What is a Life Plan Community and how does it work?

A Life Plan Community, also called a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), provides a full continuum of care in one location. At Meadowood, you can move in while fully independent and age in place as your needs change. The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all on the same 135-acre campus. This means you never have to leave the community or your friends if you need additional care. You pay an entrance fee and monthly fees that provide access to all levels of care as needed.

How much does it cost to live at Meadowood?

Meadowood costs vary based on the type of residence and level of care needed. Independent living costs differ from assisted living or skilled nursing. The community operates on a Life Plan contract model with entrance fees and monthly fees. Contact Meadowood directly at (484) 998-4444 for current pricing and availability. Average costs range from approximately $1,295 to $10,646 per month depending on residence type and care level, with an average around $5,970 per month.

What types of residences are available at Meadowood?

Meadowood offers diverse independent living options including 298 residential apartments (studio and two-bedroom layouts), courtyard homes (one and two-bedroom attached homes), and 42 single freestanding carriage homes. The newest residences in The Grove offer modern, upscale living spaces starting at 1,300 square feet. All independent living options provide maintenance-free living with full access to community amenities and services.

How far in advance should I schedule my move to Meadowood?

We recommend contacting LiteMovers at least 6-8 weeks before your desired move date. Senior transitions to Life Plan Communities often involve significant downsizing and careful planning. Early coordination allows time for pre-move consultation, floor plan review, downsizing decisions, donation coordination, and proper scheduling with Meadowood’s move-in coordinator. Peak moving season (May-September) requires even earlier booking.

Can LiteMovers help with downsizing for my Meadowood move?

Absolutely! Downsizing is one of our specialties and most important for Life Plan Community moves. We provide pre-move consultation, floor plan analysis to determine what will fit, furniture selection guidance, recommendations for items to keep versus donate or sell, coordination with donation centers and charities, estate sale referrals through our partnership with Rightsize Relocation, and packing services for items you’re keeping. We understand this is an emotional process and provide patient, compassionate support.

Does Meadowood require specific moving procedures?

Yes, like all senior living communities, Meadowood has specific moving day protocols. For apartment buildings, elevator reservations must be made in advance. Moving hours are typically restricted to protect residents’ quiet enjoyment. Building protection materials are required to prevent damage to floors, walls, and doorways. LiteMovers is familiar with all Meadowood procedures and coordinates directly with their move-in coordinator to ensure compliance. We bring all necessary protection materials and schedule moves during approved timeframes.

What healthcare services are available at Meadowood?

Meadowood provides comprehensive healthcare services across the full continuum of care. Holly House offers 24-hour assisted living with personal care support. McLean Memory Care unit provides specialized dementia care in a secure environment. The 59-bed skilled nursing facility offers 24/7 nursing care with physician oversight. Short-term rehabilitation services partner with MossRehab (top-ranked nationally) for physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Home health services provide in-residence care when needed. Meadowood earned U.S. News & World Report “Best Nursing Homes” designation for 2023-2024.

What makes Meadowood different from other senior living communities?

Meadowood’s unique “three-legged stool” philosophy creates a true partnership between residents, board, and staff. The 135-acre park-like campus offers exceptional natural beauty with walking trails. The award-winning Meadowell program (2022 Pinnacle Award – Top 5 in North America) embraces seven dimensions of wellness. Unique programs include equine therapy, a community therapy dog named Beacon, and renowned speakers from institutions like University of Pennsylvania. The community is nonprofit with revenues reinvested into facilities and programs. Meadowood consistently ranks as one of Montgomery County’s premier retirement communities.

Can I visit Meadowood before deciding to move there?

Yes, Meadowood encourages tours and welcomes prospective residents. Many current residents serve as impromptu tour guides and extend personal invitations to social events. You can schedule a tour by calling (484) 998-4444. We recommend visiting multiple times, dining in the community, attending activities, and talking with current residents. Many people join the Meadowood Club for priority consideration on residences and access to amenities before moving in. LiteMovers can coordinate your move timing with your Meadowood entry date.

Does LiteMovers offer storage if I need time between moves?

Yes, we offer secure storage solutions for Meadowood residents who need temporary storage between selling their home and moving into their new residence. This is common when there’s a gap between closing dates or when you’re not ready to make all downsizing decisions immediately. Our climate-controlled facilities protect your belongings, and we coordinate delivery to Meadowood whenever you’re ready. Storage can be short-term or extended based on your needs.
