Forest Ridge Health & Rehab is a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility with 98 beds, though as of June 2025, 25 are available, and it's not accepting new patients right now. You'll find long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehab, and assisted living here, and while it sits inside a Continuing Care Retirement Community, Forest Ridge Health & Rehab itself isn't a CCRC. Residents get a care plan that fits their needs, whether they need skilled nursing for serious medical issues, help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing, or both. The nursing home offers respite, palliative, hospice, and rehab care, including infusion and wound therapy and both short- and long-term stays if someone needs round-the-clock care. The facility gets a 1-star Nursing Home rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and has an average score of 5.6 out of 10, ranking 11th out of 13 in Bremerton. Owned by Extendicare, which has been around since 1968, this place covers a lot of ground with care and services, and some staff can speak languages besides English.
There are studio and semi-private room options, and inside rooms you'll get things like a private bathroom, cable TV, kitchenette, air conditioning, phone, and Wi-Fi-all the usual comforts-plus you can choose furnished rooms. They've got a dining room with all-day restaurant-style meals, special diets for people with allergies or diabetes, and all meals are planned and cooked by a chef. Forest Ridge Health & Rehab also has a lot of indoor and outdoor common areas, like gardens, walking paths, outdoor programs, a spa/wellness room, movie theater, music program, activity room, arts room, and a library. You'll see daily activities, resident-run activities, movie nights, bingo, and holiday events, so people have ways to stay active and social. The staff helps with medication, transfers, laundry, housekeeping, scheduled transportation, and parking. Nursing care runs 12 to 16 hours a day with 24-hour supervision, and emergencies go through an alert system. The rehabilitation program offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Staff provide non-ambulatory care, and support families, too. Some of the clinic staff can speak other languages, helping people feel understood. The facility mainly serves seniors with physical or mental health conditions that call for skilled nursing and close supervision, and the place isn't perfect, but it does offer most things people need for comfort and safety in a senior living or rehab setting.
