The Meadows Senior Living

The Meadows in Elk Grove was very nice. It was a pretty large facility, which intimidated my mom. I'm sure many people in her situation would be fine with that, but she was not. It's a very nice place, but their memory care unit was a large ward. It had probably 20 people, and that intimidated the heck out of mom. The staff was all really nice. They took the time to show my mom all their facilities, and they were very helpful. The rooms seemed fine, but they were rather high priced. Other than that, they were fine. The Meadows had this really nice area with patio tables outside and that part was very impressive. It seemed very clean and up-to-date. When we first got there, we thought that it was the place my mom was going to go, but the place just intimidated her. It was great though, it really is. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The building was beautiful. I wish mom didn't need memory care because it was beautiful. Their dining room looked like a restaurant.

The rooms at The Meadows Senior Living are nice. The assisted living side is good. They have all kinds of activities. The dining area is beautiful. I love it. The people are nice. They have bingo, happy hour at 3:00 once a week, and exercise. They go out on trips like outings and out for lunch. They eat their biggest meal at lunchtime, and then at dinnertime, they eat a light meal, which is good. It is a good atmosphere. It is clean. They have a sitting area and outside area.

The Meadows was OK. They were pretty much the same except they had more activity stuff going on, and they would end up more expensive because they were more of the independent-thing. My dad needs assistance; so that really wouldn’t work out for him.

The Meadows had a good location. It was nice, but it wasn't big, and the rooms were adequate. The staff were helpful. They have a good variety of activities.
