This place has no communication. Their website was no help and has been under construction since August 2023! I have a relative living here who was told they would receive care on a certain day and the nurse never came in but actually left early. I called several times with no answer from the assisted living staff.

People are friendly and very helpful. Have the patients best interest at heart and I would strongly recommend it. However we were not allowed entrance to pack up belongings for return home after staying in skilled nursing. Consequently we came home missing all of my father’s sweatpants , a hearing amplifier, book from home, and a few other items. We had taken all but two of his sweatpants to the nursing home and these were no longer available for purchase where we’d originally bought them or elsewhere in town and they were not supposed to be doing his laundry. Didn’t have this problem before Covid when my mother was there.

My mom fell and needed rehab after the hospital. We drove around and looked at seven (7) places and this was a gem to find! Smelled and looked clean, friendly people from head nurse Christine, RNs, CNAs, therapists, and everyone else. They cared about the people, made everything so enjoyable. We ate a few meals in dining room with my mom and they were so great with all the patients needs and wants. Rooms were nice [basic] but clean and not shabby, they came around with snacks and just to check in on patients!. Daily activities for patients, a hair appt day and nail salon day, bingo and other events to encourage socialization. They would come quickly when you rang and it seemed that every worker enjoyed their jobs and desired to help patients. They also have an assisted living side, seemed great also but we were there for rehab for 8 days. So thankful we found Pioneer Place and we highly recommend them in your time of need!
