What this means for your family
While the facility is physically beautiful and offers excellent hospitality, families should be cautious regarding clinical oversight. We strongly recommend asking the administration for their current staff-to-resident ratios and specific protocols for managing chronic health conditions, as previous reports of weight loss and medical neglect are significant red flags.

23 reviews on Google“Forest Ridge Health and Rehab receives polarized feedback, with recent reviews focusing heavily on hospitality and facility cleanliness while older, more detailed reviews raise serious concerns about clinical care. Families report significant issues regarding high staff turnover, weight loss in residents, and perceived failures in medical oversight under certain administrative leadership. While the facility is praised for its physical environment and welcoming atmosphere, the inconsistency in nursing care and administrative management is a recurring point of contention.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility was a great place for our severly disabled mother at first but that changed after a the new administrator came on board. Let me be very clear that there was zero quality assurance executed by this facility's head nurse.”
“I recently returned home from an 8 day stay after a total knee replacement. I can't say enough good about the care I received. The facility is clean and inviting. The staff is Fantastic.”
“At first when my mom was placed here I believe it was in 2021, the staff was great and my mom was treated the way she should have....with respect. Now, all the nice people are gone, my mom isnt getting the right treatment for her health problems and shes lost a lot of weight.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has recurring issues with safety systems and patient protection that span multiple years. The most concerning pattern involves repeated deficiencies in fire safety systems, heating and ventilation, and accident prevention across all four surveys from 2019-2024. Families have filed complaints that resulted in findings related to abuse prevention and accident hazards. While all issues show correction dates, the persistence of similar safety and care problems across five years suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully evaluate during visits.
