Altercare Newark South Inc.

Altercare Newark South Inc., located at 17 Forry Street in Newark, Ohio, provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation services on the south side of one of central Ohio's most historic and community-rich cities. 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. Licking Memorial Hospital, Newark's primary acute care hospital, is accessible within minutes, making care transitions smooth for residents arriving from or returning to the hospital. This proximity is particularly important for post-surgical patients and those managing complex medical conditions requiring ongoing monitoring. Newark itself is a city with remarkable depth. Just south of the city, the Dawes Arboretum — a breathtaking 1,800-acre preserve featuring Japanese gardens, native plant collections, and scenic walking paths — offers families a peaceful and beautiful destination during visits. 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. Altercare Newark South's therapy and nursing teams bring a results-driven approach to recovery, with a focus on helping residents return home with confidence, or settle comfortably into long-term care with dignity and personalized support.
