Pine Meadows Post Acute

Pine Meadows Post Acute sits at 1608 Hillrise Dr. in Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky, offering short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing home care for older adults and those needing medical help between the hospital and home, and you'll find it's a place where folks get support with things like recovering from surgery, injury, or illness under a doctor's plan, and they have a big rehab gym with licensed professionals who guide recovery. The facility provides skilled nursing and intermediate care, serving some very frail people who need lots of help, as well as specialized attention like incontinence care, diabetic care, and support for people who can't walk. Pine Meadows has 114 certified beds and usually has around 112 residents each day, and the staff includes nurses who people describe as very quick, although the nurse turnover rate is above the state average, running about 54.1%, and they provide about 3.68 nurse hours per resident daily, which falls a bit short of Kentucky's 3.9-hour average. Residents find everyday living support, community spaces for gatherings, activities on and off-site, suites with private showers made for comfort and safety, and an effort from the team to make everyone feel at home and informed when they move in, though there are times the administrator doesn't always follow up on what's promised. Pine Meadows is classified as a skilled nursing facility and post-acute care center, connected with Pacs Group, and it operates as a for-profit limited liability company, and folks can stop by the front office for help during office hours, Monday through Friday from 8 am to 7 pm and weekends from 9 am to 5 pm, but there's always someone at admissions and the front desk 24/7 in case there are questions or worries. The staff features licensed experts who are ready to answer care questions, and the facility makes an effort to keep people comfortable, safe, and aware of what's happening during transitions. Inspectors have recorded some problems, noting 18 deficiencies over time, which include issues with assessment coordination, pressure ulcer care, and three infection-control violations, alongside a complaint logged from November 2023 and a few other care planning concerns, but the community keeps busy trying to offer care around the clock and hopes to be a steady center for healing, whether folks need a short stay for rehab or a longer spot to call home, and the facility gets mixed reviews with a current rating of 3.7 out of 7.
