CLEARLAKE, Calif. — The Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting for the Meadowood Nursing Center under the new owner, Aaron Edmonds.

Edmonds owns one other nursing center in Vacaville. He loves the small-town atmosphere of Lake County and the caring staff here at Meadowood.

The new administrator is Jean Parriott who has been employed for over 19 years and started her career through the Certified Nurse Assistant Program at Meadowood.

Her dedication to her patients and staff earned a department head position which led to her current position as administrator.

Meadowood has been home to the CNA Program for years. This partnership through the Lake County Office of Education and the Ukiah Nursing School, has educated many future nurses.

The Student Volunteer Program, before the Covid outbreak, provided opportunities for local high schools to receive a valuable education in the nursing field.

One such student is Nicole Giordanego who earned many volunteer hours and is now their new admission coordinator.

Meadowood is a 99-bed facility, located in the city of Clearlake at 3805 Dexter Lane. They opened their doors on Valentine Day in 1992.

This center offers a family friendly atmosphere, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, as well as providing transportation to their patients when needed. You can reach their Admission Coordinator Nicole at 707-994-7738, Extension 123.
