Key Review Excerpts
“Anytime I need something the managers, nurses and aides are always very quick to take care of it. The building is clean and it does not have the typical “nursing home smell””
“This place is a nightmare , my family member was here for rehab,within a few days she had an unattended fall which sent he to the hospital,the nurse told me my family member was a 2 person assist which was not right”
“She has not been out of bed for a week. Back at Pine Ridge three days now and has the same hospital gown on. She’s not getting skilled nursing care. I was there 2 hrs and no one came to check on her.”
