Meridian Senior Living

The people are what really make MerryWood on Park amazing - it is a great community.

We picked this community because, it was closer to other relatives, and more convient. My loved one likes to particpitate in Bingo. They sometimes like the food. The staff is friendly. The only issues is with calling, and not always getting a call back or receiving responses from management in a timely manne. My loved one is not always getting showers on time and the sheets are not being changed on regular basis.

it's a beautiful, brand new place. It's clean. It's not crowded. The staff are pleasant. I was very happy with it initially. My loved one was doing very well in the beginning. She was walking better, and she was well taken care of and clean. But then she fell and broke her hip. They told me she fell while she was playing ball, which I don't think they should have allowed due to her compromised vision in one eye. And since that injury, her health and life is now forever altered. So if your loved one is relatively mobile and physically able, it could be a good place. But maybe not if their situation is more compromised.

The nurses and aides are very good! The aides work with my mom a lot. Their physical therapy is good. Housekeeping could be improved somewhat. I would recommend them to family and friends.

This is a great facility! Their biggest problem is paying the aides. The aides make more money with temp agencies, which is sad. But I know that's a problem everywhere. Mom is definitely doing better here than she was at the other facility. She's even been participating in some of the activities. They have an activities schedule, but the director left and someone is filling in. Right now it's a hit or miss, but I understand. The facility is clean, never smells. The food is perfectly fine and restaurant style. Mom likes that she can order something else if she doesn't like what she is served. I would recommend them to friends and family!

They've had two changes in local management staff over past few months. Didn't go well at first, but now showing sign of improvement in operations. This is a nice facility, well kept. They have been accommodating & work hard to try to meet specific needs. Food has been an issue, but have hired a new cook who shows promise.

It was a difficult search for a place for my sister who had not accepted that she should not longer live alone in her home. The search stopped at Chevy Chase House with the varied apartment designs that made the transition from a house a bit easier> Every encounter with my sales person [name removed] was professional and planned to suit our needs. I found the staff to be more than accommodating in our decision making process and available to answer all concerns while welcoming us to as many visits that we needed to make an informed decision. The Culinary Institute of America trained chef makes sure each meal is not only delicious but also nutritious. The residents are given freedom to choose what they will eat and the dining facility is white table cloth and staffed by a very gracious serving staff. It appears that every staff member, not matter the position, must learn each resident's name and many also know who I am. The operative words seems to be accommodating and kindness.

The Meridian is a good place despite some minor problems. For instance, they have an interim director right now, among some other small concerns. But no place is perfect, and that would be the case anywhere. It's a smaller facility and feels like a true community. They definitely try to accommodate wants and needs. It's a beautiful place right on the water. The rooms are nice, and it's clean. It doesn't feel like an assisted living place. They also have a lot of nice activities, including things outside the norm like casino night, live entertainment, and they even put on a pony show once.

It was a very lovely place seemed to be well taken care of.

I do not have much to compare it to, but overall I think that it is a good space for encouraging socialization. They have quite a bit of good activities offered for the residents. She has not been thrilled with the quality of the meals. It is an encouraging place for residents and their families. I would recommend The Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting to others looking.

It's a really beautiful place. If your loved one is fairly easy going and willing to participate in things, then it might be a great place for them. If your loved one is more hesitant and has higher care needs, then it's too big of a place and not enough people that really want to do the care that they need to be doing.

This is a nice place and a good option for your loved one to live. The staff communication with the family pretty good. My loved one likes the meals; however, about twice a month the meals seem to be inedible for my loved one. The residents do have options to choose from and the staff try to be accommodating towards the residents meals as well.

I toured Harbor Village and they did not have very much, as far as assisted living. They offer it, but only at a very low level. My loved one needed more care than what they could provide. For people who don't need a considerable amount of assistance, this would probably be a good place. If she would've moved there, it's almost as if I would've had to move in with her.

I regularly visit my elderly cousin in the villa and have been impressed with the friendliness, care, and compassion shown by the majority of the staff there. They work to make the residents lives there as agreeable as possible. I really appreciate them.

Friendly helpful staff, beautiful building.

The issue I have is when I call for the nurses station to speak with someone there, they do not answer the phone. This has happened several times, & call at times when they are not dispensing meds.

This is a very warm and cozy community with very nice apartments. They could improve their entertainment and activities for the residents. I do not feel like they are very challenging but we are still transitioning over to this community so hoping the activities will change also. The staff are also great and very warm they have been so welcoming and nice with my loved one. They have activities like short story time, and different lectures but there are not a lot of intellectual activities like my loved one is looking for.

I would recommend it but there are some staffing challenges they are working through. Overall I am pleased with it. Which is why my loved one is still there. The staff is very responsive when you bring things to their attention. My loved one said the food is somewhat bland and would enjoy some more options to choose from. The resident involved activities seem very repetitious. They don't have a lot of choices. The choices she does have, she isn't interested in. The movie night goes to the loudest resident picking the movie, versus a scheduled movie to watch. It's the same movie over and over.

There are some design flaws that make it difficult for residents with walkers and wheelchairs to get around their own apartments as well as the facility. They offer a lot of different kinds of activities such as violist coming in to perform, different clubs for things such as poker, corn hole, excursions throughout the city to go to museums and shopping, etc. The meals are good with a variety of options.
