Meridian is such a beautiful, clean, top quality residence for senior living! The care team is wonderful & goes over & beyond the call of duty. They know everyones name, including apartment numbers! They have several physicians who come on a weekly basis, and will see us residents in the privacy of our own apartment. The restaurant is on the top floor which has breathtaking views of the intracoastal & the Atlantic Ocean! The top floor also includes a bar that’s open daily for socializing, as well as an outdoor grilling area + a private dining room for families to gather together for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The chef is a fantastic & will cook meals according to special dietary needs or personal preferences. They always have some very fun & interesting daily activities, a movie theater & off site excursions. Meridian acknowledges that FTL is a melting pot of many cultures, ethnicities, & orientation. They celebrate diversity & as a gay man, my friends & I appreciate it greatly!... Read more

This facility is not great. The corporation pays staff nothing and as a result the employees are not skilled. The new management is making necessary changes so hopefully things will improve.

The Community has always had caring people working and caring for the residents. However the Meridian was Woefully lacking in leadership. I was ready to find another facility until the Meridian Hired [name removed]to be the Director. Also Meridian Hired Dawn to be the director of Nursing staff and [name removed] the memory care director has made Meridian no longer Mediocre but is striving to be GREAT!

We toured The Meridian at Waterways during our search for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. This facility was very nice and similar to another facility in the area that we toured and liked. However, there were no balconies in the units and only windows that you cannot see out of when seated on a couch, for example. The sales staff was super and the follow up was just what I would hope to get.

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.

My grandma falls here frequently. No one answers the phone. I have witnessed staff yell at her. Looks nice from first glance. You can put lipstick on a pig.....

Thank you letter written to [name removed] Hello [name removed], Thank you for all that you and your staff are doing to keep the residents safe during the Pandemic. I also want to thank you for the special help during [name removed]'s move from AL to Memory Care by [name removed] who handled the details to move [name removed] last Tuesday, [date removed]. [name removed] has been a pleasure to work with during this most important move from AL to Memory Care, assuring me she would take care of [name removed]'s move on my behalf because neither myself nor my Geriatric Care Manager were allowed to be on hand for [name removed]'s move to MC due to COvid-19. [name removed] handled the details very professionally, thoroughly, carefully and skillfully. [name removed] followed through with all details she advised would be taken care of during and after the move. During 53 years of marriage to [name removed], I have always handled every detail of our local and international moves so you can imagine my concerns about not being able to take care of his important move to MC. It was important to make [name removed]'s hew home in his Memory Care Unit as close as possible to his prior AL Unit to enable [name removed]'s to keep a routine. I am impressed with [name removed]'s attention to detail in her handling of the Majestic Relocation Moving Company and the placement of all [name removed]'s furnishings so that the transition could be the best possible for [name removed]'s. I am grateful that [name removed] kept me informed about the completion of the move with photos of his furnished MC Unit affirming that [name removed] can follow his routine much like before in his AL Unit. [name removed] is an asset to The Meridian at Waterways. I thank you and [name removed] for providing the expert handling of [name removed]'s move to Memory Care. Sincerely, [name removed]

A Place for Mom has scored The Meridian at Waterways 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
