Brookdale Meridian Westland

I did a virtual tour with Brookdale and I really liked it. The lady who took me around on the phone made me feel like I was actually there at the facility and did a great job. The only reason we did not choose this one was because my dad did not care for the location.

We have not been able to socialize much yet because of covid but I think they have done a fabulous job of keeping residents safe and we all just got our vaccines. We have been able to go to the dining room recently, it is open for lunch and dinner for some people. This facility has a lot of walking paths and things like that so you do not have to go out on public streets which is very nice. It is also beautiful scenery. I would recommend to others looking.

It's a friendly and homey place. We chose this community because of price, location, and my research suggested that Brookdale was highly rated. I would recommend this community to other families. The food was above average and they offered a variety. The staff were friendly, proactive,and responsive.

Liked the walk out from the 2BR, liked that there is a tub. The kitchen looked small, but at least a full kitchen. Wished the tour included more of the common areas, the outdoor spaces; I need to follow up.

It has been tough because we haven't been able to visit my dad. The community has been overly strict with lock down which has had a negative affect on my dad. The residents are not allowed to co-mingle either and no outside visitors of any kind. We chose this community because it seemed very nice, clean, everyone was engaging and active, and my dad liked it. He likes his apartment.

This facility is beautiful. The staff is really caring and the meals are awesome! They always have activities and my Mother is kept as busy as she wants to be. She is really making a lot of friends which keeps her very involved.

[name removed] was very informative. Great tour. I felt very relaxed their. I was excited to hear about there green ware ceramics, [name removed] use to teach these type of classes in her home. She also is very involved with jewelry making and they have some type of that there along with painting. [name removed] would enjoy the jewelry making as well since he make men's as well as citing and polishing gems. [name removed] is an accordion player. He use to play in many bands and travel around the state. He would totally enjoy the polka music when it comes for a concert there. The loves all kind of music. I spoke with a few residents there and it just feels like the right fit for them. It is less than 5 miles from our home which is a huge plus as well.

Nice place. They seemed to have the option for move someone into nursing, but my Aunt [Removed] felt it wasn't very clean. Didn't find out about pharmaceutical on the site.

I had recently taken a tour of this community for my mother and I was pleased with the presentation that we had received. The staff where kind and where patient with all of our questions. They had a spacious dinning room as well common area spaces. I thought they had a nice floor plan and a lot of great amenities for the residents it was just not the right fit in the end decision for her.

I thought the staff where very friendly to me during my tour I had taken of this community and made sure to answer any questions I had for them. It was just way to big of a property and I thought it was very crowded. The city is located in was also not my favorite. Its a very small cramped town. In the end decision I just decided it was not for me and I wanted something a little smaller and not so busy.

The care at this community is wonderful. The staff is caring. The staff is very friendly and attentive to her needs. My mom is hoping that the menu will improve over time. I am very happy knowing that my mom is active with the other residents. We would recommend this community for the care of a loved one.

I used to work in a similar Independsnt Living facility and knew what to expect "from the inside". My parents are enjoying the Meridian. The residents and staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is a big life change, as they have also given up driving their own car and rely on the van transportation, which includes waiting on both ends and the loss of instant freedom to go where they want when they want. However, they agree it is for the good. There are plenty of stores, doctors and all services available within the 5 mile transportation area. Their main complaint was that the food was so good when they moved in, but their chef quit (lots of kitchen turnover in the last year according to residents), and now Meridian has chosen to get by without a chef and have the regular staff do the cooking. I have found the meals acceptable, but not as good as before. This is a common complaint at ANY facility like this. (The kitchen staff work like dogs and aren't paid that much, so many chefs often move on.) The building is safe, clean and beautiful. There are interesting activities and entertainment; more than they can even participate in. The handyman fixes everything in a timely fashion and the staff is very responsive, kind, patient and helpful. I would highly recommend this place if your parents aren't thriving any longer. They will eat better, get more exercise and human interaction, as well as become part of a community instead of becoming more isolated. It is expensive, but was one of the more affordable in my area. Sometimes you can negotiate on price. Good luck, and ask for a free 2 night trial stay! I had my parents do a trial stay 10 years ago and it took the fear out of the move for them. FYI-This is a popular place, and you most likely will be on a waiting list.

Everything went quite smoothly with The Meridian. We were impressed with the kitchen and the food and it was all very good. Overall we are really happy with the place and my loved one is happy with it too.

I find it very nice here at The Meridian. I have not been here very long. I do really like it though. It is so friendly and organized. The food is okay sometimes but other times it is not. Most of the residents are discouraged with the food. They have a lot of activities here. I haven't been able to utilize them yet but look forward to. I would recommend this facility to anyone.

We have only been in there for about a month, and so far things have been really good. We are very happy. The staff are all great, very friendly and welcoming. We like the kind of activities that they have. We are still in the process of getting acclimated, but so far things have been great.

They have gone the extra mile with us. They have gone above and beyond to provide the care for my father. They have done very well with providing us with information on services we had no idea existed.

The Meridian has been fine. It's clean, and the staff is friendly. I haven't had any complaints or concerns, so far. I'm pretty happy with them. I would give them a five.

The place is kind of hilly and it’s hard to push a wheel chair, but my dad likes it a lot. The place is clean and the staff keeps an eye on him. I would recommend it to others. I feel at ease knowing that my dad is taken care of and I know that he likes it here.

the over all property is a 4 star property it is very very nice the staff is great the facility is clean inside and outside i gave the cleanliness a rating of a 4 i gave the friendliness a rating of a 5 they are very friendly there and its value to me is a 4 star rating

They are doing an awesome job so far. It's perfect for her, I don't have any complaints, about food or anything. They are keeping her active. She is very happy there, I was worried about the adjustment, and I was afraid it would be hard on her, but it's working out well so far.
