Meadowlark Hills hosted its second-ever Culture Story Contest this year. The purpose of this contest was to gather residents, family, staff and stakeholder’s stories that speak to the uniqueness of Meadowlark Hills and how person-directed care has changed their thoughts on what it means to age. The winners of the two categories were announced at the March Town Meeting.
