Hudson Meadows is our new home. We have lived here 5 months. I feel very comfortable living in a community where literally everyone is encouraging, supportive, and fun. The staff has an excellent attitude and are always available to assist in helping to make us feel We are welcome here.

I have been at the Meadows in Hudson for more than a year and 1/2. My experience has been, in every way, terrific! My apartment is beautiful, cleaned regularly by competent housekeeping staff in a most satisfactory manner; the programs are varied and imaginatively managed; the meals also are very good and varied. The management and support staff are friendly and responsive to resident requests. This is a delightful place and I wouldn't change a thing or consider another location!

Hudson Meadows is a great place to live. My friends from NJ say I have added years to my life by living in a stress free environment. No worries about house maintenance and replacing things around the house. All I have to do at HM is my laundry. I don't have to cook since all my meals are provided. My apartment is cleaned weekly and they even change the bed sheets. All the employees are top notch and can't do enough for you. Activities galore. Anything from exercise and balance classes to Horse Races and Bingo.You can always find residents playing Bridge, Euchere, Poker and Rummikub. There is always a movie shown twice daily in our gorgeous theatre. Did I mention Happy Hour twice weekly where the residents can relax, chat and have a glass of wine, beer or soda. I found the perfect home at HM. There is a sense of commaradory amongst the residents and we watch out for each other. New residents are always made to feel Welcome. Kindness overflows at Hudson Meadows. Come find this gem in Hudson. You won't be disappointed.☹️

My Mom was a founding resident and she is so grateful for this place. It is an Independent Living Facility and if you need assistance it must be private. It is still very new and the upkeep is great. Staff is very good but I’d like to see the staff longer lasting. Entertainment is fantastic always keeping her as busy as she wants to be. Residents are friendly and my Mom has many great friends. The number of residents keeps growing, for a reason, and with any growing business they have to expand their staff which is difficult in this economic environment. But I think they are doing better than many other facilities. Food is great and I eat with my Mom all the time (on my Mom’s dime-thanks Mom!). In my opinion, this is the best facility in the area. I love that my Mom is so happy and thriving here. Thanks so much, Hudson Meadows staff!

We have recently started our search for a community to care for my mother. After touring local sites, we have discovered "The Hudson Meadows" is by far the best Retirement Community we can imagine. The site design is overflowing with outstanding features, gracefully combined in thoughtful architecture. There is a grand dining area with large windows to bring in the sunshine, diverse freshly prepared meal selection, a beautiful water feature with Koi fish, an actual full size theater, pool table, poker/game room, comfortable & casual lounge room with snacks and refreshments, large well outfitted exercise room, planned on site bank, a gaming arcade, a hair salon, large library, 2- Fire Safety gathering areas with fire doors on each of the 3 floors, available garages for resident use, fully outfitted kitchen and a bonus we found exclusively at The Hudson Meadows- a washer and dryer in every apartment. Along with the superior building we enjoyed meeting with the professional management care team and staff. Of course there are medical and non-medical service teams on site for the resident care. The tours, friendly families living there and awareness of the lifestyle possible for my mother at The Hudson Meadows made my wife ask if we could sell our home, retire and move there too. Nothing short of amazing.
