I had major surgery and was at The Meadows for 13 weeks last summer. The facility was spotless and my room was very cozy. The ground were beautiful and the food was excellent. Most importantly were the nurses, aides, and physical therapy staff. The were dedicated and always treated me with compassion and respect. They were friendly, knowledgeable and I would highly recommend The Meadows to anyone who needed this type of exceptional care.

My mother has had Alzheimer’s since 2007. She went from independent living in a beautiful apartment with magnificent dining room meals and then added a day program when she needed it. She has been in the memory center for years now. It makes for an easy transition with more support as needed. There’s a healthcare center on site, a doctor, dental services, occupational therapy and even a hairdresser to make staying healthy and happy as easy as possible. The environment is always clean, positive, friendly and helpful. There’s even an outdoor garden in the center of it all My mother has had excellent care (and I’ve experience other places with other relatives that don’t compare). They have always been responsive to any concerns I may have had.

My mother has been there less than a week, strapped to a wheelchair. Left to sit in her own pee because no staff brings her to the bathroom. Hit for not eating food she gets. I wouldn't put my worst enemy there.
