Meridian Senior Living

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think that they are very good people. they really seem to care about the residents, the facility is always kept clean. they're really trying to help our loved one settle in. overall we are very happy with Chapel Hill Senior Living.
