Review for Meadows Independent Living

Better Price, apartment size was larger, nice staff, nicer looking apartments & grounds, location, and connected to a hospital. I would definitely recommend this place. They have a lot of activities to keep everyone busy. Everyone watches out for each other. Very caring & knowledgeable staff. Very clean facility. I know my Dad is safe & that is the most important thing.

It is a good life at Meadows!

The value of this community for the area is very reasonable, and we can walk through the community to get to the hospital and pharmacy. There is no staff on the weekends but if we have an emergency, we can pull the cord and someone from the hospital will come over. Before COVID there was bingo, bridge, and once a month they would have musical entertainment. Every couple of months they would have a special dinner for the residents. Even now we have an exercise classes for an hour twice a week.
