Dining at Meridian is truly a pleasurable experience and one that's full
of choices. You can choose to dine with friends and neighbors
or entertain family and guests in our beautifully appointed Dining Room
where our friendly and professional waitstaff welcome
you to each dining experience.
Our restaurant
style menu offers
you the choice of a number of inviting entrée selections or, if
you prefer, you may choose the Featured Entrée. Click

To compliment your entrée or as a light
fare meal, there is our complete Salad Bar with offerings of seasonal greens,
fruits, vegetables, one or more prepared salads and homemade soups and breads.
Imaginative Theme, Special Event, Candlelight
and Wine Dinners and Sunday Brunch also
are favorites with our residents.
Of course, you always have the option of preparing meals
yourself in the fully equipped kitchen in your apartment. And, when you
wish to entertain privately, but prefer not to cook, our Private
Dining Room is
available to enjoy a catered meal or a private party with your friends.
With Meridian's flexible Dining Program, you
decide when
you will dine with us and pay only for those meals.
As
comfortable as you will be in your apartment at Meridian, you will want
to become involved in the fun and exciting happenings our Communities have
to offer from morning to evening.
You might enjoy a favorite book from the library,
or decide to join one of the many classes offered at our Communities.
Perhaps you would enjoy demonstrating your skills at bridge, pinochle,
rummy or canasta in the Game Room. Or, you may want to
join Body Works!™
another unique Meridian program where "Making Your Body Work For You" becomes
not just a goal but a reality. Tai Chi, Yoga and fitness
classes also are scheduled for your enjoyment as well
as to improve your physical and mental well-being.
Morning and afternoon coffee and refreshments in the Hospitality
Bar offer a great opportunity for mingling with friends or for
joining in a discussion of current events, upcoming activities or trips.
Whether you enjoy the outdoors, the theater or other cultural events or
dining at one of your favorite restaurants, you will find something of interest
on our Events Calendar. Our scheduled transportation program
makes your participation even easier.
There also are opportunities for your new or continued involvement in the local
community. Many of our residents participate in volunteer work
with their local charities or with local service organizations. And we
welcome your participation on resident committees.
Plan a schedule that is rewarding for you with the assistance
of a full-time Activities Director. The choice
is yours.

To assist you in maintaining your home in the manner
you are accustomed, your apartment will be cleaned by our housekeeping
staff every other week. Weekly flat linen service
also is provided for
you. And, for your convenience, there are laundry rooms for your use
in laundering your personal items.
If you need help to hang your mirrors or artwork, change
a hard to reach light bulb or repair a major appliance, our Plant
Operations staff is available to help you with these chores. These same
staff members also are responsible for maintaining each Meridian Community
in a First Class condition and for assuring the continuing beauty of
the grounds that surround each of our Communities.
You deserve the peace of mind knowing that, if your health
needs change, there are a variety of services available to meet those needs.
At Meridian, we call these services our Health Safety Net.
The newest addition to our Health Safety Net is our unique Body Works!™ Program
where Making Your Body Work for You becomes a reality. A variety
of fitness and other classes also are available to maintain and improve
your overall well-being.
Preventive Screenings are scheduled
on a regular basis throughout the year to assist you in monitoring your
health status. Assessments by
our full-time Health Services Director, along with seminars on
current health topics, also assist you in making improvements in your
personal health and sense of well-being at our Communities.
You will also find the assistance of the Health
Services Director at your Community invaluable in helping you navigate
today's increasingly complex health care system so that you
receive the care or services you need when you are hospitalized or experience
a health challenge.
And
when you need some limited assistance when recovering from a minor illness
or a hospital stay, our Independence Plus® services are
there to speed your recovery. Independence Plus services also are available
to provide you that little extra help you may need during the day and
early evening hours in your Independent Living apartment at Meridian
Retirement Communities.
You also will find the rehabilitation program offered
at our Communities, including the physical therapy, occupational therapy
and speech therapy sessions, which is enhanced by our unique Carryover
Program, another important part of our Health Safety Net.
If there comes a time when, on a short or long term basis, you would
benefit from health care or other supportive services that we do not
offer at Meridian Retirement Communities, you can use your accrued Health
Care Days at one of our Meridian Health Centers.
Adding to your peace of mind is an emergency alert cord in
your apartment to assist you in summoning assistance in case of an emergency.
And to better assure the continuity, consistency and quality of
the services offered under our Health Safety Net, we use our own staff
and consultants to provide these services to you - all of whom share
a commitment to our First Class standard.
Our Health Safety Net provides
you meaningful choices as well as flexible, convenient and quality
services to enhance your physical and mental well-being and the quality
of your life at a Meridian Retirement Community.
If you like what you're learning about Meridian Retirement Communities
but feel daunted by the prospect of the move itself, our Fast
Track Program is there for you! We also offer a variety of
other services designed to simplify your move to a Meridian Retirement
Community.
Our Home Sale Assistance Program will
connect you with a reputable realtor, estate liquidator and mover - all
of whom have assisted many of our residents. We also provide assistance
with setting up new services, such as your address change to the Meridian
Retirement Community you select.
Count on Meridian's experienced staff and reputable resources to assist
you with making your move to Meridian easier and less stressful.
