Pine Crest Nursing Home sits quietly near state parks and the Krueger Pines State Natural Area, providing a calm setting for residents who need skilled nursing care, memory care, or short-term rehab. The facility has up to 160 beds and offers private rooms. There's a 20-bed Special Care Unit for dementia and a 20-bed Rehab Unit. People can get both long-term care and short-term help after an illness, injury, or surgery, and those needing hospice, comfort, or respite services have options too. Pine Crest has trained nurses on duty all day and night and works with a team of caregivers, therapists, and staff focused on every resident's daily needs and medical care. Residents have assistance with daily tasks, medication management, wound care, and pain management, while those who need more complex clinical care or support for developmental disabilities are also welcome. There's an aquatic therapy center and access to various therapies-physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory-often right on site, and non-residents can come in for some rehab services if they make an appointment.
The facility has an indoor aviary, outdoor walking paths, and common areas for activities like music, dance, and even fishing. Residents can get manicures and use on-site beautician and barber services. Meal plans are tailored with dietitian input and people often invite family or friends to join them in the dining area. Personal laundry services are available. Medical services on site include bladder scans, ultrasound, X-rays, lab testing, dental, podiatry, and psychiatric consultations. Pine Crest offers Medicare and Medicaid-certified programs and provides substance use treatment, crisis services, and support for wellness and comfort. Transportation for medical appointments and special events comes with an extra fee. There's help if someone needs assistance with bathing, getting dressed, and moving around, and the staff encourages everyone to socialize and stay active through regular activities. The facility is run by North Central Health Care and owned by Lincoln County, and there are people to talk to for questions about operations or care decisions. Pine Crest earns a 4.2 rating from reviews and has a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, so while the place has a lot of resources, it keeps a steady focus on everyday comfort and proper care for those who live there.
