We put my husband in a home called Meadowbrook Care Center. It's a memory care and a clinical care place. So far, it seems like he's getting excellent care as far as that goes. I talked to the nurses when we left, and they said they would keep an eye on him. He was a little agitated this morning when he woke up because he was in a new place and he didn't know exactly where he was. His sister got over there about 10:00 and she says after she was there for about half an hour, he calmed down. They said he didn't eat that much for breakfast, but for his lunch, he ate it all. The building is probably about 40 years old, but the rehab part where he's in is about two years old. It's very clean and the rooms are very large. He has a small round table, a bed, an armoire, a dresser, and a chair. If he wanted anything else, he could put it in and there's a TV up on the wall. The staff seemed to be quite well, because when we were there, they came in two or three times to check on him, make sure we had enough water, and that he ate his lunch and they took his lunch out after he had finished. It's only been a day, so I hope it keeps going that way. They were very caring and wanted to help and offered anything that we needed and anything that he needed to make him comfortable while he was there. They had egg salad, some potato chips, some tomatoes, and some ambrosia, and he ate all of it, which I was surprised about. I've only gone down two halls. It was very clean, and it didn't have any odors to it or anything like that. The patients that were walking around were well cared for and dressed. Some of them were in wheelchairs, but they were getting around fairly well. I'm hoping that he'll get the care that he needs. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it's about ten miles from the house.

I wish I could have known Meadowbrook was going to be sold to a corporation during a pandemic! The care has went downhill and meetings with management has brought no results!

The worst thing is they're very short-staffed. When we press the call light it takes forever to be answered. The best is the staff that DO work here. They're very kind and caring. But they are sorely overworked! We also have no spiritual guidance whatsoever. We had a wonderful woman who used to go to different rooms to minister to those people who are immobile, but they let her go. 🤬

When our Resident was moved to Meadowbrook she was in poor condition and under Hospice care. Within a year Hospice was no longer needed that was 3 years ago. You need to give the staff a heads up if you want to do something special with a resident you can not show up and expect them to drop everything for your special request. Treat the staff the same way you want your resident to be treated with kindness and patience. If you are a frequent visitor you might want to take a folding chair or 2 to leave in the room for your visits mark the chairs with the residents Name on them and put them out of the way when you leave. If you make a mess with snacks or food clean it up before you leave. We are very Happy with the care our resident is receiving with Covid going on we feel she is in the best of hands. The staff goes above and beyond in their care for her. We are so Thankful for the Caregivers - Cooks - Laundry people and Housekeeping. We also Appreciate the people of faith who visit our resident, prayers are important.

What a horrible experience. 4 days after moving to this facility my mother in law contracted Covid. The staff was very secretive about origins of the Covid, but we discovered by speaking with staff that 3 employees has tested positive. Everything about the care in this facility was below expectations. Leaving a patient to languish in bed all day or, when placed in a chair, left there for 6-8 hours. Call lights would go unanswered for hours. The staff was deceitful about what care was given with one team member often contradicting another as to what basic care had actually been provided. The management staff frequently attempted to convince the patient that they wanted her to stay long term in spite of the fact we announced she would be moving. I would never place another person in the care of this terrible place

I was a resident at Meadowbrook and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever get to go back home to my daughter's home in Georgia but I did. I had a stroke, lung cancer and had just recovered from abdominal surgery. The staff and Therapy team never gave up on me and sure enough they got me home for Christmas. I have been in other Skilled Nursing Facilities and none compared to the kindness and compassion of Meadowbrook.

My cousin moved into Meadowbrook Care Center, and it's an excellent facility. They go above and beyond helping families. They have daily activities, like we just watched a Hugh Jackman movie the other night, and they're always busy. I haven't heard him complain about the food. He's very happy there.

We looked at many nursing homes when finding a new home for my mother. Most nursing homes when you went in during the middle of the day everyone was in bed sleeping this home everybody was awake doing activities and seem to be extremely happy. You can tell that the staff genuinely cares. They went above and beyond to make sure that my mom had everything necessary. This is a very extremely difficult decision for anybody but I highly recommend this place. My mother was in the Alzheimer's dementia care unit or memory care unit as they call it it was wonderful. When my mother begin to actively die they actually put her in a different room so my father was able to stay with her until the end they are amazing. I can't see any other nursing homes doing that especially since the fact that my mom was on Medicaid and was not self-pay I feel a lot of nursing homes treat those patients differently.

My grandmother was treated horribly. She developed a blood clot and kidney infection in their "care". Or lack thereof. She was ignored for hours. We, her family, are witnesses. We have since moved her back to B. North for surgery and will not be returning to this facility for rehab. I wouldn't recommend this place to any of your loved ones.

Meadowbrook was very clean, bright, and on the front of the building they have huge sky lights. When I applied there, they didn't have a vacancy at that time. The staff was nice and gave me a complete walkthrough. She took her time and explained things.

Mom has dementia and is at Meadowbrook Care Center. They make sure she's clean and she eats well. But she's unhappy where she is because she doesn't like it there. She knows she's not that far gone and she knows she's not like the other people, and I think that depresses her. I just wished that there was something in between, a ward where they can be free to roam wherever and for those that haven't quite reached the locked down stage yet but need a little more supervision. But there is not. They moved her for meals out to the atrium where other people were eating. And they tried that three times and every time she tried to escape out the door. They've got all the activities, but my mother is not a social person. She's always been a loner most of her life. But I know they've tried to put her in different things and they try to get her involved..

I toured this facility when my mother needed continuous IV therapy. I dreaded my decision to put her in here from the first day. The IV pole that her pump was on almost fell over every time she had to get up to go to the rest room-it was ancient. The rest room had a sliding door and then you had to exit it to go to the sink on the wall behind it. The shower was down the hall. I knew these things when I allowed her to be transferred there. Wheelchairs with loud patients would be lined up outside her door due to it being directly across from the nurses station. We sometimes couldn't get into the room or out of the room as a result of this. The nursing staff was caring and knowledgable, but only one on the floor was trained in dealing with PICC lines. That was frustrating. My biggest suggestion, research as much as you can before putting a loved one in a facility and know you can change your mind and move them elsewhere. I would not use this facility again.

After looking for a while to find a good home for my mother we were able to find one in Meadow Brook. The nursing and help staff are very knowledgeable and kind and you can tell that that enjoy there work. They strive to keep a very clean and healthy environment for everyone that is there and they also work to give provide as normal a living standard as people are used to. Even when we make surprise visits we do not have to worry about mistreatment of any kind. The best times are over the holiday, they have a big meal and party for the residents and family, its not the same as being at home but they do there best to try and make as such. We had my mother in three nursing facility's before this one and all had major problems but once we moved her to Meadow Brook everything changed. We are very satisfied with Meadow Brook and would recommend it to anyone with loved ones in need of some place to call home.
