As the daughter of aging parents, I could not imagine a better place for my parents. We recently lost my Mom and the staff and residents are extremely supportive. They are family!!

The staff members at The Hudson Meadows Retirement Community are phenomenal. They were pleasant and attentive to everyone's needs. I can't recommend Hudson Meadows highly enough. Great place.

I moved my mom into Hudson Meadows recently and couldn’t be happier! Pamela, Scott, and the entire team are truly exceptional! There is such care, kindness, hospitality, and a strong sense of family and community amongst the team and residents! The amenities and gorgeous community truly make it feel like a home. The cuisine is consistently delicious with a varied menu and everyone aims to please! I can’t say enough about how fabulous the people and community are at Hudson Meadows! This is a hidden gem that will deliver on all your needs. Thank you again, Pamela, Scott, and the team for peace of mind in knowing Mom is well taken care of!

My husband and I moved to Hudson Meadows eight months ago. I can’t tell you how much we love living here. Pamela and Scott welcomed us like family. I think of all of the wonderful people we would not have met if we hadn’t come here. We care and love each other like family. Every one of the staff is friendly and go out of their way to be of assistance. They take care of our every need. We are so very blessed. Thank you to everyone at Hudson Meadows😘

My parents moved in here recently. I can’t say enough about the friendly, helpful staff. They could be a model for any company in customer service. The meals and activities are also 5-star and the residents have been welcoming towards my parents. Everyone my parents have met, from those who have been here since near opening to those here a couple of months, have shared how happy they are at the Meadows.

The Hudson Meadows gave me a new lease on life after my husband passed. It gave me the freedom to live my life without so many restrictions. Plus I have been afforded a new family.

Hudson Meadows is resort living at its BEST!. The days are filled with activities from exercises to fun games to nightly movies. The Lifestyle Director, Meghan-Rose, is always creating wonderful activities so residents can choose a level of involvement that accommodates our interests. With the recent addition of Chef Christopher, he has added variety and spice to the weekly menu. Yet, at the same time offers regularity. Holly and her staff keep the apartments and common areas clean and SHINING. While Bill keeps everything running, fixes things broken, and drives the bus when needed. The 24/7 Concierge Service keeps the building safe and running so residents are comfortable to go about their daily routine. Pamela and Scott are the Live-in Managers and their leadership brings harmony to the Hudson Meadows community. When I ask if I can change something in my apartment or use the Lounge or Theater – The answer is always “This is your home.” And it truly feels like home to me.

My Mom was a founding resident and she is so grateful for this place. It is an Independent Living Facility and if you need assistance it must be private. It is still very new and the upkeep is great. The staff is very good but I’d like to see the staff longer lasting. Entertainment is fantastic always keeping her as busy as she wants to be. Residents are friendly and my Mom has many great friends. The number of residents keeps growing, for a reason, and with any growing business, they have to expand their staff which is difficult in this economic environment. But I think they are doing better than many other facilities. Food is great and I eat with my Mom all the time (on my Mom’s dime-thanks Mom!). In my opinion, this is the best facility in the area. I love that my Mom is so happy and thriving here. Thanks so much, Hudson Meadows staff!

Hudson Meadows Retirement Community
I have visited this genuinely 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 excellent, the activities are non-stop, the cleanliness is impeccable and the residents are indeed a gift, a Blessing! Hudson Meadows is overflowing with character, the good kind that is missing a lot these days. The best review I can offer is that I would love for my loved ones, and I, to make Hudson Meadows home when the time comes!

I visit Hudson Meadows periodically, to visit a long-time friend, who is a resident here. From the time I enter the building, I am always greeted with a smile from the great staff and residents alike. The facility is well taken care of, the food is great, and you feel like a large, loving family under one roof!

Mom & Dad have been enjoying their new home. Hudson Meadows has welcomed them from the start. The pleasant atmosphere and fun activities keep them moving. So nice to see Pamela & Scot(managers) are friendly and always engaging with the residents. The cleaning staff really go above and beyond to ensure that their building and individual apartments are very clean and well kept. Our family has been so happy that they found this lovely community to make memories together in their senior living years.

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 to live at HM.

