My father lives here. The staff is wonderful and truly care about the residents. Administration keeps the focus on dignity and living life to its fullest. Just a few examples of the fun times we have; attending special events and programs that are held throughout the year, holiday celebrations organized campus wide, catching movies in the theater, going to eat in the cafe or restaurant, attending classes and presentations, walking the beautiful campus, fishing from one of the docks on the pond... the list goes on and on. Choosing long term care for your loved one can and should be a very thorough and thoughtful process, be sure to ask lots of questions and really pay attention to the surroundings when visiting prospective facilities. We chose Meadowlark Hills because they offered the most home like atmosphere and were visibly focused on dignity and maintaining as much independence as possible while delivering quality care. Fun fact we learned: Everyone there dresses in nice, normal clothing, they are staffed with RN's and medical professionals, but you wont see anyone wearing hospital type scrubs because there focus is on being "home" not an institution!

IF you are concerned about “The POSSIBLE HUMAN DIGNITY”?
One late night walking back to my husband’s room (#109 Bramlage) From The Kitchen I heard from Inside An OPEN Room (LEAVE ROOM-DOOR OPEN is against GUIDELINE!)
“Mr. So and So, YOU WET YOUR PANTS AGAIN” (It is against another GUIDELINE: DISRESPECT OF RESIDENT!)
My Husband Said, “I am PROUD that I don’t have to depend totally on others to go to the toilet”.
BUT WHENEVER MY HUSBAND HELPED HIMSELF, IF SEEN BY ANY STAFF, “As soon as HIS FOOT TOUCHES THE FLOOR, IT IS RECORDED AS A FALL” (AGAIN, this is against GUIDELINE when NOT TO HELP a Resident to be as independent as he is capable of!)
Any # of FALLS give this Nursing home “LEGAL CONTROL TO HARNESS my husband from MOVING BY HIMSELF”— first a wheelchair that HE TOTALLY CANNOT BUDGE; THEN A HUGE WHEELCHAIR THAT HE FORS NOT HAVE ANY “support” TO SPRING ANY MUSCLE to touch the floor. THEN A RECLINER-Lift which saves human resource to lift or move him FOR TOILET.
WHEN their STAFF DID NOT COME IN “ON TIME” to keep my husband CARRY OUT HIS PLANNED CONTROL OF HIS URINE OR FECES, I stepped in to help, and STAFF HAS BEEN GRANTED— THIS CONTROL: THE CONSEQUENCE OF VOICING “Catherine IS “IN OUR WAY OF CARE” TO [Doctor] Daniel [FUNG]”.
THE SETUP gives Nursing home THE CONTROL OF MY HUSBAND: HE ENDS UP “Curling small” IN HIS ROOM’s Recliner-Lift and I AM NOT TO COME NEAR HIM: This is about:
My 50-year marriage and COMPASSIONATE HUSBAND canNOT FIND ME ( but you can find me in FaceBook: the ONLY WEDDING PHOTO of a standing couple under A FRESH FLOWER BELL, 1968) therefore he believes that I am in Hong Kong, his birth place: SINCE June 20, THE DAY AFTER FATHER’S DAY, 2016– How many days a Resident of this Nursing Home has NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO SEE HIS WIFE? PLEASE YOU do the math and perhaps let me know?????
Also, should a Nursing Home have THE CONTROL OF: “NO SPEAK IN Chinese!” “NO TALK ABOUT Dr. Daniel Fung owns A HOUSE near the Nursing home!” and “NO MENTION OF Dr. Daniel Fung, World Famous FOOD MICROBIOLOGIST CAN FURTHER HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOCIETY AS HE HAD BEEN WHEN HE WAS STILL OUTSIDE the nursing home”
Dr. Daniel Fung and Mrs. Dr.— that is WHO I AM— Catherine Fung canNOT move to another nursing home because we have been BLACK-LISTED practically everywhere.
You can have the knowledge that when NOWHERE ELSE IS WILLING TO TAKE YOU, YOUR OWN HOUSE DOES NOT REFUSE YOU... I am waiting for our 100-year house TO PASS THEIR ENFORCEMENT and hire outside help to have MORE PERSONAL AWARENESS OF INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
The “a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. HORRORS of THIS Nursing facility” will be posted again: this next time in Face Book: I HAVE BEEN PUNISHED BY THIS Nursing home last time when I posted it ON THEIR WEBSITE: I spent my husband’s retirement-savings of $USA 150,000 Lawyer and Court FEES AND NO “due process”!!!!!!! THE POSSIBLE HUMAN DIGNITY IS to live at home and die at home: when he came into the mid nursing facility he was drug-free NOW HE IS PAYING FOR 10 DRUGS EVERY MONTH. We used to believe “GOOD IS TO COME PLAY BEAUTIFUL PIANO MUSIC for their residents”; NOW IS NOT.

The place is garbage in my opinion . They lie and manufacture false documentation and are willing to lie to the Federalgovernment . My wife was a resident there from Aug 30 2012 till November 2014 . Unless you are going to drop off your loved ones and let them die then this isn't the place for you . Trusting the nursing industry to be honest and helpful is one of the largest mistakes I made in my life . Also be careful in my opnion there is an elder looting SCHEME going on in this nursing home .
