About Forest Care Home

Forest Care Home is a nursing home in Mansfield, supporting older people and adults whose health needs require qualified nurses on hand at any hour. That cover means changes in somebody's condition are picked up early and managed here wherever possible rather than through repeated hospital admissions. We care for people living with dementia, where a steady routine and familiar faces matter more than anything else we could provide, and for people managing mental health conditions, where patience and continuity count for a great deal. We also support people living with a physical disability, where dignity and practical independence matter as much as clinical care, and younger adults, whose day we plan around their own interests rather than around everybody else's. Respite care is available as well, for people recovering after illness and for family carers who need a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We treat that as a foundation rather than a finish. The better test is whether people here look comfortable and whether families feel able to walk in and ask us anything at all. You would be very welcome to come and do so.
