Exclusive Interview Insights
Our team personally reached out and conducted an insightful interview with this community on Jan. 17, 2024. Here's what we learned:
About The Senior Living Community
The senior living community in question is a comprehensive and secure environment that caters to a range of needs from independent living to skilled nursing care. It is not a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), but it does offer various levels of care within its expansive and gated premises.
Types of Care Offered
The community includes a skilled nursing facility known as the rehab at Shenandoah, which does not provide memory care services. For assisted living, personal care, or memory care, there are separate facilities with different contact information.
Admission and Availability
Admissions and discharges occur daily, and while there may be a waitlist, the facility can sometimes accommodate same-day or next-day admissions if notified in advance. A financial application is required prior to admission, and payment for the first month is expected upfront.
Accommodations
All rooms in the skilled nursing facility are private, with private bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for all residents.
Respite Care and Short-Term Stays
The rehab at Shenandoah does not offer respite care or short-term stays. These services may be available in other buildings within the community.
Staffing
The staffing levels vary depending on the census. If operating at full capacity with all 120 beds occupied, each 20-bed wing is staffed with two nurses and three Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). The staffing ratio fluctuates based on the current needs and occupancy rates.
Medical Staff
The community employs five nurse practitioners and one physician who serves as the medical director. The medical director does not have an outside practice and is an employee of Shenandoah, providing on-site coverage Monday through Friday and on-call availability seven days a week.
Safety and Security
The community is a private, gated community with a security guard station at the single entrance. Visitors must be buzzed through the gate by security personnel. The rehab building's doors are locked during certain hours, requiring a badge or to be buzzed in for access.
Communication with Families
Communication with families is facilitated through a care portal once a patient is admitted. This portal allows families to view clinical information and communicate with physicians. Additionally, care meetings are held every Wednesday to update families on the resident's progress, with more frequent updates if necessary.

Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews of The Meadows at Shannondell show a mix of highly positive experiences and some significant concerns. Many families have praised the facility for its smooth transitions from rehab, excellent care in personal and nursing services, and a deeply caring staff. The dining, housekeeping, therapy, and activities staff have been described as caring and compassionate, with many residents enjoying the food and feeling safe, especially noted during the COVID-19 pandemic due to exceptional safety programs and responsiveness to health crises.
However, there are reports of dissatisfaction, including long waits for assistance, poor treatment of staff by administrators, issues with dining experiences, and concerns about patient focus and staff attentiveness. One review mentioned a lack of acknowledgment from The Meadows after a resident's passing, describing the administration as callous and insensitive. Another review highlighted concerns about negligent staff in relation to a resident's choking risk, leading to a decision to move the resident to another facility.
Despite these concerns, some reviews highlight excellent rehab services, with one individual recommending The Meadows based on their personal experience with nursing care and therapy. Another review appreciated the attentive and friendly staff, expressing security in knowing their mother was well cared for.
Overall, while many reviews reflect a positive experience with The Meadows at Shannondell, highlighting the quality of care and the facility's response during the pandemic, there are significant concerns that potential residents and their families may want to consider.
