Overview of Meadow Brook Senior Living

Meadow Brook Senior Living sits at 11011 Village Square Ln in Fishers, Indiana, a 116-bed community that covers three levels of care under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care. The building is two stories, set in a neighborhood where a Walk Score of 59 means some errands are doable on foot, though you’ll still want a car for most of them. Right now, 88 of the 116 units are filled, putting occupancy at 76 percent.

The community is run by Sabra Midwest Operations Ix, LLC. Allison Roskam is the Executive Director. She’s got a degree in Healthcare Management and Policy from IU Bloomington, plus credentials as a Licensed Residential Care Administrator and a Certified Dementia Practitioner. Natalie Grannan runs the nursing side as Director of Nursing.

On the care front, residents can get rehabilitation services and respite care, and there’s a doctor on staff along with licensed nurses and CNAs. Home care is available too. The memory care piece is built around a short-term program, paired with personal service plans that get tailored to each resident and a social calendar meant to keep people connected.

The amenity list is long: a fitness center and gym, a library, a salon and spa, even a chapel. Food comes through a restaurant, a bistro, and a cafe, with private dining an option when you want it. Outside, there’s a courtyard, a garden, and walking paths. Add in a movie theater, scheduled transportation, and concierge help, and there’s a lot going on. Day to day, residents get entertainment, games, and special events, backed by a wellness program that gives the whole thing some structure.

Indiana’s Department of Health, through its Division of Long Term Care, is the agency that inspects this facility. Those inspections have tended to circle back to a handful of themes: medication management, infection control, environmental safety, how care gets documented and planned, and resident rights.

Meadow Brook is built for a wide range of needs. It works for someone who just wants an independent apartment and a built-in social scene, and it works for someone whose memory care needs are more hands-on. That range, all under one roof, is really what defines this place.
