Our read on Forest Hill Manor

Forest Hill Manor runs about 3.99 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below what it provides on weekdays. The nonprofit home has 45 certified beds and a recent inspection on record as of March 2026, with 28 deficiencies logged, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $13,627 has been assessed. Its inspection rating sits at 4 out of 5 stars, though the quality measure score is 2 out of 5 and staffing lands at 3. The mix matters here: a clean-ish inspection history alongside weaker clinical quality numbers and thinner weekend staffing is what pulls the overall picture down.
