Traditions Management

From what I saw on my tour, this was a fine facility! It appeared to be quite clean and well maintained, and the staff were friendly.

Our Father was in charge of picking his assisted living facility. He and his daughters visited several around Indianapolis. When he walked into Traditions at Solana, he loved the light and open feeling. Before he broke his hip, he painted beautiful watercolors...light is important to an artist. Solana is full of light and a most welcoming atmosphere. He choose Solana. We are now going into two years. He calls Solana "home". You can't do any better than that for your parent. When we go out for the day he is always ready to go home. He looks forward to the music events and "happy hour" twice a week. He has made friends here. The staff works hard to make the residents a part of the community...it takes a village...they do a great job. We are 5 siblings and we all appreciate Solana.

The experience has been going very well for my mom. So far the staff are good and they made some changes for the better. The grounds and public areas are clean and my mom's room is livable and not bad. At times there are some things left on the floor but her room is clean. They make great meals for the residents.

My mom developed sundowners since moving into Traditions. The staff are doing a wonderful job with her since moving in. There were a few bumps in the road but the staff have been great about working with us to correct the minor issues. The food is good and they are trying to get her to participate in activities during the day. I would recommend this community.

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.

Mom enjoys the companionship and the activities. She has mentioned some of the meals are not so good.

Everyone was friendly and very professional. Our issues were probably just our own misunderstandings. He was just there for a respite stay. They did not have any skilled nursing help, which he needed for a foot wound. Also, we didn't realize we needed to provide all the pads and diapers, so that was an issue. The bed was just a regular bed and wasn't adjustable (like a hospital bed), and he really can't lay flat, so I had to buy pillows and have them delivered so he could prop up. It's a beautiful place, just not enough for what my husband needs.

The staff is very pleasant and helpful. It is a very welcoming community. I would recommend it to others.

Mainly due to internal communication for scheduling showers, housekeeping etc.. the staff is super friendly they really try hard to make things right. Community Spaces are always kept nice. I would recommend to others.

What stood out the most - He was always clean and dressed appropriately. He loved to sit outside on the enclosed patio and they would take him out and check on him. He was a picky eater and somehow they convinced him to try new things.

Staff get a 3, billing gets a 1. Went downhill when Traditions took over last summer Food was really bad and I'm not really picky. Also, they now have a policy that if you die while there, you have to pay for 30 more days even if you have removed all the belongings. That alone would stop me from going there. That doesn't seem like it should be legal. The administrator and Nursing director are really nice though.

They have a NP onsite and PT, OT and speech therapy onsite as well. The facility is kept very clean. The food is good. My Dad loves it! Everyone is friendly and helpful

The community has been great. Maybe the "on-boarding" of new residents is an area for improvement. Overall we are happy with the community.

When we first visited Traditions, I really liked it. Since my mom is there, I still do! It’s very nice, clean , and lots of things to do. The employees really make an effort to learn the residents names. Love that you can do your own laundry. If you have questions, just call and they will answer.
