Meridian Senior Living

The care givers were excellent and very good with my mom. The facility and amenities are excellent. The food was very good, and activities appeared to be fun and appropriate. I say appeared because my mother didn't participate. I would recommend to others.

I toured Cypress Place and it was a good tour. The staff and overall friendliness was very good. The cleanliness was very good, also. Ultimately, we decided on another facility in the area.

We have had a good experience with The Meridian at Brandon for our loved one. We are pleased with all the services they offer for our loved one. The staff communication is very good when the family has questions or concerns about our loved one and the staff are responsive. The Meridian serves three meals a day for the residents. There are multiple options for meals, and they offer all day dining options.

I think it's a nice place overall. I like the activities that they have - concerts, etc. Some of the activities have an extra fee, but I think it's worth it overall.

Our family had an in person tour and the community itself seemed really ice and it was a good second choice. However the room that was available for our loved one was at the very end of the corridor and it just seemed dark to us and not as bright and welcoming.

I did rate quality of care a 4, and wanted to add that overall quality of care is excellent, just not always as consistent from day to day as it could be.

If your parent has more of their faculties, I think this could be a great place. It is full of activities and vibrancy. It's a very social environment. But if your parent is in the advanced stages of dementia like mine was, I'm not sure this is the place for them. I think my father could have been redirected in better ways, and I'm not sure their staff was prepared for or capable of handling him in the best way. There were also some issues with billing, and we were only there for a month. We were overbilled, and it took quite a while to get a refund.

It looked nice and was great. It was more expensive but had more space. It was clean, and the staff was friendly.

The facility is beautiful and they have really good medical staff. The sales ladies especially are amazing. The only problems is they keep having issues with getting medications ordered and they are short on staff. Some times the food is amazing, and sometimes it is not good at all. The kitchen manager is great and they just hired a new chef, so I think it will get better. It is a new facility and they are working on these issues, I think there will improvements made soon.

I toured this facility and wasn't crazy about the Memory Care Unit. The Memory Care unit was very sad looking. People were in wheelchairs, slumped over. But the facility was very pretty and the Assisted Living side tour was nice.

Claremont Place is a very nice and clean community that is very well maintained and for what we pay our loved one has a lot of space. The staff members seem to be very nice. However just due to our loved ones physical impairments and skill set the activities are not adequate for him since they are mostly visual activities. We also wish our loved one received more physical exercises - they have him down as a flight risk and so to keep him from falling he does not get much physical exercise but we wish they would try different things to get him physical exercise while still keeping him safe .

I think that MerryWood on Park It is a great place. They take great care of my loved one. They are so empowering to the residents. It has been a great experience for my loved one. My loved on likes meeting meeting people and becoming friends. That is one of the things we liked about MerryWood on Park. My loved one is really engaged in the activities and there are a lot of them. She attends the parties and events that are held there at the facility. The majority of the time the meals are great, but there have been times when they do a buffet and my loved one does not care for the buffet style meal.

The Peninsula is a smaller facility and is not as open as some of the larger places we looked at. The staff were all very nice and pleasant to work with and the facility itself was clean. We just felt this was not the best fit for our loved one and her specific needs.

This facility is kept very clean. They try to be attentive, but it seems like they are very short staffed. My major issue right now is housekeeping. It's supposed to be weekly, but not being done weekly or even consistently. I've had to talk to management about it a few times now, sometimes it's taken care of and done after that and sometimes it's not. Communication with the family is just ok. The food is pretty good overall, I'd say 70% of the time. There have been some mix ups with getting the correct order delivered and dinner has been delayed/an hour late a few times. Until recently, I would say yes that I would recommend them to family and friends. But now, I'm not sure. Mainly because of the housekeeping and staffing issues. There are definitely changes that need to be made.

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

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.
