We are very pleased with the care our parents receive at The Meadows. There are a lot of activities for them to take part throughout the week. The staff is very caring, friendly and helpful. Peace of mind is what we have for our parents since they have moved there!

I visited this facility

The nursing home in Norfolk was a very friendly place. Every time I or my family visited my grandma, we were very pleased with how clean the building was. The staff was always happy and helpful to get my grandmother out of the room and in the family room. They always helped my grandma walk from place to place and were very nice and polite to her and my family. On my grandmother's birthday, we decided to throw a little party for her.

I have a relative that resides here....and he loves it. It is quiet but with lots of 'kick'!! What he really loves about it is the Quietness. Great interactions with other residents and staff also. He constantly exclaims about the food, quite a compliment, believe me!!!
