Della Ward stated that she was admitted to Pine Meadows for therapy because the facility was close to her home after a recent hospitalization. She said the staff here is kind and helpful. She really enjoys the food here and her overall stay has been pleasant as well.

Barry Jones a resident at Pine Meadows wanted to share his experience here so far. He admitted to us after the nursing home he was in closed down. He stated he chose Pine Meadows because people in the community recommended him go here along with the staff at his other home. He also chose here because he has always lived in Bolivar.

He mentioned a few departments that stood out along with a couple specific team members. The CNA’s are friendly and the nurses are very dedicated professionals according to Mr.Jones. Mr.Barry provides a few specific CNA’s and nurses that care for him daily.(Dorothy,Catherine,Carolyn,Lanette) Barbara and Margo from the activities department are very kind and inviting to help get me involved in activities says Mr.Jones. Dietary department provided food and snacks that make me feel more at home. He also mentions that Johnny Weems, social worker, went above and beyond by going out and getting him personal supplies when he first admitted. From the words of Mr.Jones, “I don’t know what I would have done without his kindness.

There are a few other comments that Mr.Barry provided during our conversation, “the food here is very good and tasty”, and “staff is cooperative and helpful and willing to help me in any way possible.”

The family of the late Norman Rhodes thank the staff for all that you did for Dad over the last seven years plus.

Your dedication to his and the other residents comfort is to be commended.

Thank you very much,
The Rhode Family.

My name is Sarah Murphy.

I chose Pine Meadows for myself.

The reason I chose this center is because the facility if nice and close to home.

Was there any specific team member or department that stood out and why? They all was great!!!

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your experience with our center? May you all be Blessed in taking care of others. THANK YOU!

Dear Erica,
Thank you so much for the card and memory book Pine Meadows provided to the family. What a really nice gesture that is for your residents’ next of kin upon death of the loved one.
Also, on behalf of the three Maxey brothers, Randy, Dan, & David, please extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the staff members from the aides to the nurses to the management of Pine Meadows for an impressive showing of compassion and caring shown to Joe during his brief stay. Our Mother was in four different facilities in KY and then TN and I never saw or experienced the feeling of confidence in a group of caretakers like I did at Pine Meadows.

This family was at their wit’s end trying to find a center for their loved one to admit to. They have been so thankful since the admission of their loved one. Today was Mr.Maxey’s birthday, so his brother David brought a cake by to thank our staff for the job well done and to celebrate Mr.Maxey’s birthday.

I chose Pine Meadows for my loved one because of its outstanding reputation. Erica, the admissions coordinator, was knowledgeable, helping, and efficient. I enjoyed meeting all of the ladies across the various departments. The efficiency with all impressed me. I fell in love with Holley after our talk and could not have been happier!

Mr. Lambert
Mrs. Lambert

The family of Judy W. would like to express our gratitude to the staff and employees for the care, concern and therapy while she was there.
We never thought should would walk again when we carried her there, but she did with the help of the therapist.
Your kindness and love shown to her was greatly appreciated.

My family and I would like to thank you for the flowers sent to remember my brother Joe. All of you helped to make a situation more acceptable. He received treatment there that I would recommend to anyone in need of this type of care. A very clean facility, well-staffed and with a caring attitude towards my brother and a willingness to explain things and contacting me when the need arose. Thank you again for caring.

Dear Pine Meadows:
The family of Mr. Samuel Haddix would like to take this opportunity to express to the entire staff of Pine Meadows (especially the A-Wing) our sincere and deep appreciation for the care shown to our loved one.
Several of the staff (especially Juanita, Ricky, Beverly, Maggie and Erica) went above and beyond the routine care given to patients and it showed. They were very caring of our husband and father, and we will never forget the level of care and treatment he received in your facility.
Thank you seems so inadequate to describe the way our family feels regarding the A-Wing staff. They were all so kind and understanding.
So many times you hear nothing but negative things concerning nursing homes, but we can truly say that our husband and father could not have received better care anywhere else. We have no regrets about placing him in your care and we are so appreciative of the love he was shown while in your facility.
Again, thank you for your love, patience, dedication to your work and diligence with which you carry out your jobs.

Connie,

My father, Joe Cofer, my brother, Rick, and I are very thankful for the wonderful care both mom and dad received at Pine Meadows.
Last Saturday, the actions of the nurses and staff were absolutely astounding. The love and support mom received during the last hours of her life will never be forgotten by our family. Dad made it through this time because of the comfort and concern of his Pine Meadows family.

Thank you again.

I want to thank all of you at Pine Meadows for the love and care extended to my mother, Bonnie Neill, during her stay there. She loved you all very much and as family. We will never forget your kindness.

A very special thanks to “B” wing nurses and CNA’s Physical therapy Dept. and all who worked as closely with her and gave her the positive encouragement she needed.

Dear Glenda,

Thank you for all that your and your staff did for Marianne. Thank you for helping me by making her funeral arrangements. I appreciate everything you did. I know she had great care at Pine Meadows. She will be missed.

Dear Staff,

I would like to express my gratitude for your generosity and caring, not only for your residents, but for their families as well. The recent Thanksgiving dinner was definitely a success. My compliments to the Chef! The cuisine was wonderful.

It was so refreshing to be able to have family together to eat. For various reasons, even some of us at home don’t get a family Thanksgiving dinner. This time together is cherished.

Thank you for all your hard work and caring. You ALL are deeply appreciated.

Dear Sharon,

We have never met, but I hear so many wonderful things about you from my friend, Carolyn Redfearn. She has told me many times how she was so blessed to have you keep her informed and do so much for her dad, Robert Webb. Of course, she appreciated all of the staff there at Pine Meadows as well.

My husband and I had the privilege of knowing and visiting with Mr. & Mrs. Webb while they were still in their home. Please accept this small donation in memory of Mr. Webb. Thanks again for all you have done to make it easier for Mrs. Webb and for his family also.

Dear Glenda McCartney, Barbara Gammel, staff, and residents,

I just wanted to thank you for the nice gift that you blessed me with at the Volunteer Banquet!!
I can not believe what started as one person teaching Sunday School and Bible Study on Wednesday nights in 1981 has blossomed some three and a half decades later into an awesome ministry from First Baptist Church, Bolivar, TN.

I am just so very thankful that God has allowed me to be a small part of this ministry. I love each and everyone! If I can be of any service to the residents or staff please feel free to call on me. Looking forward to many more years of service with “our family” at Pine Meadows.

Much love to you all.
