Hudson Meadows Retirement Community — Local services in Hudson

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Hello readers... I am not one who normally writes reviews, but I have strong feelings about Hudson Meadows (HM) and wanted to share our experience. In November 2022 we learned my in-laws, who lived in Arkansas, needed to be closer to family. We looked into a large number of places in northeast Ohio, and HM was far and away the best we looked at. We liked that it was a vibrant retirement community for independent living, with the ability to contract (with either partnering health and personal service agencies or whomever we wished) for services once they needed help. We loved that the managers live at HM... it is their home too so they have a vested interest in maintaining the place and they are a true part of the HM community. My in-laws appreciated that there was no contract needed - rent is month to month, again HM having a vested interest each month to ensuring all are happy.

My in-laws have been at HM since March 1. I have spent a great deal of time there - a minimum of 2x/week, usually 3-4 times. I don't just visit with my in-laws and eat meals with them... I love the place so much I began volunteering to help out when and where I could. I also attend the monthly residents' meetings, participate in some of the activities (chair volleyball anyone?), and have eaten many, many meals. I have interacted with Pamela and Scott (the wonderful managers), and most of the staff (including kitchen/dining, housekeeping, concierge, activity director, maintenance). Every single interaction has been positive. I have witnessed first hand the concierge respond immediately to requests from residents (e.g., help with the cable remote, scheduling transportation, take a meal order). I have become friends with a number of the residents, and they - in addition to my in-laws - think very highly of HM. I have already told Pamela that when I am ready to move to a retirement community I absolutely want...

I have visited this truly luxurious facility many times. I don’t even want to address this community as a facility as it is a loving home to every resident and a home away from home to the workers. I know this because I was so infatuated that I volunteer on a regular basis! I have had the good fortune of spending time with the managers, Pamela & Scott Artman, and Hudson Meadows won the lottery being Blessed with these two! They have done a tremendous job making all feel at home, residents, visitors and workers alike, and their passion for being there is evident in all that they do and has trickled into everyone there!!! I have met their extraordinary chef, assistant cooks, kitchen helpers, servers, housekeeping, event and activities planner (no one better anywhere!), maintenance, concierges, and my absolute favorites, the residents!!! Larger than life they are…they come from all backgrounds and from different parts of not just the United States, but the world! They are so friendly, gracious and thankful for being at Hudson Meadows and for everything in life. I love spending time with the residents, talking past, present and future. They are wise, quick witted and a challenge to keep up with! The attention to detail from Pamela and Scott, and all of the workers, is unbelievable and must be witnessed in person to fully appreciate! The food is great, the activities non-stop, the cleanliness impeccable and the residents are truly a gift, a Blessing! Hudson Meadows is overflowing with character, the good kind that is missing alot these days. The best review I can offer is that I will love for my loved ones, and I, to make Hudson Meadows home when the time...

We have recently started our search for a community to care for my mother. After touring local sites, we have discovered "The Hudson Meadows" is by far the best Retirement Community we can imagine. The site design is overflowing with outstanding features, gracefully combined in thoughtful architecture. There is a grand dining area with large windows to bring in the sunshine, diverse freshly prepared meal selection, a beautiful water feature with Koi fish, an actual full size theater, pool table, poker/game room, comfortable & casual lounge room with snacks and refreshments, large well outfitted exercise room, planned on site bank, a gaming arcade, a hair salon, large library, 2- Fire Safety gathering areas with fire doors on each of the 3 floors, available garages for resident use, fully outfitted kitchen and a bonus we found exclusively at The Hudson Meadows- a washer and dryer in every apartment. Along with the superior building we enjoyed meeting with the professional management care team and staff. Of course there are medical and non-medical service teams on site for the resident care. The tours, friendly families living there and awareness of the lifestyle possible for my mother at The Hudson Meadows made my wife ask if we could sell our home, retire and move there too. Nothing...
