About Forestview

+
Forestview, located at 2301 Edinboro Road in Erie, Pennsylvania, is a skilled nursing facility operated by Asbury Communities — one of the Mid-Atlantic and Mid-West region's most experienced and respected nonprofit senior living organizations. With decades of experience delivering quality care across multiple states, Asbury Communities brings deep institutional knowledge, rigorous clinical standards, and a genuine commitment to resident dignity to everything Forestview does. Situated in Erie's southern corridor along Edinboro Road, Forestview benefits from a location that balances accessibility and calm. The Edinboro Road corridor connects Erie's residential neighborhoods to the wider region, including the university community of Edinboro to the south (home to PennWest Edinboro, formerly Edinboro University of Pennsylvania). This positioning places Forestview within easy reach of Erie's full range of amenities while maintaining a quieter, more residential atmosphere. Skilled nursing services at Forestview are designed to meet the full spectrum of medically complex resident needs. Whether a resident is recovering from a joint replacement, managing a chronic condition such as heart failure or diabetes, or requiring memory-supportive care, the clinical team delivers individualized, evidence-informed treatment plans. Asbury Communities' organizational infrastructure provides Forestview with access to best practices, technology, and clinical support resources that enhance care quality across the board. For medical emergencies and specialty care, UPMC Hamot in downtown Erie — Erie's leading academic medical center — is readily accessible. Allegheny Health Network Saint Vincent Hospital provides additional hospital-level resources within the city. Erie's healthcare infrastructure is robust for a mid-sized city, giving families confidence that advanced medical support is never far away. Families visiting Forestview will appreciate Erie's many offerings. Presque Isle State Park, one of Pennsylvania's most iconic natural destinations, provides Lake Erie beachfront and trails that are a short drive north. Millcreek Mall offers convenient shopping, and Erie's growing restaurant scene along Peach Street and the downtown waterfront provides diverse dining options. The Erie Zoo and the vibrant arts and cultural scene downtown round out a city that has much to offer seniors and their families. Forestview combines the strength of Asbury Communities' organizational excellence with the warmth of Erie's lakeside community.
