Cottage in the Meadow

Richard Huard

My wife Kimberly was at Cottage in the meadow for three days before she passed on 9/10/2023. She received wonder care from the nurses and staff members. A shout out to Melissa and Donna. They made my wife smile even though she knew she had very little time left. This facility was very helpful when questions needed to be answered. A warm shout to Hailey for a prompt call when Kimberly passed and had her presentable for me to view.

My mother was there for 14 days and I was allowed to stay with my granddaughter. I can’t Thank them all enough for being so kind to mom and us ! Thank you all !!!! Cheri Zaragoza.

My experience here could not have been worse. Words like unsympathetic, uncaring, and heartless come to mind. I was a fool. I trusted them and was hurt terribly. Please go somewhere else if you can.

Medical staff was fantastic. Compassionate, caring, extremely knowledgeable. Social workers were the same. Unfortunately, their house chaplain, Peggy, barged into my mother's room during her 40th hour of agony breathing, started talking to my Jesuit uncle about who went to high school with whom, and when I asked them to take their personal conversation into the hall and respect our sacred space, they refused. I got mad, she asked my uncle (not next of kin) if I was going to get violent, and allowed him to make the decision as to who stayed in the room and who didn't. She allowed him take to away my legal rights and helped him dictate the terms of my mother's death. She blamed my anger on the emotional situation and made me into the crazy person in the room, thereby adding to my distress. In reality, I had every right to be angry, and she had no right to defer to someone who was not next of kin. But she chose to. Her choices caused familial arguing over my mother's dying body. Her choices caused me additional trauma as I was losing my last parent. I will live forever with the memory that this woman stole my 2 last hours with my mother. It felt like a violation of the highest order and it wounded us to the core. She's a chaplain, so I'm sure she'll be immune from consequence, as they always are. But she abused her power. And any potential client should know that she did it and she wasn't the slightest bit sorry. Our family was torn apart by this incident and she determined its outcome by assigning authority to the wrong person--the person she preferred due to personal bias.

My father went to the Cottage in the Meadow for his last days. The facility and staff are warm and welcoming. The staff took great care to ensure my father was comfortable in his last days and our family was supported as we said goodbye.

Cottage in The Meadow was a wonderful facility. I had to put my father there because he had to stay in bed and he wouldn't take his meds. They provided his IVs and his meds, which I couldnt do at home. I have never seen a facility as nice anywhere. They had fresh food, fresh soup homemade every day in a crockpot -- they invited the family to help themselves if they were hungry -- and they had cupboards and snacks. The first day he was so bad that they had a volunteer that sat beside him. When he passed, they gave us time. My sister and I were with him, and they came in and escorted us to the chapel. They even bathed and washed his hair and put his clothes on before he was released to the funeral home. It was the most fantastic experience for that circumstance that I've ever had. We got what we paid for. The memorial foundation that runs the facility was beautiful. It has a guest room, a family room with a piano, a kitchen, a couch and a window seat, and they had handmade napkins given to the patients when they come in. It looked like a home. They had a survivor supper and we received an invitation in the mail. We went and they had presentations and people talking about their experiences about home health and hospice.
