What this means for your family
Meadowood is an excellent choice for independent living, offering a vibrant community and beautiful grounds. However, if you are considering the facility for assisted living or skilled nursing, we strongly recommend asking for a tour of those specific units and speaking directly with families of current residents about staffing ratios and communication protocols.

61 reviews on Google“Meadowood is highly regarded by independent living residents who praise its beautiful campus, active social community, and responsive staff. However, several family members of residents in higher levels of care report significant concerns regarding understaffing, poor communication, and inconsistent care quality. While the facility excels as a retirement community for active seniors, families should be aware of potential challenges when transitioning to assisted or skilled nursing care.”

Key Review Excerpts
“Underneath all that pretty exterior, is poor nursing/support staff.”
“No collaboration between different areas - skilled, personal care and independent. No communication, lack of compassion and down right rude staff.”
“My Mom lived at Meadowood for a little over 3 months, and I can't say enough about the care she received while staying there. From the nursing staff to the dining staff, she was truly loved.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Meadowood has a concerning pattern of recurring fire safety and electrical system deficiencies across multiple surveys, with issues in fire alarm systems, sprinkler maintenance, and electrical wiring appearing in both 2023 and 2025 inspections. The facility also had problems with resident care planning and adequate nutrition in 2023. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated fire safety violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits.
