Meridian at Laguna Hills

My Mom is very happy at Meridian. Lots of activities and she says the staff are "wonderful." They were very helpful and accommodating during the move in process. The other residents are also very friendly and it didn't take long for her to make new dining and card game friends. The dining room staff are very pleasant and cheerful. Her only issue is that some of the food is not to her liking.

My dad loves The Meridian

My dad toured The Meridian and immediately knew he wanted to move in. He got a big one bedroom that is large enough for a living room and an area to do his paintings, which is his life work and passion. He is able to have his doggie best friend with him and loves the safe area to let him run around. He reports loving the food and the staff. He keeps mainly to himself and chooses not to socialize much, but the place has a lot of activities available.

Home away from home

Five across the board we couldn't have asked for a better experience staff quality of care. It was a pretty incredible place for him. Very grateful. Gentle, kind, and caring. I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care my dad received at The Meridian. The staff were truly amazing, demonstrating kindness and compassion every day. The quality of care was excellent, and it was evident that they genuinely cared about the residents. The activities offered were not only engaging but also a lot of fun. The facility was beautifully decorated for the holidays, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. My dad even enjoyed getting his nails done and hair cut at their on-site salon, which added a nice touch to his experience. Thank you, The Meridian, for making my dad's time there so special. I highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking a loving and supportive environment for their loved ones.

mom is happy but some improvements are needed.

I would say overall the residents seem happy and cared for. Repairs are constant and frequent staff changes and conditions have declined a bit in the last year. They could use a little improvement on the quality of foods being served. It seems to have declined recently.

Limited Staff, Disorganized Management

There are limited staff available, and they are stretched thin. Turnover is a major issue. Based off of our experience there, I could not recommend Meridian at Laguna Hills.

Review for Meridian at Laguna Hills

The facility was great when I moved my parents there however in the last year it has been declining and got so bad that I moved them out almost two months ago. The service in the restaurant was horrible due to staff shortage. The food was always cold and often they would wait over 30 minutes for food. There was severe water damage early in the year destroying the hallway to the entrance to the elevators. There is very strong toxic fumes coming from it and the residents have to pass everyday just to get inside the elevators which I find indefensible to allow the residents to breath in those toxic fumes everyday!! The last straw was when I called the lobby to see if someone could help me get my stepfather off the floor because he had fallen and I was not able to get him up without assistance. They informed me that they could not help because he was in independent living apartments. That is awful!!
