  My mother was a long-term resident of three years before she passed recently. The care she received was excellent on all fronts--medical, PT &OT, dietary support, daily care. The nursing staff is superb--skilled, compassionate & explained everything going on as she declined in a manner that a layman can understand. The social work staff is superb; both for issues the patient has and for helping families with Medicare, Medicaid etc. The care center is immaculately kept. The food is good! I cannot say enough positive things about the FHCC. In my mother's last few days they kept her comfortable and were extremely supportive to us, her family, as well. Her passing there at nearly 99 years old was gentle and peaceful.

  The facility needs a facelift, but it is clean and well run. Definitely understaffed and the many aides are unhappy and unmotivated. Management is very capable and takes care of things. Doctors and Nurse are excellent and caught issues and resolved them quickly. Food is hit or miss. Social workers are excellent and very helpful. This is not a hotel, it is a care facility and they do take care of the residents.

  Dear Forest Hills Care Center Team, Thank you for the genuine care & support you provided to my father Viorel P & to myself during his stay in Nov/Dec. The entire team is lovely! Starting with Jake who was spectacular with the onboarding process. Connie & Judy in the office are professional, kind, caring & more than helpful. Judy went above & beyond to guide me step by step through changing insurance companies to best meet my father’s needs- her knowledge and unbiased opinions, were exactly what I need to help navigate me through that confusing process… thank you Judy!!! The two lovely social workers were available at all times for any questions and concerns I was having. Special shout out from my father to the entire PT staff - he loved his training sessions which were essential for helping him regain his strength . Thanks to the entire team on the 3rd floor! Especially the evening nurses who I saw every night, they have so much to deal with and manage to do it showing grace & dignity to the patients. Many of the aides like Marre have been there for 30+ years and genuinely care about the patients! The experience of having your loved one enter into Rehab is always difficult- however having people around you who care & want to help makes all the difference in the world! 🙏 Gaby C
