We had such a great experience at Forest Hill. . The facility is very nice with view of a well manicured garden. The rooms are large and kept warm and cozy. The staff is kind, caring, compassionate and professional, from Jordan our wonderful case manager and Janet who communicated well and kind enough to order all the necessary equipment needed upon my husband's release. We loved all the wonderful caring nurses, to name a few Josie, Maria, both Isabella's, Nathen, Gordon , Gabie, the friendly PT staff, and all the other kind hardworking staff, house cleaning, kitchen, lundry staff . Thank you again for answering all my question so patiently and caring for my husband Ernie.

With Personal experience, I can say with certainty that this facility is sorely lacking. The staff…read moreis friendly but overworked. Some residents get excellent care while others are all but ignored. The administration is inexperienced and lacks management skills. The food is awful with some of the worst tasting and poorly prepared food I've ever tasted. No attention is paid to balanced meals or special needs diets. Laundry service is an absolute joke. If someone can be found to wash clothes or bedding, it may take 24 hours or more to have it returned. The longer it takes to be returned the more likely it will be lost. Clothing will quickly deteriorate because no attention is paid to separating colored from whites and high heat is used to dry everything. On the bright side, the campus is beautiful, cleaning is skillfully handled, and there is an engaged activities director. Residents are friendly and easy to get to know.

HORRIBLE PLACE!!! Care is sometimey! Two friends who do not…read moreknow each other had a parent residing at this facility. They BOTH pulled their parent out and placed in another facility. Mom moved from one bad place to another. She will not move again as this second move experience was AWFUL!! One of the things that sold us was wheelchair transportation to/from appointments. We informed them that her doctors were in Monterey and it wasn't until she was all moved in and deposit/rent paid that we were informed she would need to get new doctors as they don't transport to Monterey AND there is NOT wheelchair transportation. The only transportation they have is in a car that the resident has to transfer to/from chair to get in vehicle. Well this didn't go well with another resident. There was only one person transferring her to the car and the resident fell, shattered her ankle and broke her leg and will require a skin graph to cover the area. We were informed after Mom fell "with assistance" that she would require a two person assist. This only happened once when she came back from the hospital after this particular fall.

He and I walked into Carmelo Park and immediately knew that it would be a wonderful place for my mother. We had initially visited Songbird, their Salinas location, because we know two other families who have loved ones residing there, but felt that Carmelo Park was a better fit for mom. It has been nearly two years since she moved in and she has adjusted well. Sadly, I can tell you that there are other, larger, facilities on the Monterey Peninsula where staff members do not even know the names or medical conditions of the residents they serve. That is not the case with Carmelo Park. The staff treat my mom like family because it is run by a family, not a large corporation. From the activities, parties, snacks, and music, to the loving care she receives, we couldn't have asked for more regarding mom's care. I can wholeheartedly recommend Carmelo Park and feel that their caring staff and administrators have been a blessing in all our lives. Thank you Matt, Karie, Jennifer, and all the wonderful staff members who do such a wonderful job, you are very much appreciated!