Hudson Meadows is a beautiful facility. Pamela and Scott are the managers and they are so loving and caring of the residents. They take time with each and everyone of their personal needs. Each and everyone of the residents are like family to each other and the workers are all appreciated.. also, five stars goes to the Culinary department!
Angela Jozsa
Hudson Meadows Retirement Community
I used to work for a company that provided staffing to long-term care and retirement facilities. During that time, I had visited and worked with close to a hundred different residential centers in the area, and based on my experience I can confidently say that Hudson Meadows is BY FAR the best I have seen!! The facility itself is beautiful, the cleanliness is impeccable, the food is wonderful, and the activities for the residents are endless. But the absolute best part of the facility is the people who work there - the staff treats the residents like family. They are diligent, inviting, compassionate, and attentive. The managers, Pamela & Scott, put so much care into every detail and activity and provide their residents with a tremendous quality of life. If I were ever faced with the decision of finding a new home for my parents or anyone whom I love dearly, this is the place I would pick!

My wife, Carol Reid-Jozsa, is the dining room morning server and also has her hand in helping train new hires in dining hall. She has been here a couple years now. As a result, 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 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!

Wonderful place to live. No cooking. No cleaning. You can be as active or as lazy as you want to be. The activities are varied for different levels of mobility. Everyone is kind to others. The Lifestyle Director is the best. The residents are the best. The managers are the best. The facility is great. Come check us out if are considering a retirement community. Hudson Meadows is the best.

My parents recently moved into Hudson Meadows. I had the opportunity to stay in one of the guest suites and experience all that Hudson Meadows offers. Everything about this place is five stars - the people, the facilities, the food, the location and the events they plan. Everyone I spoke to was happy - residents and staff alike. The facilities are beautifully maintained and very clean. We had breakfast on site and the food was excellent with a large variety of offerings. I would encourage anyone looking for a senior living apartment to visit Hudson Meadows.

Revised:
Definitely not enjoying the alleged "resort lifestyle" living. From personal experience, get everything in writing, lies from day one.
Website photos create a nonexistent experience. Amenities are either limited, not staffed and purposely vague.
Note: most of the limited staff are extremely friendly & helpful. Special thanks to kitchen & waitstaff!
Observations:
Craftsmanship: well take a look at images I've posted, need I say more.
Free Scheduled Transportation: 100% lied to by leasing associate and temporary manager on the date of signing lease agreement. We sold a home, uprooted my disabled Mother, counting on this service. Clearly communicated location of appointments, was told no problem, absolutely we will accommodate. Recently (after asking multiple times for clarity) informed limited 10 mile radius, hours between 9am-1pm, and only Tuesday's & Thursday's. Back to paying out of pocket for transporting her, huge financial stress while spending nearly $6,000 per month on rent. Bus driver is also the maintenance guy, yes he is responsible for both. Certainly not the guy in a nice shirt & tie portrayed on the website, he's okay / responsive to service requests, something positive. Several staff members have an open joke how he hates to drive the bus, not happy on those days. Have not yet had the personal pleasure. Danny (our 2nd or 3rd manager in a matter of weeks) recently informed me a driver won't be hired until the community reaches a higher occupancy. Large corporation punishing current residents based on lack of occupancy, maybe a rate reduction is more appropriate.
Live-in Managers: none that I'm aware of, just the temporary transit manager, honestly not even sure if they live here. Told community is trying to hire. No permanent manger since we moved here.
Leasing Consultant: think property is on number four or five, open just a little over a year.
24/7 Concierge Services: false
Room Service: yep in a box, don't let website images deceive you.
Health & Wellness Programs: not staffed, shows on weekly calendar, nobody ever there.
Shopping & Outings: canceled with insincere apologies, for some less fortunate as my Mom, real humans are simply trapped here, disappointed. Shameful!! Recently some residents also endured a rent increase, shocking while lacking advertised services. Appears we are safe for 12 months, next year, who knows.
Banking Services (fee based): nonexistent
Pharmacy/Gift Shop (fee based): nonexistent, or I've heard rumors one can get medications once per week. Never seen the place open. Try Thursday's maybe? Inquire while on a tour, lights out my friends.
Salon/Barber (fee based): Friday, by appointment only.
Tableside Dining: once for Valentines, again don't let website images deceive. All buffet style. Don't attempt dinner after 6pm, likely out of main course. We keep hearing rumors that the BBQ ribs are actually good, maybe I will leave work early one day to find out for myself.
Executive Chef: not been one since we moved here. Limited budget spent on quality food. Staff makes due with what they have. Again friendly, stressed yes, but a nice group.
24-Hour Chef's Pantry: no comment
Full-time activities director: nonexistent, looks fun on website, if only true.
Garage: promised particular unit when signing contract, even received garage door opener. Unit filled with materials used for maintenance. Was promised for weeks it would be cleaned out. Community assigned me a temporary filthy & unfinished unit. Last week officially informed they are unwilling to remove materials, still waiting for an alternative. I've just gone ahead and given up.
Summary: looking for an all-inclusive resort style community, limited revolving door staff, lies, excuses and anything but luxury, look no further than Hudson Meadows.
Minimal conscience offered, knowing the enormously tough financial & medical decisions families have to make. We are actual humans not just numbers on a balance sheet.

