Forest City Personal Care
Forest City Personal Care is a nursing home in Forest City, Pennsylvania, offering independent living options, personal care, long-term support, and short-term rehabilitation. The community accommodates various payment methods, including Medicare, which accounts for 84% of incoming individuals, who typically stay an average of 19 days for rehabilitation, followed by Medicaid at 9%, and private financing at 7%. Managed by Drew Sparks, this 36-bed community also features organized recreational programming and a professional dining service.
Over the past seven years, state evaluations point to noticeable difficulties in recent periods, with the most recent inspection revealing compliance gaps concerning outdated annual health evaluations and missing resident assessments. On a positive note, no formal complaints have been substantiated. Moreover, a monetary fine was issued, with ongoing compliance themes involving pharmaceutical handling, food preparation safety, fire drill tracking, and employee education.
While Forest City Personal Care could adequately serve short-term Medicare rehabilitation patients, its lower staffing ratios and clinical scores warrant thorough evaluation before arranging long-term placement.
