Additional Forest View Services..

Residents’ Council

The Residents’ Council at Forest View allows residents to voice their concerns, protect their interests, and participate in decision making about areas that affect their daily lives, both within the facility and in the community.

Membership in the Council is open to all residents of the facility, and officers from among the residents are elected annually.

The Council meets as often as the residents deem necessary, currently once a month. At each meeting, a designated representative, appointed by the council coordinates the Council, and members of Forest View’s supervisory staff are invited at the request of members.

The recreation director and the director of social services serve as liaison persons between the Council and administrative staff. Administration ensures that any complaints, problems or issues reported by the council are addressed. Residents can also plan trips, entertainment, and choose meals through their elected representatives.

Social Work Services

Forest View’s experienced social workers offer patients and families the emotional support and reassurance they need to ease the transition into our facility. Social workers regularly visit each patient, providing the opportunity for patients to discuss their feelings and concerns.

Psychological counseling services are also available for additional support. Social workers keep in close contact with family members to alleviate concerns and to make sure that they are well informed.

Social workers are actively involved in discharge planning, ensuring that patients’ transitions back to their homes are as smooth as possible.
