Nurses Week

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.

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.

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. [wowslider id="26"]

The reason I chose this center is that it's closer to my home and my children can come to visit! Bridgette M. takes very good care of me! Cleo W. makes sure I'm in bed when I want. B-Wing nurses are good too! The facility is good, clean, and we are well taken care of.

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!

I would recommend Pine Meadows to my family and friends. I love all my co-workers. I love our therapy department and our staff nurses; they treat residents like family.

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.

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."

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.

I chose Pine Meadows because I like the staff and the way they do their jobs. I really like Carrie, the nurse in C hall. She is an amazing nurse; the therapy department was also great.
