The Views

So happy mom is here. Caring and knowledgeable staff.

I have a grandma at Meadowview. She tells me all the time how good the food is and how she loves dance time. It brings back the times when she was young. But grandma can still shake a leg when the music stars. Her body is getting old but her soul is still 16.

My grandmother-in-law is living at Meadowview. The place is always clean and never smells. I've seen everyone pitching in and picking up after residents. I am proud to tell people that my grandmother-in-law stays there.

I have a grandmother staying at the Village, we call it. Small town life with cute building to match. Bingo in the White Steple Church. And movies on the big screen. TV in the middle of the Village. Ice cream at the soda shop, and the tenants love to roam from shop to shop.

My boyfriend's grandmother is a resident at Meadowview. I was so impressed when I said the hometown setting and the large clean rooms that residents stay in. The staff was always around checking on everyone. I sure hope when I need a care village that my loved ones bring me here.

My mother has been in two other care centers and this is the one. I couldn't be happier with the staff. They made my mother's transition from one care center to another easy. Guiding me through the process with patience and kindness. They are 10 plus in my book.

My favorite thing the staff at Meadowview does is calling me about my mother care and updating her progress. It gives me peace of mine the she is in sought good care. Thank you Meadowview.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at MeadowView for a year. The concern I had was the food. I was supporter surprised to see that the food is excellent. I have tried it myself, enjoying every bit. Complament to the chief.

Husband is doing great here. Wonderful staff. Always letting me know what is going on with John. Participates in activities. They are tops!

The employees seem to really care about the residents. Very well taken care of community.

This is a one of a kind memory care option. Like the previous review states, it has a town through the center of the building that allows the tenants freedom to go anywhere in the secure building while providing visual cues. Very different than the average AL memory care. The review that mentioned understaffing confused me. Having worked in this industry for 14 years, I know the average staffing ratio in assisted living and nursing home is one nurse and two CNA's per 20 people. Then on 3rd shift most assisted livings go down to 1 CNA for the building. Meadowview employs 2 nurses, 4 CNA's and 1 bath aide round the clock (minus 2 on 3rd when folks are sleeping). With 56 tenants that averages 1 per 8 people. Not including the Director of nursing, Assistant director of nursing, food servers, housekeeping, maintenance, laundry and management staff. In addition they have 2 FT and 1 part-time activity director providing activities for the active tenants from 9:30[removed] 7 days per week. I would challenge anyone to beat that! Overall, they are providing a much needed service and according to their last 5 years of deficiency free state surveys, they are doing it well.

My dad was struggling at home and I had to get him help but didn't want to put him in a nursing home. He walks, talks and lots if other things in his own but wasn't eating right, taking his medications or showering. I was referred to Meadowview by a church friend. When I toured I was amazed that a place like that existed. There is a town inside the building! Not sterile at all, tons of activities all day, clean, friendly. The person that toured me knew every residents name. The program was logical for someone like my dad. I was impressed.

So far we're pretty happy. We're still working out some aspects of the care, but we've experienced good service and concern from the staff. They have activities, although not always ones our family member is interested in. I think the facility is pretty neat. They recently fixed up the soda fountain and have renovated multiple areas, including the front of the building, and they put new tile and paint in the entryway. They're also working on updating the garden area.

Love the building, very clean & bright. Rooms are good sized with lots of starage. There are a great variety of activities for men and women. Staff very cheerful & helpful.

I stopped at this community on accident. I was looking for the memory care building next door. This is their assisted living. Although my Dad need memory care so I ended up going to their other building, It was very nice. The people were friendly and there were lots of residents in the dining room. They looked happy.

When I toured assisted livings for my parents I assumed I was in for a difficult task. I am glad the staff at Ridgeview proved me wrong. Pricing was easy to understand. Price for a one bedroom already includes meals, housekeeping, laundry, activities, lifeline, transportation and all utilities. Was $3680 mth. Medical was extra but easy to understand too. 3 levels- $400, $500 or $600. No buy in fee. Much easier to understand than expected.

The Views of Cedar Rapids setting is very purposefully established for memory care. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great activities during work week - these are all things we like best about the community

My loved one is a resident at The Views of Cedar Rapids and the overall experience has been good. The activities are wonderful and the staff are very nice and care about the residents. However, the meals should be more balanced. Overall, it's a good place to live.

Meadowview has been great to work with. We are aware of a lot of staff transitions and are pleased with the excitement of the new people. They are truly working to make our experience better and appreciate out input. The transition has been tough but the staff has been very helpful.

I am consulted when there is a decision to be made regarding my mother's health. As power of attorney, I handle her finances and health decisions. However, I live in Arizona and not present during the day to day events. But I do hear from the staff on regular basis, as well as talking with my mother. The staff is very attentive to my mother's needs and will often bring her lunch or dinner to her room, if she is unable to come to the dinning room.
