Recognizing Fannie Sain

I am very impressed with the therapy department. The entire staff is great, they tend to our needs and are very patient. I love the activities and the things they do for us. The nurses are excellent, and the CNA's are great too! They do everything for me that I can't and never make me feel embarrassed or uneasy when I ask for help. I am so grateful for this facility!

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 entire staff is very friendly. They make sure your needs are met and taken care of properly. The therapy department works hard to get us going. The C wing nurses and CNA's do a great job of giving care.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 have worked at Pine Meadows for eight years and couldn't imagine working anywhere else! I love the communication between all disciplines and the interaction between staff with the residents/family. The building is full of caring staff members, and I am so glad to be apart of it.

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.
