What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

    CMS has fined this facility across 2 penalty action(s).

Our read on Meadowood Nursing Center

Meadowood runs 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, but that edge thins out on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 6% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 44.9%, essentially the national rate, so the crew is not unusually stable. The trouble is the inspection record: 64 deficiencies, including six at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with $91,067 in fines and a January 2026 inspection that earned one star out of five. Quality measures score five stars, but those are largely self-reported, and corporate ownership gives no reason to expect the pattern to change.
