It's Monday at Sycamore Reserve Senior Community. It's a beautiful day in a very nice place…read more Our home can be considered a Resort Lifestyle. For Barbara McNamara and me it is more a Retreat Lifestyle. We have time to read, write, and reflect. There are several retired ministers living here, a retired Firefighter Chaplain, two fine pianists. There are others with a wealth of life experience, including success in professions and business. We enjoy conversations with people who have lived exceptional lives. We have exercise classes, a heated salt-water pool, Chair Yoga, healthy food, a weekly Bible Study, and on-site Sunday Worship Services. We also enjoy Happy Hour on Friday, we just had a 500 Race Party and are planning a KY Derby Party. There are times and places for discussion and reflection. Living here helps us with the organization and integration of our lifetimes of experience and learning. So is Sycamore Reserve a Resort or Retreat? The bottom line: The management and staff here provide us with great choices each day to live the life that works for us that day. We love having choices.

I am a weekly visitor at Sycamore Reserve. Not only is it an absolutely beautiful and homey-feeling…read moreplace, but the owners all have active rolls in the day to day operation. They drop in for lunch there, asking residents how things are going. The staff participates with residents in doing art projects, community outreach, and exercise. The result is a very 'dedicated to resident' feel -- and residents who are engaged and happy where they live. I get that feeling every week with every visit. This place is truly remarkable!

I cannot say enough about this facility, or as we call it, The Country Club. I have had numerous…read moreloved ones in assisted living homes all around the north side of Indy, Carmel, Westfield, and Fishers. This place is a gem - the kindest, warmest, safest, most delicious food, cleanest, attentive, and beautiful. The staff is off the charts great and they think of everything. My mom is a current resident and is so happy that she often asks if she can stay there forever. This is remarkable as she was begging to leave her last two assisted living homes. I cannot think of a single negative except for maybe driving thru traffic at the Fashion Mall to get there.

When my grandfather arrived at the memory care wing of Meadow Brook, the staff updated me by email…read morethat he was happily pushing people in wheelchairs because he was doing so well. This was easy for me to believe, because he had done so well during his month at Greenfield Healthcare Center once released from a couple weeks at Community Hospital North due to an infection. But it was downhill from there--more than likely due to the facility's near-complete lack of memory care activities, its emphasis on apartment-style living that increases isolation, and its use of benzodiazepines/pharmacological restraint in general (something I questioned in particular that they refused to respond to unlike other facilities I asked). As my dad put it from what he saw multiple times in the memory care wing's (beautiful) day room: "They were all zombies who couldn't even hold their heads up." My grandfather fell 12 times (that we know of) in his month and a half at Meadow Brook. He developed acute encephalopathy, a subdural hematoma, at least one UTI and was sent to a psychiatric hospital to get his "meds figured out." Yet, he kept going because he had always loved life and had hope. Unfortunately, that hope was unfounded. His first POA refused to move him to another facility--even when Meadow Brook eventually urged her to do so once the Department of Health and Adult Protective Service opened investigations--and Meadow Brook never contacted his successor POAs when moving him was a matter of life or death (he, in fact, died last Sunday) and, therefore, superseded HIPAA regulations. After my grandfather's final fall at Meadow Brook, he was taken to the hospital yet again. It was one fall too many. The bright spot of this post is that I convinced his POA to release him to Allisonville Meadows down the street. Skilled nurses and hospice workers in Allisonville Meadows' memory care unit showed him the utmost respect and dignity during his final week and a half of life. If you're thinking of sending your loved one to Meadow Brook for memory care, please don't. Or at least educate yourself based on complaint records with the State and also tour the facility morning, noon and night at unplanned times. I gave Meadow Brook two stars only because I have no experience with its assisted living portion, which is where all the amenities are. Here is my grandfather's obituary. He was a wonderful man. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/robert-meadows-obituary?id=53976750 Sources: Indiana State Department of Health report: https://www.in.gov/health/reports/QAMIS/ltccr/cr013163.htm Synopsis of Meadow Brook's initial plan for "transitional" memory care: https://seniorcare.levinassociates.com/2014/06/19/spectrum-opens-meadow-brook-senior-living-fishers-indiana/

The food smelled good and was artfully presented. We had great hopes for this assisted living community based upon what we had seen. However we were told by a sister spectrum community (Enclave @ Saxony) that the Meadowbrook community was not working according to the Spectrum corporate guidelines with respect to special diets. Our worry was that in the event that the current chef left, we would be left Spectrum corporate view on special diets which is not acceptable for us. (See our review on the Enclave at Saxony) This community gets four stars for their focus on meeting their customers needs. Should they be required to move to the Spectrum corporate policy I would change this to one star. Investigate your choices very carefully.

I myself have visited this business on multiple occasions and have found the entirety of the business lacking in quality as well as the basic services necessary for the running a successful enterprise of this type. Even as I write this review while visiting my relative I am talking with another woman who said and I quote "The quality of this food breaks my heart!". If I who am here very rarely can see the poor quality of this establishment then I pity those who spend many of their days here in this sham of a residential center.
