The Meadowlands in O’Fallon, Missouri, operates as an assisted-living community, offering help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, mobility and medication reminders. Licensed nurses oversee care plans, track vital signs and coordinate with each resident’s physicians to adjust treatments as needed. Staff members are on site around the clock, which allows the community to respond promptly to urgent health concerns and monitor chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Beyond day-to-day personal assistance, the community arranges scheduled transportation to local physicians and specialists, facilitates on-site laboratory work and imaging visits when possible, and offers rehabilitation through outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy providers who visit the campus. A pharmacy partnership supports accurate medication dispensing and refill management, while regular wellness reviews keep families informed about changes in a resident’s status.
Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom apartments as well as companion suites. Some floor plans offer direct access to outdoor areas, allowing residents to step outside without leaving the secured perimeter, while select units come equipped with an in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience. Intergenerational programs bring local students and youth groups into common areas for scheduled activities, creating opportunities for social engagement close to residents’ rooms. Not every apartment contains every feature, so families are encouraged to review specific layouts during a visit to confirm which options are available.
Residents receive three meals daily in the community dining room, with entrée choices designed by a registered dietitian to meet nutritional standards for older adults and to accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or carbohydrate-controlled menus. Flexible dining times, snacks available throughout the day and staff support for those who need assistance with eating ensure that residents maintain adequate nutrition and hydration.
