What this means for your family
While The Meridian has a history of being a premier, high-end facility with excellent rehab services, recent years show a troubling decline in care standards. Families should be extremely cautious and specifically investigate current nursing competency and the reliability of hot water and meal temperatures during their visit.

Key Review Excerpts
“The Meridian is a great place if you are considering an independent, assisted or full care retirement community for you or a loved one. There is an excellent physical therapy department with an impressive track record of assisting patients to a quick recovery.”
“The kitchen staff would prepare food at the Meridian facility, and bring it via car to the Inn! Food was ALWAYS cold.”
“Nurses are rude and patients are not being taken care of properly at all. They are disregarding basic needs and this needs to be looked into immediately.”
