You'll notice the apartments come in several floor plans, with both one- and two-bedroom choices, and they haven't forgotten about things like kitchenettes, washer and dryer hookups in some independent living units, balconies for a bit of fresh air, or features like dark wood cabinetry and granite in the memory care apartments. Residents can bring a pet and use the onsite dog park, while outside there's a garden, golf putting green, fire pit, walking paths, patio, and a pergola, and if you're a fan of nature, you get 22 acres of nearby community nature park to explore. The staff are present around the clock, including licensed nurses onsite 24/7, and staff have training in memory support through programs like CARES® and EssentiALZ®, so there's support for people with Alzheimer's or other cognitive needs, and the staff work to provide assistance with medication, bathing, grooming, and meals as needed.
Inside, the community offers both private and common areas, with amenities like an elegant dining room, a cozy library, sitting rooms with fireplaces and pianos, a movie theater with plush seats and popcorn, a beauty and barber shop, coffee shop, and entertainment venues, so there's almost always something to do or a comfortable place to visit with others. Residents get Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and all utilities except phones are included, while emergency pendants, gated entries, and keypad-equipped courtyards add to the sense of security. Daily activities include fitness and wellness classes like yoga and chair exercises, creative arts, crafts, music, and Fit Minds® or iN2L® cognitive programs, plus activities for veterans, social gatherings, and regular religious services. Meals, described as gourmet and supervised by a registered dietician, offer a range of choices, from regular to diabetic, vegetarian, low-fat, and low-salt diets, all served in a restaurant-style setting, with options for room service, guest meals, and different venues depending on resident preference.
Health care on site covers a good range, including therapy services such as physical, occupational, rehabilitation, and outpatient therapy, and the staff coordinate with specialized healthcare providers. The facility offers hospice services, advanced pulmonary and ventilator care, and even a memory support program within the skilled nursing area, and residents can transition across care types, so there's peace of mind as a person's care needs shift. Housekeeping and linen service come standard, private housekeeping is possible, and transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping, and outings on scheduled days, while concierge transition services through SMART Solutions are there if the move's a challenge. There are programs for resident participation in community life, like a resident council that gives folks a say in decisions, and a THRIVE Wellness Program that lines up life-enriching activities every day, with language support for many backgrounds. The community's received good feedback in areas like meals, activities, and friendliness, and runs with a review score of 8.2 from residents and families. The Commons on Meridian keeps its environment secure, its staff well-trained, and its amenities up-to-date, so seniors can find independence, help, or memory care as needs change, all in pleasant surroundings with a friendly team.
