Family friendly environment!

They were wonderful and walked me through every step. Everything seems clean and smells fresh. The staff is very friendly and greets me every time I come in with a smile. I feel like my family member is being taken care of well. Could use a few more staff members. My opinion. Meals always look good. Always have some activities going on from Bingo to bands. I feel the price is high. But sure they have a big over head so have to charge a lot .

I could never in good consciousness recommend this facility to anyone even my worst enemy.

They lie, and don't follow thru. They'll make deals to pay less to get you to take your love ones there and if they know things are getting bad at home they bombard you with phone calls. But they don't carry thru with their financial deals, charge you more and never seem to refund the money no matter how many pple you talk to. And when your spouse is known to walk away from home day or night you sure as he'll don't give him the keys to the lock down facility. Staff wouldn't relay important messages to your love one from yourself. He was constantly told he was ready to go back home but that wasn't the goal. When therapy was no longer being cover by insur. Bc insur felt it was no longer needed they continued therapy and told the therapists to send the bill to us. No one there understood parkinsons or how to treat the person having it. The staff didn't know how to give my husband his meds. They constantly listened to my husband with LBD on how to give him his meds though he was known to overdose himself with his meds. He was constantly being over dosed or under dosed. Until the new nurse threatened loss of staff's job. A schedule for his meds was never devised until I finally got angry threatened to pull him out and wrote a schedule out for the staff. BTW the nurse was wonderful, new and trying to right the wrongs of previous administration and hadn't been working there until shortly before my husband was admitted. Family were the ones to discover his meds were wrong or not being given correctly bc they would see physical and mental changes in my husband when they'd visited him or see wrong doses administered or given too close together and then tell me or I would notice And start asking questions. Or husband would tell or demonstrate the problems like he had keys and could unlock the doors but staff never informed me. It wasn't just the treatment given, but the overcharging of thousands and thousands of dollars every month. I mean like ten thousand too much each month. Should be added to my statement.

Great experience

Our Dad is no longer there. We moved him to California where we live. However great experience there and wonderful staff at Country Meadows. I would recommend. The only reason I gave it a 4 is it's a locked unit. Depending on what you're looking for a locked unit can feel confining. However if you have someone you're concerned about with wandering or you are concerned about protecting the elderly from certain visitors then the locked facility is great and I would say a 5. When we were there they had a RN on staff which was extremely helpful and professional

Our Experience

My loved one is a resident at Country Meadow Place. There is no follow through by the upper staff. The nurse, [name removed], was excellent and followed through with everything she said she would do. The others never gave me a new correct contract and they are still over changing the amount that they said they would charge and I don't see where the initial over payment was paid back. I will be pulling my loved one out of the facility.

Not recommended

If I could rate this facility at a zero, I would. I overheard the staff making fun of one of the residents. The food, well I witnessed them feeding the staff and then they ran out of food and all of the residents weren't even fed yet. So, would I recommend this place? Absolutely not! My suggestion for others is to not take any valuables. Mom's wedding ring is missing, as well as cash out of dad's wallet.

Review for Country Meadow Place Assisted Living and Memory Care Community

It's all good but, they should tell what all you need for the room before moving love one in. We picked this community because of the memory care unit.

Country Meadow Place review

We are very happy at Country Meadows Place community. Our loved one enjoys being there. I feel like they are just sitting around a lot but he is happy so that is all that matters to us . Best place for him. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

The staff are very friendly at Country Meadow Place Assisted Living and Memory Care and they love my mom. For the most part, the facility is clean. They are short staffed, so she isn't always bathed. As far as the meals, she says that they are delicious. I would recommend this facility to family and friends. The cost of it is high compared to other facilities in the area, but she needs the Memory Care. It seems she pays more for her room than the care.

Not a good experience

There is lack of care, and the attitude of the people that work there is what makes it terrible. The food is horrible. They need someone who knows how to cook, and supply better food options.

No way

When my family was hospitalized because I had to explain to the staff to send my family to the ER because their nurse wasn’t available! ( I am a nurse and this lady treats her job as a vacation! ) the hospital assessed and said “ she is coming from country meadow place ? We can tell!” Due to covid it was hard to move anywhere else . Our other family ( yes my other family died ) won’t move now because they feel they need to be there to watch their friends . Because no one takes care of the clients ! When you bring up complaints the manager acts like a car salesman ! Oh and he has no training in healthcare. Ask when everyone has had Alzheimer’s training and watch their face Iowa law says you need it within a year of employment! And don’t even bother asking about the meds they are giving your family they have no clue what they are . My family got am meds at 1pm Iowa law is two hour window before and after scheduled time . Please reconsider elsewhere !

Dangerous

Do not put family here! I had to beg to have the nurse get an order for a urinalysis. ( my family member had such a severe UTI it went septic The staff make tik toks in the halls or rooms with their masks sitting on their chin or off. One med manager told my family the med he was taking for a - fib meant he needed fiber.

Poor Management of the Facility

Some of the staff were fine. But when you talked to the management about issues, they said all of the right things yet nothing ever changed. The nurse would call me after my loved one's monthly health assessments, and during my last phone conversation with the nurse, she didn't give any indication that anything was wrong. But then mid-month, my loved one had an issue serious enough that she ended up in the hospital. No one ever called her or our family to check on her once she was admitted to the hospital. So we moved her directly from the hospital to a different community.

Unhappy

I would think twice about going here or placing your parent here if you want medications administered. Also, some staff is condescending. Question everything you are told and have it documented.

Review of Country Meadow Place

Staff and management are fantastic! They were very knowledgeable. They are well educated in dealing with memory care and are kind. Their facility is clean and well-maintained. The best part is they care for their residence from assisted-living all the way to their last day is on hospice and beyond. Highly impressed!
