Meridian Senior Living

I found a place that seems to fit my needs better

This community is only about 3 years old so things are still new and in good shape very bright and cheerful. The community is very well cleaned and maintained in fact anytime I have needed the maintenance department to help me with something they have always been right there the response time is so quick. The staff overall is nice and friendly very helpful. My aunt is starting to socialize more with some of the residents. She has a private room with a private bath so that helps a lot . My aunt likes the food she has never complained about it.

We toured this community for the care for a friend. We did not like the appearance or and it did not have the atmosphere that we were looking for. My friend was not impressed. We did see a nice menu and the list of activities that are offered. We would suggest that families tour this community for the care of a loved one

We did not actually visit the place so everything is second hand. We were grateful to them for offering to hold an apartment in independent living while my father-in-law took time to recover in assisted living from his recent fall. As it turned out he left after 3 days and went back to his apartment and is doing just fine getting around with a cane. He had a list of grievances. I think the primary one was that the people in the assisted living section were not friendly. The whole point of him living in one of these places was to have easy social access to other seniors. I think the mistake Atria made was in not taking him to the independent living area for meals so that he could be meeting others more like him.

We toured the community. The other residents were not active. They were not able to assist us with what we were needing financially.The community appeared to be clean and activities did not look available at the time of the tour. We suggest other families tour the community for the care of a family member.

People are nice but it needs updates bathrooms looked very worn and needed cleaning

The Manager of this facility was wonderful to speak with & have me the full tour. They are presently going through a redecoration, so the lobby was on the bare side, & felt cavernous & very busy with people coming & going. Also, because the entire area was marble tile, it was noisey . I felt as if I'd entered a huge hotel, which unfortunately was not what we were looking for. On the plus side, they have a PT center, salon, arts&crafts studio on premises. The staff was very friendly, the apartments were adequate, but due to its being a high rise, it was just too large in general, for my mom.

no memory care at this site

The only apt. available is too small. Does have w/d. Nice location. Three meals included in price.

I was there today.parking is a problem. They have only 20 assisted living rooms, the rest are independent,that means you are responsible for all the laundry. aside from meals and trips, I feel my husband could not stay there alone and I would be responsible for everything else,or else hire someone to assist him

Place was nice and staff friendly.

Nice place. Felt a bit regimented. Staff friendly overall. Out of all I have seen, had the least impressive rooms. Cable not included.

Love the one bedroom, was a great size.

Very nice facility but does not have nursing home facility in the case of rehab or more skilled care.

It was an okay tour. The community felt isolated with not a lot of shopping centers nearby. The apartments were smaller than other communities we looked at and the value didn't seem as good to us.

Left overs for supper? They served lasagna from 2-3 days ago and it was so bad that some of the residents ate dried breakfast cereal instead. Food seems to be an after thought by their new manager. All worried about cutting costs for corporate's bottom line. I have been cooking meals for my mother just so she doesn't go hungry. For $4700/month she should be getting 3 high quality meals per day. No one seems to care.

My mom was a resident for 2 1/2 Years .. she was there for safety and daily care... as time wore on, aging and dementia took over.. recently she got out of the facility through a back door, and fell down a hill ( at 3AM) luckily there were no injuries and she returned to her apartment... she tried again, and wee were informed “ they couldn’t handle her” ( 92 yo, 122 lbs.. we started efforts to transfer her, and a day later they called us to say they were going to call the police to calm her down!! What kind of “ Caring “ facility threatens patients like that?? What kind of staff is left in charge there??? It has gone downhill since Meridian took over— but this needs to be looked at.

The Assisted Living residences are great and caregivers are plenty and very helpful. Sadly, when your parent goes to Memory Care (Generations at Cypress) there is one staff member usually on duty for a few hours when all 25+ residents are downstairs. We’ve seen residents on the floor (fallen) as well yelling for help without assistance. They will pull any extra caregivers from Generations to go to Assisted Living area severely leaving Generations understaffed but then Management charges more for rent due to hiring more caregivers that never come to Generations but are used solely in the Assisted Living section. It’s odd. They do have good activities and special events. However, for daily residents and for meals in Generations resident are not reminded or checked in due to their understaffing. Sometimes just a knock on their door and a voice from the other side stating “Dinner”. The supply charges and daily assistant charges are erroneous. They miss showers and don’t wake residents for breakfast because of lack of staffing. It just needs a huge overhaul and more solid direction. Bottom line... I would recommend the Independent and Assisted Living but no way would I trust my loved one in their memory care.

I have been looking for sometime for a good place for my mother. I have an Aunt there and I can only visit with her on Fridays and Weekends. I was very happy to see the Catholic Priest there saying Mass and then later working in the Activities along with the Friday party time. Never saw a Priest with so much energy. Meals were OK and that staff really worked hard at meal time trying to get things out for the residents, even with them being short of help. However I saw a lot of negative things there. Staff on their cell phones all the time, not really caring about the residents. One time my wife and I came in to see our Aunt in the evenings and there was NO Nursing available. We were told they were outside on smoke break. This is not acceptable. I asked one nurse where could I find assistance for my aunt and she said, she did not know and had NO time for me. She was very rude. They should fire her, I know since I own a business I should would. I could go on but I will not. I have told my Cousins what has happened and they are looking for a new caring facility. I am trying to find out the company who owns them and write them directly, but as all big companies are they would not do anything about it other than raise the rent which they have 3 times on my Aunt. This company is only looking for the money and not the care. I would not put my dog here. If it was me......I WOULD STAY AWAY from the Meadowlands.

The food they serve is often too spicy, cold or hard to eat, like tacos or bone in chicken. My aunt says portions are small and never any corn, carrots, or peas. Only broccoli and brussel sprouts. Rarely any fruit is served. How can they charge so much to stay there and give out so little and unnutritious food? Would not recommend this place. People who have trouble eating don't even get assistance. They must be going hungry. Sad.
