Florence Hardware Store

Awesome Store!! Joyce is very patient with all the customers!! Assisted me with the right paint for my project, the correct items to complete the job, and went above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied!! I Highly recommend that everyone stops by and check out her store, There's definitely something for Everyone , Not just hardware either!! Can't say enough about this lady and her store ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My mother has been in Forwood Manor for more than 5 years and she has received excellent care throughout her time there, both in independent living and, now, assisted living. The caregivers treat her with love and kindness and they treat me like a prince when I come to visit. Mom loves the food! And I never feel guilty about not having her at home because she’s every bit as happy - and much more professionally cared for - than she would be at home.

Great little store! Have a little bit of everything. Kind of half hardware store, half thrift/antique shop. Tango the cat is the best kitty, he likes attention!

My mother has been at Forwood Manor for several years, first in Independent Living and more recently in Assisted Living. Her experience in both areas has been exceptional. She loves the food and the activities are wonderful. But most important is the care she gets from the nurses in Assisted Living. They truly care about her comfort and well-being, and my mother appreciates that enormously. And so do I.

My mother has been at Forwood Manor for 3 years as an independent liver (IL). She has a very nice light filled 1br apartment. Plenty of space and 2 nice big closets.
All of her needs are being met. Plenty of options for activities. The staff is kind and attentive.

The owner was so helpful. She took time to explain my options to me and guide me. Great customer service

The owner Joyce was very nice and helpful. Great stuff in the store and local owner. Help support local businesses. Please follow me for more reviews.

Although my 96 year old mother recently passed, our whole family has nothing to say but the highest praise for the staff of Forwood Manor. She spent 4 years there, first in independent living and finally in assisted living. The entire staff, from the director, to the whole back office staff, to all the receptionists and security officers, to the physical therapy center, the hair salon, and to all the housekeepers and maintenance staff, the behind the scenes cooks, and the darling high school kids who work in the dining room (when there’s not a pandemic), we did not experience one person working there who wasn’t lovely. The residents themselves are also lovely and mother had many friends. Before the pandemic, the place was beautifully maintained and activities were wonderful. They have handled the pandemic with grace and good common sense, to the best of their ability keeping people as safe as possible in a dreadful situation. Although we’re in a strange time in history, presumably when we have this disease under control, for those who are no longer able to live on their own, Forwood Manor is a perfect place.

A letter to future families of Forwood Manor,

My brother and I are writing this so that anyone considering Forwood Manor Senior Living knows that they and/or their loves ones will not be disappointed. With that being said, we wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Executive Director, management and all the staff, along with the residents, as they made our parents feel at home since the day we walked in the door almost six years ago.

Over the years, both of our parents transitioned multiple times from short-term rehab, to Independent Living, and then Assisted Living, all while never having to leave the community. With each move, they were properly cared for, treated with dignity and given the utmost respect - right up until their recent passing.

From the beginning, we have been delighted with their experience, as Forwood has always considered our parents (and us as their children) part of the “Forwood Family.” We had, and continue to have, the ultimate confidence in how they have been handling the COVID-19 situation. We were always satisfied with their genuine compassion to do right by the residents, but to have full trust in this team was always the most comforting.

Now, we hope you take comfort in the wonderful experience we had and know that that would be extended to your family as well.
Sincerely,
Mark and Ernie Purnell

Great local hardware store. They even have a nice friendly cat which is always a pleasure. Highly recommend if you need any tools or hardware. I picked up some tools for my bike and was in and out quickly.
