This is a great place that really took good care of me. I was there for IV antibiotics and physical therapy. The staff were friendly and I was taken care of very well and recovered fully. I can’t thank the center and the staff enough for all they did for me.

Pine Ridge Care Center is a nice place, but my client didn't do good there. The people at the front desk were helpful. They have physical therapy that she went to several times a week. Almost everyone there was on MediCare and that was very great because the cost was taken care of. They're very professional in many ways, and for a nursing home, it was quite good.
