Pine Creek Care Center

I was at Pine Creek Care Center. It is a skilled nursing and rehab. I got all my physical therapy and whatnot there. I was a director of nurses in long-term care for 25 years, so I'm from that end. When I tell you my impression, it is both as a patient who is in a lot of pain and as someone who just knows what the regulations are and things like that. Pine Creek Care Center has very nice wide hallways, and lights are coming in. They have excellent rehab staff. Also the dietitian I would give high marks to as far as talking with you finding out your likes and dislikes, and it showed up on all trays from then on. The nursing staff overall were usually attentive and very courteous. If I have to go back again, I would go there at Pine Creek Care Center. I was just there for rehab. I wasn't able to do much as far as activities because I had a raw fracture, but I did get to church service, and I was down to physical therapy and occupational therapy. They took me to where most called a gym, and it was part of the therapy, but still it was out of the bedroom and out mixing with people and so on. I really thought their menu varied, and meals were also served hot or at the appropriate temperature. While it wasn't a restaurant thing, it was nutritional food, so I can't fault that at all.

Mom has been to this facility for 12 days. I was really happy with this facility. It was great! She broke her hip and then had a surgery. She went there for a rehab. As soon as she left the hospital she went to a rehab. I very much like this facility. She's well taken care of. The staff are all very nice, very knowledgeable, very helpful, very kind. I would recommend this facility to others.

We felt this facility was short staffed, and although our dad was there only a short amount of time, we felt his care was neglected. Communications were terrible. It was hard to get through on the phone and a family member drove all the way there from the bay area to fill out forms that they could not find. When he was transported back to the hospital, they left his personal belongings at their facility. When I called to check his status one day, the nurse was unable to read the notes.

Horrible! Never put a loved one in this home. I have to admit this is the only home I have experienced so I can't compare but was completely heartbroken to see the way staff cared for patients. Unless you go daily (and stay for long periods of time) to ensure your loved one is taken care of or even given medications that are ordered by a doctor... I can assure you that the staff there won't! However there is one nurse there that will properly take care of your loved one and his name is Jeffery. However Jeffery can't be there around the clock. Please! I know it's a hard choice to place a loved one in a home but for their sake take the time to find a better place. My loved one was there 4 days before passing. Please out of the love for the human kind do not put your loved one in this nursing facility! Once again I have no other home to base this off of but if this is the best they have"¦ if you can quit your job and care for them yourself, or check them into the ER it would be a good choice! Thank God my loved one only stayed there 4 days and I was there to advocate for them! - I know your situation and wish I could have read this review before experiencing it myself... God Bless. And thank God for Jeffery.
