I highly recommend Meadowbrook Village skilled nursing. The facility and grounds are beautiful. I was there for one month after breaking my femur. I can’t say enough about the nursing staff. They are so attentive and kind. All my needs were met with a smile. My therapists were the best and worked me hard to get me back home. The food was delicious also. I was happy to go home but sad because I was treated like a queen. If you or a loved one needs skilled nursing for short or long term. This is the place. It is a hidden gem!

Very caring staff and beautiful facility. Highly recommend the skilled nursing and rehabilitation division for great care. Responsive to individuals needs and willing to work with family to help through the rehabilitation process. The food was quite good and varied so it was not institutional style. We highly recommend Meadowbrook.

I have been to about 30 local assistant living facilities and this one looks the best, has amazing involved staff members, and has so many different programs for what level of needs one has. This is a Christian centered facility. I would highly suggest anyone from my own family to use this facility if the need comes up. The office staff is incredible, too.

My sister and I could finally take a breath. My mom had broke her hip she was sent here for physical therapy. I had never had any experience with nursing homes but my sister had. When we got here we were both impressed with,not only how clean it was but the friendliness of the staff. I am one that will have questions (ALOT OF them) . They didn't hesitate with answering them. They gave me schedules and menus and everything I ask for with a smile. We are very pleased with MEADOWBROOK. Excellent place. So far😁 thank you so much to the volunteers, Dr's, nurses and t everyone. You are all very much appreciated 🩷🩷
