1. Ambassador needs not ask the resident to take a tour on first day of moving in! He asked 3 times, resident was exhausted and had to say no each time, not cool. Maybe set some policies/expectations for them to be patient in their approach, especially on move in day. 2. Great first and second lunch tour with [name removed]! She answered all our concerns/questions and was very thorough and professional. 3. Food comments: Mac n cheese and casseroles don't make a good meal. Larger portions of meat/protein and fresh

Great place for mom to be independent and be able to gain new friends. The staff was very supportive and helpful very friendly. We were invited for dinner two nights in a row. Although the rent is doable my concern is the 5-6% yearly rent increase. We’re excited to my mom into her new home.

We needed to find a place for Mom she was living with us here in Meridian, however it proved to be more challenging in a blended family environment consisting of me and my wife my wife’s Mom our daughter and husband with a baby on the way along with several animals. Well mom wasn’t prepared for that big of a change she needed her independence back and I believe this is the place she’s going to find it. The people living there practically sold it to us! Such friendly folks and staff all welcoming with open arms. My
