- PMpatti maloneOct 12, 20251.0Name should be Pines at Heartless. Barest of care, no call when loved one goes to hospital, sometimes are out of meds, rooms/sheets are filthy, phone calls to director and staff go unreturned, in house doc who is only there on Saturday, aren’t interested in making dentist appointments for residents. My brother died two months ago and still no contact indicating condolences or procedure to obtain belongings. Huge disappointment.
- SMsimply miiDec 16, 20241.0Seems like the only people happy are the ones dropping off their "loved ones". It's sad that people don't put more effort into looking for places for their loved ones. Bed bugs is a serious issue and if they have to spray weekly most likely their not going away. Code enforcement might have to inspect or someone in a higher power. That sucks to hear this.
- JLJuneame LopezMay 12, 20241.0This place is filthy. They have a bed bug infestation that they have been dealing with for at least 8 years. DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED 1 IN HERE. When they hire ppl they don't tell you about the bed bugs. When they admit new residents they don't tell them about the bed bugs. Since they allow the residents to keep their rooms looking like a dumpster site that definitely doesn't help the situation. This place should be closed down and the state is aware and yet they allow them to remain open cause the place is treated every Friday for the bed bugs. They never going to get rid of them. They have NO good linen for the residents. When the rooms are treated weekly they simply wash the sheets that are filled with the bed bugs. In all reality they should be burned. Fire and extreme heat is the only way to get rid of the bugs. Fumigation does not kill bed bugs. They have the nerve to expect the best out of their employees you can't get the best under these conditions. This place is a joke. It's disgusting.
- JLJessica LuceMar 16, 20191.0This place is horrible! Nurse do nothing but sit on 1st floor and talk about boyfriends. Also do not make sure meds are being taken by residents. Rude to the residents. Do not bring your love ones to this hell hole! They lie to the families of the love ones.

Is a skilled nursing facility (SNF) like a hospital?
Hospitals provide a range of diagnostic and treatment services, including emergency and intensive care, surgery, diagnostics and imaging. Stays at hospitals are usually much shorter than in a SNF.
Skilled nursing facilities provide around-the-clock care to individuals in a short-term or long-term setting, including rehabilitation following surgeries, therapy services, and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, eating, and dressing. SNFs are staffed by licensed nurses, therapists, and other medical care specialists.
What paperwork is required for admission?
Guests or a responsible party will need to complete an Admission Agreement form with the admissions team within 48 hours of arriving.
Please enquire with our admission team as to which documents you are required to provide copies of.

While our center doesn’t have restrictive visiting hours like hospitals, we generally suggest 8 am to 8 pm. We welcome all visitors and have several areas throughout our center where guests can comfortably congregate with family and friends.

Please leave valuables, such as jewelry, purses, wallets, and large amounts of money at home or with a loved one. We do not permit electrical items such as extension cords, space heaters, or electric blankets.

We place a great emphasis on providing a supportive and safe environment, including adequate supervision, while respecting each person’s right to privacy. Common areas are open for all and guest rooms are private spaces.
How soon will therapy or rehabilitation begin?
Our goal is to ensure guests start rehabilitation as soon as possible. Therapy sessions will begin within 24 hours of admission and are offered up to seven days a week, based on individual care plans.
Are patients able to spend a night at home?
Short-term Medicare and Managed Care/Insurance Patients – During short-term stays, guests are permitted to leave the facility for special occasions (eg. a wedding, funeral, or special religious event), although not overnight.
Long-term Medicaid Patients – Long-term guests are allowed a leave of absence (LOA) based on the Medicaid allowable time. LOAs are reviewed and approved by our medical team to determine the safety of the time away and coordinate any plans to accommodate our guests’ care needs while they are away.

Who will be my doctor? When does the doctor visit?
We have several physicians who visit our guests within 48 hours of their arrival. They also make weekly rounds. If a guest prefers to use an existing primary care physician, our center staff will help them with the guidelines we’re required to follow to accommodate their request.
Our center also has nurse practitioners onsite and 24/7 on-call care staff. Our guest rooms may also include FDA-approved remote monitoring devices that monitor guests’ vitals 24/7. These devices are monitored by a team of RNs who can communicate with physicians and nurse practitioners if there are changes that need to be addressed.
Will i have a voice in my care plan?
It is every patient’s legal right to make their own choices about the care they receive, activities they participate in, and other aspects of their life while staying with us. A resident council, which is a self-governed body in our center, provides our guests with an opportunity to address any concerns.
When it comes to decisions around medical treatment, some guests can opt to give decision-making responsibilities to a loved one, such as a spouse, adult child, or other legally-designated person.
How long will guests stay at the center under their SNF benefit?
Each guest’s length of stay depends on their individual care plan and how they progress through therapy. Please note that insurance-approved days and coverage criteria apply. We will communicate with our guests or their designated caregiver regarding coverage throughout their stay.
How can guests leave the center?
When it comes to helping our guests return home or to another care setting, we closely monitor their progress and assess their requirements with activities of daily living. When appropriate, we support each of our guests with our Passport™ approach, including our Passport to Home program, to ensure a safe return home and continued treatment as needed.
