Overview of Pine Crest Nursing Home

Facebook

Pine Crest Nursing Home is a 120-bed skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation facility at 2100 E Sixth Street in Merrill, Wisconsin, in Lincoln County. Owned by Lincoln County as a governmental entity and managed by Ensign Services, with Ryan Hanson as administrator, the facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

CMS rates Pine Crest Nursing Home the highest tier 5 stars, with all 3 regulatory dimensions above the Wisconsin average: health inspection by 44.4 percent, staffing by 38.1 percent, and overall by 66.1 percent. Quality measures run modestly below the Wisconsin average at 8.8 percent. The inspection record is strong. Across 7 surveys since 2023, Pine Crest Nursing Home totaled just 16 citations against a 27.3 Wisconsin average at 2.29 per inspection, ranking 18th of 174 Wisconsin SNFs. No critical or serious citations have been issued. All 16 citations are moderate or minor and corrected. Pharmacy Services is the leading deficiency category at 5 deficiencies (31 percent). No civil money penalties have been imposed in the past three years. Staffing ranks 55th of 172 Wisconsin SNFs at 4 hours 34 minutes per resident per day, 8 percent above Wisconsin average. Q4 2025 data shows 154 total staff with just 4.3 percent contractor hours, among the lowest contractor shares in this batch, and all 64 CNAs are directly employed. Quality measure performance for long-stay residents warrants attention on three metrics: depressive symptoms at 8.1 percent are 60 percent above Wisconsin average, walking decline at 28.9 percent is 27 percent above average, and UTI rate at 4.5 percent is 42 percent above average. Antipsychotic use, weight loss, ADL decline, and incontinence are at or below the Wisconsin benchmark. The current census of 73 residents across 120 beds reflects a 69 percent occupancy rate, consistent with Wisconsin average, with 76.7 percent of current residents funded by Medicaid and an average length of stay of 401 days, indicating a predominantly long-term care population.

In-house therapy covers physical, occupational, and speech services, alongside dental services staff and on-site hospice care. The Stay Active program structures the monthly activity calendar for resident engagement.

Pine Crest Nursing Home suits Lincoln County families seeking a 5-star CMS-rated skilled nursing facility. Those placing long-stay residents must inquire first regarding mental health programming and infection prevention protocols before deciding.

39m
Avg State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
