Pine Forest Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare

Pine Forest Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare offers both short-term rehab and long-term care for up to 76 certified beds and usually cares for about 73 residents a day, so it's on the smaller side but has a range of services-they do skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, plus they have staff and set-ups for specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, and you can see they do try to show some heart in their approach, offering things like personalized care plans, companion services at the push of a bedside button, and even have unique outdoor spaces and special programs to try and make life better for everyone there. They've got a nurse turnover rate that's about half the state average, which suggests their staff sticks around more than most places, but their nurse staffing hours per resident is a bit under the state norm, meaning there may be fewer nurses on duty at any given time than you'd find elsewhere-it averages out to about 3.26 nurse hours per resident per day. Pine Forest is owned and run as a for-profit limited liability company, with new management-Arun Arora, Jacqueline Dunlap, Elimelich Greenfield, and David Lider-taking over in January 2025, which is a recent shift for them, and sometimes with new ownership it takes folks a while to work through changes and settle things down. They do have open admissions seven days a week for folks looking to move in or transition from the hospital, and their care team is experienced and known for compassion, working in a home-like environment where personal care, assistance, and companionship are always close by. When it comes to safety and standards, though, they've had some hiccups, as the most recent inspection in February 2025 found five deficiencies-three of them notable: one for not always meeting professional standards in services, one for not always completing care plans correctly, and one for not always handling reports of abuse, neglect, or exploitation as strongly as required, and inspectors felt these issues could cause more than minimal harm, plus there's been one infection-related deficiency and 11 total recorded in recent reports, so that's important for families to keep in mind. Still, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services gave Pine Forest Center a four-star overall rating, which comes from looking at inspections, staffing, and quality measures altogether. Pine Forest says it aims to support the mind, body, and spirit for all residents, trying to focus on dignity and well-being while providing healthcare and rehabilitation services under one roof, and they try to offer both comfort and a bit of extra support for every individual who lives there.
