Meadow Grove Apartments is a senior community found at 4815 Cottage Grove Road in Madison, WI, for people age 55 and older, and the whole place tries to keep things easy and comfortable, letting both men and women live there, and if you've got a small pet like a cat or dog-there are policies on the size-you can bring them as well, which is nice, since pets can make things feel like home. The building offers affordable one and two-bedroom apartment homes with roomy floor plans, ample closet space, and there are full-sized kitchens with a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and range, plus a washer and dryer in every apartment so folks don't have to leave to do laundry, which makes a difference in the wintertime, and every unit also has central air and heat you control yourself, free Wi-Fi, satellite and cable TV hookups, and window coverings, and you get a private patio or deck for some fresh air. The community features underground heated parking and free off-street parking, with spaces available at a cost, and there's easy access to public transit nearby for people who like to get around without a car.
The building keeps things safe and accessible, with an elevator, sitting areas on each floor, community rooms with kitchens for gatherings, a business center for those who need to work from home or just use a computer, and an exercise area to help stay active, plus residents get an intercom entry system and controlled access for peace of mind along with interior locked mailboxes. Meadow Grove Apartments is non-smoking in all indoor spaces, both private and common, which helps keep the air clean for everyone, and there are special features like wheelchair-accessible showers for easier bathing. You'll also find beauty and barber services onsite, so getting a trim isn't a hassle, and there's a calendar of planned social events, community outings, devotional services, and different activities on or offsite, with quiet places to read or visit like the community library or community TV lounge, so residents don't have to feel closed in.
Meals are provided for those who want them, and there are multiple dining choices served in the dining area, with staff who include nurses for support, and with aging-in-place services, folks can stay even as their care needs change, which helps with the worry of moving later on. Meadow Grove offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and some rehabilitation and respite care options, so there are different levels of care depending on what folks need, and they have home care and care home services, too, for those times when more help is necessary. Residents get complimentary transportation for errands or appointments, making it easier for those who don't drive, and apartment locating help is offered for those seeking the right fit or needing a free consultation about senior care and transitions, and many support services even link to Illinois directories for people coming from elsewhere.
Management comes from Meridian Group Inc., who run this facility as well as others in Madison and across Wisconsin, and they specialize in affordable apartments and market rate homes, accepting Section 8 vouchers and some assistance, so it's an option for folks with different budgets. You can visit and meet the staff and neighbors, or take a tour of the facilities after scheduling. Meadow Grove has a real mix of people, friendly neighbors, and a social activity program to help everyone connect, with places to gather inside and outside, gardens, and worship services for those who want them, all in a convenient location in Madison, close to shops and medical care, and all under the watch of a professional maintenance and management team who try to keep things in good shape, so you'll find a safe, practical place to live with the day-to-day things taken care of and space to relax as you like.
