                     IN HONOR OF FOREST HILL MANOR

                             HON. SAM FARR

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 17, 2004

  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Forest Hill Manor 
on its fiftieth anniversary of serving our community's seniors. This 
historic building was once the illustrious Forest Hill Hotel, and is 
still known today for the fine service it offers its guests.
  In 1954 the hotel was acquired by the California-Nevada Methodist 
Homes for the purpose of providing a retirement residence in 
picturesque Pacific Grove. Throughout the years the Manor has continued 
to undergo improvements, designed to maintain the high quality of life 
residents have come to expect from this institution.
  Currently the Manor is beginning work on the latest expansion 
project, responding to the growing needs of the community. There will 
be an additional thirty-two independent living apartments, and six more 
assisted living apartments. The Manor is also adding a skilled nursing 
facility on the property, with twenty-six beds, so residents will not 
have to receive care offsite. These new developments will expand the 
Manor's ability to work for the elderly community in the Monterey Bay.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate the Forest Hill Manor on the 
outstanding service it has provided our community for the last fifty 
years. The Manor is a model retirement home, offering a pleasant living 
experience for 693 residents since 1954. I extend my congratulations to 
Forest Hill Manor and wish it many more successful years.
