The Meadows at Shannondell

I noticed that there were no current reviews of the Meadows at Shannondell. I wanted to provide something current and accurate. The Meadows at Shannondell is in crisis. The Meadows is woefully understaffed and beyond that, it lacks day to day management. The nurses are wonderful and really do care but they are overworked and unsupported by both the management team and the health aides. There are too few support staff most of the time. Medication mistakes happen often. If your loved one has a complaint of pain or discomfort or a change in status, it could take weeks for action to be taken. Family members are forced to police the staff making for an very stressful and uncomfortable relationship. The Meadows sends residents to the ER for any issue. The transfers are sloppy and without complete documentation. When patients return to Shannondell, orders and changes are not carefully reviewed. This leads to more mistakes. The facility is expensive and looks quite fancy. In fact it is quite dirty. Dining tables are left unwiped. Beds aren't made. Patient rooms are upswept. Toilets aren't cleaned. Often the floors reek of urine. Don't put your family member here unless you live very close by, are willing and able to be at the facility daily, and willing to fight with the facility to provide the care that they are being paid to deliver.
