Husband was there after knee surgery. HD I not been there to help him it would not have been safe for him. Heard staff treat Alzheimer patients poorly. Seemed to be patients that didn’t have family visit.

We are so blessed to have our dad living at Pinecrest. So many reasons why....too many to list. We would highly recommend Pinecrest to anyone who is looking for a caring, loving environment for their loved one. From what we have witnessed in the past 2 years, you will not be disappointed.

The staff at Pinecrest are extremely caring and professional! The rooms are spacious and very clean. We were extremely impressed with their PT facility and rehab team. We transferred my dad here after he had a short stay at Christian Park in Escanaba . This was the best decision we made in regards to my dads care.
