Governors Walk’s setting in a historic monastery hints at the disciplined compassion at work here. There seems to be a good spirit that flows through this place. It’s communal living with heart and soul, founded today on the staff’s enthusiasm for caring for seniors.
This caring community is perfectly situated to help families from throughout the area. Onsite pampering includes a spa, hair salon and other similar amenities, attended with kindness, care and friendship. It also deserves recognition as the safest, most ideal environment possible for seniors suffering from dementia. The environment is mentally stimulating, with people engaging in golf, bingo and many other inter-activities with companions who are "in the same boat."
A member of my family was at Governor's Walk for 6 days of respite care post-surgery in February 2024. We were happy with everything. The staff and the nurses were caring and interested yet non-intrusive. We saw several times when the staff went out of their way to help their resident (eg.; the receptionist getting a resident a blanket from another floor bc the resident was cold at movie night; a confused resident reassured that she wasn't lost and taken back to her room.) The room was comfortable and charming with its bay window and walk-in shower. The renovations look great and there will soon be an activity room on the first floor. The food was good and varied. I highly recommend the bran muffins. Also, the parking was plentiful and convenient so it made our visits easy. We would return here in an instant. The staff were sweet calling it a "Hotel Stay" not respite care! Thank you, Governor's Walk.
In December 2021 I started my fourth year at Governors Walk. Every day I feel fortunate to live in such a wonderful home where the staff at all levels is caring, sensitive and competent. My suite as well as all common areas are kept clean, the dining room is attractive and the food well above average. My husband was bedridden for 2 months and died in September 2021. The care and affection he received were exceptional. I don't think I could find a better place to live.
I have lived at Governors Walk for 4 years and love it. The food is great and the staff are very helpful. They are always warm and caring. I highly recommend Governors Walk.
My aunt has been at this residence for years. She loves the food and friendly atmosphere.
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 crisis, appropriate measures were instituted to safeguard the facility and residents from the virus (no cases here, whereas other seniors residences were hit hard). Even though these measures meant restricted access to loved ones, the staff have also done their best to link families via Zoom calls so that we can keep in contact and be aware of the activities and enrichment programs offered to our loved ones. We offer our highest recommendation for the quality care provided by the floor staff and management of Forest Valley.
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 the staff have dealt with my issue immediately. Great staff, great food, great facility! And one of the few long-term care facilities that has never had a single case of Covid. We are so lucky that our mom is living at Forest Valley Terrace!
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.
