After recently searching for Pine Creek Rehab and Nursing on Google, I was genuinely taken aback by some of the negative reviews. My own experience has been so profoundly different that I felt compelled to share my story. I have been a resident at Pine Creek since June 2023, having transferred from another facility due to frequent falls and the need for 24-hour nursing care. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and kindness. At the time I was extremely ill- on hospice care, wearing diapers, and dependent on a walker. The nurses and CNA's consistently treated me with exceptional compassion, professionalism, and dignity. Their dedication created not just a safe environment, but a true sense of belonging. Pine Creek fosters a genuine family atmosphere, one built by its residents, nursing staff, and office team working together with care and respect. Today, after nearly two and a half years at Pine Creek, my life has transformed. I am no longer on hospice. I no longer need diapers. And I walk independently. These are changes I once believed impossible, and I credit much of this progress to the unwavering support I have received here. I can say, wholeheartedly and with deep gratitude, that Pine Creek is more than a facility to me- it is my home. Sincerely, Jon O'Rourke

If I could I would do 0 stars, this place almost killed my mother, within about 18 months she dramatically went down hill, from walking around and able to talk and communicate well, using the bathroom on her own and feeding herself, to not being able to do any of this, and being told they want to schedule her appointments with her doctors so they could take her to them, well she didn't make it to any scheduled appointments, the only doctor she saw was the doctor they have at facility, whom don't even go in to see the patients just heard from aids over the phone, and then the last day my mother was there was on mothers day and we walked in and she was so close to death, bleeding internally and they all knew she was bleeding internally. When my sister arrived all the aids and nurse was standing around the desk in front just talking like about 5 to 6 of them and my mother was in her room in distress, practically dead. My sister asked what are you doing, get an ambulance now I'm not leaving here till you do and the nurse or aid I don't know what his position was but he said the facility doctor said to wait to call an ambulance till tomorrow, this doctor was not there to even see what my mother looked like, I mean come one even I know if someone is bleeding internally with black tar stools then they need help like especially how my mother was not even coherent and sheet white! Like no color at all! Yep so the hospital said if my sister had not gone in when she did my mother would not have made it much longer and for sure not through the night!! So that's the experience with my mother. Now the facility itself, when you walk in you get a powerful smell of mildew and urine and poop all in one, the nursing staff that I came in contact with had very bad attitudes and stood around most of the time talking while patients are yelling for help and some call lights on, the ones that work that is! I absolutely would NOT AND I SAY NOT put your loved ones here unless your willing to have them die within a few years. ITS A HORRIBLE PLACE, and I am reporting the place to the state as well. My mother is now at a much better place however has not been the Same since being placed in this PineCreek!!

Please do not put your loved ones in this facility. My grandma was placed in this..hell hole for about 18 months. On mother's day, I decided to come with my mother and my auntie to visit my grandma. Only to find out that she was internally bleeding, pale as could be and unresponsive. Turns out, my grandmother did try to let staff know that she needed to go to the hospital. NO! They made her wait. And the longer she waited, the worse she got. We had to force the nurses there to call an ambulance, they finally came after about 20 minutes and rushed her to the ER. Doctors there said that if she was made to wait any longer than she did, we could have lost her. These people at Pine creek are uncaring, dismissive and selfish. DO NOT..AND I REPEAT, DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED ONES IN THIS FACILITY.

I strongly advise against placing your loved one in this facility. My family member resided here for a month and experienced a significant decline in health. He transitioned from being ambulatory and communicative to requiring a wheelchair and assistance to stand, with diminished ability to communicate or speak. The administration of multiple medications resulted in hallucinations and sedation. Despite my requests to discontinue these medications, my loved one was hospitalized due to over-sedation. Following his removal from the facility and consultation with our primary care physician, he demonstrated marked improvement, regaining his ability to walk and communicate effectively. However, he subsequently required emergency care for a bowel blockage and severe hemorrhoids, which may have been ongoing for an undetermined period. His experience at Pine Creek Rehab led to significant trust issues with new caregivers. Furthermore, he shared a room with two other patients whom he feared, and the facility was notably unclean, with food present throughout the premises, including outdoor areas. I am confident that superior alternatives exist, offering better care at a lower cost. It is imperative to explore these options rather than placing your loved one in this facility.
