What this means for your family

Meadowview is highly regarded for its active administrative leadership and effective rehabilitation therapy, making it a strong candidate for those needing recovery services. However, because a few families have noted delays in call-button response times, we recommend asking the administration during your tour how they monitor and prioritize staff response times for non-emergency requests.

Meadowview has a concerning history with families filing complaints that led to findings of abuse/neglect reporting failures and administration issues, though these were reportedly corrected. The facility shows recurring problems with care planning, safety hazards, medication management, and infection control across multiple surveys. While all deficiencies have correction dates, the pattern of repeat issues in fundamental care areas suggests ongoing quality challenges families should carefully evaluate.
