ABOUT PINECREST
Where Compassion
and Community Come
Together
For more than 100 years, Pinecrest Medical Care Facility has been dedicated to serving the families of Delta, Dickinson, and Menominee counties with exceptional long-term and skilled nursing care. What began in the 1920s as a tuberculosis sanatorium has evolved into a trusted, full-service care facility committed to promoting health, dignity, and comfort for every resident who calls Pinecrest home.
Nestled in the heart of Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula, Pinecrest is more than a care facility—it’s a community built on compassion. Our mission is to provide quality healthcare in a warm, home-like environment where residents feel valued, supported, and connected. We take pride in offering 24-hour skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care services designed to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Behind every service is a team of professionals who embody Pinecrest’s long-standing values of respect, integrity, and dedication. From nurses and therapists to dietary and activities staff, each person plays a vital role in supporting residents’ physical, emotional, and social well-being.
While much has changed over the past century, our commitment remains the same: to serve our community with compassion, excellence, and heart. At Pinecrest, we honor our history by continuing to care for generations of families—helping residents live each day with purpose, comfort, and pride.
