    Sunny caring senior living community

    I moved my mom into a bright end-unit at this newer, small senior living community and couldn't be happier - sunny rooms, wheelchair accessible, nice layout with big living/dining areas and a beautiful Memory Care room. The staff (Mickey, Michelle, Chris and the nursing team) are warm, attentive and responsive; they guided us through a gentle onboarding and have improved her mental and physical health. Plenty of activities (cards, Yahtzee, coffee hour, movie night), a fitness room, great food and a dining/family-event space - residents truly feel like family. Highly recommend - 5/5.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews for The Meadows Senior Living is strongly positive. Reviewers repeatedly emphasize the quality of the staff, the pleasant physical environment, and the rapid positive impact on residents’ well-being. Many families single out the nursing and caregiving teams as exceptional—described as attentive, warm, flexible, and kind—and name specific employees who contributed positively to transitions and ongoing care. The admissions director and nursing leadership are noted as helpful and receptive, which contributes to families feeling supported through the move-in and onboarding process.

    The facility itself receives high marks: it is new, modern, and thoughtfully laid out with large communal spaces (a big living room and dining room) and easy wheelchair accessibility. Multiple reviewers highlighted bright, sunny end-unit rooms and a layout that makes it easy for residents to socialize or access nearby activity spaces. Amenities called out by reviewers include a fitness room, movie nights, a reserveable dining or event room for family gatherings, and a dedicated activity program featuring card games, Yahtzee, and coffee social hours. Memory Care was specifically praised in at least one review as a beautiful, well-run area where families felt grateful for the care provided.

    Dining and daily life are recurring strengths in the reviews. The food is described as delicious, and the dining experience (including an available dining room) is presented as a positive daily ritual. Activities are varied enough to create engagement and help residents feel part of the community; multiple reviewers explicitly said their loved ones are thriving, happier, and more social since moving in. Several family members reported measurable improvements in mental and physical health after the transition, and many used language such as "family-like atmosphere" and "residents feel like family," indicating a strong sense of belonging and community cohesion.

    There are a few consistent caveats to note. The Meadows is a very new facility (under a year old according to reviewers) and houses a relatively small number of residents. While many reviewers framed the small population as a positive (intimate, family-like), others suggested it may limit program variety or that staffing patterns could evolve as the community grows. A couple of reviews hinted at the potential need for more individualized staff time, though this is contrasted by numerous other comments praising staff attentiveness; in short, the community appears to be developing its routines and staffing models as it grows. Finally, several reviews mention the emotional difficulty of transitioning from a home to senior living—this is a natural resident/family concern rather than a criticism of the facility’s operations, and reviewers consistently noted that The Meadows’ staff made those transitions gentler and more successful.

    In summary, The Meadows Senior Living is portrayed by reviewers as a warm, well-run, modern community with standout staff and strong care outcomes. Strengths center on compassionate nursing and caregiving, good food, engaging activities, accessible and bright facilities, and a welcoming, family-like culture. Primary considerations for prospective residents are that the community is new and small—factors that currently contribute to an intimate atmosphere but may also mean some operational aspects are still maturing. Overall, reviewers highly recommend The Meadows, frequently noting that residents thrive there and families are very happy with their decision.

    About The Meadows Senior Living

    The Meadows Senior Living in Savage, Minnesota offers several types of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home services, and you'll find folks here living in studios or one-bedroom suites with private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and basic kitchens that have things like a refrigerator, self-cleaning oven, microwave, and dishwasher, and each unit's got its own washer and dryer, which is pretty handy when you're the sort of person who likes to get your laundry done right when you want it. The place puts a lot of thought into safety with sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, individually controlled heat and air conditioning, and a 24-hour emergency call system, and you'll notice security's a big deal too, especially in the memory care areas like The Bluffs Advanced Memory Care at Hudson, where they've got 24-hour caregivers and a secured setting aimed at looking after folks with moderate to severe dementia, plus the team knows how to support those who have frequent memory or behavior challenges, and they even call their care approach Behavioral Health Integration (BHI).

    Residents here get support from personal care assistants, and they help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting if you need it, and there's also walking or wheelchair assistance, medication help, wound care, and nursing staff, with a licensed RN ready to assess what you might need for care and set up a plan. There's therapy services, podiatry, and even general counseling, and you can stay on a month-to-month lease if you like, which works out for a lot of folks who don't want to get tied down. When you get hungry, the in-house chef prepares continental breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, and there are meals and snacks like afternoon coffee and cookies-they've even got a community dining room if you like to chat with neighbors while you eat. If you're one to keep busy, the place has a game room, activities and fitness center, a movie theater, a library, and a beauty salon that also doubles as a barbershop, and they set up daily social programs, spiritual care, educational and wellness activities, and arts and crafts, so there's always something to do or learn unless you'd rather relax on one of the screened porches or outdoor terraces.
