EMS Week

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.

Not only do I work at Pine Meadows, my family and I recently had the opportunity to discuss whether to possibly admit one of our family members with terminal illnesses. The staff here is amazing, caring, and go above and beyond; not just for our work family, but for anyone in need of our services. Jan, Connie, Amanda, and Erica. Ladies, you will forever hold a special place in our hearts. My work family from Cooperate on down, we appreciate every act of kindness, the prayers, and Erica Parker you're one in a million. Thanks for being there for my sister in law and staying till we got there. I'm truly thankful for my work family.

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.

I chose Pine Meadows Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center because I heard it was a good place.

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.

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."

Pine Meadows is a friendly place where you always feel welcome!

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.

I chose Pine Meadows Rehabilitation Center after my fall after it was suggested that I would need therapy because my previous experience here was great. The activities are great; I enjoy them so much. Margo and Cindy are awesome!

I chose this center for my loved one Odie Cheshier. The reasons I chose this center are convenience, space, staff, and activities. Thank you Dolfie Jones, who showed a special interest in the care for my loved one.
