What this means for your family
Pine Village is highly regarded for its beautiful campus and active community life, making it a pleasant environment for visitors. However, because there are serious, specific allegations regarding medication management and patient comfort, we strongly advise you to conduct a thorough, unannounced tour and ask for their specific protocols on medication administration and bed maintenance.

Key Review Excerpts
“My grandma was here after her stroke and I was so impressed. The staff was so caring and did everything perfect!”
“During the year my mother lived at Pine Village, she received loving, attentive care from all caregivers.”
“This place did not help my loved one at all! They fluffed his medication and was giving way too much! One night his air mattress was completely deflated-they told him he had to get out of bed in order for them to fix it.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Pine Village shows recurring patterns of fire safety and building deficiencies across all three surveys, with identical violations in sprinkler systems, cooking facilities, and electrical wiring persisting despite reported corrections. Four complaint-triggered deficiencies indicate families have filed reports regarding staff supervision, medication management, resident safety, and care planning. While all violations show correction dates, the repeated fire safety issues across multiple years suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits.
