My aunt has been a resident at Forrest Oakes Nursing Home for nearly four months, and I can’t say enough about the wonderful care she’s received. The staff has gone above and beyond to make her transition from home to skilled care as smooth and stress-free as possible. These situations are never easy, but their kindness, compassion, and dedication have made all the difference. The facility itself is always spotless, with no unpleasant odors, which speaks volumes about the pride they take in maintaining a welcoming …

The nurse Donna is very rude to family seems to not care about the patients care. Donna complains about having to make multiple visits to patients room even though patient is not responsive and monitors are alarming. The level of care and courtesy that is normally provide to the family is non-existent.

I recently had a family member at Forrest Oakes for rehab and general nursing care. The room was was neat and clean.

The social worker and director of nursing 'I think' are new but both were great, knowledgeable about what was going on, and made us feel very welcome. The therapy department did an awesome job. I am seeing several bad reviews but there seems t…

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. My mom was placed in FO for rehab. She got no rehab, and was left alone in her bed. I drove from out of state to see her and was appalled when I found her in the fetal position alone in a room where there was blood on the wall next to her bed and on the floor. There were face masks on the floor beside her bed, along with other medical trash, and the area around the toilet was disgusting. No cleaning was being done, much less increased cleaning because of COVID. Sh…

My mother had to participate in therapy service at Forrest Oakes Healthcare during her stay her Rehab service was top-notch and very professional. The /nurses/nursing assistant was awesome with my mother they treated her has if she was their parent which made it easy for me to rest at night. The facility was a little dated but the care was Awesome and the facility was very clean, If I have to ever think about placing her long-term care or short-term she will definitely be back at Forrest Oakes. Thanks Forrest Oakes…
