I toured a few senior living homes for mother who is 85. Meridian at Westwood hit the mark. Her studio apartment is perfect for her. It’s manageable and it lets in lots of light. Everyday they check on her, all meals are included and she is already making friends. The residents and the staff have been so welcoming. It was a very big transition for my mother but Meridian at Westwood is looking to be the right decision. I wish we would have placed her there sooner.

A family member moved into the Meridian this month and we are very happy that we chose this place! It is clean, brightly lit, and feels like a resort hotel. The marketing staff went out of their way to make our transition as seamless as possible, in spite of the pandemic. We received accurate information and were informed of options throughout the process. The staff is helpful, cheerful, and treats our family member like an adult.

I've been a nurse 37 years & I am continually impressed with the staff - kindness & organization of Westwood. Everyone has greeted my dad by name.

Everyone at the Meridian at Westwood has been very helpful and welcoming to Dad. He made friends quickly and is very glad he's there, even though he was hesitant.

After living at The Meridian for one month, it felt like home. The staff is amazingly friendly and accommodating. The one bedroom apartment is spacious. There is an overall welcoming and friendly atmosphere and newcomers are made to feel welcome both by the staff and other residents. Medical care is steps away at the hospital or at the White Wilson Medical Center. The arrangement of the apartments around a six-story indoor atrium invites socializing.
 

— Resident

From the time we toured, we knew this was the place for our loved ones. The staff is friendly, caring, and all we met ended with 'I love my job'. Any issues we brought up were 'don't worry, we've handled that before'. My loved ones are happy healthy and safe. I couldn't ask for more.
