What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Abuse icon on record

    CMS flags this facility for citations of abuse that caused harm, or potential for harm, to residents.

  • $198,352 in federal fines

    CMS has fined this facility across 5 penalty action(s).

Our read on Pine Crest Health Care

Pine Crest runs on about 2.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop another 18% under its own weekday level. Nine of the 53 deficiencies on record sit at harm or jeopardy level, and there are ten abuse-related citations plus four fines totaling nearly $120,000. The one bright spot is turnover, 30.3% against a national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay. But with a 1-star inspection rating and a 199-bed for-profit partnership, the numbers suggest a building where the care depends heavily on which shift your relative happens to get.
