Overview of Meadow Valley

Meadow Valley is a 137-bed senior living community at 5143 North Long Lake Rd in Traverse City, Grand Traverse County, Michigan. The facility opened in 2024 under Oakleaf Village of Traverse City, LLC, offering independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care services. Administrator David Phillips leads the operation. The facility holds a regular license, and respite care is available.

The inspection record documents a significant shift. In October 2024, an original licensing study found the newly constructed 54-bed facility in substantial compliance, with zero deficiencies noted. Eight months later, following the facility’s expansion to 137 beds, a June 3, 2025 renewal inspection identified two deficiencies related to food and dietary practices. Inspectors found documented meal census records were lacking and noted potential contamination risks involving uncovered food items and food storage practices. These concerns represent a meaningful change from the facility’s initial compliance record.

The community’s amenities include a fitness center and pickleball courts, supporting active recreation. Casual and fine dining options accommodate residents’ varied preferences and dietary needs. A movie theater provides entertainment and serves as a social gathering space. Meadow Valley benefits from exceptional walkability, with a walk score of 85 ranking it among Michigan’s top facilities for neighborhood accessibility. Most errands are accomplishable on foot, and essential services are within walking distance.

Meadow Valley fits residents seeking a continuum of care in a highly walkable, activity-focused environment with skilled nursing and memory care options.
