Meadowview Nursing Center

Meadowview Nursing Center sits as a smaller, for-profit home with 59 certified beds and most days sees about 55 residents around, and you'll find that skilled nursing care is present with nursing staff on hand for 12 to 16 hours and a call system that answers at any hour, so everyone can get the help they need with things like bathing, getting dressed, taking medicine, transferring between bed and chair, and getting through the regular day-to-day stuff, which is important, especially for people who have trouble walking or need help because they can't get around on their own. The Center covers medical care along with therapy, rehabilitation, dementia care, and even hospice care when it's needed, and the staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nurse aides who handle a fair share of the work, putting in about 3.67 nursing hours per resident each day, though that's a little less than the state's average, and nurse turnover sits quite high, a touch over half leaving every year. Folks living here get access to a private room if they want, each one set up with its own bathroom, cable TV, kitchenette, phone, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and high-speed internet, which helps a person stay comfortable and a bit more independent, and the main building also has rooms for art, games, and books along with space to keep fit, enjoy wellness activities, or step outside for planned events on walking paths or relax in the common rooms, or even catch a movie or listen to music with the group. The Center coordinates meals with different diets in mind, prepares and serves all food, and provides full housekeeping, concierge help, furnished rooms, and even plans out daily activities, which gets everyone moving and keeps things interesting most days, though there have been some concerns flagged, like an infection-related deficiency that's out of line with federal rules and a number of inspection deficiencies-nine in recent reports-despite their policies to prevent neglect or theft. Meadowview Nursing Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid; it's run by Bradley Long and Mark Sims, who each own half, and has been under Trinity Management, Inc. since late 2004. The Center carries a 4-star CMS rating, which is higher than both the state and national average. Clinical lab and physical therapy services are in place as well. Overall, Meadowview Nursing Center offers most care and senior living supports you might expect from a small, certified nursing home, though inspection history and staffing challenges are part of the facts to keep in mind.
