Lions and Tigers and Bears (oh my!)

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.

The reason I chose this center is that it was close to my family, I knew Ms. Connie P works here, and my sister Margo works here too! The entire staff is extremely good to me. They go above and beyond to take care of me. Sarah B (OT) is awesome, always goes above and beyond. I have been treated extremely nice by the entire staff! The A-Wing aides go above and beyond- very hard workers, especially Tonya, Beverley, Teresa, Sheronda, and Jennifer!

The nursing staff is both efficient and compassionate. I chose Pine Meadows because of its excellent reputation, and I knew they could attend to my husband's needs.

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 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!

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 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.

The entire staff does a good job taking care of me. The food is good and I like the church groups that come. I also enjoy the view from my room.

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.
