Goodwin Living
Two mission-driven organizations. One shared purpose.
In 2025, Forest Hills of DC affiliated with Goodwin Living, a faith-based, not-for-profit senior living and healthcare services organization guided by a clear mission: to support, honor and uplift the lives of older adults and those who care for them.
The affiliation brought together two mission-driven organizations with shared values and a deep commitment to the people they serve. Forest Hills of DC carries forward a legacy of care that began in 1889, now strengthened by expanded resources, enhanced programming and renewed investment in the people who live and work here.
A legacy of care, comfort and service
Forest Hills of DC first opened its doors in 1889 as The Methodist Home, created to provide older adults with care, comfort and a supportive place to live. Over the years, it has served individuals of all faiths, backgrounds and life experiences.
Today, the campus offers assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing care and short-term rehabilitation in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Residents receive personalized support in a warm, inviting community, with a passionate team that puts their whole hearts in providing exceptional care and comfort every day. Forest Hills of DC is grateful to be the recipient of the 2023 American Health Care Association National Quality Award – Silver and the 2024 Pinnacle Customer Experience Award.
Goodwin Living Foundation
A spirit of generosity
The Goodwin Living Foundation helps care go a little further. At Forest Hills of DC, that means support for residents, new opportunities for team members and programs that change lives.
From citizenship programs to education grants to financial assistance, the foundation has helped strengthen the sense of belonging in the community, while helping drive our shared mission forward. Many residents, along with their family and friends of the organization, choose to support the foundation themselves, knowing their generosity helps extend the care, compassion and services that make Forest Hills of DC special.

Leadership
Shaping the campus through purpose and heart

“When I arrive at Goodwin Living, I think about how to uplift those who touch us: residents, members, employees and guests. I listen. I watch. I try to say hello to everyone and engage in the present.”
Robert “Rob” Liebreich was appointed President and CEO of Goodwin Living in May 2019. His energy, compassion and creative drive, as well as his proven leadership in senior living, set him apart during a competitive six-month national search for the new Goodwin Living CEO.
Prior to joining Goodwin Living, Rob was the executive director of the Asbury Methodist Village (AMV), a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community in Gaithersburg, MD. He has also held senior positions in marketing and operations for senior living organizations in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area and the Pacific Northwest.
