Recreational Therapy at Big Meadows


A wide variety of recreational opportunities are provided daily, including evenings, weekends and holidays. Community outings to parks, restaurants, shops and shows are an important part of each month's calendar of activities. Other programs include outside gardens, church services, crafts, cards, games, cooking, social hours, picnics, bingo, bowling, Nintendo Wii and many other special events.

Respite Care and Hospice Care


Big Meadows provides respite services for short-term stays to accommodate vacations or just to give caregivers a well-deserved break. Big Meadows' Respite Services provides reassurance and the peace of mind that comes from knowing that a loved one is well cared for. Big Meadows contracts with several area Hospice agencies, who provide additional supportive care and medical interventions.
