Rachel Jones RN, CM, DN and Director of Personal Care at Forest Hill Heights started working here 11 years ago as a server in the dining room while she was in high school. After her high school, with the encouragement of one of the residents who was a retired nurse, Rachel worked her way up through the nursing department as a Personal Care Aide, CMT, LPN Floor Nurse and now RN and Director. Her role is to oversee all medical aspects of residential life.

Something special about her is that her grandmother lived at Forest Hill Heights for 4 years and that gave her a unique perspective on resident life at Forest Hill Heights. FHH has become her home away from home with all her time here. She considers all her coworkers and the residents her family too and she strives to always have her doors open to staff, residents, and families. The nursing department at FHH aims to provide the most personalized care for your loved one.

Krystiana has been working in the senior living community since she was 16 years old. Starting her first job here at FHH in the dining room in 2017, she developed a deep connection with both the residents and amazing staff. Her experience here at FHH motivated her to pursue her RN nursing degree. Krystiana has held many titles here at FHH, from Dining Room Coordinator to Personal Care Aide, and now currently our RN Case Manager. She works closely with our Director of Nursing to develop individualized plans of care for all the residents here at FHH, ensuring that both residents and families have the best experience possible and get the care that they truly deserve.

Culinary Director at Forest Hill Heights, Rose Jorgenson’s goal is to provide nutritious, restaurant-oriented meals in the Dining Room. Rose makes sure the menus are updated frequently and change seasonally to keep the meals interesting and to appeal to different tastes. The Dining Room is treated like a restaurant but also allowing each resident to have someone to eat with, which is a great way to increase socialization and enjoyment.

Rose is a lifelong resident of Harford County and was very fortunate to have their mother live here at Forest Hill Heights for 6 and a half years. Rose’s team and they themselves aim to provide a pleasant and clean atmosphere so that each resident can enjoy the mealtimes.
