I visited this facility

Meadowthorpe Assisted Living & Memory Care's building was beautiful. I talked to one staff, and she was very kind and very helpful. It just was too expensive for Mom to be able to go there. I got to see one of the rooms, and it was very, very nice and large. The building was very clean and neat, too.

The front desk named [name removed] has been very rude for inquiries. Once she knows what you need, she will drop the call. When we called back, she answered but left it hanging. No one was speaking and you can clearly hear it dropped to the table. A very considerate place, indeed.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mom moved to Meadowthorpe Assisted Living & Memory Care. I'm very happy with the community. I like the place very much. It doesn't feel like a nursing home environment. It's very clean, very small, and community-oriented with a lot fewer people, so she's not overstimulated. They don't do a good job keeping up with her meds, but that's because it's not skilled nursing. I would like to see the same people all the time. Unfortunately, it's just not that way and that'…

Peaceful, happy, pretty place to live

5 for all of them. Mom has been happy at Meadowthorpe and they have all been very helpful. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend Meaowthorpe Assisted Living and Memory Care to other families.

Not quite as good as marketing lead one to believe.

Always sounds much better than the reality. Unfortunately. Staff turnover is high. Sometimes activities for residents don't happen. And it is not someone's home, even though remaining at home is not an option at this time. Overall positive though.

Both positive and negative

There was an incident with his medication. Some medication was missing, and they said he had opened the locked door (combination), taken it out, and flushed it. He was unable to open that locked door. The container of medication was too big to flush. Staff members just said they would look into it and move his medicine out of his room to a secure location. This did not happen. When asked, they stated that they were leaving it there to "watch" him. The staff was not aware that he should be "watched.” They did not …
