The Pines Healthcare Center

It is a smaller home with 80 certified beds. On a typical day about 74 people live there, so it usually runs near full — ask early about bed availability.

Its own pages list physical, occupational, and speech therapy, dementia care, respite (short caregiver-relief) stays, cardiac recovery, and hospice and palliative support through partners. The pages also describe care for complex medical, pulmonary, and post-surgical needs and rehab after a nerve or brain injury. Confirm any specific service with the facility before deciding.

It is part of the CommuniCare family of companies, a family-owned network of about 121 care buildings across six states. In official records it is listed as a for-profit corporation. Nearby Ohio buildings the same operator runs include Hanover Healthcare Center in Massillon.

Government inspectors give it 5 out of 5 stars overall. Health inspections are rated 4 stars, quality measures 5 stars, and staffing 2 stars. The last inspection cycle found 2 issues and no fines. Star ratings come from official government health inspections and reporting — they are a regulatory measure, not family reviews.

Staffing is the one weak score at 2 stars, and official data shows about 37 percent of nursing staff and 2 administrators left in the past year. Ask how many nurses and aides work each shift, how nights and weekends are covered, and how the home keeps staff steady.

The center's page describes bingo, community outings, fishing trips, and holiday parties, plus a yearly car show for the Canton community. Ask for a current activity calendar to see what is offered week to week.

Call the facility at 330-454-6508. Its admissions page lists 24/7 admissions, government-certified coverage, and private-pay options. It does not list veterans' or managed-care contracts, so if you rely on a specific plan, ask the admissions coordinator whether your coverage is accepted. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage directly with the facility before making a decision.
