On the contrary – we recognize that each of our residents have individual needs. At Forest Hill Heights we promote resident independence and provide an environment that encourages this to the level of each individual resident.
Should I expect a large Entrance Fee?
Our communities do not require a large “buy in” option. The entrance fee is a one-time fee due at admission, compared to larger CCRC’s, this entrance fee is minimal. Our assistance provides a seamless move in process where the SMDR and/or Case Manager work alongside the responsible parties to obtain the required documentation needed for an admission.
