I have had numerous…read moreloved ones in assisted living homes all around the north side of Indy, Carmel, Westfield, and Fishers. This place is a gem - the kindest, warmest, safest, most delicious food, cleanest, attentive, and beautiful. The staff is off the charts great and they think of everything. My mom is a current resident and is so happy that she often asks if she can stay there forever. This is remarkable as she was begging to leave her last two assisted living homes. I cannot think of a single negative except for maybe driving thru traffic at the Fashion Mall to get there.

The food smelled good and was artfully presented. We had great hopes for this assisted living community based upon what we had seen. However we were told by a sister spectrum community (Enclave @ Saxony) that the Meadowbrook community was not working according to the Spectrum corporate guidelines with respect to special diets. Our worry was that in the event that the current chef left, we would be left Spectrum corporate view on special diets which is not acceptable for us. (See our review on the Enclave at Saxony) This community gets four stars for their focus on meeting their customers needs. Should they be required to move to the Spectrum corporate policy I would change this to one star. Investigate your choices very carefully.

When my grandfather arrived at the memory care wing of Meadow Brook, the staff updated me by email…read morethat he was happily pushing people in wheelchairs because he was doing so well. This was easy for me to believe, because he had done so well during his month at Greenfield Healthcare Center once released from a couple weeks at Community Hospital North due to an infection. But it was downhill from there--more than likely due to the facility's near-complete lack of memory care activities, its emphasis on apartment-style living that increases isolation, and its use of benzodiazepines/pharmacological restraint in general (something I questioned in particular that they refused to respond to unlike other facilities I asked). As my dad put it from what he saw multiple times in the memory care wing's (beautiful) day room: "They were all zombies who couldn't even hold their heads up." My grandfather fell 12 times (that we know of) in his month and a half at Meadow Brook. He developed acute encephalopathy, a subdural hematoma, at least one UTI and was sent to a psychiatric hospital to get his "meds figured out." Yet, he kept going because he had always loved life and had hope. Unfortunately, that hope was unfounded. His first POA refused to move him to another facility--even when Meadow Brook eventually urged her to do so once the Department of Health and Adult Protective Service opened investigations--and Meadow Brook never contacted his successor POAs when moving him was a matter of life or death (he, in fact, died last Sunday) and, therefore, superseded HIPAA regulations. After my grandfather's final fall at Meadow Brook, he was taken to the hospital yet again. It was one fall too many. The bright spot of this post is that I convinced his POA to release him to Allisonville Meadows down the street. Skilled nurses and hospice workers in Allisonville Meadows' memory care unit showed him the utmost respect and dignity during his final week and a half of life. If you're thinking of sending your loved one to Meadow Brook for memory care, please don't. Or at least educate yourself based on complaint records with the State and also tour the facility morning, noon and night at unplanned times. I gave Meadow Brook two stars only because I have no experience with its assisted living portion, which is where all the amenities are. Here is my grandfather's obituary. He was a wonderful man. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/robert-meadows-obituary?id=53976750 Sources: Indiana State Department of Health report: https://www.in.gov/health/reports/QAMIS/ltccr/cr013163.htm Synopsis of Meadow Brook's initial plan for "transitional" memory care: https://seniorcare.levinassociates.com/2014/06/19/spectrum-opens-meadow-brook-senior-living-fishers-indiana/

It's Monday at Sycamore Reserve Senior Community. It's a beautiful day in a very nice place…read more Our home can be considered a Resort Lifestyle. For Barbara McNamara and me it is more a Retreat Lifestyle. We have time to read, write, and reflect. There are several retired ministers living here, a retired Firefighter Chaplain, two fine pianists. There are others with a wealth of life experience, including success in professions and business. We enjoy conversations with people who have lived exceptional lives. We have exercise classes, a heated salt-water pool, Chair Yoga, healthy food, a weekly Bible Study, and on-site Sunday Worship Services. We also enjoy Happy Hour on Friday, we just had a 500 Race Party and are planning a KY Derby Party. There are times and places for discussion and reflection. Living here helps us with the organization and integration of our lifetimes of experience and learning. So is Sycamore Reserve a Resort or Retreat? The bottom line: The management and staff here provide us with great choices each day to live the life that works for us that day. We love having choices.

Jody made our move…read morein effortless answering questions what seemed to be day and night from both out of state and over seas at times. My husband and I were able to see first hand the gentle and loving care and respect that you would hope your parents receive in an assisted living facility by Jody and her team. At sign in Jody made sure to maintain eye contact with my 87 year old father in law the entire time making it perfectly clear to all of us that without a power of attorney, he was the adult and at no time if we had different desires for him, would our wishes usurp decision making powers. I appreciated that and so did he. He was worried about losing his Dignity and autonomy when he was moving into assisted living and that was extremely helpful for him to realize that he would not be losing anything but gaining support in cleaning and food preparation. He now has access to a nurse on every floor PT and OT on-site, a gorgeous new facility, a handyman who is helpful in putting up thing for them, and loving souls like Kelly who does their activities and drives them to the stores and doctors appointments and Jody who's job says move in coordinator but is waaay more than that! She has also been my double checker...My only checker... my only complaint would be in the enthusiasm of selling us on Vivera (which was t needed, it sells itself) there were several times the marketing director gaves is incorrect information about pricing and social security info- when both my husband and I questioned the validity of the information she insisted yes she was correct. For many that would have put them in a really bad position. Fortunately, I had developed a relationship with Jody that when I had asked her she was able to clarify for me the accuracy and we were able to set our path straight early on in the on boarding process. I only say this so if you are looking... make sure you speak with Jody- she is a wealth of knowledge and with be straight forward with you! As a comparison, we had my mother in law at silver oaks first and it was fine, but the facility was not nearly as nice- I would say borderline depressing, and although the staff was friendly, they didn't go above and beyond like Jody, Kelly, Janie and the crew.

I echo the above review concerning Alzheimer's. My husband and I were given many reassurances, but in the end, there were almost daily calls about how they could not handle behaviors. There were vague insinuations that my father in law would be kicked out. We had to change hospice agencies and the new agency informed us that they walked in to him covered in stool and appearing in pain. Both of my in laws were there, but we moved my mother in law due to repeated falls and their requirement that we hire an independent aide. She was not being well cared for. The final straw came when they sent the wrong person to the new facility where we were transferring my mother in law!!! I am so unhappy with the new management. My father in law died and the person who was staffing the memory care unit had no idea that he died (she asked us if we had asked my father in law for his permission before we entered his room to remove his belongings.) We are still waiting for any sort of condolences from the executive director. (He called and asked where we wanted a reimbursement check sent without even a sorry for your loss.) Please don't use this facility for your loved ones.
