Pine Grove Nursing Home

Care plans are developed with the medical team and family, taking personal preferences, medical needs and life goals into account. On-site physicians oversee residents’ medical needs, and a physician is assigned upon admission.

The nursing team manages residents’ medications. A local pharmacy fills prescriptions and provides over-the-counter medications; a physician, nurse and pharmacist review medications every three months or as needed.

Pine Grove provides specialized care for residents with dementia, Alzheimer’s and other cognitive conditions. Its personalized palliative and end-of-life care focuses on comfort, dignity and support for residents and families.

In-house rehabilitation staff are available four days a week to support residents’ mobility and independence.

Resident rooms have grab bars, nurse call systems and non-slip flooring. For residents with dementia, True Doors are designed to help with room recognition, and multi-sensory lights are used to promote relaxation.

Music stations and reflective art murals are part of the dementia-support environment.

A council of residents and family members meets with activity staff at least four times a year, with minutes distributed. Contact Pine Grove for current visiting arrangements.

For appointments, arrangements are made for a family member to accompany the resident. The resident or family is responsible for other outside appointments and related transportation, examination and professional-staff costs.

A dental hygienist visits the home regularly and is available to residents as needed.

A consulting dietitian works with the dietary team on meal plans for residents’ medical needs, including low-sodium and texture-modified meals.

The rotating menu features seasonal ingredients and resident favorites. Residents can eat together in large dining areas or have meals in their rooms.

Meal plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needs or preferences change, with families involved in those adjustments.

Activities include bingo, live music and craft sessions, as well as seasonal events, chapel services and garden strolls.

A calendar of daily activities and special events is posted around the home and available at the front desk. It is also shared on social media, and copies can be emailed on request.

Weekly laundry service covers residents’ clothing and linens, with items labeled on admission. Residents may do their own laundry with assistance if they prefer.

Housekeeping includes daily trash removal, restroom cleaning and attention to high-touch areas, along with weekly deep cleaning of rooms and common areas.

Guided walking programs work on balance, coordination and gait. Residents can also take part in balance and fall-prevention training.

Mobility support includes transfer chairs, custom seating solutions and mobility aids. Paved walkways around the home are available for residents to use when they can.
