Meadowlake provides care for a family member. We had a few problems with clothing now coming back from laundry but I needed to mark in the neck of shirt so all is well now.

Aaliyah Goolsby is a CNA she told me she closed herself in a room with a resident that had been rude to her & twisted their wrists back. Be careful who you hire. I have also escalated my concerns to nursing board.

The staff are so friendly and helpful. They have made this entire process a pleasant experience for my brother and myself.

Meadowlake Estates is an amazing place. The staff has provided a caring and attentive environment for my sister in law who has been there for almost a year now. We live out of state and rely heavily on them to coordinate doctor appointments , transportation and solve day to day living challenges with ease and compassion. In particular, Casey Neering, Admissions Coordinator and Erika Hancock, Social Service Assistant and Transports have been outstanding partners in helping us achieve our goals in providing the best care in a responsive and caring home/family environment. The best of the best!❤️

Some workers like, Selena, Cephus, PT, & others, I would give 4.5 stars, others -1 to a 2. The facility itself doesn't follow diabetic, allergy, or gastric issues diets, doesn't roll patients regularly to prevent sores. I saw more than 1x while there, especially if couldn't talk, afraid to ask, ignored, memory, or mobility issues. Unacceptable! This is brought loved one to the facility in 1st place from elsewhere. They don't answer their phones in a timely manner, avg 20-30 hold. I had to give my family insulin for every meal and bedtime as facility/doc wanted to do a slide scale of 0-2 units when 25-35 units were necessary meal doses and I gave it to my loved one after they left the room or just before the meal as endocrinologist instructed, 75-100 units more per day . Staff was amazed how good patient's sugar was managed & thought it was them. Wow. They fired a worker for calling an ambulance without permission Others knew hours earlier was blood in folley & notified NO ONE. The employee (which I notified) was fired for calling instead of ones who ignored. I was told they needed to contact doctor, wait, may be the next day even & they would run own test which would be sent out then wait for results. Patient had a UTI which they were currently undergoing treatment for ALREADY and had been SEPTIC, thus, already in weakened condition. This is NOT the immediate care staffs fault but the greedy CEOs who want low staff to high patient ratio, low overhead, & more daily charges. The hands-on-workers need doubled, CEO'S pay drastically reduced as they don't deserve it, & on duty, physically present, qualified doctor 24/7 with stat lab available. No one knew about all the products my loved one NEEDED SPECIFICALLY for their ostomy let alone how to use them. I supplied, did changes, & most emptying. They even refused ordering products for unique needs. Correct products (added $15ea x) save mess, money, time (45 min with clean-up bed, clothing, and re-do) Staff were clueless of what most these supplies were let alone how to use them, so I had to do if I wanted it done right and stay longer, 2-5 days, vs 6-18 hours. I now take 100% care after the ambulance & that current hospital stay. I do wound, ostomy, suprapubic, diabetes, partial paralysis, baths, and meds, as I experimented and adapted process to fit their needs. From Amazon, I purchase necessary equipment that PT didn't provide or even had info on and/or denied by insurance. Unfortunately many people can't do this, or worse, just won't. I will say it is cheaper than an extra month or two in the skilled nursing where you pay out of pocket or go into debt. Since I have been taking care of my loved one & taking to better qualified specialty doctors denied by SNF & they won't listen to reasoning by previous doctors or caregivers instructions; my husband has completely healed. Plus I get way more sleep and don't have to live at the facility or go 4x a day to visit, nor bring appropriate food. My blood pressure down as stress reduced. Patient had almost a dozen visits and stays in various facilities in 3 years. This one was best SNF but Last 1.5ys, ZERO, minus his surgery for broken hardware but came straight home afterwards. Yes, I refused home care for many of the same reasons as SNF for what company has a secured contract vs need. God's grace & me doing diligent care is only reason they are alive. Over the course of time, the facility did improve it's menu but still no real substitutes with yet omits. If CEOs would leave same people on same shift with same patients, (as most there a min of 2 wks) staff could learn patients unique needs & give higher quality care. Low staff = meds given by CEO standards not opt times according to RX label , nor additional vitamins labs shows deficient as no time from low # of staff. FAMILY STAY THERE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! 4.5 stars a few staff 1 other hands-on staff PT staff 4.5 PT time/activities/equipment 1 Doc 1 CEOs -5
