Forest Park Nursing and Rehabilitation

Forest Park Nursing and Rehabilitation provides skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services, short-term stays, long-term care, and memory care at 700 Walnut Bottom Rd, Carlisle, PA, and most folks around here know they've got certified nursing assistants who are very nice and caring, even though the building's got slab construction and cold floors that some residents notice. The place handles about 102 residents most days with 114 certified beds, and the staff includes some students from HACC, a Business Office Manager for skilled nursing, and a clinical team that helps residents every step of the way, offering care for people after procedures like colostomy and help with physical therapy, and staff members mainly speak English with others able to speak different languages too. The center sees itself as offering warmth, dignity, and respect, saying it aims to meet each resident's unique needs with health services, but it's important to mention that Forest Park's state inspection report from March 6, 2025, lists a high nurse turnover rate at 69.4% and reports 93 total deficiencies, including seven related to infection, plus federal citations for not always providing enough food and fluids, missing care according to orders, and failing to fully respect residents' rights. The center calls itself a retirement community and senior living facility, offering five-star accommodations with amenities for residents who need extra support, and management is run by Pa 3 Opco LLC with indirect ownership connected to several other names. Forest Park isn't open to new residents right now, though its staff can answer questions or talk about future tours. The team runs a recognition event that features Subway sandwiches for workers, and certified nursing assistants are on hand to provide round-the-clock care, though there's no information about how staff are managed or who directly makes the big decisions. The health center focuses on-personalized care, and while they claim to be committed to clinical excellence and providing a friendly, supportive atmosphere, anyone considering staying here should review the inspection reports and know about the deficiencies noted for food, fluids, infection control, and dignity so they can make an informed choice.
