I stayed here for a week while visiting my mom from out of town. It was wonderful! I would want to stay here myself and even requested to stay again when in town. The people are so amazing. It feels like a family. They care so much. It is also beautifully redone and decorated. I especially loved the food. They took such great care of my mom and went above and beyond for anything we needed. They truly care about their community,

My brother moved into The Meadows Senior Living, and he seems to be doing fine. The place is very nice and clean. We had to furnish the beds and stuff, but that was no problem. The hallways are nice and wide, and they have a nice dining room. When you go in, there's a huge living area that's nice. The staff has been great. They are nice and helpful.

I didn't like the way the Meadows Senior Living added onto the price. It takes nearly $4,000 to $5,000 just to move in there. Every little thing you had to have extra money, and I didn't like that. The staff member during the tour was really nice. I liked her. They had a two-room deal where they had like two bathrooms and you could make two bedrooms or one sitting room, and then there was just a one-bedroom and a bath and that would be it. It didn't even have a kitchen in it. They supply you food. Yo…

The Meadows Senior Living wasn't what I wanted. I wanted a low-income apartment. I need a regular apartment or a tiny house. The rent is $600 a month, which I can't afford anymore. In January, when their rent goes up, it's going to be $700 and something, and I'm going to be on the street. The tour was very nice. I enjoyed it. The people were very sweet. The rooms were small. That wasn't what I was looking for. If I was looking for something like that, that would have been perfect, especiall…

The Meadows was the only other place we actually toured. It's an older facility, and they advertise themselves as affordable senior living. They don't have as many amenities. It's a smaller community with fewer residents. The residents were sitting. Some of them were playing dominoes and cards. They were laughing and joking. However, they don't have everything that I would like to have. For instance, they only have basic cable TV, which is not a big deal. They don't have good internet servi…
