Our warm, welcoming residence has the perfect balance of private and community living space, making it as quaint as it is functional—like home. We provide as little or as much assistance with daily activities and living as our residents require, along with many programs and services to help residents enjoy life and stay safe and comfortable.
We’re located in the community where many residents and staff have lived and worked throughout their lives—giving our community a close-knit, family-like feel. The goal of the Forest View Manor staff is to maintain and improve the health and wellbeing of each resident through support, encouragement, and empowerment. We provide assistance in a nonintrusive and unassuming manner, and treat residents with dignity, respect and kindness.
Our 18 staff members—some of whom have been here since the facility opened—are all CBRF-certified and must complete the nine CBRF-related training courses in order to be a caregiver at Forest View Manor. We have some caregivers with EMT experience, CNA licenses and one registered nurse (RN). On average, our caregivers have been with us 3-4 years and most have a minimum of 10 years of training/experience working with aging adults.
In our Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF), our caregivers can provide as little or as much assistance with daily activities and living as our residents require, along with many programs and services to help residents enjoy life and stay safe and comfortable. And, because we have the highest level of CBRF licensing, we can also support individuals requiring full assistance, including hospice care.
Our one-level facility has access to everything—without the need to climb stairs or use an elevator. With a square design and wide walkways, residents can move freely throughout the residence to access common areas or to stay active. Our outdoor walkway extends around the perimeter of the building for outdoor walks on our private, wooded lot.
Each resident will receive a Level of Care (LOC) assessment prior to admission, and periodically during their stay, in order to promote the highest level of independence and to calculate a pricing structure based on the individual’s specific needs. Our basic pricing structure includes services and amenities for daily living, including:
- Private room with a private bath and private climate control, cable TV, phone and refrigerator (in certain rooms only)
- Housekeeping
- Maintenance
- Laundry services
- Medication management
- Full-service breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with snacks
- Health monitoring
- Daily life enrichment activities and events
- Cable TV in common areas
- Local phone calls
- Utilities
We also provide (or can arrange for) specialty services that cover almost anything a resident may need or want now or in the future. These services and the costs associated with them, are provided up-front to prospective residents and their families so that you can choose what works best for your individual or loved one’s needs.
The safety and comfort of our residents is a priority of the staff and ownership of Forest View Manor. Our community is equipped with:
