St. Martin's in the Pines

Reviewer#RD1219s

My mom is at St. Martin's In the Pines. She is going to get long-term care. I like that when I call with concern, they're handled immediately. Her CNA during the day is just wonderful. I really love her. The physical appearance of the facility is good and most of the time it's clean. They are a little short-staffed right now, so sometimes it takes a minute for some of the rooms to be cared for, but for the most part, it's pretty clean. They have transportation. They also have gardens and a patio.

Poorest of care & Only care about money. The Doctor over all the residents is incompetent & doesn’t care. The staff are lazy & don’t know what they are doing. My relative went in healthy but caught numerous infections that could kill. Terrible with small dirty rooms.

My mom is at the skilled nursing area of St. Martin's In the Pines. I like that it is a cottage type setting with only ten residents per floor. All the meals are cooked there, and they've got a large gathering room with reclining chairs, a fireplace, a huge kitchen, a dining room, and screened-in porch. It's like living in a home instead of being in a traditional nursing home. Thus far, the staff has been very caring. Their ratio is five patients to one care provider, plus they have an RN 24 hours a day, and so far, the care has been good. They've only been open to visitors for ten days now because of COVID, which is how most of the places are, and as far as cost, their price is in line with everybody else.

This a great place, like a big and friendly home. Residents have private rooms with big bathrooms, furniture, a beautiful common area with a fireplace, big tv, recliners, and dining room. It looks cozy. No bad smells at all! Very clean. Nursing station is right here, so a nurse can see residents very well. Also from a common room, you can enter a big screen porch with a beautiful view of the forest and a lake. There are a lot of different activities for residents almost for every day-music, meditation, games, exercises. Staffs are friendly and professional. Best place in Birmingham!

My father-in-law went to St. Martin’s for rehab for 60 days. He was in a simple, fine, double room. The food was very good. He fell a couple of times there. I would go by and shave him and take him out for fresh air. I had to meet with the directors of medical care, nursing, and physical therapy within a week of him being there just to get his promised care.

St. Martin’s-in-the-Pines provides everything for mom, like medical care, food, bathing, and has a doctor and nurses on-staff. I think it’s real good care, and we are very pleased. I like the setup of the cottages, which are more like homes. They have a great area with the kitchen open, and you can see every bedroom from that area. There’s 10 bedrooms per floor. They all can come out into the main living area and eat together in the dining area where they cook the meals.
