Misty Meadows Senior Living Center

I toured Misty Meadows Senior Living Center on Devers Road in Metropolis. It's more country-fied, and to me, that tops the other ones. It's nice and has a country atmosphere. When you go in, you think you're going into an old country home. It's clean and has the friendliest people you've ever wanted to meet in your life. They'll take you from one apartment to the other and show you what they've got. The people were just finishing up their meals when we got there, and they were still sitting around talking and visiting. Some of the employees were sitting there talking and visiting with them, too. People work on puzzles and things like that. It has a very friendly atmosphere and a down-home feeling. I would pick this community if I were going to go to one. It was wonderful. I walked in the door, and some of the staff were back in the dining area, which I saw when I went in. They began to wave at me and say hi. The apartment was nice and had little sliding doors with a little patio. The two-bedroom apartment had closets. It's big enough that you could put a little half-size bed in and have another bedroom. You could get into the bathroom with your wheelchair, and I'm a big person, so my wheelchair is also big. I could get that wheelchair through the doors, into the bathroom, in and out of the apartment, and down the halls. The only problem is just the cost.

I toured Misty Meadows Senior Living Center a couple of years ago. I didn't really see anything that I didn't like about it. I liked the whole thing: the beauty shops, the laundry area, and that they cooked the food and served it to them. I liked the dining room and that you had a choice of different apartment sizes that you wanted to. It was really an awesome place. They had their buffet all set up, and the food looked awesome. They also take you if you need to have a doctor's appointment. You can have a birthday out there, where you can pick what food you wanted or do your hair. They're just right there for you. It's not in a busy area. It's kind of out at the edge of town in a nice wooded-like area where people can sit out and enjoy the outdoors.

My aunt is currently living in Misty Meadows Senior Living Center. I've been there several times in the last three years. They don't have enough staff. The food is absolutely terrible. They recently hired a new housekeeper to help clean the rooms, and she's doing a really good job. The cooks are just awful. You just wouldn't believe some of the meals they pass out trying to think black-eyed peas, carrots, coleslaw, and no meat on the plate at all for lunch. It just really is substandard. There's only one other facility in town, and she lived there too. It was worse. She doesn't want to move to another city. The public areas are well taken care of, and the kitchen's clean. They're not letting anybody eat in it anymore because of the virus. They're serving everybody in their rooms. The housekeeping services in the rooms are not very good. They just hired a new housekeeper, and she seems to be doing a good job. It's going to take her a while to get it up to standard. Bingo is the only activity they have. They have some jigsaw puzzles out on a table that you can stop by and work on. They don't have enough staff, but they have a couple of very nice people that work there. They hired a 19-year-old cook to cook for all the residents there.

Misty Meadows was clean, nice, and reasonably priced. The staff was excellent and the people were friendly. I had a couple of meals there, it was very good, with nice selection and variety. My mother in law moved in about a month ago. They do have craft days, and entertainment comes in.
