Key Review Excerpts
“Meadow Brook care center has assisted me when I could not even sit up in bed without assistance... Now with support and encouragement I can use a walker by myself.”
“The aids ignore the patients, call lights go unanswered for hours. Food is delivered to them cold instead of warm or hot.”
“The shared rooms and restrooms have not been updated as the main halls have... each restroom is shared by up to six residents at a time.”
