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.

Caring people working

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!

Caring, clean, beautiful atmosphere.

There is always somebody there to answer questions for you, you’re never left alone, there’s aids walking the floor, there’s a nursing station, there’s a reading room, they’re separate dining rooms, food is always nutritious, hot and ready. I highly recommend meridian at waterways

Very nice!

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.

Would Highly Recommend

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.

Thank you letter written to [name removed]

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]
