My brother-in-law was a resident of Cornerstone Village South before he went for physical therapy. It's very nice. It's been there a few years, but it's modern looking, and everything is on one level. They have handicap ramps. They have several activities and an activities director. It's very clean, you don't smell any odors, it's laid out really nice, and they prepare the food quite well. They have a bus, they go to different places depending on the weather and the time of the year, they go to Walmart, scenic places, and they buy ice cream. It's comparable to other places as far as the price goes.

This facilities has the kindest staff I have encountered in a very long time. The rooms are clean and the food is wonderful and they take Medicaid CHOICES which most facilities do not. I would recommend to anyone.

I visited the Appalachian Christian Village at Pine Oaks (Pine Oaks). I think it was more expensive, and I didn’t like it. The rooms were smaller than the one I have currently. I had five relatives that were there, and I did not like the services that they had.

Pine Oaks was an amazing facility. I have nothing but good things to say about it though my sister was not in there long enough. But they were incredibly great. The rooms were very clean and nice. The people there were very accommodating. The day we moved her in her TV was installed on the wall. They went out of their way to be gracious.

Pine Oaks is clean, but it would not fit our needs. The dining room was clean.

Pine Oaks Assisted Living Community is a great facility and I love it. They keep the place clean. What I like most about this facility is the food, and we also have bingo.

I had a walk-in tour in Pine Oaks. I didn't really have an interaction with their staff, although it was the marketing person that walked me around there. They worked hard to get Dad evaluated even though we didn't choose to go there. The facility was very clean and nice. However, it was probably the least appealing where it looked like everyone was kind of fit in the same level of care. For someone like Dad who is starting in the early stages of dementia, I would rather have him somewhere where he wasn't positioned with someone who was aggressive. Their residents were a lot worse than he was and I just didn't like him to be exposed to that until he had to be. After seeing the way how it was compared to other facilities, I didn't spend more time with them. what I like best about this facility though was that they have an outdoor area that he can go out without supervision and they have secure outdoor memory care. I would recommend this place.

Pine Oaks assisted living impressed me with their upper-class facility. Their landscaping was beautiful, their location was convenient to nearby shopping, and the building was beautiful.
When I visited, it was nothing like most assisted living facilities... It was a non-institutionalized version of a nursing home; where the elderly would feel "at home" rather than in a nursing home.
