital stay and a rehab stint, a dear family friend needed respite care. We discovered Forestdale Park Senior Living and I cannot say enough about the care our friend received during his stay. Forestdale is beautiful and spotless. The common rooms are lovely and home like. The individual apartments are spacious, bright and cheerful. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful and made our friend’s stay a pleasure. The level of professionalism was unparalleled. The food was delicious and healthy, and activities were engaging. I especially want to commend Sarah and Mike who were always available for support and helped with an easy transition. I would highly recommend Forestdale Park Senior Living for anyone looking for a warm, supportive, safe environment for a loved one.
