My mother was in the independent living section for approximately 8-9 years. She was 1 of the many displaced after pipes burst. To move from an independent living to a 2 star motel was extremely difficult for my mom. The kitchen staff would prepare food at the Meridian facility, and bring it via car to the Inn! Food was ALWAYS cold. The Meridian was getting worse as years progressed. My moms cable NEVER worked properly...and I mean NEVER! I have copies of my countless complaints! What literally made me move her OUT was when she was in the rehabilitation side of the Meridian - she had bypass surgery. She had a bright yellow bracelet on her wrist that said "Fall Risk." Why did the nurse allow my 93 year old mother to bathe herself...with NO help? Nurse sat in my moms room as my mom is showering herself - of course with her shower chair. The man in charge actually visited my mom to make sure this occurred. He told me I should look at this as a learning experience. The rehabilitation side of The Meridian is the biggest excuse for a facility I have ever experienced. No one answers phones, no one knows if the patient has had meds, no one knows if and when the patient is to have a bath, there are no extra blankets, sheets, pillows, etc...IN A HOSPITAL. Mom is now thriving in a new facility.
