Traditions Management

My dad had been in another facility prior to moving to Meadow Brook. We had had a negative experience with the first facility and were looking for someplace where he would receive excellent care and feel comfortable. Our first impressions of Meadow Brook were fabulous and they lived up to them. My dad went into their Memory Care Unit in late August. At that time there were only 7 other residents on the unit. As the number of residents has increased so has the number of staff. The staff is friendly and caring, always calling my dad by name. The unit is brand new and has gone thru a number of learning curves, but all my concerns or questions have been handled professionally. I no longer worry about my dad when I am traveling as I know he is being well cared for. Thank you Meadow Brook!

Amazing place. Beautiful and welcoming. I had the chance to meet several of the staff and was blown away with how nice and eager they are to help with anything and everything. We had lunch there the day we toured. It was fantastic. Truly restaurant quality with service to match the menu. While this type of care is expensive, you can see that cost is put right into the care for residents and maintenance of the building and grounds. During my visit I saw residents playing cards and others doing some type of structured activity led by the "fun director". What an amazing title. While our needs have changed we would have loved to have my mother stay there.

Just what I was looking for my Mother.

Colin was very informative about Solana and the services they offer. It is a beautiful facility and it appears that they have a knowledgeable staff that work with residents. I think my mother-in-law would be happy at this gorgeous place.

Larry was extremely knowledgeable about senior citizens with demintia. He was very professional and comprehensive about Meadow Brook. I left with a thorough understanding of services offered. It was a great meeting. The facility was gorgeous.

We toured this location when we were looking into senior living options for a loved one. We toured another Emeritus facility as well, and we thought they were both beautiful and extremely well run. However, and it may have just been the day we visited, the residents here didn't seem as welcoming as the other community. But otherwise everything here seemed very nice!

Getting in after hours would depend upon who would answer the buzzer, and could be a considerable amount to have someone answer the door. The food was nutritious, and they did have a good variety. The people I dealt with were very helpful, in helping me understand in laymans terms how things would be, and being patient and giving me time to do the research.

I feel like I am giving my wife of 65+ years the best possible place to live with great care by staff and lots of people her age to provide companionship when I'm not with her. I can spend unlimited time with her, and even overnight if I desire.

They've done a great job here, I'd give them 5s across the board. The most important thing is that they've made Mom feel welcome, and part of the community. She really feels like this place is her home. It's a beautiful facility, and the staff have all been very friendly and helpful. They've got plenty of activities, and the food seems good as well. They offer a balanced diet, but they do have different selections available for picky eaters.

My dad needed assisted living and after taking a tour of Emeritus At Lakeview I knew it was the place. It was so nice I would like to live there. The staff are friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and clean smelling.

Fourth place I visited. Liked the one-floor plan and the enclosed patios. The residents were quite friendly and lively. Met one dog along the way. The rooms were very nice. All amenities I'd think Dad would like. Residents and staff were very friendly. Christine encouraged me to bring Dad in so he could see, eat, and talk with residents. Again, I like the age-in-place philosophy. Trips to Akron for doctor seemed doable. Information for getting VA assistance was available.

My mother-in-law is there. We moved her into the Emeritus because it was cheaper than some of the other communities that we looked at. The facilities are beautiful and the staff are very friendly. The cost is very expensive there, and I thought they would supply her with her Depends but, while they do have Depends available, it's an extra $85 per month. It's not included in her rent.

FIRST CHOICE...Unfurnished Studio unit at $2495 available now; $500 deposit; cable included/24-7 nursing;laundry and housekeeping incl.;PT available 3x/week; buddy system upon move-in with an emphasis on socialization and activities. Will work with other Emeritus properties. Color scheme and personal photographs welcome.

Nice place. Director was helpful and very nice. Large, clean, odorless but not what my mother would feel comfortable in.

Toured the facility, very nice. Dad is considering this and other options at current facility.

Was really interested in this place.

My mother-in-law has been at Traditions for approximately three months. The direct care givers are always courteous and kind toward the patients. They often are sitting watching residents from a distance during the activities. They are quite busy near mealtime, gathering residents, getting them situated, plating food, etc., etc. I am confident that she is receiving the best care possible and am glad to have selected Traditions as her new residence.

Pluses- friendly staff; nice, clean, inviting facility (a place I'm happy to go to 3-4 times/week; they let you host parties there in several different areas for free; they seem to work on problems that need to be fixed; my parents love the quiet outdoor environment with trees & and a river on one side and a lake on the other, mom loves to watch the sun set over the lake; they host fun parties for residents- summer BBQ, Christmas, Mother's & Father's Day luncheons; they bring in live musicians Minuses- staff turnover, especially in MC; communication issues with staff & families; making sure my dad in MC is getting what we're paying for-have to stay on top of them (dad can't tell me) Overall very happy. When asked, mom said no to moving. Dad comes down to her apt to visit from MC but she also has space from him & she has made friends & gotten involved in activities.

I am amazed at how dedicated the staff is at their jobs that take care of us. I am grateful for how they do that with such kindness.

I was amazed when I first came here it was seamless to move here. This place is very homey. The maintenance team put up bars in my bathroom to make me feel more safe. I have a screened in porch and love it here. The location is great with so many things around as well. I like that I feel like I live in a house but it is easier to maintain. I am very pleased with traditions.
