FOREST HILLS CARE CENTER

Forest Hills Care Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is a composite that pulls together three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for its residents. Looking at the individual pieces, the 3-star health inspection rating tells you that state inspectors found a typical number of issues during their visits, nothing dramatically better or worse than most facilities. The 3-star staffing rating means nurses and aides are spending an average amount of time with each resident, which is worth keeping an eye on since staffing levels directly affect how quickly a resident gets help with daily needs. Where Forest Hills really stands out is in quality measures, earning a perfect 5 stars. That rating is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents pressure sores, or supports residents' mobility. A top score there suggests that residents are actually doing well health-wise, which is often the most meaningful indicator for families. The combination of those three scores, two average and one exceptional, adds up to a solid above-average overall rating.
