Good for Independent Living
Forwood Manor turned out to be a good transition for my friend. There are minimal safety features, fall alert and some pull-chains and a dining room for meals. It doesn't have the level of intrusiveness that assisted living has. The apartment is generously sized and we were thrilled with the patio door leading to the outside for the dog, they are pet friendly. Everyone has been very nice, we've had a few maintenance issues that could have been addressed more quickly, but other than that a good fit so far.

Wonderful experience at Forwood
I had a really wonderful tour at Forwood Manor, led by [Name Removed], who is one of the most delightful people ever. He knew everyone’s name in the place and had a hello and a kind word for each of them, staff and residents alike. I’d been quite nervous and worried about what to expect, and I was put at ease immediately. I can tell [Name Removed] truly cares about the residents and their families. The best part is that he gave me hope that my mom could have a better quality of life, and that meant the world to me.

Great fit
My mom is 93 and worked until she was 91. Candidly, she never wanted to live in a group setting, but a year ago she broke her hip and had to move to independent care in NJ. Since her four kids were now spread from NH to NC, I was the closest one, 2 hours away, in DE. Forwood came to mind because we are friends w [name removed]. [name removed] and the whole Forwood experience have been great. Moving here from NJ made sense: 1) it’s over $2k cheaper per month; 2) she’s closer to family (10 min); 3) space is close to double what she had; and 4) intellectually, it’s a great fit because she’s still reading novels, so the fact that 70% of the residents are in independent living means she has a lot of people there whose minds are still fully engaged. [name removed] has been great throughout the process. Listened and responded well to her needs and has been helping her transition and build a new network. She’s very happy there, which gives us peace of mind, and she’s just 10 min away.

[name removed] are wonderful leaders! Everyone is kind, caring, friendly and there to help. My mother recently went through a health crisis and [name removed] helped my family navigate getting my mother into their assisted living program. It was painless! The last thing you want to worry about is the details when you are struggling with a loved one’s health. [name removed] took care of the details of mom’s new living situation while my family took care of mom. I cannot say enough about this wonderful facility!!! I love Forwood Manor!

A magnificent choice for independent living
I would say that the balance between independence and care is just what she needed being mobile. She had the option to be very social or private as she chose- she was able to manage her own medication and self care while they provided meals housekeeping security and risk-free living. They also provide car services and weekly shopping trips for the residents. She had a great experience here at Forwood Manor.

Kathy, thanks for touring our community and for your feedback. While our community may be a bit more established we have vibrant, young-at-heart residents and dynamic team members. Our residents love congregating around the fireplace and grand piano, eating in the exquisite dining room, soaking up the sun in the stunning courtyard, and walking through our 13-acre sanctuary. We'd be happy to introduce you to some of our residents who can tell you about life at Forwood Manor. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Deception and Staffs lack of efficiency
I needed a location that would allow my service dog and 2 emotional support dogs. When I signed my 2 month lease I stated several time I had my three dogs and was reassured that wouldn’t be a problem. But in the dining area they didn’t want my service dog there. I had to tell them the law. Socialization, activities none. Maintenance never helped with my carpet. I had a fall and spent several days in the hospital. Upon return I spend tine in the medical unit. There I witnessed staff belittling 2 residents and treating me like a leaper. They required I take a COVID test, but 2 months I am still waiting. And I’m waiting for my COVID injection. And was told I had to get rid of my dogs. I came because I was told I could have my three dogs. Staff that delivers my meals are ok if you like your drinks spilled on the tray. Staff that deliver the mail are friendly. Can’t get involved in any activities. I came so I could keep my 3 dogs I love the location but,

Not worth the money
I would not recommend this ‘5 star’ community. Highly disappointed for the incredible amount of money my father spends every month. My father has been at Forwood for 3 months, he moved here after my mother died. He was very lonely and we thought this would be a great way for him to meet people. Covid is still going on and this facility does nothing to help the seniors stay active and provides NOTHING for to do to interact safely on a daily basis. After a storm over a month ago, the front entrance is still in disarray and no work has been completed to fix the entire front entrance and adjacent meeting area for guests ‘who are not allowed to visit’. My father wants to move and we are looking. You pay a 4000 dollar one time fee....you get nothing for this! Do not place your loved ones here...it is all a lie to get your money!

