What this means for your family

This facility has a highly regarded rehabilitation and recreation team, making it a potential candidate for short-term recovery. However, the recurring, serious reports of neglect and hygiene issues on nursing floors are concerning. We strongly recommend unannounced visits during weekends or evenings to observe staffing levels and care quality firsthand before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts

My wife has been in there for 2 1/2 weeks now and I go see her everyday. All the staff from the ladies at the front desk to the nurses, doctors, therapists and the people that run the place are very friendly, kind, considerate and compassionate.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

The nurses are rude and unprofessional, only met one helpful CNA and PTA. Not hygienic, on arrival the room was visibly dirty, and still had personal belongings from previous patient.

Family member · 2022☆☆☆☆

My son has been receiving care at Aristacare at Meadow Springs for the past two years. I visit nearly every day, and most visits start with a warm and sincere greeting from L’tanya, the receptionist at the front desk.
