Meridian Care sits in Alice, TX, and has been around since 2008, serving as a nursing home facility with two buildings called Meridian and the Drake, where the Drake building holds a Secure Memory Care Unit for folks with Alzheimer's and Dementia, and these rooms are private and comfortable so everyone feels safe. The staff offers long-term care for people who can't live alone anymore, short-term nursing for those needing a bit of extra help, and skilled rehabilitation services when someone's recovering from illness or surgery. There's a strong focus on dementia and Alzheimer's care, with specific training programs and state-approved caregiver certification courses, so the staff really know what they're doing, and they even have classes on residential assisted living, senior home care, Medicaid training, and more, making sure caregivers are ready for whatever comes up. Meridian Care helps not only seniors, but also provides services for people with disabilities and offers individual and family counseling, welfare, and referral support, and sometimes even helps with refugee, disaster, and temporary relief needs. The facility supports residents and families as they walk through life changes, covering everything from daily care to long-term care insurance guidance, all with a team who's dedicated to comfort and well-being, whether that's in regular nursing care, retirement community living, or disability resources.

Mixed care, outbreak, poor communication
I'm torn. The staff were often amazing-caring, professional and attentive-and my loved one made real progress (gained weight, walking again); the facility felt very clean and recovery-oriented. However, a COVID outbreak (~30 patients) raised infection concerns, communication/HR was unresponsive (long waits for verification letters), some staff were rude/unwelcoming, and there was no in-room vital monitoring or consistent help with eating-I wouldn't recommend it for rehab. I'm contacting HHSC/corporate and would advise caution.
