Key Review Excerpts

Communication is non existent! We get a different answer to the same question from every caregiver. My Mother in law needed to be changed for over an hour and a half.

Memory care family member · 2022☆☆☆☆

The answer the patients call lights when they get ready. Their equipment is awful and not safe to use. They workers all walk around with sour looks on their faces.

Long-term resident's family · 2019☆☆☆☆

My mother has been there for almost 3 months. They have yet to get their act together. Very disappointed.

Clean record — no deficiencies

The Pine of Camden shows a pattern of building safety and maintenance issues, with deficiencies in fire safety systems, electrical equipment, and emergency exits appearing repeatedly across multiple surveys from 2018 to 2021. While all violations were corrected with documented dates, the recurring nature of problems with smoke barriers, sprinkler systems, exit signs, and electrical systems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits.
