The Pines at Columbia Assisted Living Community

I am extremely pleased with the care my mother received at The Pines. We had visited two assisted living centers prior to our visit to The Pines. Both of those centers were lovely and the tours were great. However, our tour of The Pines was the best. In addition to an extensive tour that answered all of our questions, we were treated to a wonderful lunch. No other center invited us to eat and I never even thought to ask about doing so. However, being able to eat a meal felt like a dress rehearsal and really made a difference in Mom's decision. The Pines was also the only center where we met several members of the staff and talked to residents during the tour. It was clear the residents were engaged and the caretakers enjoyed both the residents and each other. The place felt joyful where others had felt muted and slightly depressing. Mom left the tour of The Pines and immediately made her choice because she felt so welcomed during the tour by staff and residents. I cannot say enough good things about the intake process. Gina was responsive to every email and provided helpful information at every turn. Gina held our hand while figuring out the intake process and getting paperwork completed. She broke everything down in a way that made it seem less overwhelming and that was so important during this stressful time. Gina was also extremely helpful with questions or concerns after Mom joined the community. The Pines partners with Fox Rehabilitation and I am so grateful to the Fox Therapists for quickly getting Mom back on her feet. She went into The Pines on November 26, 2024, barely able to stand, unable to care for herself and unstable even with a walker. We are scheduled to move Mom back to her home on December 31, 2024, after only a few weeks of rehabilitation and care. Mom can now walk unassisted and is able to fully handle her daily needs. Truly, I'm amazed at how fast Mom rebounded. We expected her stay at The Pines to be at least a few months, if n

Our experience at the Pines with Daddy was quite exceptional. We loved everyone from the cooks to the caregivers to the administration staff and even his fellow neighbors. I was able to bring my Maltipoo "Bogey" when we visited and he was a big hit! The environment there was always clean and the activities were always ongoing, fun and engaging for the residents. I also think the living quarters are spacious and plenty of room. If you're looking for a place for your loved one who needs some extra care or even if they don't, I highly recommend checking out The Pines. Sincerely, Pamela Vietmeier

Very nice facility. My aunt raves about her nice room, the staff, the food and all the amenities. She says she has the best room in the place! I look forward to every visit to the Pines. I especially enjoy interacting with Keyotta, the activity director, and the residents during activities during my visits.
