History

In 1983 Wynell Suitt became involved in providing nursing home care to residents in Galveston County at Coastal Pines Care Center in Hitchcock, Texas.  A small sixty-bed facility that was approximately fifteen thousand square feet offering no room for expansion.

In 1995 Wynell had a dream that she shared with her spouse Terry, her brother, Stan Steele and his wife Carol of building a modern nursing home that would be resident, staff and family friendly in both design and services provided.  After several attempts (Wynell does not understand the word NO) with what is presently known as the Texas Department of Aging and Disabilities Services a Special Commissioner Waiver was obtained due to lack of quality care being provided to residents in Galveston County.

Stan's role is business development securing funding for the dream to become a reality. Wynell's role is in the daily operations of the facility.  Without the support of our spouses and children and Terry and Wynell's grandchildren the dream would not have came true and their support has been and continues to be phenomenal.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were faced with a very difficult business decision; to walk away from Bayou Pines discharging all the residents to other facilities and terminating over 100 employees, or finding a place to relocate.  We made the decision to relocate incurring substantial personal debt due to our commitment to providing health care in Galveston County to our residents and employment to our employees .

In January 2004, after completely renovating, we relocated to Ashton Parke Care Center. We will continue to own and operate Ashton Parke Care Center.

After many set backs we are proud to reopen an updated Bayou Pines Care Center to continue to provide quaility health care to residents and employment in Galveston County for years to come.
