August 16, 2023We are so happy to read such a great review about Southern Meadows! We would be happy to speak to you about how physician orders are processed at your earliest convenience. If there's anything further we can do for you, we are happy to help.
No community can meet every need of every resident, but my experience is Southern Meadows provides compassion along with personal and medical care that is second to none. I have lived in other communities and toured many. It is the personal touch which 'raises the bar' here. Any community is only as good as the staff and ours is the best! I feel safe, protected and loved.

August 16, 2023Hi Bonnie, thank you so much for your positive comments about Southern Meadows! We love what we do, and we are so happy you found your joy here!
I have lived here about 5.5 months. My daughter checked out several facilities between Harrison and Marshall. I told her "I don't know how you decided on this facility, but I don't think you could have found a better one. The employees are amazing. They do anything to help. I tell them they spoil me and they say "that is what we are here for".

August 16, 2023Benita, thanks for your praise and kind comments about our team. Serving our residents is our passion, and we are so happy you have found your joy here!
[name removed], the sales coordinator was fantastic to work with. She was knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and really cares about the residents. [name removed], the activities director is also great with the residents and has several fun and different things for the residents. I don't have specifics on the food, I'm just going by comments that my Mom has said. Several times she mentioned that the meat was burnt or so over cooked she couldn't eat it. I have not seen this myself though.

I lived in another community and came to this one. I feel more at home. Everyone cares for me and is very friendly. It feels like family. The staff does not hesitate to help with any needs. The other residents are friendly. The food is delicious! There are so many activities to participate in. If you are nervous, this is the place to be to feel safe and well taken care of.

June 7, 2023Hi Betty, thank you so much for your positive comments about Southern Meadows!
Wonderful, friendly staff. Nice accommodations. Try to meet all of my needs. Residents are friendly and happy.
We are very pleased, with the check-in process. Everyone has been kind and professional.
We have enjoyed everything. Good lunch. Thank You, and [name removed] is the best. She helped my mom to feel very comfortable.
I do not like this type of care. It is like being in a hotel room. There are times that it can take the staff a half hour to appear after pressing the call button. There are times that the community doesn't have enough staff to cover the calls in the evenings and overnight. Breakfast is alright, but the rest of the meals aren't to our liking. There are too many carbs offered to the residents. There are activities in the community, but the staff don't come to get the residents. There is a piece of paper that lists all the activities and times, and the resident must remember the time, and this can be a problem for residents.
