Us
Meadowbrook
Manor opened its doors in April 1984 and has become an established home
for men and women who choose to no longer live alone or can no longer
live safely in their own home. We provide assistance where needed, proper
nutrition and social interaction, in a safe home-like environment, with
respect for their individuality.
The State
of New York Department of Health Adult Services certified Meadowbrook
Manor as an adult care facility and routinely evaluates our performance
and adherance to the State guidelines. These reports are available upon
request.
We are
located in Hannibal, New York - about 8 miles west of Oswego, 6 miles
north of Fulton and 40 miles north of Syracuse - just off Route 104
or Route 3.

The
Owners
Susan
and Donald Dodd purchased and assumed responsibility of Dulin’s
Adult Home in September 1983. Recognizing the continuing need for
adult care, in the Hannibal and surrounding areas, and the difficulty
maintaining an aging structure, they built Meadowbrook Manor Adult
Care Facility.
Sue
was a resident aide for Mrs. Dunlin, before becoming a Licensed Practical
Nurse. Don is also a LPN, as well as an EMT with the Oswego Fire Department.
Although they are no longer involved in the day to day activities
at Meadowbrook, they do closely monitor the comings and goings through
contact with the administrator, our monthly activity calendar, newsletter
to families and notes from the resident/staff meetings.
The
Staff
Meadowbrook
has one of the best staffs to be found anywhere, but then my opinion
may be biased. It is well understood that no one aspect of resident
care is any more important than another, therefore we work very well
as a team. . . Including Mascot "Esther Elizabeth" our adorable
dog who is enjoyed by all.
The
Resident Aides are trained through an in house orientation
program. Although the state does not require adult care to have certified
nurses aides, most of ours are. Those that aren’t have at least 6
years experience in an adult care setting or have cared for a family
member at home, that required the same type care as our residents.
Our
Cooks like to cook. Most of our meals are home style, so having
families to cook for they know quite well what they are doing. They
also enjoy trying new recipes, including old family or favorite recipes
of the residents.
We have on staff, also, Health Care Coordinator. Our backgrounds include medical/surgical, geriatric and mental health experience as Licensed Practical Nurses. Although most of the Health Care Coordinator’s responsibilities, in the adult care setting, is documentation, there is always a Health Care Coordinator available to assist in addressing a resident’s or staff’s concern.
The
Activity Coordinator arranges, organizes and runs many activities
at Meadowbrook Manor and out in the community. Besides her efforts,
she has an endless list of volunteers that touch our lives and lift
our spirits throughout the year.
