I toured. From the outside, it did not look like a medical facility; it looked more like an apartment building. The units had places where you could step outside, each with a little deck and mature trees around, so it was shady and very pleasant. That was one of the best things about it. When you go inside, it seems like an apartment building or facility. It was not really new and showed some signs of wear. It didn't have some of the facilities and amenities that some of the newer places have. The staff I met were all very friendly and helpful with their information. It seemed more appropriate for assisted living than for independent living. The ambience was OK, but it just didn't fit me.

I like the location. I also like the fact that it only has three floors of units, so it isn't a high-rise. The staff is very, very good at working with my parents' budget and coming up with a way to meet their budget to get them in there. I also like their amenities because they're on ten acres of land. For the most part, my parents like their food. They're just getting new servers, so I think they're a little new on the service side of it in that area. There's a lot of new people in there right now. They have activities, too. They have a whole area where they can cut, they have an area where they can garden, and they have an outdoor area where they have cocktail hour. They have different outings to restaurants and the Denver Performing Arts. They have a bus to take them out to see the leaves change in the fall. They have different activities like that.

We chose here 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.

Meridian Lakewood is independent but has meals. My mother is very happy with the layout, the underground parking, and the storage facility. Her apartment is spacious and well laid out. She loves her balcony that looks out onto a park. She is fully integrated with all of her activities and has made such good friends and good connections. She is 89 and is one of the most vibrant girls in the place. The leadership is quite nice.

We had lunch at Meridian Lakewood; they showed us around, and we were really impressed. You could park your car in a basement, and they have lots of amenities like belly dancing; that was kind of fun. The food was very good, it was well served, and you didn’t have to sit at the same table all the time.

During our tour at Meridian Lakewood, they gave us a seminar on senior living and some of the things to look out for in moving, and that was nice. We had a nice tour of all the grounds. I think there's a library next to it, and it has the nicest grounds among all the places that we looked at. They serve meals, and there's a lot of activities.

We are living currently at Meridian Lakewood and like it a lot. The food is excellent. We have a large corner apartment on the first floor that has a lot of lights, a little deck, and storage off the deck, which appealed to my husband a lot. The closet space is very good, which is really surprising.

We are really happy with Meridian Lakewood and having a very good experience. The staff is doing a good job getting my mom rehabilitated. The room is large, and the dining room is very nice. I tried the food in the building but not on the floor where she is living. She seems to like it. Mom is in a care center for skilled nursing. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

My wife is in Meridian Lakewood. I think she is doing well and is happy. Her apartment is very adequate for her. She is not much involved in the activities, but there are some walking paths.

We liked the grounds the best. The staff is quite good. There are different styles of apartment. The one that my mother has is one bedroom. It's rather old looking and a bit outdated. She is not very happy there. The food is not good. They have arts and crafts, they go out to places and to different cultural activities, they go to lunch quite often, and they have game times and movie nights. She seems to like those quite a bit. She has been in Lakewood Meridian since late May. They definitely need to get a new chef and update the facilities. The common areas are nice, but the rooms are very old and need refurbishing.

My mom is doing well. The atmosphere in The Meridian is good. The service and the amenity are good as well. I don't have any problems with it. They are very good with the activities. She is in her room very much, and they make sure they go out to the family room and get involved with things. The things my mom goes to is flower arranging and games. They have bowling and mind games. It changes day by day, but they make sure to keep them on the family room and play games and stuff like that to keep their mind going. I am very happy with what they are doing with her. I am just pleased with her being there. You always have questions and concerns about how they are taking care of your family member. Of course there are things that I would do differently if she was staying here with me, but overall they have done a really good job with her.

My mom is in here. We chose it because they provide her a chance to start independently, and when she needs assistance, she will not have to move. They have quite a few programs. They offer physical therapy, weekly movies, and game days. She plays cards and Wii, and she is more active in this community than she is when she is living by herself. They have the right amount of staff that my mom needs. She feels comfortable where she is. She has a one-room apartment with a kitchen, but that's what she needs and she hasn't complained about it. The food is good. It is in small portion, but she doesn't eat much.

We liked it. The staff treated me very well. They had exercise facilities and classes. They had a theater area that looked nice.

We were searching for a facility and we picked here. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was excellent. The accommodations are very, very nice. It's not cheap but my children insist that if I'm saving my money for my old age, this is it. I'm very happy with them.

We visited a lot of places and we have decided on here. We chose this facility because of its beauty and its location. They have a huge decorated landscaped courtyard and a nice dining room. We have a two-bedroom-two-bathroom apartment. Their staff is absolutely unbelievable. They are very helpful and friendly. They are there to answer questions, help us when we need help, and take care of anything that we don't know about. They also have activities for their tenants. We're very satisfied. In fact, I have already recommended this place to others.
