These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 90% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 21 findings, above the ND average of 5.4. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
The Meadows on University receives polarized feedback, with some families praising the physical therapy team and friendly staff, while others report critical failures in basic care and communication. Several reviewers highlight significant inconsistencies in service quality, specifically noting that care levels appear to drop significantly on weekends compared to weekdays. Potential families should be aware of serious concerns regarding understaffing and responsiveness to resident needs.

Key Review Excerpts
“My dad was there six hours and I had to go back and get him out of there. He waited for two hours to have someone get him to the bathroom. He was not given any of his meds and he was left off his oxygen.”
“Within 2 days of staying here he was found unresponsive and was taken to the hospital in the middle of the night and this facility NEVER told our family.”
“Everyone was very friendly, so different from when I come on weekends.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
