I found Meadow Brook Senior Living for my brother, and he moved in a couple of weeks ago. My brother was only going to be there for a few months, and most of the places have what's called a community fee. And since he wasn't going to be there for years, they agreed to waive that community fee, which was like $3000. So that was a lot. And that's what I appreciated, that they were able to do that for us. The staff was very nice, very caring. I've gone there to visit my brother several times and the residents there are always very friendly and mingling with the staff. If I have to call about a question or I can text, they respond very quickly. He likes the food there. They do have a schedule of activities, with COVID, things are a little shut down a little bit, but they do have a movie theater there, so they have a movie every day. They have church services on the weekend, in different denominations. They haven't done it because of COVID, they usually do outdoor activities or travel, but they haven't done that yet, so they do have activities. Game night, they do have a social hour every night from four to five. They have a refrigerator with a freezer. They do have a microwave. They do have a washer and dryer in there, and all the showers have a built-in seating assistant when you're taking a shower. They do have a little bit of cupboard space and countertop space. They also offer free Wi-Fi and cable included in your package.

We prefer Meadow Brook Senior Living. We chose it because of the amenities that they had and the condition of the facility. They have a lot of fellowship-type things that my sister would like. They had a library, a book club, and cards. It was just a very nice, friendly place. The staff was very friendly and informative. The facility was very clean. I was just very impressed. It was very nice. The closet space could be better.

What I like about Meadow Brook Senior Living, first of all, is the community relations director, she's the person who interfaces with the public as they come in and with the family. The main reason I wanted that facility is that she was so helpful to me in explaining the process of getting somebody into a nursing home and what were the requirements. Also, they can stay in the facility and transition to Medicaid after two years of self-pay. There are a lot of other good things about the place. It was nice to look at. It looked comfortable and friendly. And it's not far away from where I live. The units are one bedroom with an attached bathroom. And, for a greater amount, you can get a larger room that has a little room for a sitting area. If you pay for smaller rooms, they're just about small enough for a twin bed, a chair, and a desk, and they're pretty small. The staff who toured me was so excellent both in interacting with me about my particular situation, which was a little bit complicated since my sister was living overseas, and in telling me what the steps were that I needed to achieve before I could get her admitted and encouraging me and telling me about this Medicaid option. Just this very personable person that I liked. I wanted to work with her.

Meadow Brook Senior Living was nice. The atmosphere and the overall layout of the place were nice. I liked the director. She took so much time with me and helped me through a lot of things granted the cost is prohibitive at this point. The staff has very much given all the information I needed and was just very courteous and took the time to walk me through everything. I like the one-on-one care and it just seemed to be top-notch. They had a workout room and a salon. They had pretty much everything.

My grandfather spent a month and a half here before he died. His POA didn't move him in time, and Meadow Brook didn't contact his successor POAs even though it was a matter of life or death. During his time at Meadow Brook, he went from walking and pushing other people in wheelchairs to being in a wheelchair himself--more than likely due to the Meadow Brook's near-complete lack of memory care activities, its emphasis on apartment-style living that increases isolation, and its use of benzodiazepines/pharmacological restraint in general (something I questioned in particular that they refused to respond to unlike other facilities I asked). As my dad put it from what he saw multiple times in the memory care wing’s (beautiful) day room: “They were all zombies who couldn’t even hold their heads up.” My grandfather fell 12 times (that we know of) in his month and a half at Meadow Brook. He developed acute encephalopathy, a subdural hematoma, at least one UTI and was sent to a psychiatric hospital to get his “meds figured out." Please don't send your loved one to this facility for memory care. It’s a beautiful place, but looks can be deceiving.

We visited Meadow Brook Senior Living. It was very nice, but it was just too far for us. They have very similar facilities to the other place we toured. The staff that gave us the tour was the community director or sales manager, and she was fairly new. They had washers and dryers in the units.

I thought that the staff at Meadow Brook Senior Living was very nice. The director of the facility was great. There just seemed to be a turnover in that facility. Also, I didn't meet the nursing staff and they didn't have 24-hour nursing care in the evening. They only had a QMA, which would not let my mom qualify for her long-term health insurance (and that was a big thing for me).

Meadow Brook Senior Living was a very positive place. I visited three facilities altogether, and that was probably the nicest of the three. I saw a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment that was 480 square feet. The floor plan was very nice. It had a large bathroom and the fact that you can take your own furniture makes it much more special for the individual that would be residing there. Clay did a very excellent job. He was very personable, took me on a tour of the entire facility, and showed me the actual memory care section as well (in case that would be needed down the road). The dining area was also quite nice and well laid out. I was impressed with the fact that when the diners come in at noon, they have the main suggested dinner on a tray so that they can come in and see what it's like, and then they can make that choice or they can go through the menu and choose whatever they would like. He also showed me the movie room where they play movies. There was a group that was playing some kind of a game while I was there. Yesterday was quite a nice day, around 70 degrees, so there were a few residents that were outside walking.

