The Views of Cedar Rapids | MeadowView Memory Care

Memory garden (outdoor area) is unkept. There has been no upkeep since the former maintenance person retired in 2024. Staff overturn is high. A LOT of temp people that are unfamiliar with your loved ones, are filling in. Poor management and very little follow through with care plans due to understaffing, high overturn and lack of individual training. If you don't have time to keep a close watch on your loved ones, this place is not for you. Activities are not a priority. Don't count on your loved ones having a schedule of consistent activities. Upper management is lacking. They make excuses for their problems versus finding solutions for the problems. The kitchen manager is very accommodating. The head nurse does what she can, but has her hands full. Her assistant is not helpful or understanding. There is a handful of staff (aids) that are really good but they typically end up leaving. Do not use the in-house doctor. There is no hydration program for loved ones and there is no strategic diet plans to help slow the progression of dementia or alzheimers.What do you like most about living here?
