My mother moved in at the end of 2016. It has since been taken over by new owners. What a MESS. Poor staffing, disgusting food and lack of cleanliness are huge issues. I cannot in good conscience recommend this facility.

I highly recommend Beechwood Manor if your elderly relative is looking for an independent living or assisted living facility.

The only star I give is for several of the PSW staff who have gone above and beyond their daily duties. Communication is virtually non-existent!! It feels like you literally have to beg to get anything done or for anyone to pay attention! I went to every Manager and many PSW, every week with the same issues, the same concerns! It seems ok for a short time, then it is right back to how it was before!! The stress, anxiety and frustration that I have had to deal with in the past 6 years is ridiculous!! It goes from my dad having no clothing as they are/were so far behind in laundry to getting his wheel chair cleaned because it was absolutely disgusting!

Worst experience I have ever had with the Forrest Heights Admin staff!!!! Basically my father was…read moreadmitted into their care for the past 10 months he is only 60 and in poor health due to cancer. As soon as his health started to drastically decline they took an opportunity to squeeze as much money from myself and other family members. They claim his government subsidized room was dependent on his Notice of Assessment which was provided, however it was late and because of this they were unable to backdate his room expenses (a lie as this situation has happened before). They continue to harass me and my family and refuse to look into their application process in order to remedy the situation. This has all occurred 3 weeks before Christmas!! Whatever you do... do not sign any document stating you are financially responsible for your parent or loved one, they cannot legally evict that person so don't sign!!!
