"My sister is a temporary resident there. While visiting with her she told me that most of the staff is very nice and after being in my sister’s room for 3 hours I must say that I agree with my sisters opinion. My sister is in there due to several broken ribs, a bad back and she also has RA. She is confined to a wheelchair. She can be difficult to please at times due to the tremendous pain she lives with and now with broken ribs I can’t imagine the pain she endures everyday. Her sons purchased a recliner for her to help relieve the pressure on her ribs, from sitting slouched over in a wheelchair 18 hours a day, but was told she wasn’t allowed to have the chair there. She cried and cried as the recliner had given her ribs so much relief. I’m extremely disappointed that this facility whose purpose is to help people heal would take this away from her. It was a new leather/ not fabric chair, also in her condition, she could never get out of the chair herself without help. I understand that each facility is bound by rules and regulations, but my goodness that chair was a life saver to her and was told that it had to go. How would y’all feel if this were your elderly mother in pain? Or better yet how would y’all feel if this was you living in constant daily pain and the only thing that gave you relief was taken away from you? This chair, in my opinion was a MUST for her healing. THINK ABOUT IT!!"

"I visited my sister, Barb Brend, for awhile today! She seemed to be more Satisfied today! I am hoping she will Adjust a little more each day! She said the Nurses have all been very good, which made me feel good! It seems the first few days were not good! So am hoping everyday gets better! Thank you, Jan Carr"

"Friendly place! Enjoyed speaking with the staff and residents. We had a beautiful celebration of the Eucharist! I look forward to doing this again!"

"I visited my brother for his birthday today. It’s the best I’ve seen him in awhile. He had came from therapy and had a shower. We visited and did a video chat with our sister. We went to eat lunch in the dining room. Then he was wist away to some Dr. Appointment. Everyone was very friendly, so different from when I come on weekends."

"I'm currently a rehab resident. I came to The Meadows knowing them only by their previous reputation. I was worried and concerned this could be a nightmare. I soon learned The Meadows is under new leadership and I'm impressed how the new administrator who came in, has taken hold and making major improvements to what can only be explained as challenging. He has an open door policy, visits with residents, asks for input on any concerns residents have. The food had been less than tolerable before, now the food tastes good. If you have food issues those are noted for residents by the chef. Staff issues have been taken care of and are still top priority when it comes to their residents. The Meadows wants each residents room to be considered "their" home with the same considerations as knocking on the door and wait until asked to come in. If no reply then come back later given no emergency needs immediate attention. I'm not a permanent resident here at the Meadows and if things continue to improve as they have already, I would consider full time resident if and when the need should arise. I'm looking forward to continued change."
