Meridian Senior Living

I think everything is going fine. My Mother is the one that is living there and according to her she is being treated well and loves the place, the staff, and the residents.

Villas of Holly Brook is great place. They are very friendly here and willing to help. Mom doesn't participate in many activities yet but they have plenty to choose from. This facility is very clean. I am really pleased with everything here.

Everyone we came in contact with at the Meadowlands have been wonderful. Very compassionate and understanding of what we were going through. They made every step of the way so much easier to handle. And we have seen nothing but kindness and caring with all of the residents. The place is close, homey, like your family.

I think there could be more activities for people like my mom who are hard of hearing and have difficulty with their vision. They do a lot of activities going on but my mom can't participate in things like movie night, bingo, Wii bowling activities and stuff like that her main complaint is she's bored which I've told her is not really that bad of a complaint. After she was settled in we took her to look at other place and she realized that she liked it here best. The staff is wonderful. They really look after their resident and they get to know them personally. I think it's the best in the area. The residents are all about the same physical ability. The ones that need a little more care (wheelchair bound) are in another wing. They have a lovely courtyard garden area that she walks everyday. She's definitely in the right place.

They are very personable and friendly. They seem like they really care. It is more of a big family feeling than a business. I felt comfortable there. The dining area for the assisted living area is more like a restaurant than a cafeteria. They have a great variety of food. Even the memory care unit has 2 choices for eating. I love that they have a full Mass every Friday. That is important.

It's closer to my house and has fire proof walls, it's more expensive a month but if someone has difficulty walking I would suggest north bay and if your parent or anyone needs rehab I would recommend them because they have rehab on site so they can get rehab and then go back to their apartment.

MY DAD LIVED AT ATRIA MERRYWOOD FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND LOVED IT THERE. HE LIVED IN THE INDEPENDENT LIVING AREA AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP HIS BELOVED DOG WITH HIM, WHICH WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM AND TO US. THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT, ACTIVITIES WERE GREAT AND THEY HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO DOCTORS AND GROCERY STORES - ALSO HAVE ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY LIKE TRIPS TO THE ART MUSEUM AND TO BROADWAY LIGHTS SHOWS IN TOWN. THE STAFF IS VERY GOOD AND CARING AND IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE WITH GENERAL HOUSE KEEPING YOU CAN HIRE ONE OF THE GREAT AGENCIES THEY PARTNER WITH TO HELP OUT ON EVEN A QUARTER HOUR A WEEK IF NEEDED, BUT 1/2 HOUR OR ONE HOUR PER WEEK TO HELP. IT IS A GREAT PLACE. I RECOMMEND IT.

Atria Merrywood is the perfect place for my Mom. Both staff and residents are very friendly and respectful. Her apartment is very generous in size, however there is limited storage. The grounds and the common spaces are beautiful and well maintened. There was some confusion in the begining due to change in staff ( sales force), but was soon corrected.

I have my own room with microwave, refrigerator, bathroom with shower, and large TV and internet connection. I have a pager I carry to use if I need help. Meals are served at 7am- 11am and a 4pm in a common dining room and this gives me a chance to meet other residents. I enjoy the bingo with other on Monday and Fridays, the monthly special dinners, the special entrainments events and they daily chances to talk with others.

They are very happy here and love the staff!

The employees have treated me very good. The food is satisfactory. The housekeeping is very good. Thankful that my husband and I can be here together.

Staff is usually friendly. Meals are normally pretty good. Could use more staff at times.

My overall experience is good at Smithfield Woods.

Nice place to live. Always activies to keep us busy.

Meals are great. Cleanliness is acceptable. Staff is friendly. The only complaint is that sometimes overworked staff has a problem getting to the resident in a timely manner.

Generally good facility. I would recommend. They treat everyone pretty well. No complaints from me. I really enjoy the dinner clubs they have monthly and I go on a few of the outings as well! Overall I would give a B+.

I would recommend anyone to Smithfield Woods friendly staff.

My mom has been in this community for over six months. It's not perfect but what place is. I can tell you my mom is a person that's very hard to please yet this place has really earned her appreciation in most aspects. It starts from the top, the director and the marketing specialist are always buzzing around, are involved and attentive to detail. They set the high bar for the community. Whenever there's an event, you will see them greeting everyone but also serving food or drinks and speaking to the residents and their visitors. The nursing director makes sure that the caregivers and medtechs put safety and comfort of each and every resident. She is kind and concerned and always willing to help. The caregivers are young, motivated people that have been screened well in hiring. There is some turnover, but it's not great. The food is pretty good with many choices that she can chew easily. Overall, this place is a very good caring community. We consider ourselves blessed to be here!

The location is wonderful and the views of Fort Lauderdale are amazing. The apartments are spacious. The staff is very helpful and patient with their residents. Also the food is tasty and I like they offer additional options if the set menu for lunch and dinner is not something the resident would like to eat. Yes I would and have recommended the community to others

What we like the most about the community is the friendliness and yes we would recommend Brookstone of Aledo to other families based on the experience so far.
