Meridian Senior Living

It's closer to my house and has fire proof walls, it's more expensive a month but if someone has difficulty walking I would suggest north bay and if your parent or anyone needs rehab I would recommend them because they have rehab on site so they can get rehab and then go back to their apartment.

MY DAD LIVED AT ATRIA MERRYWOOD FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND LOVED IT THERE. HE LIVED IN THE INDEPENDENT LIVING AREA AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP HIS BELOVED DOG WITH HIM, WHICH WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM AND TO US. THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT, ACTIVITIES WERE GREAT AND THEY HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO DOCTORS AND GROCERY STORES - ALSO HAVE ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY LIKE TRIPS TO THE ART MUSEUM AND TO BROADWAY LIGHTS SHOWS IN TOWN. THE STAFF IS VERY GOOD AND CARING AND IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE WITH GENERAL HOUSE KEEPING YOU CAN HIRE ONE OF THE GREAT AGENCIES THEY PARTNER WITH TO HELP OUT ON EVEN A QUARTER HOUR A WEEK IF NEEDED, BUT 1/2 HOUR OR ONE HOUR PER WEEK TO HELP. IT IS A GREAT PLACE. I RECOMMEND IT.

Atria Merrywood is the perfect place for my Mom. Both staff and residents are very friendly and respectful. Her apartment is very generous in size, however there is limited storage. The grounds and the common spaces are beautiful and well maintened. There was some confusion in the begining due to change in staff ( sales force), but was soon corrected.

The staff is very responsive to the residence needs. They address all residence by name always with a cherry disposition. They know their residence for example, if someone doesn't go to the exercise class, they go looking for the resident.

The staff is friendly and helpful but the nurses don't respond to call buttons quickly and their system of tracking meds isn't always accurate and up-to-date. Food is generally good but sometimes the options are too similar if the resident doesn't care for that cuisine (e.g., 2 Mexican dishes or 2 sandwich choices, etc.). They always have burgers available but sometimes things on the ala carte menu aren't available.

The facility is brand new and quite beautiful. The staff are all high energy and are very helpful. We were the first to move in on the first floor and there are definite quirks we find and they fix quickly or call who they need. My mom is becoming quite fond of the staff. I can mention a few but there are so many more I don't want to leave anyone out. Best wishes to the complete team/family!!

If you are wanting good food or good transport option this is NOT the place. knowing what I know now I would have chosen a different place. Great community, great staff but understaffed. Activities in house are abundant but not very creative. New owenership has prioritzed profit over care. Food is cafeteria style, not bad but nothing special. Huge benefit is washer dryers in each room, large resident population for varied social experience. I don't think the memory care is all that great. Definitely understaffed. Transport options are far too limited to tues-thurs for med appts only. I would place this as a second-tier option, not a luxury option. High price for what they provide.

I ate several meals at the Meridian and I enjoyed each one. I stayed for about a week and ate 3 meals a day.

A place for mom was very helpful with setting up appointments and directing us to the right facilities based on our needs. We met some fabulous people along the way and were able to make an informed best choice for my dad. He has been happily thriving in the facility for a month now. The staff are great and responsive to our needs. We love their Friday “Happy Hours” with live music because it’s the one thing that still seems to have an impact on dad… he loves it! Thank you and bless your staff and their tremendous work at A place for mom!

We were very pleased with the layout and amenities of the facility. My mom was very pleased by the easy access to the outdoor patio directly from her room. She is enjoying the socialization and feels very comfortable there.

My mom has is in an independent living room/building. She gets one meal a day from the food service and it's usually more than she can eat so she ends up, bringing some back with her. The cleaning crew comes in once a week and vacuums her unit she likes to keep a clean house so she still wants to do it herself. Parking at the independent living building is a bit crowded. We have to park on the street and walk up to the building or go to a different building and walk around it to get down to my mothers building when we visit. Most of the staff that does the cleaning and work in the area I believe our Somalians or and Caribbean descendants. My mother keeps to herself most of the time and does not partake in a lot of the activities/functions at the home.

My sister [name removed] experience at Waters Edge was very good. The staff was always helpful and kind. The facility was welcoming and comfortable. [name removed] had a wonderful view of the lake from her room and liked watching the wildlife.

The people are all super nice there and very kind to my dad. Sometimes communication is difficult because you tell the people in charge something and it doesn’t always get communicated to the staff. I usually have to call a couple times.

We were worried since my mother in law did not want to go into assisted living. She’s there maybe 3 months and she likes it very much! There is always someone around and everyone knows everyone on staff. We are very happy and safe having her there. Everything is done for her! She’s on and off in a wheel chair but they get her up with a walker whenever possible as they like to she her independent. We are very pleased

After a few setbacks and delays getting into her apartment, Mom is finally settling in to her new home. The staff are attentive and friedly, the neighbors are friendly, there are a good amount of activities. The facility is clean (there was a pest issue from former tenant, but the staff jumped right on it and it's been resolved). The menu is okay, and Mom is slowly adapting to her new (2) meal times. She hasn't used the transportation to appointments and shopping yet. The only negatives so far are that the deposit fees doubled between the time we toured and the time to sign contract, and the bathroom showerheads are difficult, and Mom is also missing going to church each Sunday. Our family is happy to see her getting more social and active and enjoying this next chapter of life.

Staff interaction high with residents. You can go to them anytime. Get a new chef! Frequently food is cooked ahead, sits and gets overcooked, dry, to much grease left in soups, taco salad. Too much pre-cooked foods as well.

The facility is wonderful in how it is laid out. All rooms are single rooms with a shared common area and open kitchen/dining area on each floor. The building sits on a secluded lot with a large pond in the back and lots of trees. Sightings of wildlife (deer, rabbits, geese, birds) occur often. My mom (who has memory loss and dementia) has been there for a year. We have had an administration and staff turnover already. The staff who work with the residents are great. They call the residents by name and are very friendly. I visit 4-5 nights a week and am usually there for evening meds. The staff are also courteous to me and have become an invaluable resource for answering any questions I have. The administration is very helpful in getting new residents into the building but pretty unavailable after that. My summation would be that it is a wonderful facility with kind and caring staff. The other residents in my mom's floor are also lovely. Mom is happy and safe and I don't think you could ask for more than that.

It's very clean inside and out side, staff always friendly and helpful. The price includes, rent, electric, water, cable, and 2 meals a day. My only thing would be how expensive it is. I wonder how seniors can afford places like these.

No compare for price value for cost hasn't joined activities yet. Looking forward to participate. Likes all staff members. Overall happy with community and care. Would recommend VOHB to friends and family.

Facility is super nice. Most of the we're very nice and caring. Room sizes were very nice and lots of amenities. Also had tons of activities.
