There’s literally no one working there… so many people have had accidents in their bed because there’s no one to help them use the bathroom. People mad lazy too and it takes forever when you press the button for workers to come there’s only 2 good workers there. Also yall realize most of these good reviews are like 1-3 yrs ago right?? It’s changed💔

I arrived at The Meadows on 2-3-25. I an being discharged tomorrow, 2-28-25. My stay here was beyond exceptional. Every single department was there for me. P.T.,O.T.,nursing staff,housekeeping, management, all departments. Everyone was there for me and my needs. There is not one negative thing I can say about The Meadows. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in a facility for long term care or even just for physical therapy. Thank you all so much!

I had brought my pretty well able bodied father here for some extra rehab to get stronger. Within 2 days of staying here he was found unresponsive and was taken to the hospital in the middle of the night and this facility NEVER told our family. We found test results popping up on our phones so we called the hospital and found him there. They never called us even until the next day. We had called them all through the night and they wouldn't answer or when they would, they said they would call back with answers and never did. When I walked in I found them huddled and giggling amongst themselves at the nurse's desk. It's a horrible place. Never bring your loved one to this facility if you care about their well being. You can tell they don't have the compassion and care for their patients or their families.

This has been a nice place for rehab. The staff has been very nice. My physical therapist, Tiffany, Shayla , along with the other staff here, is very professional and kind-hearted.

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