Sadly the community (deep-seeded by corporate) lacks basic human decency. Zero respect for life or the enormous financial & medical decisions families make. We are actual humans not just numbers on a balance sheet.

Hudson Meadows Retirement Community is a very nice facility, up to date and clean. The other place I toured offers townhouses but this one has all apartments. Their amenities are very nice. They have a snack bar and the food is very good. I ate a meal there and it was also very nice. They have a nice theater. They have a nice snack bar where you go, get popcorn or anything that you want.

One day, out of the blue, my mom called from CA and told me she was ready to move to OH to be close to my family for the rest of her life. She (78 at the time) had found a place online she was sure was the one. We went to view that place and liked it but felt it wasn't the right fit for my mom knowing what she came from. My google search led me to Hudson Meadows, a brand new facility (Dec 2021). Everything about it was a perfect fit. Independent living, great food, exercise classes, a BEAUTIFUL atmosphere, a wonderful staff, our dog could visit (and dogs are allowed for residents) in a beautiful old town of Ohio with great shopping and restaurants close at hand. Resident interaction and support is strong while preserving the independent part of independent living. The tours to local businesses mean residents feel a part of their greater area and for my mom, that was huge having moved 2000 miles to this place. I could not have picked a better spot.

It's like living on a cruise ship all the time. I like everything about it. There's nothing NOT to like really. We have a 1-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and a washer/dryer - basically everything you would need. The closets are plentiful. There are tons of activities. We have happy hour twice a week, our own movie theater, there's poker night, pool night, knitting and crocheting, exercising, bible study, anything you could dream up. And it you don't see something you like, you can start it up yourself. We go on field trips too.

The Hudson Meadows has been an outstanding home for my elderly father. He isn't quite ready for assisted living, so we were looking for a home that is safe, social and has a friendly environment. Besides all of the beautiful amenities and decor, the chef is wonderful and the staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcomed. My father tells me every day how much he loves it there.

Hudson Meadows opened their doors to The Rotary Club of Hudson for our weekly meetings. The first time I toured the facility I was impressed with the amenities it provides to the residents as well as the beautiful decor. Their dining facility reminded me of a wedding reception venue and their theater top notch. The coffee and pastries served at our meetings are delicious and are a great treat to start the day.

Hudson Meadows Retirement Community stands true to its name as luxury resort lifestyle community. The beautiful building sits within one of the best communities in Northeast Ohio and boasts all of the amenities that you could imagine within an independent senior community. The grand common areas provide and welcoming atmosphere that feels like home, and the apartments inside are beautiful. If you, or your loved one, are looking for a home, a community, a family-feel, and the convenience of products and services on-site, this is the place to see!

What a great place! It's fantastic. My parents love it. They were one of the first residents and HM has exceeded their expectations. Don't miss an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of this Hudson gem, plus ground floor units have higher ceilings. :)

My mother-in-law was the first resident to move into the Hudson Meadows Retirement Community. It is an amazing facility, in a beautiful setting with many amenities. The staff is attentive, caring, and responsive. There is already a great friendly group of people enjoying their new lifestyle there and enjoying each other's company. I am grateful that my mother-in-law is living in such a good place with some good people.

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 coy 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 short of amazing.
