What this means for your family

However, families considering the nursing care wing (Meadowbrook) should carefully review the pricing structure and recent cost increases, as this is a noted point of contention among current residents.

26 reviews on Google“Clark-Lindsey Village is highly regarded by independent living residents for its welcoming community, responsive staff, and high-quality facilities, particularly the new North building. However, some concerns exist regarding the rising costs of the associated nursing care wing and occasional reports of declining food quality. Prospective families should note that while independent living receives glowing reviews, the facility's overall reputation is balanced by specific complaints about nursing home pricing and isolated reports of staff behavior.”

- 4I see that your team is active in responding to feedback online; how do you incorporate family input into your day-to-day operations to ensure resident satisfaction?
- 5Since the community is known for being very active, what kind of daily social or wellness programs are available specifically for residents in the nursing care wing?

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is incredibly responsive, the facilities and activities are first=rate and the opportunity to interact with other residents who come from backgrounds different from mine is very satisfying.”
“The leadership philosophy is to have a resident led operation which seeks to obtain resident opinions on various matters and seriously consider them for implementation.”
“Very nice place to live with lots of amenities and activities but the food has gone downhill in the last couple of years. The price of the adjacent nursing home Meadowbrook, which is part of Clark Lindsey, is astronomical.”
