I have been at Meadowbrook Chartwell for nearly 2 years. I enjoy my stay here. I have an apartment in the assisted living area which meets my needs, and I love it. There are many activities of which I participate in most. The halls, entrance, lounge, dining room are seasonally, decorated housekeeping keep halls, window, pictures, are dusted and clean. We have weekly music sessions with invited guests. The bar is open for an hour daily. maintenance is resourceful and prompt. The reason for a 4 1/2 star rating is because of the food and service can be somewhat improved at time.

My mom loves the Meadowbrook staff - they are helpful, friendly and kind. She loves chair exercises with Sheila, Kylie, or S. (a resident who fills in when there isn't a staff member available). Sabina, Deep, Vanessa - there are too many kind wonderful people to mention. Manish has been so helpful no matter what residents need, including check-ins right away when families call about their loved ones.

The entire staff—from the front desk to medical, dining, management, and maintenance—are all very welcoming and friendly. Everyone is kind, helpful, and genuinely cares about the residents. They take the time to make sure our mother is comfortable and well looked after. What really stands out is how the team goes above and beyond every day to ensure residents feel cared for, respected and at home. We’re very grateful for the support and peace of mind they provide.
