WAREHAM HEALTHCARE

When it became time to admit that my father needed to be in a nursing facility Forest View was the only place I felt comfortable knowing he would receive quality care. Throughout the years my father has been in and out of rehabilitation in MANY different facilities. I can say that some of them horrified me and others were ok for short term but would not consider for long term. The first time he went to Forest view I was very impressed with the surroundings and the friendliness of the staff. They kept me well informed as to my father’s progression in his treatment. He is not the easiest person to get along with however; the staff always treated him with respect and kindness always. When it got to the point that he could no longer live on his own, this was the only place I knew that could handle his needs and personality. Everyone from nursing to cleaning staff do an outstanding job with him and I can't speak more highly of his social worker. They always keep me in the loop with all that is going on with him whether it is bad or good. The atmosphere does not feel like your average nursing facility, it feels more like an extended home. Everyone knows the patients name and will take the time to say "hello, how are you doing?" They respond the same way to family members. My father has been there for over two years now and it gives me great comfort to know that he is in a safe and nurturing environment.

Horrible Place!! If you really care about your loved ones don't place them here! We put my Mother here after a month long stay at the hospital and we had to basically supervise her care as this staff is uncaring, unwilling and understaffed. Mom called in the middle of the night for our help because the ONE nurse on duty was no where to be found! When we called the facility and spoke to the nurse and told her Mom needed her she said and I quote.." I'm the ONLY nurse here and I only have one Aide and 30 patients..I can't be in her room 24/7!" Our Mother died Dec 26th as a direct result of this facilities inapt approach to healthcare. The Manager had made all sorts of promises of care for Mom but they were empty promises. The staff spends more time smoking outside then taking care of the sick and helpless patients. To be fare there were a select few employees who actually gave a dam but unfortunately they were the minority. Again TRUST ME, Please choose wisely when it comes to rehabilitation for your loved ones.

Terribly understaffed, my wife is staying there! most of staff is kind and cordial but grossly underpaid, the weekday receptionist is rude and insulting, both in person and on the phone! She has to understand that people are already saddened by going to visit their loved ones and her rudeness is making things worse!!! Some respect is warranted in her job when dealing with friends and loved ones staying there!!

I went there last week to visit a possible move for my sister and I walked into a very clean place looked totally 100% better where my sister was at that moment. I moved her into and everyone was very helpful and also the dresser my sister had didnt make the trip so they actually had an extra so no need to get her a replacement because they replaced it. Also the room she is in was spotless and also while walking down the hall way, we noticed the floors were getting waxed. Where my sister was again I dont even think they swept Giving it a try and I will repost in a few months

I would like to say that my cousin{. Christine } has been here for 4 month and all i can say is the staff is very kind and professioal nurse Jennifer Levine and nurse al price was top notch in my book my cousin also had the best cna i have ever encountered Shelly barbosa was kind an loving to my cousin she treated her like she was family .. again and you very much from the ST.Lauren family .
