Forwood Manor offers a wide range of care and services for older adults who need different levels of support, whether someone wants independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing, and what stands out is that everything happens on one campus so folks can stay in the same community as their needs change, with continuing care retirement community options. The campus has well-designed and spacious apartments with kitchenettes or full kitchens, and some suites have private bedrooms with queen-sized beds, nightstands, and large windows that let in plenty of light, and everything is made to feel familiar and comfortable, with cozy living rooms, elegant dining rooms with white linens and chandeliers, and common areas with leather couches and a grand piano. Residents get to use the indoor heated pool, outdoor pool, community parks, a dog park, a gazebo, and even a clubhouse, and strolls through community gardens or along the pond or lake are part of daily life, which helps make it feel homey and close to nature.
There's help for daily tasks like bathing or medication if needed, and the staff stays friendly and well-trained without being overbearing, and anyone can join the activities, whether it's a craft class, educational talks, movie nights in the theater, or trips and outings to local shops and sites, so people aren't left bored or lonely. The MyChoice Dining Program and Five Star dining experience mean meals are covered in different plans, so there are options whether you want one, two, or three meals in the restaurant-style dining hall, with private dining rooms available for special occasions, and care-focused dining rooms make sure people who need extra support during meals get it. Residents can get housekeeping, full laundry, in-house religious services in the chapel, and even in-house doctor visits when necessary.
The grounds are fully landscaped over 13 acres with lots of places to sit and relax, including patios, balconies, and a lawn, and there's a pet-friendly policy with pet therapy too, so people can keep their animal companions. Forwood Manor puts health first, with no smoking indoors, and access to a fitness center with treadmills, bikes, and exercise gear. There are community computer workstations, a library, and a beauty salon and barbershop onsite, plus a cocktail lounge for a change of pace, and residents can take part in games, clubs, and volunteer events in the activity studio or social rooms. Security is a focus, with emergency call buttons in rooms, a gated entry, parking on site, and covered parking for those who drive.
For those needing more support, Forwood Manor includes memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, as well as rehab and respite care for recovery times, so families can get help whenever needed, even for short-term stays or adult day care, and there's a gentle, supportive feeling throughout without being stuffy or overly restrictive. Transportation is available for shopping, errands, or medical appointments, and outings are planned regularly to keep life interesting. Forwood Manor tries to be a place where older adults can live as independently as possible, stay active in mind and body, and enjoy the company of others in a safe, caring setting.
