Assisted Living at The Meadowlands

My parents are extremely happy there.

Assisted Living at The Meadowlands was an older facility so it did not have that homey feeling to it. I felt like I would have been putting my mom into an institution rather than assisted living and I knew it would not be a good fit for her.

This community has been great for my loved one and I have told a lot of friends and family about this community. A lot of people do not know about this community and I like telling them due to all the great things that have happen for us. My loved one is not the easiest to work with and they take care of him on a great level. They have activities like crafts, singing, movies and more for the residents to do and my loved one is actually involved which makes us feel good. I think it may get overlooked due to it not being new and flashy but it has bigger rooms and the care is definitely worth it and less expensive than other communities.

[name removed] and [name removed] two sons whose parents live at The Meadowlands; they were trying to convince their parents for five years before finding The Meadowlands. they are happy to see their parents doing so well. according to their parents, the residents are friendly, the care staff is great and so is the food!

The administrative staff talks a lot but doesn't follow through with promises made, we were disappointed with them. Communication also could have been improved, we never got to speak to the doctor while our loved one was here. Some of the employees were great some were not so good.

I would recommend Assisted Living at The Meadowlands.

I would encourage you to not take your loved one here. They didn't clean the bathroom or room my loved one was there. They didn't give my loved one showers or change them. The room looked nice during the tour. I spoke to Melanie, and told her about my concerns. She said things would be taken care of. These concerns weren't taken care of. I ended up moving my loved one out of the community due to my disappointments. I feel this place needs to be closed down. The only good thing about the community was the food. However, the staff never interacted with my loved one.

They got in over their heads and did not provide the proper care for my father. He had bed sores and they did not report them and he was sent to the hospital. They have a hard time keeping staff and the staff that they do have aren't trained properly. It is a very beautiful community and the people are friendly, but it all comes back to being short staffed and not being able to provide adequate care.

[name removed] was wonderufl-kind, professional, and very helpful. The staff that helped my dad while here were a blessing and wonderful. God provides.

Overall, the staff has been absolutely fantastic. They're great people, and they cater to my loved and myself very well. It's been a hard transition for me, and they recommended a support group, which has been golden to me. From the director to the people who do the cleaning, they all you know your name and call you by name. They really go out of their way to make sure they know you and your loved one. I'm very pleased. It was a good choice.

The assisted living side seemed nice. The memory care side...the floor was sticky and there was an extreme scent of urine. Overwhelming...unpleasant. For me, I just couldn't. Looked like the residents were happy.

Communication between the staff and the family does not exist. The promises that were made did not happen. They didn't follow the care instructions given by our Dr. And the food options listed were not available. I would not recommend this community to others.

What we really liked about this community was how nice the staff members were, and how clean it was kept. The food was good, for the most part our loved one liked it. The rooms were nice, and we would recommend this community.

Horrible management, unfriendly,not enough staff

Not enough staff . Always short of help . Friendly staff and helpful. Not enough activities. Food is ok . Administration is terrible. Witness how she talks to her employees. A lot of staff and management left and found new jobs. Really sad ! Used to be a nice place but not anymore.

I have been looking for sometime for a good place for my mother. I have an Aunt there and I can only visit with her on Fridays and Weekends. I was very happy to see the Catholic Priest there saying Mass and then later working in the Activities along with the Friday party time. Never saw a Priest with so much energy. Meals were OK and that staff really worked hard at meal time trying to get things out for the residents, even with them being short of help. However I saw a lot of negative things there. Staff on their cell phones all the time, not really caring about the residents. One time my wife and I came in to see our Aunt in the evenings and there was NO Nursing available. We were told they were outside on smoke break. This is not acceptable. I asked one nurse where could I find assistance for my aunt and she said, she did not know and had NO time for me. She was very rude. They should fire her, I know since I own a business I should would. I could go on but I will not. I have told my Cousins what has happened and they are looking for a new caring facility. I am trying to find out the company who owns them and write them directly, but as all big companies are they would not do anything about it other than raise the rent which they have 3 times on my Aunt. This company is only looking for the money and not the care. I would not put my dog here. If it was me......I WOULD STAY AWAY from the Meadowlands.

I like that this community is caring. The community staff are outstanding with a healthy meals that are servied. They do offer her activities and I like that the staff try and assist her with the small acitivites. I recommend this community for excellent care and a good value to other families.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

The staff is very helpful at Assisted Living at The Meadowlands. They offer an activities calendar so she knows what going on. They offer a happy hour with live music. She thinks the food states okay and they accommodate her preferences. We chose to move my Aunt here because she was alone and wanted more interaction, she seems to be much happier.
