The workers here are inhumane and disgusting to the people who need assistance in living.

The building is horrible and falling apart; the bathrooms are disgusting along with the showers. The building is filled with mold that they refuse to fix; the residents have drugs in the room along with alcohol. Everything smells like piss in the building; the building is falling apart.

The building is horrible and falling apart; the bathrooms are disgusting along with the showers. The building is filled with mold that they refuse to fix; the residents have drugs in the room along with alcohol. Everything smells like piss in the building; the building is falling apart. They also serve old out of date canned food to them, If you care about your grandparents I highly recommend you do not bring them to this facility. They do not take care of the residents and bad mouth them with other workers; They do not pay attention to them and when they are in pain they drug then to the max; I've seen residents not shower for over a month. Over a year ago a resident fell outside and they did not discover his body over almost a week nor did they realize he was missing...while his body was rotting outside until a aid finally found him. If you love and care about your parents I'd highly recommend if look into a better facility to live the rest of their years at home before sending them to this facility. They will tell other aids about how they do but care.. who tells you they care about their health are full of LIES DO SO PLEASE DO NOT BRING THEM HERE. They also refusee to update the building because how cheap they are. Also if you still interested working here please check your pay stub before payday because they do not make sure that federal taxes are taken out and you will be owe thousands of dollars to the government. So keep a lookout on your paystub. The building needs to be shut down ASAP. Don't believe me, just take a walk through the building yourself and see everything for yourself ..all you will smell is urine and mold. Not to mention there's rats inside the building. That they can't get rid of.. They will try to confuse new people who are coming by speaking so highly of the facility. They try to make the facility look nice along with having animals outside for the residents but don't let it fool you. This facility is run down needs to be shut down ASAP!

I stayed at Caring Village of Forest Glen. It was highly expensive, it's very old, but I liked it because it had a call button, which is good for some people. The staff wasn't that great. I didn't see any activities there. Some staff was nice, the other staff was nasty. The taste of the food was horrible. The facility itself was nice, but if you take a close look, it was old. They have a petting zoo there.

The layout of Caring Village of Forest Glen is very nice because everything's central and then the rooms surround it. It feels homey, but it is dated, and I think it probably needs some updating on the wallpaper. I think they're in the process of remodeling, but the rooms felt a little bit more like a nursing home to us. It was just an older place. They've been painting the walls and everything was just kind of dingy. We didn't care for it, but I like the idea of what they're trying to do. It just probably needs to be modernized for what they're asking for compared to other places that we saw that were much newer. The lady who accommodated us was on her way out and didn't seem to be aware that we had an appointment and was kind of flabbergasted and disorganized and rushing, which was fine. I understand and she was nice.

I was so sad when I realized I needed to move my Mother In Law to a nursing home because we couldn't care for her anymore. We asked the staff at the rehab if they could recommend somewhere that Mom could be happy with her cat. They gave us 3 recommendations, but when we said Mom likes animals better than people they added Forest Glen... thank goodness! It really feels more like a hotel in Colorado than a sterile, boring nursing home! Forest Glen has amazing people... looking at you Heddy and Teresa who are so caring and kind to my Mother In Law. But the best thing is that they have a petting zoo that gets Mom out of her room and makes it pleasure to bring my granddaughter to visit because we can can all go up and look at the animals. No nursing home is perfect and we had a hiccup on move in day, but overall, I couldn't have found a better place for Mom!

My father and mother lives at this community. The staff are amazing and can handle anything. It is a very homelike environment. Staff make it feel like home and we are one big family.

The people are nice to a extant, moment the people have issues, the people want to voice to the leaders, but from what it has seemed. It goes to them and that's as far as it goes. When addressing the issues to whomever ever is taking care of the family's, it's a surprise to the workers. Because they have not heard anything of it. Amusing to the leaders I would assume. But to the people needs it's a messy situation. But from as far as i heard. The issues have continued and progress in small ways. Other issues have been fixed but needs attention. You know the story it's a ladder from the top down. Might be nice to look at the top bring the engagement of particular people. But looking clearly it's a muddy puddle they stand in in forms you can see. Nice people for the speaking In the beginning, but if they dont want the issues shown that are seen accusations arises. , it goes toward the unlikely hood of nice greetings. But the care is given to everyone. But where all human the mistakes should be known not hidden. Learned from not passed on. Where only as strong as the lesson we have gone though. Wish I could reverse the time I was ever here. But truth will always come back to show what really happened. Because truth can't change, lies fall apart. To all who should know. It's not negative towards the facility just a note to improve upon. Always be forth coming and the ways of the issues can be fixed if addressing in the appropriate way. Good day take care.

My friend moved here. It has a memory care adjacent to assisted living, and they allow their memory care patients to come and go. I liked that she's getting good care, her room is clean, the meals are good, and the group is good. She likes to play beach ball, she hates Bingo, she doesn't like cards, but she loves the church services. They have people come in, and she likes it when they visit.
