Let's look at some common questions

What does assisted living mean?

Assisted living means that you enjoy all the amenities that The Meadows has to offer without paying for services that you don't need. You can come and go as you like! Entertain friends and family! Enjoy your retirement without worries--we'll do all the work.

At some time, if your needs change, our payment plan changes with you. This could be a temporary change (for example, if you break a bone and need help while you heal) or permanent change (if you become less independent). We have four levels of care with monthly rates based upon your need for personal assistance, up to bathing assistance and limited nursing care. You don't even have to change rooms. Your apartment at The Meadows is, truly, your home. 
Freedom. You can sell the lawn mower and the vacuum cleaner, because you won’t need them anymore. There is a common misconception regarding assisted living facilities like The Meadows: despite the name, a need for personal assistance is not necessary. We have residents who require no personal assistance at all, they simply enjoy retirement at The Meadows with all the amenities. They entertain friends and family, drive their own cars, and come and go as they please.
Yes. Essentially, you must be able to get out of your apartment and through the hallways' double doors completely unassisted. Residents cannot have any ongoing condition that requires assistance with mobility or skilled nursing This is a state-mandated requirement to help assure your safety.
Certainly! Your friends and family are welcome. If your apartment is not big enough to fit your guests, we have spacious community rooms that you are welcome to use. We even have a private dining room that your family can use for special dinners, birthday parties, or other gatherings. Or, if you'd like to continue hosting a bridge club, Bible study, or other small group, our community rooms are great for that, too.
Absolutely not. You will even have parking near your apartment.
We'd love to have you join us for any activities you'd like, but you are under no obligation. We schedule a variety of activities to encourage residents to move their bodies, challenge their minds, and enjoy time with others.
