Our read on Pine Crest Guest Home Inc

Pine Crest Guest Home runs about 4.19 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% above the national average, but that staffing thins out on weekends, dropping about 28% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially even with the national figure, so continuity isn't the concern here. The bigger issue is the inspection record: eight deficiencies on file, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $15,945 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was in December 2024, so the picture is fairly current. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 55-bed home. Strong weekday staffing, real gaps on weekends, and a troubling deficiency history, that combination is what a family should weigh.
