Forest Care Village have taken great care of my mum, she is visiting for a month. Every single carer has been absolutely brilliant, so friendly and caring. My mum is particularly enjoying the food and activities she has mentioned several times how delicious the food is. I trust that my mum is in safe
hands and I feel grateful that there is a forever home waiting when she is ready.

I recently visited a friend at Forest Care Village and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, creating a friendly atmosphere that made both residents and visitors feel at home. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and beautifully designed,
providing a comfortable environment.
During my visit, I was impressed by the variety of activities available for residents, fostering a sense of community and engagement. My friend spoke highly of the personalized care they receive, and it was evident that the staff genuinely care about each resident's well-being.
Overall, I highly recommend Forest Care Village, for anyone looking for a supportive and nurturing environment for their loved ones. It truly feels like a home away from home.

I have been here for almost six years if only it had happened many years ago. From the age of ten, I have suffered from mental health. I have been in mental wards in various hospitals and I didn't want to leave. But since arriving in Forrest Care it has felt like home without any pressure or (just occasionally).
For me, it has been the best years of my life apart from many my early years at Primary School and living rough on the Isle of Wight (both pressure-free)

Since I was admitted by kind staff who came to see me at the hospital. I've been treated so well and professionally that it has made a big impact on my life, as I was in a poor state of health, which is good now, thanks to all and everyone here who turned my life into a life to go forward. I'm very
grateful to you all. Many thanks.

I can't express enough of all the help the home did for my uncle. He was well cared for, loved and made to feel very comfortable. They made the whole family welcome and even provided tea and toast on the nights staying with him. Thank you. The community in the home is just brilliant. Thank you for everything.
