I can't say enough good things about the Meadows. They have great staff, it's clean and comfortable, and the food is good. My parents lived here over a year and loved it.

Before my dad moved to the area to be closer to me, we toured five or six different assisted living facilities. He chose The Meadows without hesitation. He loved that it was family owned and operated (he'd been living in a corporate run facility in N. California).<br><br>During his two years there he grew to love the staff like family. You could tell that every single one of them cared about the residents and doing their job well.<br><br>As dad's health declined they were so great about working with us, allowing us to bring in some extra help so we could keep him there as long as possible. He cried buckets of tears when the time came to move him to skilled nursing where he passed away two days later.

The Meadows in Bentonville provided excellent care for my aunt for five years. She especially loved the events, games, and field trips. The staff were always supportive and kind. It was a wonderful experience for her and I will be forever thankful for their overwhelming kindness and support.
