Operated by Altercare — a respected Ohio-based senior care organization — Altercare Newark South delivers clinical expertise and individualized attention in a facility that values both the healing process and the dignity of each resident. The south side of Newark has a close-knit, established neighborhood character, and Forry Street sits within easy reach of the city's core amenities and medical resources.

For history and culture, downtown Newark hosts The Works: Ohio Center for History, Art & Technology, a hands-on museum that connects generations through exhibits on science, art, and Ohio heritage. The Newark Earthworks and Moundbuilders State Memorial, a UNESCO World Heritage-nominated site, are among the most significant ancient earthworks in the world and speak to the deep cultural history of this region. Shopping and dining options are plentiful along the Cherry Valley Road retail corridor and downtown Newark's square, ensuring families can find everything they need close to home. Granville, a charming college town home to Denison University, is just a short drive west and offers upscale dining, boutique shops, and a beautiful tree-lined main street.
