If you look it up, you'll find that Pinewood is above the national and state averages of long term residents who've lost significant amounts of weight. Why? Because they simply hate the food. <br />But at the same time if you go to a place like pinewood, or any other skilled nursing facility, expecting a great little family feast with 5 star cuisine and 5 star service than your even more out of your mind than the most far-gone resident with dementia. <br />I'm certain that for your Grandma the fact that the food might not have been world class quality paled in comparison to the fact that she was able to spend the evening surrounded by her family... So please, come visit your grandma every once and awhile. Even if you have to put up with bad food and foul odors. It makes a difference, trust me, I KNOW!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636159147473187753.post-12634136648859900422008-11-23T19:15:00.000-08:002008-11-23T19:15:00.000-08:00I've been in Pinewood care center.

Grandma CAN'T leave the nursing home. She's physically unable to and mentally, she doesn't know if it's Thanksgiving, Easter, or Tuesday the 15th of May with her memory loss and dementia. Also, we "repaid her" with our own Thanksgiving dinner for her for many years before she couldn't come anymore, that's we decided to visit her place last year. Don't be such a grouchy pants.OrangeTVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510345570999695582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636159147473187753.post-42622392557891919042008-11-23T07:34:00.000-08:002008-11-23T07:34:00.000-08:00If anyone expects institutional food fare to be go...If anyone expects institutional food fare to be good they are delusional. Guess what? You could have taken grandma home for the day and repaid her years of feeding the family Thanksgiving feasts with one from you. Then she would have probably been happier and so would you and everyone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
