What this means for your family
The Meridian at Stone Creek offers a beautiful, resort-like environment with an excellent activity program that many residents enjoy. However, families should be aware of a recurring pattern of poor communication and difficulty reaching management during critical transitions. We strongly recommend asking for a direct contact person for medical coordination and verifying current staffing ratios if your loved one requires significant daily assistance.

Key Review Excerpts
“The care staff and dining servers are wonderful...some going above and beyond to care for their residents. However, for those needing more assistance, they are COMPLETELY UNDERSTAFFED for the size of this facility!”
“My grandparents were apart of this community which was great until they both ended up in the hospital, trying the return to the facility from the hospital was a nightmare, my grandma had to wait 4 days in the hospital for no reason because no one from the facility would return phone calls.”
“The Meridian at Stone Creek is such a beautiful retirement community!!! We wanted to get my mom in there for assisted living but she needed more care than they could give her at the time!”
