Review of Spring Meadows Summit

My loved one was at Spring Meadows Summit for about 6 months and we had to move out because they felt that they could not provide the care that he was needing. I was not super impressed with our experience here.

I would recommend Brandywine

We chose this facility because it seemed to be the best, they did just recently get bought out and they are Brandywine. They are refurbishing everything and Brandywine is definitely a good company. I would recommend to others looking.

Great Facitlilty...

I am very happy with the care my parent is given here. Most of the aides are there for you...As in any situation, you have to be on top of things but for the most part all is well. My parent does have a hard time with vision and I wish the staff would help with their meal choices because lunches and dinners are always the same.

Spring Meadow has gone down hill under present leadership

The facility as consistently gone down hill over the past several years. They are severely understaffed and the leadership team is bad. The head nurse has the job of covering up mistakes and is rumored to drink. The GM hides in her office and does not engage families, for fear of hearing complaints. What’s saved this facility are the private sides that most residents hire to get adequate care. The Corp people really have to take a look at this [removed].”, and change up the leadership for professional , caring and competent individuals.

Everything is going fine!!

i have no complaints of how things are going for my mother since she made the move into this community. The staff have all been wonderful to work with and I am comfortable with the quality of care she has been receiving. I like the open floor plan as well as many of the great amenities they have provided for the residents. Overall it has been a great place for my mom and I would recommend it to anyone interested,

Not A Caring Staff

We did not have a good experience in this community. I would not recommend this community to anybody. The staff was not nice, and did not do a good job caring for my loved one, and her needs. It was a disappointing experience overall.

Had To Come Back To The Facility

They are wonderful and we used them 8 years ago for my dad. It is a small community but they still had caregivers from 8 years ago. The nurse had helped me greatly and they go over and beyond to get him back to the way he was. They influence activities rather than sitting in their rooms. The staff know us and can always tell us where he is at when visiting. Within 2 weeks they contacted me and told me that he does not need the level of care we are paying for. The cost was cut down in half and they have been working with us. I would recommend my friends to them.

To Dark for us!

I really enjoyed the tour at this community. The people and the residents were super friendly and helpful on the tour. All of the staff tried so hard to make things work for us. The reason we did not go forward was that the building was dark and small. The people just weren't active.

Great home for loved one!

The Spring Meadows Summit is a very nice community. It is really well kept and clean throughout. My loved one is enjoying the transition to the Spring Meadows. We are very satisfied with the care that the staff have been providing to my loved one. I would like to see the staff keep more of a watchful eye to medical care. When funds run out they do not guarantee a bed for our loved one.

A Great Community With Great Staff

I really like living at this community. It is always clean and smells so fresh. The food is properly cooked, meat is actually real! The staff are all wonderful and do what they are supposed to do. In one scenario, I had to get surgery and was directed not to move around, and the staff brought my food with no attitude and waited on me foot-and-hand. I even got balloons and a visit from the manager while in the hospital. I also like that there is always 2 RN's and the director of nursing is available if needed. The owner seems to know what she is doing and I do not get the feeling she is cutting corners. I would recommend this community!

Safe and Friendly Environment

My parent has not been a resident for very long at Spring Meadows Summit but so far, the staff has been friendly and attentive to all request made of them. Over all the residence is clean but it is time to replace the hall carpets since it is looking rather worn out. Housekeeping is responsive to any concerns and keeps the public areas of the facility very clean. So far there are many activities, indoors as well as field trips to keep the seniors busy and the activity coordinator tries to encourage everyone to participate in an activity. It may be expensive to live there but it certainly gives one peace of mind that their loved one is residing in a safe and friendly environment and where assistance is just a call button away.

Friendly, helpful staff!

Our experience with Spring Meadows has been a very good one! The director really does a fantastic job, and personally involves herself in all sorts of jobs throughout the facility. She really makes the place gel! She and the sales manager did a a great job helping us through the whole process. The aide staff is friendly and hardworking, and they take great care of the residents. Our loved one is happy, and has settled in well!
