Traditions Management

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.

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

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.

Very thoughtful, all the staff. Food excellent. Nurse very helpful. Rooms clean.

If you are going for a respite stay, make sure you bring underpads/briefs... they are not supplied, which I didn't realize. Also, the period were extremely nice and professional, but they don't do any real skilled nursing help. My husband had a wound on his foot which we told them about, but they never changed the dressing in the 9 days he was there. So if you have someone that needs more than basic care (toileting, meds, food), you might want to try somewhere else. The place is gorgeous and the people are very kind. I have no issues with that at all. Just wasn't what I expected for the care side of it.

Comments: the facility common areas, cafeteria etc are perfectly maintained but individual rooms don't always get cleaned weekly because of short staff. Most aids are very friendly but a couple are abrupt with the residents. Care issues are more of a concern for those needing the highest level of skilled care. The food is not always suitable for individuals on restrictive diets. There is a lot of turnover with continual new faces but the facility director expects this to settle down.

Traditions is a very clean and welcoming facility. The Memory Care is a locked unit with only the staff having the passcode to go in and out of the doors. This can be difficult at times as a visitor /family member must ring a bell and then patiently wait for staff to come and allow you to come into the Memory Care area. Due to patient/staff ratio, sometimes the wait has been over 5 minutes for someone to unlock the door. Due to the patient/staff ratio, my mom did escape the facility twice. The first time the security door alarm was broken and did not go off; the second time the staff was too busy with another patient and did not follow up immediately and my mom was found outside the facility by a dentist office personnel. I'm currently experiencing an issue with my monthly payments not being acknowledged by the local financial person but is acknowledged by the corporate person. So every month I get an overdue bill. Very annoying.

The food in the memory care unit at Traditions at Hunter Station is very limited in choice compared to the main dining room.

Very nice clean facility. Good people. We picked this community because it's convenient to my home, and the affordability.

Overall nice place. Seems to be a lot of turnover and generally short staffed. Yes I would recommend this community to other families. They were just taken over by new management. They are definitely doing their best....very easy to work with

We were very pleased with the welcome we got from staff! The rooms are large compared with many places. Extra nursing levels are charged if needed. Meals are very appetizing and are more comfort food than gourmet but very pleasing. The community has family meals once a month and they are a lot of fun (such as brunch, Olympic game night, corn roast, etc.) Lots of activities and friendly residents. We are very happy with our choice of this community.

He needed a higher level of care and they were making us pay extra for a sitter. Could improve Training of staff to take care of dementia patients better and understand the disease process. I did like the activities, they took him to church, and the food was good. Private rooms were very nice.

The initial review of Meadow Brook with [name removed] was completed well, and I am pleased with my apartment. The move in went well thanks to the help of son [name removed] and his wife [name removed],and daughter[name removed]. The staff have been helpful, and appreciate [name removed] help with a few things.

I'd say it's really nice and don't think twice about moving there. I wish there was more parking up at the big building. My parents are in the Villas and they don't go up to do activities very often, they said it's hard to find parking. Dinner is so early and it doesn't run long enough. But everyone is really friendly and I'm happy that they are there.

I was worried in the beginning that my mom wouldn’t like it and I had made a mistake suggesting that she go into assisted living. After about 2 weeks she got her routine and started socializing. Now she tells her friends and family that she just loves it At Traditions of Hunter station. She plays bingo, cards, and enjoys the live entertainment. She is almost always doing something. Thank you “a place for mom” with suggestions on facilities to visit and helping us get the ball rolling.

.HOUSEKEEPING does an excellent job with the weekly cleaning of rooms/apartments. Housekeeping personnel are friendly and accommodating. FRIENDLINESS: Everyone is very friendly. Nurses/aides are great. Reception staff is outstanding. CARE: Overall, the care is excellent. However, there is room for improvement in staffing for nurses and aides. I am not sure if staffing guidelines come from corporate or if those decisions are made by in-house management. STAFF: . nurses/aides are dedicated - very kind and caring . However, there seems to be an increase in turnover of nurses/aides, which could be attributed to frustration over staffing issues . MEALS. Quality of meals is inconsistent. ACTIVITIES: Traditions has an excellent activities director and offers many different activities .However, I would suggest more encouragement for those who might be shy or having trouble adjusting to what in many cases can be a life-changing experience. VALUE: Comparable value.
