I have lived at Forest Care Village for 16 years and it truly feels like home. The activities are enjoyable and I love being involved with the club and the local community. The physiotherapy team is very good and very supportive.
The food and meals are good, with a noticeable improvement since the
new catering service started. The staff are kind and caring, and the cleaners are amazing, everything is always kept very clean.
Everyone here feels like a friend, and there is a real sense of community. I am very happy living at Forest Care Village.

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

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)
