These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 28% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 11 findings, above the NC average of 5.6. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Pine Acres Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation receives highly polarized reviews, with many recent positive reports praising the facility's cleanliness, friendly staff, and effective therapy department. However, long-standing and recurring concerns persist regarding significant understaffing, slow response times to call lights, poor communication from administration, and inconsistent dietary care. Families should be aware that while many report a 'turnaround' in quality, others describe serious neglect and hygiene issues.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy team was outstanding. The physical, occupational, and speech therapists tailored every session to my needs and constantly encouraged me to push just a little further each day.”
“The staff is very caring and helpful taking care of my parent. They are short staffed which causes a delay at times when needing assistance going to the restroom, but very quick in an emergency situation.”
“My father needed inpatient treatment for 2 weeks. He begged to be checked out after 8 days. He called me on day 6 telling me to say goodbye because they were letting him die. In four days, his nurse was not able to unclog his feeding tube twice and basically left him starving.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
