Independent Living Communities in Meridian, MS

"We went and toured Brookdale Meridian. That's an amazing facility. If my mother-in-law were in a better situation physically, I would highly recommend it. I think it's a wonderful facility. They have a large number of activities for the residents to do. We were there during the Christmas break, and they had an event where all the families were wrapping gifts, and they were doing a thing where the residents could wrap presents and just participate. It was nice. The facility is clean, and they're constantly updating. The staff that we met was very kind, very thoughtful, and very generous. The rent price rates that they quoted me were fine. It was priced correctly. The services and the cost were perfect for me. I wish I could get her in there right now. Most of the residents there are female. Their rooms do not have kitchens, and they can't cook. But what they do, which I thought was neat, is they have a day like if a resident got a dish that she is proud of and wants to present, they can go into this kitchen area with a staff member and the staff member helps them prepare that food, so that they still feel like they have something of their former life with them. I loved that; I thought that was the greatest thing because, from my personal experience, my mother-in-law's major complaint is that we would not let her cook. Also, the room that they showed us that was available for her, was perfect. I just wish I could have gotten her in it."

"Meridian Living seemed very secure and very home-like. Their menus and activities were very impressive. I was very impressed with the staff and the atmosphere of the entire facility. It felt more like a nice hotel, rather than a nursing home facility. The staff that I talked to seemed very compassionate, as well as very attentive. They have a variety of activities going on like arts and crafts and games. Right now, the big thing among the residents is dominoes. They have a dominoes tournament set for the end of the month. In that way, they're also responsive to the residents, because they find something that people really pick up on."

"I toured Aldersgate Retirement Community and it is a beautiful place. It's like a village. They have 2 or 3 buildings that are independent living and they also have assisted living. I believe it's a faith-based place and it felt like home when I walked in. They have cottages that look like houses in a neighborhood. The staff who assisted me during the tour was wonderful, just down to earth, and very nice. They have very nice wood floors and kitchens that are up-to-date. They have walking trails with lots of trees so it's private. They also have security."
