The Basics
All individuals will have closet space and a dresser for clothing and personal items. We prefer valuable items be left at home, however we do have a small safe, if necessary. The Meadows Malibu will provide bedding, blankets, towels, and washcloths. Our residents also have access to washers and dryers for personal use (laundry soap will be provided). The Meadows Malibu encourages family and friends to send cards and letters during your stay. Due to confidentiality laws, upon your arrival, you must sign a consent to receive mail from the sender(s).
