The staff at this nursing home go above and beyond for their residents every single day. You can feel the level of care and commitment the moment you walk in. What really stands out is how many staff members have been here for decades-that kind of longevity says everything about the culture, leadership, and dedication to the community. That level of consistency is rare in long-term care. And I have to give a special shoutout to Jason, the administrator-he’s an absolute legend. His leadership truly sets the tone and makes this place what it is. If you’re looking for a facility where residents are genuinely cared for by people who take pride in what they do, this is it.

Excel at the pines has an incredible physical therapy department small staff big talents who really know what they are doing and give 100 percent to thier patients the pines also has an incredible nursing staff working constantly to insure the patients are well cared for the director of nursing goes out on the floors and works with her staff I can not say enough about how dedicated most of the staff is at the pines the nurse aids perform above and beyond for the must part performing a wide array of different tasks I seen some of them very exhausted when thier shift was over the activities department works hard to provide an escape from a mundane life bingo party's social events the building is getting older the management makes an large effort to maintain and upgrade this facility the only improvement they need now is a few more staff to make the load for thier really great workers a little easier I was and am happy and grateful for my experience as a patient at excel at the pines

This facility is old and it needs a lot of work. They’re understaffed and whatever laundry facility that they use someone is stealing the patient clothes and when you complain about it the only answer that you’ll get oh it’s like this in these state facilities which is unacceptable state facility or not they need to do better they need to address the theft someone is going to either find his clothes or reimburse me! I work hard for my money! Why is it allowed to go on? The nonsense my uncle tells me that goes on at night is ridiculous, you complain and it goes in one ear and out the other. So then it’s write to the state I guess, Because the patient should always come first at all times not being talked to like children, They’re grown adults. I’m so disappointed in the administration. The administrator quit smh these are the people that are in charge of this facility. They need to do better my uncle is in here and I’m telling you I am going back to the store. I’m going to get my receipt and they’re going to reimburse me for the theft of clothes that I bought my uncle because this is absolutely ridiculous do not send your loved ones here! How trifling and pathetic to steal clothes from people who are sick and it’s the family spending their hard earned money to take care of their family in there!!. One of the best staff members was Antoinette and she’s gone, she was very caring and nurturing . Just because it’s a state facility your still accountable for the care of your patients and from what I’ve seen for the past 10 months…… I have to talk to some over whose there!
