My mother moved into Meadowthorpe Oct. 2019 after my father passed. We visited several Independent/Assisted Living places before Meadowthorpe that had the one room efficiency look that cost more for less space. Once we visited Meadowthorpe we stopped visiting other places because Meadowthorpe's apartment style layout sold us. Meadowthorpe is basically an apartment. This is important for those downsizing/transitioning from a home because it gave my mom a since of independence of still being in her own place and it also gave her room to keep a lot of her stuff from the house (furniture, pictures, clothes (they have a nice walk in closet), etc.). The above is somewhat important but what sealed the deal was Meadowthopre's staff/team and other residents. From our first introduction everyone from the staff (Lea Ann (CEO) and office workers), aids, kitchen workers and other residents treated my mom as if she was their own mother. They genuinely made her feel at home. If you're looking for an Independent/Assisted/Memory care for a loved one, I highly recommend paying Meadowthopre a visit. I'd give them 10 stars if they had more stars available.

I can highly recommend Meadowthorpe Assisted Living and Memory Care in Lexingtin, Ky as a safe and friendly place to take care of you or your loved ones when they can no longer take care of themselves. The facility is split into 5 buildings with 8 apartments each, so it doesn't have that rehab/hospital like feel that some other facilities do. Each apartment has its own kitchen/living room, bedroom, and bathroom. Each building has its own entrance sitting area, kitchen, dining room/TV room, covered back porch, and laundry. They have outings for capable residents and on site events and crafts. The staff cares for each resident like family and make sure they are getting the support they need. They provide special memory care for residents who have dementia/Alzheimer's and need extra looking after. When my parents needed to leave their home and go into assisted living this is the place we settled on after looking at several others. The multi-room apartment style living is what made the difference. The staff helped tremendously with getting them settled in their new environment. A doctor comes to check on residents monthly or more as needed. Transportation is provided for residents that need to go to their doctors office for appointments or the hospital if necessary. I also found the pricing to be very reasonable when compared to other similar facilities. The apartments are typically unfurnished, but that helped with the transition for my parents because they could bring furniture they were familiar with.

This is a wonderful place. The Cottage set up makes living there much more like living in a home than a huge building. The other residents become "family". Residents can stay in their apartment if they don't feel social but come out for meals and activities if they do. This arrangement is so much better than the huge buildings where people may not know one another. The staff are very caring too. A dear friend has been here and I am so grateful for the care that she has been given.

I highly recommend Meadowthorpe Assisted Living! My father has been living there for almost 4 years. We are impressed by the administrative and care staff, who are very compassionate, professional, and dedicated to working with elderly people with dignity and respect. I also appreciate the clear communication they maintain with us about changes to his situation and the ways they help us all work together to sustain his quality of life and care. We also love the cottage layout, which is not only very warm and homey, but also allows for a good staff-to-resident ratio. Each resident can have their own small apartment space while also staying connected with the community through shared events. We are very grateful Meadowthorpe is in Lexington.

I would highly recommend Meadowthorpe assisted living!! They have been so wonderful taking care of my mother in law. They are all family oriented there, which I love. She enjoys it there and is doing much better there. It is very organized and clean. Thank you all for all you do.

My mother lived at Meadowthorpe Assisted Living for 6 months in 2021. We had such a lovely experience. The staff are kind and helpful, the administration goes above and beyond to accommodate individual needs and make residents comfortable. The building style is so much better than the large, long hallways in larger facilities. The apartments are so nice and cozy. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for care for a loved one. I will always be thankful to Lea Ann and her staff for the care and support they provided my family.

We have found Meadowthorpe Assisted Living to be an excellent facility for our family member. The apartment is a nice size, everything is easily accessible, and in good working order. The caregivers and support staff are generally very good. The facility is clean and well maintained. The meals are generally good too. The administrative staff have been easy to work with and very responsive. While no one wants to be in a situation where they cannot live independently, this has been a positive overall experience in a tough situation. If you need this level of support, we recommend you take a look at Meadowthorpe. Suzy Hoffmann and Carl Schreiber

On Aug 5, I was visiting my mother after work. Her caretaker, Aaliyah (Tish), popped in a number of times just to check on mom. I think that shows how much she loves her job & the residents. Thank u Aaliyah & Meadowthorpe!

My Mom, Juanita had the privilege of staying at Meadowthorpe for 3 weeks while my husband and I, were on a mission trip. My mom has dementia but it was determined that it would be better for her to stay in the less restrictive Assisted Living area. She also has special dietary needs. Well, I would like to inform anyone considering MAL (Meadowthorpe A/L), this place and the staff - from manager to caregivers- are exceptional. My mom is a Vegan, upon our arrival to her beautiful apartment -there was already in the fridge soy milk and almond butter placed there as a special greeting and reassurance that her dietary needs could and would be met. And they were!! Her caregivers were wonderful and the A/L environment choice was the right match for her. She was active in the exercise programs and her family and friends visits were welcomed and appreciated. I would not hesitate to have my Mom stay there again or live there if that became necessary. Her apartment was well played out and beautifully furnished. The house provided the social interaction she needed and the staff members were warm and friendly and so kind to the residents. My mom was treated with love and respect. May GOD continue to bless the staff, as they serve, and the residents, as they live and thrive, at Meadowthorpe. Sincerly, ReneeCairo.

Facility & staff unprecedented in quality. These folks cared for our Aunt Mary Wells and she committed often about the love and care given her by the whole staff. Before her passing July 16, 2018 we even were given confirmation of the quality care by the hospice nurse. She stated that she had not seen this quality in any place - The staff did their job but obviously went far beyond resident - staff relationships. Staff new special needs & desires with extra effort to meet all. Some staff even made extra effort by spending time with her after their scheduled working hours. Not enough can be said how much we appreciate their care for Auntie Boo which we classify as being a real Blessing & Ministry to our family. John Kurtz

The MAL staff has gone above and beyond expectations with Mother. When it was time to move her to memory care they placed her in the apartment with the same spatial orientation as her former apartment, took photos of her room and moved everything and brought in extra staff and placed her furniture, knick knacks and photos in the exact same place as her old rooms (even down to the order of her shoes in the closet), and made the transition as stress free for her as possible. I have been very impressed with the level of care, the quality of the staff, the atmosphere, the quality of the food and the beauty of the facility. And the rates are very reasonable. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop!" 🙂
