The Pavillions At Forrestal

From the moment I entered the building before my tour, I was blown away by the beauty of the facility. I was a little weary, but as soon as I met with Admissions, I was blown away. I decided to place my mother at the Pavilions At Forrestal in the Dementia unit, after a long, long time of thinking and bothering the place with pointless questions and countless tours. At first I was nervous, seeing all the residents with Alzheimer's and Dementia was extremely over whelming. Ill never forget the day I came in and walked upstairs and went into the unit and saw everyone singing and dancing, I normally come really late, and all the happy faces really made my heart melt, from the nursing staff to the activities staff that were there, they seemed happy to be there singing and dancing with my mother and not forced either. The finial days of the mothers life were very hard for me, and the entire staff, even the ones I have never met before, made an effort to come speak with me and tell me how much they care for my Mother. She was truly loved and taken care of there, I would live there myself if I had the chance. I have told everyone I met about this place, and will continue to.
