"One of my lifelong friends lives at this facility, and it is a great place. The staff members are all real sweet and courteous, the meals are home-cooked- nothing like “nursing home” food you would expect. Plus, there is an open kitchen, dining and living area in every house (the 6 houses are spacious, really nice houses and only offer private bedrooms with private bathrooms/showers). They also have a lot of “socials” where they gettogether in one of the houses and have music and food or movies and popcorn, etc. I don’t think there is a better place to move your loved one into. Most places require shared rooms, and at least shared bathrooms, but luckily that is not the case at this nursing home. Other than the fact that the facility in and of itself is really nice, pretty and recently built, the care provided to my friend is great. They always have an RN on staff, but often it’s RNs that are taking care of her, not just a med nurse. They check out every little cough and seem to keep a very close eye on her health. Let’s face it, her health is her top priority at this point in life, and the staff there seem to have the same viewpoint for all the residents. They stay in close contact with her family by calling and having face to face meetings with her whole care team to go over progress, changes, and making sure they are all on the same page. I just can’t express how much better this place is compared to the other two she was previously in. "

"My dad is a resident of Pinehills. They provide excellent care, and treat him with love and compassion. I know that the care he receives at Pinehills is better than the care we provided for him at home. While we had sitters and my husband and I were with him at home, we still could not take care of him the way the staff at Pinehills does. "

"My father was in the rehabilitation part of Ouachita Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for 21 days back in May of last year. The nursing staff was good and took very good care of my father. We had problems with the ones that go to the rooms doing the laundry because they weren't supposed to do my father's laundry, but they kept going in and getting his clothes, and his clothes would never be returned. He didn't like the food at all. The dining area was nice and clean, but they had their own little dining area in his hall so he didn't have to go all the way around to the other end where everyone else was. What I liked best was the way the nurses cared for him. "
