What this means for your family

Meadow Valley offers a physically impressive environment that makes a strong first impression during tours. However, because of the serious report regarding hygiene and staff conduct in memory care, we strongly recommend requesting a tour of the actual care units and speaking directly with current residents' families before committing.

Key Review Excerpts

The care in memory care/assisted living is just okay. Our friend was not being dressed each day nor was she getting showers. Staff use patronizing language when talking to elderly residents.

Memory care family member · 2025★★☆☆☆

I took my mom there unexpectedly to look around and make some decisions for her and my dad. Jenn the Sales Director was so caring and helpful. The place is absolutely beautiful and offers great amenities.

Prospective family member · 2026★★★★★

This place is probably the nicest senior living facility I have seen. We recently moved our dad into an apartment and he is really enjoying himself. Good people, good food, and great amenities.
