I am the primary caregiver for Julie. Julie's care at Forest Hill was top notch! The PT and OT staff were amazing, especially Nico and Gi Gi! They were able to get Julie back on her feet. The nursing staff was tremendous. They were caring, kind, and professional. The activities Julie chose to participate in were great!! My interaction with the administrative staff was seamless! They are knowledgeable and helped with transitioning Julie back home extremely easy. I highly recommend Forest Hill Subacute. It is by far the best one Julie has been in!!!

WORST PLACE EVER! My dad was there only for 2 days and within those 2 days his oxygen which he was on was not working it took 3 oxygen tanks before they found one that barely worked.. as a result of that it made his weak heart struggle to breath and his lungs were filling up. With water . He was in bad shape leaving this place. Also we had to wait longer than an hour to come help with bathroom issues. Short staffed Tiffany the Social worker there was very unprofessional she hung up on me when I was telling her we weren’t happy with the care he was getting and we’re moving him to another facility. She ignored sending a referral over to the new facility he was going to . Was happy to find out we didn’t need a referral after all to get him out of that awful place . I give this place a -0 no stars. Don’t send your love one here. They don’t even answer the phones and you can’t get any information on how your loved ones are doing .

Today was my very first time visiting a old friend that recently had a stroke. I have never heard of forest. Hills center for rehabilitation. I was only there for a hour and a half.So I don't know much about the nurses the reception was wonderful, very professional. The place is very clean, no odors. Modern looking inside and out, I was impressed . The nursing assistant was very pleasant. she was very clean. Everyone was very clean, even the patient. So far, A plus👍🏼👍🏼
