A friendly, caring community!
What we like most about Centre Meadows is just literally having a community! Most everyone has a life outside of Centre Meadows whether bowling in the winter or golfing in the summer. It's no different from the over 55 gated community that I lived in in California. The difference lies in the fact that we all live in separate apartments within the same building. Regardless of the weather many of us choose to play cards or bingo or bunco. We pay an extra amount each year & for that a variety of event occur put on by staff for an occasional movie & pizza lunch, there is a small theater room where movies & popcorn are shown every Saturday evening. 4 nights a week a staff member orders meals from different local restaurants for all who choose to order at a [fee removed] per meal cost. Some of us choose to eat in the community room, others choose to have their meal delivered to their apt. I think this is a very unique community & I'm so glad that At a Place For Mom helped me find it!

A friendly, clean community. My loved one hasn't participated in the activities yet, but she has gotten some meals delivered to her room , which she enjoyed. People are very nice.

Centre Meadows Review
I found the facility very very acceptable. People try very hard to be accommodating. The only complaint I would have at this time is some of the things on the weekends that are difficult to complete sidewalks during the snow, storms, trash, and availability of service people will help as needed.

Definitely would recommend to others
The cleanliness of the community could slightly be improved but overall it is not bad. I do not eat the meal service all that much but they do offer 4 meals to choose from. Also the activities just started to open back up and I do think the value for cost is worth it.

not a senior living community
The community is not a senior living community, the staff is not cooperative and we did not get what we were told we would upfront. Maintenance does not do quality work and I would not recommend this community.

What a great place! My mom loves the activities and the washer and dryer! The building is well maintained and staff was professional and helpful. The meal plan is a great option but not mandatory. This is my top pick for my parents!

my father loves it!
I moved my father in two months again. I was searching for an apartment that was reasonably priced. I didn't want to pay "assisting living" prices but wanted a place where services were offered if needed...meal etc. This place is safe, clean and a full size washer and dryer in the apartment! I finally feel like I don't have to check on my dad daily. He's so happy and finally feeling independent and loving life again. He loves the meals and has made some great friends. This facility is worth looking into. I'm so glad my family fount it!

This place is very clean and roomy. Newly built facility with activities, meals (additional), movies and socializing. I feel it might be a higher expense than we are prepared to handle. Still thinking about this one.

Very unappealing. No effort made to make either outdoor landscape or interior common areas more attractive or inviting. Found rental rate very high. Lacked hallway rails. The only thing this facility offered that others didn't was each unit has its own washer and dryer. Compared very poorly to other visited sites.

Likes, plus improvements
It is a lovely place, with spacious rooms and plenty of handy storage space. However, there are a few areas that I wish were improved upon: A. There is no designated "pick up/drop off area" for the tenants. A ten min spot would be so helpful for picking them up for appts., or for taking them grocery shopping. When they are walking with canes or walker and you can't find a spot close to the door to leave your car to go inside and get them, it becomes very frustrating, time consuming, and dangerous for the tenant to walk some of those distances. B. The winter was rough on the sidewalks and parking lots, but they were very dangerous and slippery for tenants and guests. Perhaps an odd/even number on license plates could be used to move cars from one area of the lot to another and then relocate at a given time for clearing the remaining lot. Also, preventative de-icing spray should be hosed on the lots and sidewalk areas in advance of threatening snow/ice. C. The hot water smells like sulfur eggs and there is a lot of calcium buildup over time in the water supply.

A Place for Mom has scored Centre Meadows 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
