What this means for your family

Meadow Brook offers a dedicated, compassionate staff and an excellent rehabilitation program, making it a strong contender for recovery needs. However, families should be aware of the high-density rooming (three residents per room) and are encouraged to visit during off-hours to observe staff responsiveness to call lights.

Key Review Excerpts

The amount of compassion not only for my dad, but his family was beyond any of our expectations, and you impacted every one of us positively.

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

The physical therapist at Meadowbrook is fantastic. He took his time and explained what he needed from me. Was kind and very helpful.

Rehab patient · 2026★★★★★

The aids ignore the patients, call lights go unanswered for hours. One resident kept yelling for someone to help her. Food is delivered to them cold instead of warm or hot.
