Homestead Post Acute has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: effective physical and occupational therapy and clean and well-maintained facility. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Homestead Post Acute (formerly Pine Meadows) receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the dedicated therapy team and compassionate care, while others report severe neglect and communication failures. Recurring complaints involve slow response times to call bells, lost personal belongings, and difficulty reaching staff by phone.

Key Review Excerpts
“My call button calls were responded to promptly, the workers were so uplifting that it would have been hard to get depressed, the physical and occupational therapists were so helpful and interested in helping me improve my mobility.”
“I had to call Adult Protective Services on this facility for neglect of my mom who has been there for 3 weeks. Among many other things, she fell twice and no one bothered to help her up for over 20 minutes.”
“My mother-in-law spent the last three months of her life at Homestead. She was kept clean, loved, and given excellent care. The facility is very clean, with no smell,”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
