The Meadows

I have prior experience from working and visiting other nursing homes and assisted living facilities. I've never worked for The Meadows, but I visited the facility several times while my grandmother recovered there from open heart surgery for almost 2 months. The facility is the best available anywhere! The building doesn't even appear to be a nursing home or assisted living facility, which is important to our elderly loved ones who want to keep some of their independence (or younger loved ones who absolutely despise being placed in a facility and not able to recover at home). When you enter the building, there's no smell of urine or feces, which is present in every other facility I've visited. It has a fresh, flowery odor and not like a bad odor cover-up. The staff, from the janitorial staff to the administration, is awesome! I have a very picky grandmother and they did everything possible to make her happy and comfortable, such as providing her favorite foods for meals and allowing her to do things on her own while they watched over her (instead of doing everything for her). They are very accommodating and knowledgeable. They explain everything to you so that you understand everything that will occur. I never felt like I had to hang around or sneak up on them to make sure they were doing their job and taking care of my grandmother. It's a great atmosphere that provides exceptional southern hospitality. On top of all that, my grandmother recovered much faster at this facility than expected. The staff consists of Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, and everything else available for a safe, speedy rehabilitation. If I had to be placed in an assisted living facility, I would definitely choose The Meadows of Fulton, MS.
