The Meadows at Shannondell

My mother was very happy at Shannondell independent living. So when it came time that she needed assisted living, this was the first place we toured. Left sadly disappointed the rooms were itty bitty - smaller than a hospital room. The communal areas and halls were very dark. It was very institutional. Reminded me of the old fashion nursing homes. The staff were standing around talking with each other and not interacting with the residents. For the same price, we found a much nicer facility.

Disappointed

Need to keep in mind that this overall assisted living/nursing home system has many issues, cost is $$$$ ($[removed]K/month) for the poor to mediocre services provided. This facility is probably is one of the better facilities in the area. However, my father has been in there for 9 months, only one night nurse for three floors, majority of times, resulting in a few times of his wound care and meds missed, run out of basic food items too many times, can't keep aides/short on aides/as well as nursing staff, few time…

Independent Living is Wonderful - Assisted Living Not So Much

Independent living at Shannondell was the perfect place for my mom. So, when she needed a bit more care, transitioning her over to Assisted Living only made sense. Little did we know it would be a completely different experience (we were warned). First off, let me commend the nurses and caregivers who, despite management, do their best to care for their patients. However, they are overworked and understaffed ALWAYS. The management of this facility is completely different than independent living and they are clearly…

Run away from this facility as fast as you can!

Horrible! I will NEVER come here again! Not allowed to leave room due to Covid while you hear staff congregating at desk laughing & socializing. I am Disabled (unable to walk) & an Insulin Dependent Diabetic. Had Shoulder Replacement Surgery. Went for 30 days for help with Personal Hygiene Care, with Mobility, & for PT & OT. I left on day 8. Accepted me into the facility but knew they were unable to provide my prescribed pain meds. Room/bathroom was not cleaned for 4 days. LOST MY INSULIN! Did not properly add…

"Shannonhell"

The patients were not allowed to eat with the other patients. If they were lucky enough to get their physical therapy 5 days a week, that was the only time they would be allowed to get out of their room. It was so sad, the depression on the floor broke my heart. The patients were so bored and lonely. Besides therapy, they didn't have anyone coming the rest of the 23 1/2 hours to get them up walking or even standing. How do you rehab if you don't get out of bed or chairs? I could not believe how much my mother atrop…

Pay attention

You’re loved one needs an advocate while they are here. The staff is very friendly but I’m not comfortable the administration.
