Living Options & Care Levels
Forest Hill is built to support residents through different stages of aging, offering a range of care options that can meet changing needs over time. For those who require consistent daily support, long-term care provides 24-hour supervised assistance in a safe and structured environment. Residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia are cared for within a specialized memory care program, with secured living areas designed to offer both safety and comfort. When a resident reaches the final chapter of life, palliative care services are available on-site, ensuring that dignity, comfort, and compassion remain the priority throughout. Having all of these care options under one roof means that residents and their families rarely have to face the uncertainty of moving elsewhere as circumstances evolve.

The residence offers a variety of wellness programs designed to support both physical and emotional well-being, giving residents opportunities to stay active and engaged in ways that suit them. A library brings the joy of reading and learning to those who appreciate a quieter pursuit, while cultural celebrations throughout the year reflect the diverse backgrounds and traditions of the people who live here. The on-site spa and hair salon offer a welcome sense of personal care and pampering, and the beautiful gardens and grounds provide a tranquil setting for a gentle walk or simply sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air.

For adult children, knowing that their parent has access to around-the-clock supervised care, along with a wide range of health services available on-site, brings a deep sense of reassurance. For residents themselves, the combination of thoughtful programming, warm community spaces, and a setting that feels more like a home than a facility makes settling in feel natural. Trust is built over time, and at Forest Hill, the foundation for that trust is evident from the very first visit.
