Residents and their families say:

The Meridian at Westwood is praised for its friendly staff and a wide range of amenities, including in-house physical therapy, a nail & hair salon, a pool, and diverse activities such as bingo, social activities, movie theater, cards, and puzzles. Reviewers appreciated the room sizes and the availability of kitchenettes in the apartments. The community offers a comfortable and confident home, with residents enjoying varied food options and engaging in daily fun activities irrespective of the weather, thanks to facilities like the central atrium and several outdoor sitting areas.
However, despite the positive feedback, some areas of concern were highlighted. The size of the community was overwhelming for some potential residents, and the cleanliness and maintenance in certain areas were in need of improvement.

Some reviewers were displeased with the dining arrangement and choice of meals, and there were minor complaints regarding maintenance issues like A/C not working and difficulty with door locks. Despite these points, the overwhelming response from residents and their families suggests a positive and enriching living experience at the Meridian at Westwood, underpinned by caring staff and a lively atmosphere.
