Brookdale Meridian Lakewood is the one that I liked the best because it just seemed like one that my father would align with a little bit better. They also had walking paths outside. There was a catch and release fishpond and stuff. There were lots of different social opportunities, too. I also liked the Brookdale at Home Service option, so that my father could be independent living. He could then have some services added on as he needs more care. The staff who gave me the tour seemed well-informed and well connected, but their follow-up has been a little bit poor. She is supposed to email me things and hasn't. I've called several times and haven't heard back, so that's not been the best. In terms of activities, it seems like a busy place. I saw the setup for all the activities, but I didn't necessarily see any activities in motion.

Brookdale Meridian Lakewood was very well maintained. The apartments were fully equipped. The view outside, the trees, and the walking paths were something we liked. The staff was very professional and very well-organized with lots of good information. They had a beauty salon, outdoor walking paths, and a fitness area. Their upkeep was good.

I am a resident of Brookdale Meridian Lakewood. I'm perfectly happy here. Unfortunately, we had a fire last February. They have exercise classes every day, active minds, mix and mingle; they have all sorts of things here. There's one floor for people who are very sick more than assisted living, but the north and south side are all independent living. They have lovely groves and all of that sort; it's in an older area with trees. The food is like living in a dormitory when you're in college. It's a little monotonous, but it is okay. I only go down for one meal because it's very difficult to hear in the dining room. Of course, I want nice, well-cooked meals with fresh vegetables and things like that, but I'm not going to rate the place entirely on the food. I do not cook anymore. I give it a four, only because it's so hard to hear in the dining area. I like the people and the activities. Otherwise, it's absolutely fine. I have a washer and dryer in my apartment. They have two weak points. They put in the wrong washer and dryers on the second and third floors here, they are very high. So, the washer and dryers and the hearing are the only two things. My apartment is nice sized. I have a balcony and all of that, and I have a cat. It's a good value for what it is. They have sufficient activities here. I'm on the south side, and they're having to replace the roof of about 21 apartments on the first, second, and third floors because of the fire last February. I'm on the second floor where I did not have to be evacuated, but the people further down had to be.

We chose Brookdale Meridian Lakewood because of the availability of my physical and occupational treatments that I have on an ongoing basis. They have them on staff so I can do it right there. I like the setting. It is on a greenbelt with pine trees, and it is in a very quiet neighborhood. I have not had too many dealings yet with the staff because I am yet to move in. I have only gotten to work with Ashley (who was their liaison agent). She has been very accommodating and very eager to provide me with the things I need such as all-wood flooring and walk-in shower. Their facilities are very complete; they have a room for everything. There is a dining room, two libraries, a very extensive room with things to do outside your apartment. They have weekly housekeeping. They have laundry service. There are three meals a day, plus a choice of dishes that you could eat. They have lots of activities like Wii bowling. They will take me to the local stores and doctors' appointments. The staff arranged for a private meal so we could try the food, and it is excellent. They have a huge variety of food.

We found Brookdale Meridian Lakewood for Mom, and shes moving in today, but so far, were very pleased. The staff was very helpful, and the community was very nice, appeared to be well-maintained, and pleasant. The food was OK, but it wasnt as good as I hoped it should be. We had two meals there. The first one was underseasoned, and the second one was overseasoned. My mother enjoyed her meals, so that was important. The dining area was nice with a little fireplace that was nice and quiet, and overlooked a little patio. Their activities appeared to be a very good match for her, and the thing she liked to do. Its an older facility, some settling of the building was obvious, but it seemed a solid building, and it appeared to be well maintained.

I'm a resident of Brookdale Meridian Lakewood, and I'm very happy with what I got. I like that the community has ten acres of property; you can get out and get some sunshine in. I'm in charge of bingo and the veteran's group. The food is good, although it could be better. We have transportation and a gym, but not a big one, and so on. The staff is excellent. The value for the price is very good.
