Brookdale Meridian Lakewood

Reviews of the senior living facility present a mixed bag of experiences and opinions. Some highlight the exceptional care and amenities provided, such as comfortable apartments that are affordable, enjoyable social amenities, and a beautiful community with great team spirit. Residents and their families have praised the facility for going above and beyond during the Covid crisis, facilitating virtual visits and outdoor meetings by ponds, which have been particularly appreciated by those with a love for nature.

On the other hand, there are significant concerns raised about the staff's attitude, with reports of rudeness and a lack of care for both residents and employees. Some reviews express dissatisfaction with the management and specific staff members, suggesting improvements in staff training and management oversight could enhance the living and working environment. Concerns about safety and the adequacy of facilities, such as the delay in apartment readiness and incidents leading to resident injuries, have also been noted.

Despite these criticisms, many reviews commend the skilled nursing care, the variety and quality of activities available to residents, and the overall warmth and welcoming nature of the community. The food, staff, especially in activities, and the serene location away from the city have been highlighted as reasons to recommend this facility.

It's clear that while there are areas for improvement, particularly in staff behavior and facility management, many residents and their families have found happiness and satisfaction in the community's offerings. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to consider both the positive aspects and the areas flagged for improvement when making their decision.
