Key Review Excerpts

The care she is receiving is INCREDIBLE! THESE PEOPLE REALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS! Mom says it's the best care she has ever received.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

The staff of the second floor offered care, compassion, encouragement and healing energy as my wife recovered from an automobile accident. The staff at Pine Heights is, to a person, dedicated to health and recovery.

Rehab patient's husband · 2024★★★★★

The staff brought her the wrong paperwork, meant for other residents, MULTIPLE times. Care plans and medical records. They asked her to sign things that weren’t for her at all.

Pine Heights has recurring issues with food safety and building safety systems, with repeated deficiencies in nutrition/dietary services and smoke safety systems across multiple surveys. One family filed a complaint about accident hazards in 2024. While most deficiencies appear corrected, the pattern of repeat violations in food handling and fire safety infrastructure suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
