The Meridian at Brandon sits as a three-story, 117,000 square-foot senior living community that offers supportive independent living, assisted living, and memory care services in a building that looks and feels a lot like a boutique hotel, with grand spaces, elegant décor, and lots of seating areas where residents can rest or gather and visit. The facility offers 136 pet-friendly apartment units, with choices ranging from studios to one- and two-bedroom floor plans sized from 294 to 739 square feet, and each apartment includes private kitchenettes and closets for convenience. The main lobby has a grand two-story atrium with comfortable seats, a fireplace, wood accents, and warm lighting, and there are several lounges, a library, a second-floor lounge, and activity rooms with patios where people can spend time with friends and family or just quietly enjoy the day.
There's a strong focus on care, with nurses on staff around the clock, medication help, and personalized care plans made for each person. For those in memory care, there's a secure neighborhood featuring private suites in a home-like setting, supervised access to amenities, and the MONTESSORI MOMENTS IN TIME™ Memory Care program, which builds on each resident's life story to encourage independence and meaningful activities. People living with dementia can also take part in the ElderGrow™ gardening program, and the memory care area has a theater room, cozy lounges, a coffee bar, and intentional design to reduce stress and support memory.
Services cover help with bathing, dressing, and grooming, plus housekeeping, laundry, transportation to appointments and outings, and state-of-the-art amenities like a fitness center with senior-friendly equipment, a fitness and rehab center, and a spa with a massage room. There's restaurant-style dining led by an executive chef, along with cafes, a bistro, and private dining rooms, and meals can fit special diet needs. The activities calendar stays full, with options for arts, music, games, holiday celebrations, movies, and group outings.
Residents have access to a game room, art studio, country kitchen, and a movie theater-like setting. The grounds include lush landscaping, a circular pond with fountains, and ample parking. There's an onsite salon and barbershop with styling chairs, a shampoo sink, and a manicure station, plus plenty of gathering spaces inside like the Four Seasons lounge and Sunset Cafe.
The Meridian at Brandon also provides onsite rehabilitation and therapy, a healthcare referral directory, educational webinars, community resources like books and podcasts, and connections for social workers and healthcare professionals. The community has earned recognition as a Best Memory Care Community by U.S. News & World Report in 2023. Residents can count on a maintenance-free lifestyle and enjoy a steady mix of purposeful engagement, all in a building designed for both comfort and safety.
