What families are saying about independent living in Ward
Recent reviews for independent living in Ward
Brookdale Meridian
3.1
My mom is diabetic and we pay extra for that. The nurses need educating on how to treat when blood sugar is low. The food is usually too spicy and too much pepper. The combination of food choices per meal doesn't go well together. Food portions are skimpy.
Meridian Living
5.0
My Aunt [name removed] is living there. There's lots of activities and things for them to do. All the staff is exceptional. Anything you need they help you out. I truly appreciate everything being done for her and us as a family. God bless you all ????
