Who We Are

Four Decades of Compassionate Service

Rooted in Compassion.
Guided by Family.

At The Meadows at Cypress Gardens, we believe that exceptional senior living begins with heartfelt connection. For over 80 years, we’ve remained family-owned and operated, proudly serving the Winter Haven community with one clear purpose: to care for others with dignity, respect, and compassion.

Our legacy is built on relationships – between caregivers and residents, staff and families, heart and home.

A Family-Owned
Tradition of Care

More than four decades of dedicated service have shaped The Meadows into what it is today: a trusted, nurturing environment where residents feel seen, supported, and genuinely at home. Our values haven’t changed—we treat every resident like one of our own.

Why Winter Haven Feels Like Home!

A Legacy Rooted in Sunshine & Spirit

Founded in the early 20th century, Winter Haven grew from citrus groves and train stops into a flourishing Florida destination. It became world-renowned not only for its chain of sparkling lakes and water ski history, but also as a spring training hub for legends like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays.

The citrus empire, led by pioneers like John A. Snively, once powered the state’s economy and helped shape the community’s identity. Today, echoes of that golden era remain—from the preserved Magnolia Mansion on Lake Eloise to the welcoming downtown filled with history, art, and timeless small-town pride. For many, Winter Haven isn’t just a retreat—it’s a place where history, nature, and neighborly warmth live on.

The Meadows has been around for a long time and I’ve had several loved ones there at different times. The facility has everything you need and is currently being updated. I believe a facility is a reflection from the top down and that’s what’s important to me. The administrator cares about each and every resident and employs the staff with expectations of the same. Their priority is the health and safety of each resident and their quality of life. No place is perfect but at the Meadows any concern is addressed and they will work with you or take stress from you if need be. I feel very comfortable when I am there. Cheerfully greeted and acknowledged. It feels like family. I know my loved one is being taken care of.

I have visited residents at The Meadows for ten years and it is always a warm welcoming community. Residents receive excellent care right in their home at The Meadows. Recently, they’ve updated the decor and it’s even more inviting. If you are considering assisted living, I highly recommend touring The Meadows.

This is a hidden gem in Winter Haven. Quietly tucked away right off Cypress Gardens for access to shopping and restaurants. It's a beautiful community that is continuing to update with caring staff that welcome you with warmth. Make sure you see Lesley for a tour...you're going to love her zest for life and compassion for seniors!

The staff are friendly and show genuine interest and care. The facility is clean and doesn't smell like a hospital, it smells like a home. The food is great no one is going hungry here.
