The Meridian at Waterways stands along the Intracoastal Waterway with beautiful water views from many spots, including the eighth-floor Sky Lounge, where folks gather for happy hour or listen to the grand piano, which always feels nice if you want to be around others. The community offers independent living, assisted living, short-term stays, and memory care, all under one roof, so most everyone can find the help they need, whether that's just a little support with laundry and meals or more involved help with bathing, dressing, and medication, or even specialized services for those living with dementia through their Montessori Moments in Time™ program. There's a game room for cards or bingo, a surround sound theater with a big screen for movie nights, and walking paths outside for strolls, plus a rooftop patio and waterside seating when the weather's good. Dining happens in a restaurant-style setting with floor-to-ceiling windows and the food comes out healthy with special diets if needed, three meals a day and snacks too, plus there's a private dining room for special gatherings. The building looks and feels like a boutique hotel thanks to its elegant decor, artwork on the walls, and those big water views, and folks can pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, all laid out for comfort and safety. The staff includes nurses, Med Techs, CNAs, and activity coordinators who stay onsite around the clock, focused on helping with whatever's needed, from medication to mobility to wellness checks, even a nurse call system in every apartment. Life here runs on a schedule of daily activities with fitness classes, spa days in the beauty salon, social programs, and resident-run events for anyone who wants to keep busy, and transportation's always available for errands or outings. Most people here want to keep their independence, and the staff aim to make sure nobody has to give up their usual habits or hobbies, and attention to detail-from housekeeping to security in the memory care area to responding quickly if someone presses their call button-helps keep everyone safe. The Meridian at Waterways tries to offer a worry-free setting where folks can focus on enjoying their days, meeting friends, and taking in the water views, with care nearby for peace of mind.
