Forest Side is nestled in the Chevy Chase neighborhood in Washington, D.C. With a welcoming forest like setting, this 33 apartment assisted living community's mission is to provide person centered care addressing the six components of Wellness to those who are suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia.
There are four neighborhoods within the building. The focus of the
caregiver for each neighborhood is to be engaged with the Alzheimer's and dementia residents in
all aspects of their day: dining, activities, afternoon tea,
neighborhood strolls, fostering a level of friendship and
understanding. Each neighborhood is equipped with a full kitchen,
dining room and comfortable living room with a fireplace. Outdoor
enclosed porches, as well a secured courtyard add to the home like
setting. Our day spa is available for pampering from head to toe.
Each resident's interests are respected and taken into consideration
regardless of their cognitive ability. Trained staff understand the
challenges of memory loss and have great sensitivity and compassion for
their residents and families. The most important part of each day is
to encourage and understand each resident, assisting them to make every
opportunity successful as possible.
Cultural, educational, physical, environmental, social and emotional
nourishment are what we base our lifestyle upon at Forest
Side. “Everything we do is with the purpose of supporting and
celebrating the life of each and every resident.”
With 33 private apartments, Forest Side assisted living, is a highly specialized care program for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
