"My mother is now in the nursing home of the Meadows of Karlstad. She had to go from the hospital to acute care in the nursing home. And then on Thursday, she will be moving into her actual apartment at the Meadows. We visited there. She liked the atmosphere. She liked her apartment. It was very welcoming, she felt at home there. Also, her original hometown is up north, close to that place. So she felt that would be where she would probably see most of her old friends, and we have family members living up there as well. So that was probably the biggest reason why she chose that. We haven't had that very much experience with the staff, but so far they've been very, very good, very helpful. The facility is very nice. There's a little courtyard just as you come in, there are a couple of tables out there, there's some lawn chairs. My mother wanted to have a view of the parking lot so she could see what was going on. Otherwise, it's a view of the field outside. It's kind of on the edge of town."

"Lifecare Greenbush Manor has been good. The staff seems very caring and helpful. They communicated well. Mom's room is a typical nursing home room. The dining area looks nice and she likes the food. They have bingo and different groups that come in to perform and sing. I think they had a party around St Patrick's Day, too. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The people are very nice. It's just very pricey."

"I am friends with one of the residents and have visited only her " apartment" in the building. The rooms were very small, and the apartment consisted of just one 10x10 bed room, a small tight fitting bathroom, and an average sized kitchen/living/dining room. She said that a she like a majority of the neighbors, but complained that some residents smoke in the no-smoking facility, which is dangerous due to other residents using oxygen. The hallways of the building were very nicely kept, and each room has its own sliding door to get outside. Residents alo have access to a large book and movie collection which is Located in a neatly organized shelf in the hallway. Also, their parking is quite adequate, and have a very large yard on which the building is located on. Very nice home located in a very small, friendly town. "
