Not what was promised - not enough assistance

When I moved my parents in I was told they would assist them. They do not appear to assist them with the daily problems they experience. Be cautious of salespeople who over promise. I asked a lot of questions about who would assist with medication, general needs like their TV, phones and internet. I was told they had people who would assist them with the day to day difficulty of aging. It turns out they feed them and house them but do no more. [Amount removed] a month for a two bedroom apartment and meals. I feel

This property is really nice. The staff is amazing and the views are great. It looks like a wonderful place for my father to end up and that’s where we are hoping he might go after he’s done with his physical therapy. I really like Kirk. he is easy to work with and genuinely wants you to be happy with your decision whether it’s to go with Meridian or someplace else five stars in my opinion.
