Traditions Management

Brookdale Zanesville is a LOVELY place. Tell you what, I wouldn't mind living there! It gives a good first impression, and it's even better once you start looking around. And it's more affordable than some of the other places in town. I am thrilled that my 91 year old mother can live here.

My sister was alone and in great need of people, a social life, and help in caring for her own needs. Brookdale Mount Vernon was a perfect answer for her. Now she is happy, can have help in caring for herself and is under the watchful eyes of the care-givers at this wonderful facility. My thanks to all who work there.... they are wonderful. Highly recommended to those who truly care. ---

My mom developed sundowners since moving into Traditions. The staff are doing a wonderful job with her since moving in. There were a few bumps in the road but the staff have been great about working with us to correct the minor issues. The food is good and they are trying to get her to participate in activities during the day. I would recommend this community.

I am very pleased. Mom seems very well adjusted. She always likes to make me feel bad but everyone else tells me she is fine. I would recommend Park Place to others.

We have found Rosewalk Commons to be the right place for mom. The staff and fellow residents have been very friendly and helpful. Everyone welcomed her and made her feel like a part of the community.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. We ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

The extra kindnesses shown to Mom at Park Place are greatly appreciated. Not only does she receive excellent care, but a gentle knock on her door to remind her of activities, she's given the latitude to breakfast in her room on occasion (in her robe and pj's) with her own cup of tea and a piece of toast. The activities Mom participates in are numerous; she is encouraged but never coerced to participate. We especially appreciate the dignity and friendliness she is shown by all the staff, the dining room helpers, the medicine administration, and the attending doctors who attend to her every need regardless of the time of day. The entire family has come to know Park Place as extended family and are treated with respect as we visit, attend functions, and dine with Mom.

Our Dad is one of the original assisted living residents at our Meadow Brook. The experience has be exceptional. When Dad moved in, he was rebounding from a near-death experience. The attention that he has received at Meadow Brook has been amazing. The nurses and attendants are great. The Physical Therapy has been great. He enjoys the other tenants. There are activities to keep him busy. The food has been exceptional. We are very, very happy with our Meadow Brook. Terry McKenzie

My dad had very good and personable care. Rosewalk was a very clean and efficient facility. From the day we moved my dad in until the day he passed away the staff treated him with the greatest respect. I highly recommend Rosewalk for your loved one.

Meadow Brook is a very friendly place. My father is safe and loved. The staff knows my father's name and greets him every time they see him. Front office and desk staff is great! Supportive and friendly The food is amazing! Excellent variety and the quality is way above what I would expect at a retirement home. After opening the dining room was not staffed well enough but they have corrected that and service is very good now. Monthly special dinners are very nice. Families are invited and the dinners are exceptional. The rooms are spacious and very nice. The public areas are very well decorated and kept clean. My only issue with the facility is that the wellness director does not return calls and is not friendly. When a medical issue comes up with my father, I don't hear from the nurse or the wellness director. Takes many calls to get to the bottom of the issue. The facility is not full so the wellness director also acts as a nurse so in her defense she is doing two jobs but Meadow Brook does need to figure this out. Great place and would move my father in again.

Overall things have gone very well at Meadow Brook Senior Living! Everyone we've worked with has been very friendly, and very helpful! The facility itself is beautiful, and they keep everything looking clean and well kept. My only complaint is that sometimes the care feels a bit unorganized, possibly due to the facility being so new.

Beautiful but more importantly - caring! My friends mother is a resident at Meadow Brook and the transformation has been amazing! She smiles and interacts with people. She has made friends! They have so many friendly and caring people who work there. It may be a little higher than some places but well worth the piece of mind knowing that your parent is in such good hands. So may activities and the food is good too.

My aunt was a difficult patient. They did their best to please her.

Wonderful community. Very positive all around.Thankful for the guidance of others in finding this place my Mother now happily calls home.

From the moment we stepped into the facility, my sister and I, were welcomed by many friendly staff members and noticed many of the staff members involved with the residents. We met with a different person than originally planned, however, all of our questions were answered and the young lady gave us quite a bit of information regarding the facility. Our tour was thorough and we were also offered additional information we could take home and read. It's an overwhelming experience to go through when you are looking for quality elder care and as someone going in with blinders on, the staff helped open our eyes a little. They were patient, answered any and all questions, courteous and really tried to give us a step by step process of what we could be facing. My sister has been in several times, as I am so far away, and has been pleased with everything as our father is trying to adjust to his new situation. Thanks to all who have helped us through this process!

More like a home setting then an institutional setting. Great warm and comfortable feel to the place I noticed on my first visit when I was shopping for a place for my Dad. The staff is very professional and kind. Now it is all first name basis for him which helps him feel welcomed and well cared for. It is clean and safe which is a big concern when placing a loved one.

Clean and open with plenty for the residents to do and be involved. Festive for all the holidays. I have personally had dinner with Mom a few times and it was very good. They are also trying to get more help because the young went back to college to get their degrees.

Staff was mostly great, some seemed less engaged with their jobs. Activities Coordinator was amazing in the memory case unit. Room was adequate size and no cleanliness issues in the room. Mostly everyone were concerned about the well being of my mom and to time with her. The negatives, smell in the memory care unit was unpleasant relative to other facilities. The food and kitchen area was dirty and constantly un-kept.

The nurses are great, and the facility is excellent. The food is just okay, not so good. The location is great. The only bad thing is the assistants who actually provide some of the hands-on care. Some are not well trained, are always in a hurry, and do not spend much time with the patients. I mentioned this in a meeting with the staff. Bathing, dressing, and listening to patients’ needs are areas that need a lot of improvement. The location is convenient, and I guess I would use them again. One good question to ask when considering assisted living is whether you are mobile and can dress and bathe yourself. If so, this is an excellent place. If you need additional assistance, which they charge extra for, the experience may be different.

Assisted living apartment were very nice. It was clean and spacious. Memory care facility smelled of urine. The room we were shown was a good size though. People throughout the facility were friendly. We were taken to the "movie/theater " room first to meet with the marketing person. I wish he would have stood or sat in front of us rather then behind us. In general facility was nice. I wish there was a vegetarian option for meals - my parents do not always like to have meat. Also would have liked to see a better selection of activities for higher functioning residents such as speakers or educational talks.
