Our read on Pine Hill Rehabilitation And Wellness Center

Pine Hill Rehabilitation and Wellness Center is a 190-bed for-profit in Birmingham, and the numbers that stand out most are about the people doing the work. Nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day, about 17% under the national average, and it drops roughly 18% further on weekends, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 71.9% is well above the national figure of 45.8%, which means aides and nurses cycle through quickly and residents see a lot of unfamiliar faces. The current record carries 16 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The last full inspection was in March 2024.
