What people say about Forest Valley Terrace By Symphony

In September 2020, we moved my 93-year old mother to Forest Valley, as her cognitive decline and mobility issues made it very difficult for us to manage her continuing care. We feel fortunate to have found this wonderful and welcoming place and my mother has transitioned well to the facility, thanks to the very thoughtful and caring staff who do everything possible for the residents. I think it is a testimony to their dedication and perseverance that despite the challenges posed by the Covid cri

After researching different facilities with my siblings, we decided to enroll our mom at Forest Valley Terrace. We definitely made the right decision. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating, and our mom loves living there! She has multiple activities that she participates in on a daily basis and all her meals are chef-prepared. Our mom (who is fairly shy) has also made several friends with the other residents. Every time I've contacted Forest Valley Terrace with a question or concern

I'm very impressed with the care [my husband] is receiving. All the staff are very kind and considerate, and I feel comfortable in the knowledge that I chose the right place for him.

Beautiful home with great care. In spite of the covid pandemic all residents are safe and happy.

My husband moved to Forest Valley mid February of this year [2020]. It was their [specialization] in Memory Care that convinced us that they could provide both the care and stimulation he requires - and we haven’t been disappointed. I worried about his transition to new surroundings (which can be especially difficult for those suffering from dementia) but I’m convinced it’s been the right decision.

—Margaret McFetridge, family member

We love this place! … The building is a very unique space. Some of the original church is still in use and very tastefully incorporated into the main activity space. The staff all have a heart of gold.

—Mary Gingras, family member

This is a place where everyone is treated kindly, no matter what their ability.

The staff's training and compassion is outstanding! The true testimonial is how my mom can walk the hallways smiling, teasing and sharing her hugs with the staff... That is the result of her level of comfort here ... I know that my Mom is well cared for and safe.

—Carol, family member

[My mom had to leave] an assisted living facility because she tended to wander away due to her memory problems. Forest Valley Terrace is a nurturing environment, where there is music, kindness, friendship, spirituality and freedom. It lives up to all its promises and then some.
