PineCrest Retirement Community sits in Lufkin, Texas, and has served older adults for over 30 years as the area's only faith-based, non-profit retirement community. The campus gives people many choices, from patio homes and apartments for independent living to suites for assisted living, memory support, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care, so folks can stay in one place as their needs change. The community sits near Woodland Heights Medical Center and St. Luke's Health Memorial Hospital, with easy access to local museums, zoos, theaters, national forests, lakes, and parks for people who still like getting out and about. PineCrest is part of Methodist Retirement Communities, rooted in serving seniors since 1962, and follows a mission focused on honoring and serving older adults as an expression of Christ's love.
PineCrest has a team with a lot of experience and makes sure residents get care that fits each person's needs and independence. Independent living options include patio homes and apartments with several floor plans for people who want a social and active, yet easy and hassle-free, lifestyle. Assisted living provides help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medicine. Memory support helps people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia feel safe and less confused, and there's a team and special areas set up for this memory support. Long-term care is for people who need ongoing care from professionals, while short-term rehabilitation helps people recover after surgery, illness, or injury. PineCrest also has home health services that include 24/7 personal assistance, on-call nurses, help with errands, hygiene, meals, and medicine, so even those preferring to stay at home can get health checks and visits when needed.
The setting at PineCrest feels lively and welcoming, with social events, planned activities, entertainment, dining options, wellness programs, devotional activities, and outings. People can enjoy indoor and outdoor common areas, arts, and different cultural activities. Amenities like Crestview Terrace, Crestview Place, and Crestview Unity offer spots to gather. Residents can take part in a photo gallery, video gallery, and visit local area attractions. PineCrest handles most medical needs for independent living residents and also supports diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, and incontinence care.
Personalized care plans, scheduled doctor visits, and regular evaluations help folks keep their independence as long as possible. The campus uses a long-term care ombudsman, so residents can speak up or resolve complaints with help that's confidential and free of charge. Information is available online through their website, which features FAQs, testimonials, a blog/news section, and an online form for questions, and PineCrest keeps an active presence on Facebook and Instagram. Methodist Retirement Communities manages PineCrest with a thoughtful approach that covers all the main areas of senior living, so families tend to feel confident that their loved ones' changing needs can be met in one place.
