The Meadows is a member of several organizations:

​
The Meadows is a 105-bed replacement facility designed around a resident-centered care philosophy. The facility has emphasized durability and functionality without comprising comfort, accessibility or resident well-being, and consists of smaller, residential scale ‘house’ areas with private rooms, neighborhood living/dining and integrated nursing support spaces. Individual home areas are connected through the Town Square – a large internal street concept with multi-purpose room, chapel, vending machines, hair salon and clinical and administrative services. Smaller and larger group activities alike are accommodated on the internal streetscape with views to neighboring horse pastures from a large external courtyard off the multi-purpose room.

​

Successful design features of the Meadows include the open concept kitchen/dining/living room in the resident houses which provides good visibility for staff and residents while maintaining a residential scale, year-round access and views to landscaped courtyards through large picture windows and the enhanced way-finding and unique sense of place created through the use of unique Nova Scotia artwork themes used throughout the facility.
