What residents and their loved ones say about Forest Valley Terrace By Symphony in reviews.
Donna & Ted O'Connor, family member
"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..."Gavyn Gooch, family member
"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..."Maureen Croteau, family member
"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. "Lifestyle

COVID-19 Information
All four Symphony Senior Living properties are completely COVID-19 free, we have been since the beginning of the pandemic in mid-March. We managed to stay this way because of our extremely dedicated staff and management teams along with our early implementation of safety guidelines!
Our properties have been keeping our friends and families up to date on Facebook with all our activities we've been doing to keep our residents engaged. Staff, managers, and residents have all showcased talents and found a way to have fun while being in quarantine. At the moment, we are not allowing any non-essential visitors so we set up Zoom accounts in every property so family members can connect with their loved ones virtually. We host virtual events and post on our social media daily.
We are now safety accepting new residents into our homes. The guidelines are as follows:
- Negative COVID test within 24 hours prior to admission
- Mandatory 14-day isolation period
- One time companionship fee for residents with dementia.
Call us today and schedule a virtual tour! We'd love to have you.
