They will work with you whatever your situation or request might be. I have spoken to them about a larger room for my mom due to the serious issue with her legs becoming worse and her limited mobility. I have ever confidence they will make it happen. This is how important their residents are and will continue to be. Highly recommend them.

I went to look at Brookdale Forest City. I like the spacious rooms on the assisted living side. The rooms were set up almost like efficiency apartments without a stove, so it was really cute. It had a bedroom that was big enough for a single bed, a dresser, a chair, and a TV stand. It was more spacious than others. They have a nice garden area. It's like an enclosed patio. It's opened at the top, but the building surrounds it. It kind of sits in the center of the building. They had raised flower beds where people could grow and plant plants and flowers. They also had benches and a table with an umbrella. It was a nice little area. They also had physical therapy on the side of assisted living, which was pretty large. It was very spacious. They have a kitchen. The rooms and flooring need to be updated. It just seemed old. There were areas where it was dark. The dining room had a wood floor, which was fine. They had a large table in there. It kind of reminds me of the lodge in the dining room. The sitting room had a fireplace, which was nice. They had another large table in there and a few chairs. It's a small facility, so they get more one-on-one. The residents seem to get along quite well. They're very chatty.

I was concerned at first about putting my father in a facility we went and checked out several places at the time but when we met with the staff at Brookdale Forest City they was so kind and helpful I knew this was the place for him. My dad has been there now almost 6 months and he loves it they are such a great group of people. Every time I ask dad if he wants to go somewhere for the weekend or anytime he says no I am good this says a lot to me about the place.
Read moreMy sister has early onset dementia and has been with Brookdale for over a year now. I appreciate the way they communicate, care, and advocate for my sister. I'm thankful we have found a safe and loving environment for her.

Brookdale Forest City was very nice, very accommodating, and very easy to talk to. They answered all my questions. They had a room that was very much like what my mother-in-law is in now, which is a wide-open, big room with its own bathroom, but they did not have one available for us. Their activity board had a lot of things on it. They actually had a group doing some activity in a room and there was a gentleman there (a resident) that played the organ beautifully every day. So, that was nice.

My dad has been in Brookdale Forest City for a month now. The living atmosphere is terrific. Everything about it is good; I haven't found anything wrong with it. He loves the food there. The dining area is very fancy, very nice, and very homey. It doesn't look like an assisted living facility at all. They have all kinds of activities for them to do. They've got a calendar they put out every month and it's got all their activities on it. They got arts, different crafts, and all kinds of different things for them. They have a salon, a recreation room, and a rehab facility. The room is like a room in one of your houses would be. You can't tell any difference. It's very homey. It has a little sink, a refrigerator, a kitchenette, and a full bath. It's well worth the money. It's very well kept. We're very lucky to get him to be there.
