    
Living Well with Wellness
A Daily Commitment to The Whole Person
Meadowood embraces a holistic, person-centered philosophy of health and wellness, respecting the dignity and rights of residents, and supporting each person's participation in decisions impacting their lives.
Our approach encompasses six dimensions of health and wellness: spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, vocational and emotional, with a focus on quality of life and maintaining the highest level of independence and capabilities for each individual.
We offer choices and encouragement for residents to maintain and maximize their health through a constant variety of opportunities, and seek to create warm, non-institutional living environments that provide a sense of community for our residents.
Continuity of care with staff, family and residents working together and supporting each other is integral in achieving our health and wellness goals.
