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 pool which is nice, and an indoor pool. They have a nice snack bar where you go, get popcorn or anything that you want.

Hudson Meadows is a brand-new facility that just opened up before Christmas, I believe. They are only at 9% occupancy when we visited, so it was a little tougher to gauge the feel of the place because there was just nobody around. The place was huge, and it was more catered to a vacation-style living. If you did not know you are in an independent living facility, you would think you are on a cruise ship. When you walk in, they have a double-story, open, glass-encased entrance hall with a water feature. They have a game room, a little store, and a big theater that they also let the local community use. The local middle school even had a spelling bee in there, which also entertained the residents. To me, that's kind of cool. They have beautiful rooms, a beautiful dining area, and it was just absolutely a stunning facility. I believe they also have reciprocal unit buildings all over the United States that you could use when you travel. Like if you go to Arizona, they have guest suites that you can stay in for nothing, which I think was really neat. They only offer independent living. They are very friendly and probably a little over-the-top pushy, but I understand that they are struggling to get residents. You will just feel slightly pressured there. The staff was nice. I just didn't meet that many. There was just really nobody around except the woman showing us around.
