Hudson Meadows Retirement Community in Hudson, Ohio is structured for residents who are largely independent and do not require specialized memory care. The community does not operate a separate dementia program, so its health services focus on supporting older adults who can manage daily life with minimal clinical oversight while still having staff nearby for routine wellness checks and coordination with outside medical providers.

Daily support is available for specific activities. Caregivers can provide standby supervision with bathing, eating, and dressing and will give full assistance with toileting when needed. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs can receive help with transfers. Safety is reinforced through alarmed exterior doors and both front and rear fencing, measures that help deter wandering and allow staff to monitor who enters or exits the grounds.

Apartments and suites vary in size and layout, and not every unit contains every feature. Select accommodations are pet-friendly, many include wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, cable or satellite television, and Wi-Fi, and some offer balconies, decks, or patios with outdoor views. Shared spaces such as the central fireplace lounge, piano area, and landscaped outdoor seating provide additional places to relax.

Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served with an all-day dining option that includes guest meals. The kitchen can accommodate kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar diets. Residents who prefer flexible eating times can visit the dining room throughout the day, and staff can coordinate modified textures or portion sizes when prescribed by a physician or dietitian.

Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, high-speed internet, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a stair glide, concierge assistance, a library, a pool, and several special-interest clubs. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas.
