Overall Review of Metron of Forest Hills

common 8 reviews mention this

Cleanliness stands out both ways

Residents mention the facility cleanliness in both positive and negative experiences.

Several reviews say the community is very clean and well kept, and they specifically call out clean rooms and a clean facility. A few critical reviews describe serious cleanliness and sanitation problems, including urine, an unpleasant odor, and visible debris in the room. That contrast shows cleanliness is a meaningful part of how residents and families rate their experience.

common 14 reviews mention this

Care teams are described as responsive

Staff communication and attentiveness are a central point in residents’ feedback.

Positive reviews repeatedly describe staff as caring, compassionate, attentive, and responsive to individual needs. Residents and families also mention nursing involvement and that staff help residents with day-to-day needs while keeping things organized. On the other hand, some critical reviews describe unprofessional behavior and lack of duty of care, including delayed access when arriving and concerns about not responding to issues seen by others.

A critical review that mentions physical therapy also raises concerns about the condition of the room and the arrival experience, indicating rehab support can vary by stay.