I did a tour of Meadow Brook Senior Living. I would describe it as a friendly place. It seemed like people were hanging around in their walkers, waiting to see who came in the door to say hi. The staff was great, I loved Clay, he gave me a great tour. I asked a bunch of questions, and he had all the answers. He showed me all of the different areas and introduced me to the people who worked there. It's a possibility for me. The apartment that I would want is very small, and I'm not sure I can scale down enough to go, but I'm still keeping them alive. Clay got me a to-go meal, and I liked it. He also showed me the menu, and I was very pleased. I rate it a four only because I like spicy food, and it was chili that wasn't really spicy, but I can fix things like that. The dining room is very nice, not a whole lot of tables, but they have a smaller population. It was very clean. There was a salon and a craft room. There was a happy hour in the afternoon with activities. They have music once a week. They had an activity that included food, and then he showed a video during happy hour that talked about that food, and the people who had had experience cooking it shared, then there were the goodies that they cooked; I thought it was really well done.

My mom has moved into Meadow Brook Senior Living. I was just there this morning. We chose it because it just had a smaller memory care unit than some of the others that had really large ones. I got lost in there myself, so I thought this one was better. The staff was doing a good job, so far. The place is very clean, very well laid out, and seems like it's very well thought out. I just like the way it was set up. It looks like they have little apartments. The memory care residents do crafts and physical activities every day.

Meadow Brook Senior Living seemed pretty nice. It was more expensive than what I was planning on. My overall experience there was pretty nice and they have a nice dining room. The rooms were smaller than at the other place I toured. Overall, it was good but it just didn't make a really good impression on me. It wasn't as much as I was expecting. My experience with the staff was good. They were nice and they listened to you. The girl who took me around and showed me the apartment was polite, nice, and easy to talk to. Their outdoor stuff wasn't as plentiful; I don't think they have very much on the outside. They had a game room and they had an exercise room. It was okay, but my biggest problem is that it was more pricey than what I expected. The facilities were nice and kept up neat. Everything was nice and clean.

Meadow Brook Senior Living was very clean and very inviting. The common areas were homey. They did a nice job in their decor. The staff was wonderful. I could see even the residents interacting like one man was helping set the plates for dinner or lunch or whatever, he wanted to do it. They were doing some activities when I was there. They were involved. They didn't have kitchens in the units. They had a complete kitchen downstairs, that if the resident wanted to bake cookies or cook, they have total access to a nice kitchen. They had a piano, which my mom's a musician, so she would have made use of that. If my parents were ready for this facility, I would want something on the backside of the building because the front side has that really busy street. If you have your balcony or patio out there, it's loud. They want to be in the back where it's woodsy and quiet. The staff told me that whenever a new resident comes into a room, they put brand new carpet down. You had to have all three meals prepared, so there was no choice, which some people would like, but my parents aren't like that.

Meadow Brook Senior Living is great and fits all the things that we were looking for. The main reason we're not following up on any of this and we're trying to keep my mom to where she is now is because at this community you can't go and visit the residents with the epidemic, so we're trying to keep her out of them as much as possible. Where she is now we can go and visit. They are very easy to work with, very accommodating, and I feel confident having her there. The facility is very clean. Probably the cleanliness, the activities, and the stuff that they offer are just fine. I really like it. Another thing that I like about it too, and that may be most of the communities do this, is that they would go to their rooms and encourage the people. They wouldn't want them eat in their rooms, they encouraged them to go to the dining room. She lives in the independent living right now and everything's independent, no one's trying to help her with activities. Their activities are just basic ones, and most places have these very similar activities. Also we have talked to people that had parents that lived there and they all loved it. The facilities are very, very nice from what I saw, and all reports that I had on the food were very, very good too.

We checked my uncle into Meadow Brook. The staff has gone above and beyond to put the family's concern at ease, and he's doing well in memory care. His room is the perfect size, and they made sure to point out that he has brand-new carpet and everything else was in good condition. They have a small dining area that looks new and bright. They have a fenced-in area that's going to be a great place to go once it warms up.

Meadow Brook was very nice but didn't have the right feel to it. If you do their independent living, they don't have a doctor or nurse on staff that you can call. The apartments are very nice and large. I talked with a gentleman there and who was very nice and did a good job showing me all around. They have a group that plays cards, and every Friday night, a band comes as entertainment. They have a beauty salon, movie theater, and a lot of things to do. The dining area was very nice. It opens right up to the lobby area. It was a very nice place, but it wasn't comfortable to me.

I have had the opportunity to visit and spend time in many different types of senior care communities and there are very few that are as nice and pleasant as Meadow Brook. The activities there are endless and I quite enjoy their "prime rib" Saturdays. It is a very clean community and I always feel welcome when I visit there.

Meadow Brook is about three years old. It's in close proximity to where I live, which is about 10 minutes away. They had a lot of the same advantages as the other place we visited. I just didn't think the physical design of the facility was quite as attractive, but it's very nice. I was more impressed by the staff. They had some relevant people I met, and talked to. They had a full-range of activities both on property, and excursions. The atmosphere was friendly, and caring.
