RUTLAND—The Pines at Rutland Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation was recently awarded National Health Care Associates’ Customer Service Cup for 2017. This award is a culmination of consistently high customer service scores throughout 2017 from families and patients at the 99 Allen Street center.
Since 2012, National Health Care Associates (NHCA), the manager and operator of The Pines at Rutland, has contracted with Pinnacle Quality Insights, an independent polling company to provide customer service results for their 40 centers. The results are tabulated and compared against all NHCA-related centers, as well as Pinnacle’s national average.

“I am very proud of the staff at The Pines at Rutland for receiving this award and recognition – really from their patients, residents and their families, based on their stellar Pinnacle results for 2017. Our number one priority each day is the wellness and satisfaction of our patients and residents,” stated Marvin Ostreicher, president of National Health Care Associates. “The four pillars of our mission statement are simply kindness, compassion, service and excellence. The Pines at Rutland clearly exemplifies our mission.”
