Was very impressed in my father's stay in rehab here. I worked in social service director at another rehab so I went in with eyes open. My dad received excellent care!

My husband came to Creekside from a Memory Care facility under a stressful situation. It was hurried and I was not prepared for the need. I was dubious about the quality of the facility my husband was going to, as I was not the one who chose the Skilled Nursing Facility. There was no time for research on my part. Though this facility is old, compared to others, I could not be more pleased. It is clean and the staff friendly and professional. I'd like to give a special shout out to Nurse Erika! My husband, who is living with advanced dementia, is being well looked after. All of the various entities, from the Social Workers, Nursing, Therapists, Dietitians, Activities Director and Transportation have been in regular communication with me. In observing how the caregivers interact with those needing their services, I've seen nothing but kindness and respect from them towards those they are caring for. I visit my husband daily at different times of the day and evening. Because he falls frequently, he is in a wheelchair and placed where there are eyes on him. I recognize that no place is perfect. I also recognize that my husband has not been there long. But I met a lovely lady yesterday, who has been a resident at Creekside for five years! She is there due to mobility issues. She said that she has been very happy with the staff and the care she receives at Creekside. So if anyone is looking for a Skilled Nursing Facility for a loved one, I would highly recommend Creekside in Meridian. Should things change, I will update my review.

I was very well taken care of at Creekside. The occupational and physical therapists literally got me back on my feet within a week. Ashley, Kathleen, Star, Lola, Erica and Rosalinda come to mind for going above and beyond. Too many other names I’ve left out.

The staff is what makes this older facility truly shine. They are amazing and kind. I take a plethora of medications and they were on top of them. They also worked hard to keep my pain in check from the moment that I arrived. While I was there for a problem related to my total hip replacement, many were there with memory problems. I watched as these nurses gave round-the-clock true care to those who could not say thank you. I have insomnia, so I saw at all hours how helpful and kind they were. My stay through the holidays was actually made joyful, not just bearable. Thank you so much, Creekside!!!

My experience with creekside has truly been a gift. In this difficult time, the care team really did go above and beyond to help my family navigate next steps of what life looks after his hospital stay. I couldnt be more appreciative for their quickness to address any question we had especially with this being our first go at rehab. Thank you all!
