I visited Meridian Village. The people were very patient. The lady that showed us around was very nice, but when I sat down and looked at their price structure, I shut down. I didn't pay attention anymore. I didn't think it was as clean as the other place I visited. Nothing was dirty, but it just wasn’t as clean, like the carpet, that probably needs to be replaced. I mean, there were just little things like that. But being honest, I had to shut down because I knew I didn't like it. The price was way too expensive. The one thing that I did, when I was going through this, I looked at some of their apartments, and they were nice enough; nothing special, but they were nice enough. When we came back and they were going to go for a two-bedroom unit, I told my daughter, "I'm going to sit down because I was done." At that point, I knew I was not interested in this place. They went on, and my daughter likes this place, but they agree with me that they thought it was way out of price range. There was a meal going on while we were there. They did offer us to have a meal there, but we had already eaten lunch, and I was not interested. They have a lot of exercise equipment and that kind of thing, but I didn't see anybody doing that. There was another room where there were some people playing cards, but beyond that, I didn't really notice anything. But a lot of that is my fault because I'd already ruled it out. The only person I dealt with was the administrator there that took us on the tour, and she was very nice. I was not impressed with the facility. I think they need to look at their price structure, it's way too expensive.

My mother was in Meridian Village. It wasn't anything with assistance or anything like that. It was just apartment living for seniors. It was two-and-a-half years ago, and they had an excellent independent living setup, nice size apartments, and a lot of caring people work there. It was starting to decline a little bit when we left. They had restaurant type seating for their meals. You could go down and order food off the menu or you could do their specials. All of a sudden, it got to the point where they couldn't keep a cook, so the food went downhill. I have no idea what it's like now. They had activities, and they took them on trips. It was a pretty active community.

We chose Meridian Village. The reason why we chose it was because it had an indoor pool and an indoor movie theater. It was a larger facility, so it had a little bit more to offer. The price was in our budget. The rooms themselves were larger. Everybody we met was great, so that was really good.

My mother has been in Meridian Village, so we decided not to move her. Our experience with having her there is excellent, it's just pricey. The staff is great and the living atmosphere is very good; it's excellent. The food is very good, too. Before the coronavirus they had water volleyball and games, but since COVID hit they haven't had any of that. You pay a lot and you get a lot, but it's very pricey, and they make charges for everything. If you need something they charge for it, and if you need something else they charge for it. We thought my mom would need to go to assisted living, but we worked something out where she could have nurses come in and administer the care that she needed. It's still cheaper than moving her to their assisted living.

Wonderful facility. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of activities and chances to socialize. Extreme clean and beautiful facility. Checked it out for my parents but when the time comes for me to retire, this is where I want to go.

My grandmother has lived at Meridian Village for 5 years. She absolutely loves it. The facility has full-time staff, highly trained nurses and CNA's, rehab and nursing facility onsite, 3 healthy meals a day, and much more. The facility is clean and classy. There are house cleaning services available and if she ever needs anything, the facility is good about helping her attain it. There is also Activities every day for her to participate in and there is even a pool. She and her family could not be happier that she is in such a great place.
