I am/was a resident of this facility

My husband is in independent living in an apartment with me at Peterson Meadows and we get one meal a day. They were very helpful in helping us to move and take care of all the finances and the logistics of moving within two months period of time. They make recommendations to realtors in the area and moving companies and it was very easy. The community itself has beautiful landscaping. It looks like Disneyland without the rides.

Review for Peterson Meadows

I would recommend it. The staff is helpful. Overall, it's a nice place. Safe, activities, nice people. We picked this community, because of the price, atmosphere, size of the unit, and 24 hour staff.

Excellent Community, Staff and Experience. Highly recommend!

From what we've experienced so far, I'd give Peterson Meadows a 5 in all categories. We haven't needed/experienced much related to category 4 as my Mom is under Independent living and doesn't require much concerning quality of care, physically/health/medical. However, I've got a confidence that they earn a 5 in that category as well for those that require more care and/or if my Mom ever does.
