My father was here for short-term rehab and I truly regret sending him here! He had a fall which lead him back to the hospital, no one called to tell my sister or myself. He sat in the ED for hours just to get discharged back. He was in a room with a roommate who sat in a soaked pair of pants during my visit. I did go out to find someone to get him help but was unsuccessful. Wouldn’t recommend.

High Praise for Nana Soto at Foulk Living! My elderly Father needed to find an Assisted Living Facility very quickly when being discharged from a Rehab stay. Nana Soto along with Michelle Davis from Oasis Senior Living made this transition possible within a very short timeframe. Under Nana’s guidance and direction my Father is in a comfortable room, a safe environment, with meals, activities and social encouragement. Nana possesses an ability to know each of her residents and makes it her mission to help each of them feel welcomed and valued. Thank you so much Nana! Tom Miriello

The staff is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely cares about the residents and their families. You can feel the heart behind everything they do from the quality of care to the daily interactions. Knowing your loved one is safe, supported, and surrounded by people who treat them like family is the greatest peace of mind.

Our Mom has been at Foulk Living for 8 months now and we couldn’t be happier for both our mom and our choice of facilities! We were truly blessed to have found such a loving, kind and caring place for our loved one. Between myself and my 3 sisters, we visit frequently on a weekly basis and always find happy, caring and empathetic employees. The chef as well as the supporting staff create and prepare great tasting meals. The events staff are fun loving and keep the residents engaged in fun activities! Again, we have been truly blessed to have found such a wonderful facility to entrust the care and well being of our mom to!!

Our family member has been at this wonderful place for a few weeks for rehabilitation. The first thing I noticed when I stepped out of the elevator was how clean, calm, and peaceful it is. Carol does an excellent job making everything spotless! Our family member has received excellent, kind, compassionate care from everyone there (as we too have been so supported). Bridget is so cheerful, Stephanie is so calm and dedicated, Rich is so caring, all knowledgeable and professional, so nice. Leticia is a wonderful nurse as they all are. We don't worry about our family member's safety and care because we know she is well taken care of here.
