My experience
The place is overall clean and my parents like the facility and their apartment. The issues have been a light odor in hallway, maintenance issues take too long and we have had to follow up multiple times due to calls not being promptly returned. The bus for appointments has been cancelled a few times as well.

One cannot say that there is a better older persons' community than Brookdale Meridian in Lakewood, Colorado. Five years before I made my last ever move, I started searching for the ideal independent living arrangement that I could afford and that would have the amenities that I wanted. Brookdale Meridian more than fit the bill. I have lived here now for three years. The apartments are of adequate size, with lots of closets and a private balcony porch wherein 1 spend most of my summer days. It has good food and a marvelous dedicated staff who try to make our last days not only pleasant ,but fun - Happy Hour Fridays with alcoholic drinks, a band and line dancing with our walkers. More activities - yoga, chair exercise, crafting, watercolors, drawing, hand and foot, bridge, canasta, movies, Mexican train, billiards, uno, Bible study, book club and to top it off the grounds are full of trees. Unlike other places, you do not look down on a parking lot, but rather a grove of tree with an irrigation ditch flowing through with ducksl

My loved one was previously a resident at Brookdale Meridian Lakewood and the experience there was great. Communication with the family was good. I would recommend this facility to others, based on our experience.

Very kind staff and nice facility but constantly low on kitchen staff and you need to budget for significant rent increases every year. (8% this year and for prior two years). Rent increases have exceeded inflation and have been every year since moving in.

When my husband was sent, I was wowed by the individual attention that I received. I was really impressed! later I needed rehab after an accident and moved in. We could arrange to have meals together despite our separate accomodations and all else has been wonderful.

Our family had an in person tour and this was our first choice, the staff were very very nice and they really did try their best to work with us. They showed us a few different rooms that our loved one could potentially move into.

I was not too interested in this community due to the fact that it was a high rise community. We just knew that this community would not be the right fit for my loved one. The tour was good and they were very accommodating and showed us everything it was a super tour.

I liked the community. The only downfall was it was too far from my home for visits.

It's a pretty good community, and I feel comfortable with my father there. The staff is very friendly and caring. They do invest in the facilities but I would like to see more staff for the community. I would recommend this community to others.

The dining room was often short of help and late. Staff was friendly and helpful but there seemed to be a shortage of help on occasions. The day staff seemed unable to tell me about night activities. We enjoyed the grounds a lot. A very pleasant place to walk Staff that were present regularly were helpful and pleasant.

While it was a pretty nice facility, it didn't have a warm, welcoming feel to it. Staff didn't greet residents byname. residents who we saw seemed less functional than other facilities. Had good programs that were clearly defined.

My parents have lived here now for over a year. Dad in their Skilled Nursing and Mom in their independent living. This was the initial reason they moved there so they can be together. Mom is able to visit with Dad and bring him out to the ponds, to the large dining room for independent residents and the outings they can go together. Dad isn’t completely restricted to the “nursing home” which no one wants to be. BUT it is actually pretty nice- super large rooms and very caring staff. Mom loves the food and has been able to be herself again playing bridge and joining groups there. We do have the community helping her with medications and walking the dog which is super helpful that she doesn’t have to move out to AL to receive these services. We can add more as needs progress as well. We have looked and looked and if you have parents with changing/ different needs this is the place to be. Or even if you want a place for any needs that may arise no need to pay a lot more just to have assisted living, this community can help with most assistance needed as long as it can be scheduled. they work so well with the residents and just really show their compassion. Love it!!

I chose this place with my parents and once I explained what I needed with the sales director, price wise for both of my parents to have a 2 bedroom place, they were very, very helpful. Even just to help me with the price, they took off the second person charge and allowed me to have the 2 bedroom for my parents for the price of one. They’ve been great. The staff is absolutely easy to communicate with and knowledgeable about what they’re doing. They’re so patient with my parents. When we first started touring there, [Removed] (the sales person) was never pushy and always accommodating. The food is great, my parents love it, and I eat there all the time with my own family. It’s only $10 for me to eat there and they have Sunday brunch so most of the time we don’t even have to go out to a restaurant. They keep everything very clean. If we need maintenance, it all happens so fast and I’ve been impressed. There’s always staff walking around and checking on things. There are so many activities that it’s hard to keep up with. There’s a movie room, wine and cheese and happy hours, a game room, arts and crafts, and they’ll bring in people to do lectures. The activities schedule is just full. They even have Tai Chi and exercise classes and it’s all included in the price. There’s a greenbelt area in the back of the community where you can do some golfing and there are walking paths and gardens. It just doesn’t feel like you’re in a residential area. Every floor has an ambassador that comes down to help everyone move in and see if anyone needs anything, and they’re very nice and helpful. They have a military service wall as well and they’re putting my dad’s plaque up, which the whole family loves. Honestly, they’re getting more here than I ever expected and the price is so great. My parents can age in place, so if they have to do assisted living then they don’t have to move and it can all happen here. There’s a critical care unit on the 3rd floor so if need be then they can stay there if something were to happen and it’s all in the same facility. I was overwhelmed with all of the good stuff they have. I would highly recommend them.

We toured the Brookdale Meridian Lakewood and it was a very nice community. They offer many amenities for the residents. They gave a very nice presentation of what they could offer. We chose another community based on our budget needs, and we were looking for a more independent lifestyle.
