Forest View Center

Forest View Center for Rehab & Nursing sits in Forest Hills, New York, and was built in 1968, so the building's got a history but they do keep up with things, and people notice how clean, bright, and roomy the inside feels, plus you've got well-maintained living spaces and a staff that works together across all departments, from doctors and nurses to therapists, nutritionists, a responsive social work team, and a hands-on care planning group that doesn't miss much. The place holds up to 160 residents between nursing and assisted living, and the focus is really on healthcare, nursing, and rehab with dedicated short-term rehabilitation units and long-term care for folks who need a steady place. They treat people who need sub-acute care, respiratory help, and different kinds of rehabilitation, including a post-surgical orthopedic program and cardiac recovery, and there's a palliative care program to help people with advanced illness and support their families, which is important for many. Forest View Center does all its meals kosher, certified by Kosher Care International, so that's settled for those who need it, and the dining rooms-three of them-are roomy, so folks don't get cramped during meals, and outside of eating there's a spacious landscaped rooftop patio where people can look out over the New York skyline and get fresh air. Rehabilitation happens in two modern gyms, including a physical therapy workout room with good equipment, and therapists here are well-spoken of for treating people kindly during their sessions. The facility also sets up a cultural Russian program where Russian-speaking residents can feel at home with familiar language and traditions, which can make a big difference for some, and it's a place you do see as safe and social with people always around. There's a virtual video tour available for those who want to see the place before coming in, and the admissions department helps out every step of the way, which can make what's usually a hard time go a little smoother. Forest View Center's a member of the CFW Group and has about 51 to 200 employees, so folks aren't strangers to each other, and after 30 years serving the community, people see it as a trusted provider.
