Overall Review of Forest View Rehab & Nursing Center

common 25 reviews mention this

Caring staff is a recurring theme

Many reviewers describe the staff as attentive and compassionate.

Across the reviews, families and residents repeatedly say nurses, CNAs, and other staff take time to help, communicate, and treat people with dignity. Several reviewers highlight friendly day-to-day support, including keeping residents comfortable and responding when care needs come up. A smaller set of reviews goes the other way, describing rude or unprofessional behavior, delayed help with calls, or staffing limitations that led to problems. Overall, the feedback pattern is mixed but strongly centers on staff responsiveness and caring attitudes.

caveat 11 reviews mention this

Food quality is inconsistent

Food quality and temperature come up as a common point of frustration.

Some reviewers say meals are decent or average, and a few mention better-than-expected food during rehab or longer stays. Others describe food as cold, tasteless, or worse over time, including complaints about portion sizes. A few reviews also mention dietary needs and frustrations with how meals were handled for individuals. With dining showing up on both the positive and negative sides, it looks like expectations vary and service can be inconsistent.

  • A cozy dining area with several tables and chairs, featuring wooden flooring and natural lighting from the windows.
caveat 9 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is praised, but also criticized

Cleanliness is mentioned both as a strength and a recurring concern.

Several reviewers praise the facility as clean and say it does not have strong odors. But there are also multiple reports describing dirty conditions, pest issues, and unpleasant smells, along with concerns about upkeep. Some comments include room-level issues (like cleanliness and small space) that affect how people experience their stay. Taken together, cleanliness comes through as an area where residents’ experiences are uneven.

common 6 reviews mention this

Activities keep residents engaged

Activities are a notable part of daily experience for many residents.

Many reviewers mention the activity team keeping people engaged with programs like bingo, exercises, trivia, movies, and planned outings. A few also describe resident-focused events that help with social connection, especially during rehab stays. On the other hand, some reviews call activities limited, not consistently followed, or too minimal for the time residents spend there. Overall, the reviews suggest activity programming can be a bright spot, but consistency varies.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Staffing and supervision vary by shift

Supervision and staffing coverage are questioned in several reviews.

Some reviewers describe care as delivered promptly and around-the-clock, including when medical issues came up. Others raise concerns about understaffing, unanswered call lights, and limited supervision during evenings, nights, or weekends. There are also complaints about delayed assistance with personal care needs and medication timing. Because both good and difficult experiences are reported, shift-to-shift support appears to be a key factor in how people rate their stay.
