Meadows Assisted Living I

I wanted to take a moment to give a special shout-out to The Meadows ALF in Mt. Clemens. Lijo, Barb, and Jen do an amazing job ensuring their residents receive exceptional care. They have a dedicated team of caregivers who are readily available to assist residents 24/7. The Meadows offers home-cooked meals, private and semi-private rooms, on site physician/nurse practitioner services, skilled HomeCare services nursing, therapy, pharmacy services, and medication assistance. The building is also very secure, with staff managing all entries and exits. The building itself is bright, comfortable, and truly feels like home, with an additional beautiful enclosed patio space that includes a garden and fountain.

The staff was kind enough but this place just looks at it's residents as dollar signs. My Auntie passed away on a Thursday morning. We had paid for her room through the following Wednesday and when we went the Monday before that to clear out her belonging, they had packed her things up and had someone else living there. When I say packed up they had thrown her things into garbage bag breaking things. No one told us they had packed her things up, we found it when we got to her room and someone else was living there. It took them almost an hour just to locate her belongings when we arrived as they were strewn about in different storage rooms. It is unacceptable to touch someone's things that had just passed away. Be aware if you put your loved ones here.

Beautiful facility and top notch care! My Aunt is truly blessed to be here.

The staff keeps the facility very clean. It often appeared that their priorities were cleaning and cooking vs caring for the residents. Unfortunately, the staff often worked solo during the core hours of 730 am - 630 pm. Ideally there should be 2 staff members during these hours so all work could get done. Additionally, there was a very loose shower schedule that wasn’t often followed. If there were 2 staff members during core hours, the shower schedule could easily be followed and residents wouldn’t have to wait and anticipate a shower time. The drug dispersion was also an anxious time of the day for my resident. My resident would take her drugs over a 2 hour period vs all at once, while being watched by staff. Overall, nice facility but needs more staff during core hours so that focus is on resident care.

My mom has been there since February and we feel she is getting very good care. We are happy with the Meadows. They are pretty good letting us know if there is an issue with something. I would recommend this place. The staff and management are very helpful. As my mom's dementia is getting worse they give us lots of suggestions on things that we need to do.