I am the Executive Director and would like to speak with you about your comments. When the COVID-19 crisis started and we curtailed many of our activities we understood these restrictions would result in some hardship for residents and their families, but took these steps to safeguard our entire community. Our team members have been supplementing individual activities and programming to try to keep all our residents engaged and from feeling isolated, and also have made counselors available to residents who may especially feel affected by COVID-19. As you know, we did sustain storm related damage last month but are working hard to get that repaired as soon as we can and hope it is behind us within the next month. In the meantime we continue to offer Sunshine visits 7 days per week by appointment and are actively planning for small group activities once the repairs have been completed. Please contact me at the community at your earliest convenience so we may discuss this in further detail.

While my in-person tour was restricted due to Covid-19, [name removed] was most helpful in describing the apartment layout along with detail of the unit paint/carpet scheme. It would appear that Forwood Manor management has instituted very strict safety requirements (gowns, masks, gloves, face shield), which is a sign of their concern for the safety of residents and employees. [name removed] is a wealth of knowledge about the facility and the management company. I saw residents walking outside on the property wearing appropriate safety masks. From the outside of the building, I saw that the apartment I was considering has 2 big bay windows, which look ideal for plants. Forwood Manor appears to be a nice place to live.

Safe but lonely
We chose this community because of the activities provided and the food, but both have been impacted because of the virus. The room sizes are nice, my mother has two nice walk in closets. She ate here once before the shutdown and they served restaurant style. Now because of COVID, they deliver the food to her room. My favorite part about the community so far has been that they really try to create a community environment. They had a parade of antique cars come by and the staff did Christmas in July carols in the hallway. They are making an effort during the restrictions. I would recommend Forwood Manor.

Excellent care! I call the staff mom's "Forwood Angels."
My mother has been in Forwood Manor for over 5 years, first in Independent Living and now in Assisted Living. The best thing about Fowood is the staff. My mother absolutely loves them, so of course I do too. I call them her Forwood Angels! Back when I could visit in person I enjoyed meeting the nurses and managers -- they are such caring people, and getting to know them gave me full confidence that mom was in the best of hands. I should add that Mom also LOVES the food. Lots of choices. And when she's too tired to go to the dining room for breakfast they bring it to her -- happily! During the Covid-19 pandemic I have kept in close touch with management and they have been meticulous in keeping mom safe. Of course it's sad that I can't visit her now, but at least I know she's safe and happy, and Forwood has facilitated zoom calls so that we can still see each other from afar. Thank you Forwood Manor for giving me piece of mind!

Not a retirement community for Mom
We have been touring communities in the Wilmington area for our Mom. This community is very nice, get appeal when walking up to the main entrance, the elderly have porches on the first floor. (Loved it). Friendly front desk person and a great room just off the main lobby. The elderly had an entertainer preforming and they were enjoying it. Only a couple of down falls for this community, the front hallways to get to the assisted living or any main common areas (like dinning room, the front lobby great room, activities room) are long and dark (need to invest in better lighting). The carpets are dated and very dark, which doesn't help with the lighting of the hallways. The independent living very beautiful, but they need to make improve the assisted living to the standards of the independent living. The assisted living looks like a step-sister and has not had any attention to it. Apartments in the assisted living looked more like a converted nursing home room. Nothing worth mentioning. Prices were a little high, for not a great assisted living. Not a place for Mom.

Response from Forwood Manor
November 21, 2018
Betsy, as the Regional Director of Operations I want to assure you it is our goal to exceed expectations for all our residents and their families in all of our interactions. I am sorry to read you did not feel this was true when your mother was in our Skilled Nursing neighborhood. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding your observations as we hold our staff to the highest standards for care and compassion. Please contact me by calling the community and asking to speak to the Regional Director of Operations. Kind regards, Wendy.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Delaware regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Delaware regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Forwood Manor

A Place for Mom has scored Forwood Manor 9.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
