EMS Week

We chose Pine Meadows for Claretta. We had heard good things about the facility from family as well as other sources. Gwen Jones & I connected immediately. She is my first shift CNA. Gwen took extra time to encourage me and show me how to do things to benefit my recovery. She played a big part in bringing me out of my shell and addressing my fear of being in a skilled nursing facility. Gwen, Brown, and Dana Thompson - my second shift aides are very sweet and understanding. They give me great care and have unlimited patience. The therapy department worked very hard to get me up and moving. They are excellent motivators. The speech therapist, Angela worked extremely hard to help me with speech and communication skills. I would get upset and cry, and she would also console me by telling me that, "everything will get better" and that I was doing a great job.

Some team members that really stood out for me were Beverly, Ricky, Christine, Sarah, and Theresa. They were very patient with me. I enjoyed my experience.

Some of the CNA's are my favorite. Kiana Nash is an excellent CNA; she works very hard for her residents. Nichole Valentine on 2nd shift is also good to me. Christina does her job well, and Teresa has a great sense of humor. The therapy department is fantastic.

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.

I chose Pine Meadows Healthcare because it is close to my home and my grandparents were here in the past. Out of many outstanding staff members, I must mention Armanda Sain, Gwen Brown, Bridget Gwen, Beverly Walton, Cassidy, Mike, and Joe. This place felt like home.

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

Everyone at Pine Meadows greets you with a friendly smile.

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.

The reason I chose this center for my loved one Glendora, is that I was impressed with the staff and facility. Catherine M. stood out to me; she is an outstanding team member and loved by my mother and our family. It has been a great experience. The staff is awesome.

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.
