PositiveI am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
My friend was a resident of the Forest at Duke. It was much more expensive than we thought. They had a pool and games. They had a large dining room. They have paintings. They had a lot of things for the people who lived there. The staff was friendly but close-chested and didn't want to give too much information. They would say, go to our website, or things like that. The staff seemed very professional and knew what they were doing. I looked at the menu and the dining area. It looked like the people ate well.

CriticalI am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
My parents have lived at TFAD for almost 20 years. A quarter of a million dollars to move in and $10,000 a month to live there. Now, at 98 years old my father is unable to get the small details of care that he needs from the staff. We, the members of the family, have had to practically jump up and down on the heads of the staff to get them to pay attention to things like making sure his nails are cleaned and groomed and his hair is cut and combed and his wheelchair is cleaned everyday. We have been forced to hire a…

PositiveI am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
I had been to Forest at Duke before. I had a friend there. They have independent living where you can drive and stuff like that. My friend was blind, and she had a particular kind of ocular disease, so she couldn't go unless other people took her out. She got more care and more service there, so she was a little more on the intermediate side of things. She still had her apartment, but they came and checked on her and constantly interacted with her. She had a space that she could move around in with her blindne…

CriticalI am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
The Forest at Duke has been a very caring community. The meals are pretty good. With the pandemic, some of the activities have been falling down. There is not enough publicity on the activities that are offered and this causes some of the attendance to go down. Many of the activities are just recycled on a continuous loop on a local TV channel. Sometimes, these are just old movies. Residents are referred to an activities table where there are just pages to color with some announcements about activities, but there i…

PositiveI visited this facility
I like Duke, but I am not making changes as of now. They have very nice programs. They also have food, which you can use; they don’t want you take food in your apartments. They showed me all around, took me to dinner, and you can order what you want. They have programs and all kinds of activities.
★★★★★
PositiveI visited this facility
I visited The Forest at Duke, and they had a room for visitors. They had a lot of people coming in to different programs. They have bingo nights and a dining out experience rather than just a cafeteria. The chef looks like an award winning chef. The rooms were nice, and they have more like a suite.
