Meadowood Senior Living

As an employee of Meadowood Senior Living, I can say that Meadowood is someplace special. There is a feeling of community that is unique to Meadowood. Employees feel appreciated by the residents, and we appreciate them. Surrounded by beautiful grounds and friendly people, great food and a focus on fitness, it doesn't get any better!

My wife and I moved into a lovely separate cottage on this beautiful tree lined campus two years ago . The home is wonderful , the grounds are lovely and the staff is very responsive . We were very lucky to have had the opportunity to watch life at Meadowood since my mother lived here very happily for 11 years . This is the best decision we have made for a very active retirement.

BARB AND I ENTERED MEADOWOOD 15 YEARS AGO. THERE ARE 2 THINGS THAT WE ALWAYS RECALL WHEN ASKED IF WE ARE SATISFIED WITH THE COMMUNITY. FIRST OF ALL, MAKING FRIENDS WAS NOT AN IMPORTANT REASON TO COME HERE - BUT RESIDENTS HAVE BECOME OUR BEST FRIENDS EVER! ALWAYS WONDERED IF ALL THE ANSWERS TO OUR QUESTIONS WOULD TURN OUT TO BE TRUE - ABSOLUTELY NO SURPRISES IN 15 YEARS, AND THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE LIVING AND THE OVERALL BENEFITS AT MEADOWOOD EXCEEDS OUR EXPECTATIONS AT THE TIME WE MOVED HERE. THIS IS CLEARLY 'THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE' FOR SENIORS.

Best decision we ever made was to come to Meadowood. We had lived in Mt Airy in Philadelphia for 40 years in a big old (built in 1935) stone house. Friends had recently moved to Meadowood and they invited us several times to visit, have dinner, meet some residents and they urged us to move to a new (at the time 2006) carriage home only a couple were left. We signed on. The architecture of the house was terrific compact yet not cramped; added an office during construction and watched house being built while we started the packing up and moving out routine. Also started process of selling house ---which luckily went rapidly. Our timing was perfect! Move in was smooth tho' many boxes in garage for weeks until we could get to them and fold the contents into appropriate spaces and into our new lives. We rented space in a nearby storage facility for overflow and vowed to have it emptied within a year. It was. Today we have been here almost 25 years. We never thought we would enjoy living in a retirement community so much. Neighbors and other residents are great, now considered close friends ...something about being in the same boat ! We have had a few medical problems which Meadowood has handled with us and we are totally satisfied with the expert professional support. The dining and food service is top notch and more than we could expect, and the 'grounds guys' do the hard stuff while we do some planting in the spring as we always have. Housekeeping staff are professional and considerate. Couldn't ask for more. Monthly fee is pretty stiff but reasonable when you think of what you are getting, particularly if you have signed up for life care, which we wholeheartedly recommend. Come to Meadowood
