Meadow Lakes Senior Living

I’ve toured several senior living center over the past 5 years. Trying to get my parents to move to a facility. My dad passed away in February so mom had to go some place safe, some place she’d be taken care of 24/7. Meadow Lakes always stood out as number one choice. We moved her there in March. Yes a big adjustment. They say it takes 3 or more months to get used to AL. It only took 2 weeks for mom. Her apartment is adorable. New carpet (every move in gets new carpet). Apartment setting. I’d move there! She loves the staff. She’s well taken care of 24/7 as she has a fob for help/any kind of assistance. She is not charged for using the fob. She gets her hair done every Monday. Her apartment is cleaned every week, laundry done once a week. Bedding changed once a week. Food looks awesome to me. She’s so/so on the food but keep in mind, she eats very little. Mom enjoys the music in the dining room. She’s not big on activities but they have plenty of activities. Staff is wonderful! Residents become family. I am not worried 24/7 if she’s ok as I know she is well taken care of. I’d look no further than Meadow Lakes!!!

My brother is at Meadow Lakes. He likes it very well and he's very pleased. He's been very well taken care of and the nursing care has been excellent. The staff has been very helpful, as far as I can tell. He's been very happy with them. He really enjoys living there and likes the people there. He also likes the food. He's very happy with it. For activities, I know he's been at bingo and, as he said, they have something going on all the time. I don't know if he was able to go to all of them because he has a lot of problems with his leg, but with what he has done, I think he's enjoyed it. I don't think everything is open yet because of the COVID. It's a very nice area. The surroundings are very peaceful and quiet.

I am moving my parents next week to Meadow Lakes Senior Living. We chose this community because my mom wanted to be closer to me; it's in the town where I live. It's a great layout. It's more of an apartment type setting than it is. Where they all live right now, it's all kind of one room. They've got little hallways, seems like an apartment more than it does, it's just a little area for them to live in. The community is so nice. It's kinda on the outside of town. It's more of a country setting, so they really like it. I met the staff and they were very helpful, kind, and considerate. The rooms were neat and clean. I just met them today, they all seemed very helpful.

My parents moved into Meadow Lakes Senior Living. It's very well kept. The staff is very accommodating and very friendly. I like the atmosphere and the smallness of it. They have quite a few activities like Bingo, puzzles, movie nights, and they hold church there. The dining area is very nicely laid out and very inviting. The food is good. The layout of the facility is good, but the room size is a little bit small.

We visited Meadow Lakes for my wife. I thought the staff was very good. I thought they were very committed to their residents. They have a very accommodating administration. They were willing to work with me as far as placement. It was a good place. The rooms were not large -- at least the ones we looked at -- but they met our needs at that time, and as I said, the staff was very accommodating; they were willing to work with us to get placement, which I thought was wonderful. Their dining area was more than adequate. I didn't eat there, but the food appeared to be good. It looked like good portion and good quality from what I could see. Ten years from now, maybe I'll look at that, but now, no.

Meadow Lakes would have been my number one pick out of the three places that I visited. It was a little larger than the one in Eyota -- too bad I wasn’t quite happy with it. However, they had a lot more activities for people and they employed outside help for their assisted living residents. Their main concern was their residents. Depending on what you need, you could contact the outside agency too, but it sounded like it would be the last resort. Even if they needed hospice care, the hospice care would come directly to them. The staff was great. They seemed to know everybody’s names. The rooms were awesome and large, almost like a small home. There was a separate bedroom and the kitchen and dining area was open. However, you could separate them if you so choose. Everything there looked great. The menu looks very nutritious with quite a bit of variety. The residents were eating the day that I went there and everyone seemed to really enjoy a sense of camaraderie as well as the food. They would take them out on buses to go fishing if they wanted. They had singing, Bingo, Wii, movie days and lots of activities. I would highly recommend this facility.
