Forrest Oakes Healthcare Center - VA East

Forrest Oakes Healthcare Center - VA East sits at 620 Heathwood Drive in Albemarle, North Carolina, sharing the place with Forrest Oakes Nursing Center, and folks say it focuses on skilled nursing care with 60 beds, offering healthcare services for veterans, assisted living, and Alzheimer's care, though it's hard to ignore that the place has made it onto the NHAA Watchlist because of unsafe staffing levels and serious medication errors, with records showing that some residents had to be hospitalized after staff didn't follow the rules for giving out medicine, and there have been state complaints and investigations for abuse and neglect, so while the center has the usual nursing, health care, and business operations as a corporation, managed by Administrator Patrick Lancaster and with North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association, it's found itself in the middle of bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in Georgia, filing plenty of official papers on its assets and liabilities-which by their reports, show up to $1 billion in assets and a much steeper range for debts, with lawyers from McDermott Will & Emery LLP handling all that, so if someone's considering the place, it's worth knowing the facility's faced problems with both staffing and medication management while still generating large revenues, being operated by LaVie Care Centers and jointly managed with other related spots, and the place does have programs for different medical needs, but those issues with resident harm and oversight seem like something that needs careful attention.
