Through this business, he observed the conditions of elderly patients in hospitals, and concluded that there was a need for better long term care.[6] In 1970, Preston founded Life Care Centers of America in Cleveland, and is the sole owner, chairman and CEO.[7] It later grew to be the largest privately owned long term care facility chain and the third largest privately owned long-term care facility in the United States.[2] As of September 2015, he had a net worth of US$2.1 billion.[8] Personal lifePreston was married to Kathleen Marchant (1936-2017) until her death.[9] He lives in Cleveland.[8] His residence is located in the Anatole subdivision off of U.S. 11 near the residence of fellow businessman Allan Jones.[2][1] He is of the Baptist faith, and attends First Baptist Church in Cleveland.[9] References1. ^1 {{Citation|last=|first=|year=1995|title=220 Anatole Lane NW, Cleveland, Tennessee 37312|publisher=Bradley County Register of Deeds|publication-place=Cleveland, Tennessee|page=3|url=|accessdate=December 7, 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Preston, Forrest}}2. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Green|first1=Alex|title=How Forrest Preston built Life Care Centers into the biggest privately held company in the industry|url=http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/business/aroundregion/story/2015/apr/27/how-forrest-preston-built-life-care-centers-biggest-privately-held-company-industry/301066/|accessdate=13 September 2015|work=timesfreepress|date=27 April 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://citiesofpromise.com/cities/cleveland-tennessee/|title=Cleveland, Tennessee|author=|date=21 September 2015|website=citiesofpromise.com|accessdate=5 November 2017}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Preston, Winton Russell|url=http://www.chattanoogan.com/2010/1/10/166446/Preston-Winton-Russell.aspx|website=chattanoogan|accessdate=13 September 2015}} 5. ^http://docs.adventistarchives.org/docs/ALUG/ALUG19951201-V94-12__C.pdf 6. ^1 2 {{cite news|author=|title=Preston Named Honorary Alumnus of the Year|url=http://portico.leeuniversity.edu/Lists/Campus%20News/CustomDispForm.aspx?ID=1758&RootFolder=%2FLists%2FCampus%20News&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fportico%2Eleeuniversity%2Eedu%2FPages%2Fdefault%2Easpx=|work=Lee University|location=|date=November 12, 2017|access-date=November 20, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Executive Profile Forrest L.
