Forest View Center for Rehabilitation & Nursing has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: highly effective speech and physical therapy programs and clean and well-maintained facility environment. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Forest View Center for Rehabilitation & Nursing receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the facility's rehabilitation therapy team—specifically speech pathology—for significant patient progress. However, a recurring pattern of serious complaints regarding neglect, understaffing, and poor communication during off-hours suggests inconsistent care quality that families should carefully investigate.

Key Review Excerpts
“Laura Accardi SLP took her time treating and addressing my grandmother concerns. My grandmother was able to progress from puree to regular diet after stroke and return home well.”
“The only caring folk here are the nurses and they’re overworked/understaffed.”
“The night staff is the worst, telling the patients to soil themselves and do not clean them up until almost morning.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Forest View Center has a concerning pattern of recurring fire safety violations and serious care deficiencies, including one family complaint about abuse reporting. The facility repeatedly fails fire safety inspections, care planning assessments, and sprinkler system maintenance across all three surveys from 2019-2024. While the facility reports correcting each violation, the persistent recurrence of identical fire safety and resident assessment problems suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
