“As a registered nurse and licensed nursing home administrator, I’m a tough critic of skilled care. So when recent surgery and rehab led me to a stay at The Meadows, I was unsure. My uncertainty was soon replaced with delight. In fact, I’ve never been more pleased with loving care and attention that I received from all levels of the staff at The Meadows. It’s a beautiful and elegant skilled care home that I would return to without any hesitation”
