Residents of Jackson Parish and the surrounding area are very fortunate to have such a tremendous facility as Forest Haven Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center, located in Jonesboro. The administration and staff not only give excellent professional health care but also take extra steps to provide residents with a plethora of activities, making their stay as enjoyable as possible.

On Thursday, February 19th, residents got a special treat by having a front row seat to the Cub Scout Pack 523 annual Pinewood Derby. Residents got to mingle with the local scouts and handle the “race cars” before becoming the cheering section for the four participants who took part in one of the oldest youth traditions in America.
