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.
Staff turnover reported at 16%
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 15 findings, above the NY average of 7.6. 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 Forest Care Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the admissions and nursing staff for their compassion, while others report severe neglect and unsanitary conditions. Critical concerns frequently cited include poor communication from administration, slow response times for patient needs, and persistent hygiene issues. Families considering this facility should be aware of the starkly contrasting experiences reported by different visitors.

Key Review Excerpts
“Marissa, the first person you will meet, in admissions, truly understands the inner turmoil you are experiencing, is a calming and reassuring voice of reason.”
“Since my Mom has been there the place has under went some serious changes new paint, new floors, new beds and a therapy bird.”
“It smelled like urine and feces everywhere, and that might be the high point of this review. It was impoosible to get her necessary medications.”
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.

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. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
